Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Perched on one of the highest points in North Orange County and encircled by 12 acres of Fullerton's Vista Park, celebrations at this iconic spot are blessed by spectacular panoramas: To the north loom the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains; to the east are the Santa Anas; to the south and west are the Laguna Hills and the sparkling Pacific. At night, it feels like you are floating atop a sea of stars.
  • Built in the tradition of an English country manor, the House is truly romantic, boasting classic Old World details like coffered ceilings, pewter chandeliers, and enormous bay windows for soaking in the views. Just outside, lush sycamores shade the manicured lawns and rose gardens create a fragrant surrounding for ceremonies in the wedding gazebo.
  • Their all-inclusive packages provide just about everything—BYO the rings and leave the rest to the experts. Crafted specifically to take the pressure off planning and pulling off a grand event, the inclusions are truly generous: expect perks like wedding photography, DJ services, lush florals, and, of course, delectable in-house catering that will astound your foodie guests.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Summit House, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The Tudor package adds Chiavari chairs, hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and bottled wine with dinner, and the Windsor package adds a custom wedding cake and a hosted bar. Plan separately for a 22% service charge and tax, a ceremony fee, a $2,500 room fee on Saturdays and December weekends, and your own cake and favors unless your package includes them.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Summit House, or will guests need to travel between them?

You can marry at the gazebo in Vista Park, right beside Summit House, which seats up to 250 guests, then celebrate in the Grand Summit Room, with coffered ceilings, pewter chandeliers and big bay windows. The ceremony fee is $950 on Fridays and Sundays and $1,350 on Saturdays and December dates, plus an $850 park rental for the gazebo.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Summit House or do we have to use yours?

Summit House provides all food and beverage catering, and you can bring your own wine for a $35 corkage fee per 750 ml bottle. Unless your package includes them, you'll bring your own decorated wedding cake and favors. For photographers, DJs, florists and more, Summit House shares a referral list of outside vendors.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Summit House, and is there a minimum?

The Everything but the Ring package starts at $32,300, with service charges and taxes included.

How long do we get at Summit House, and when does the music have to stop?

What makes Summit House different from the other venues near it?

Summit House sits on one of the highest points in North Orange County, on 12 acres of Fullerton's Vista Park, with views of the San Gabriel, San Bernardino and Santa Ana mountains and the Pacific. The English country manor-style building has coffered ceilings, pewter chandeliers and bay windows, and every package is all-inclusive, down to a first anniversary dinner at Summit House. For couples who want it all handled, the Everything but the Ring package bundles photography, DJ, florals and a coordinator too.

Does Summit House work for a small wedding or an elopement, and what would that look like?

Yes. Summit House has a dedicated team for events under 60 guests, and its Everything but the Ring package is built for up to 85 guests on Fridays and Sundays, with additional guests at $241 each. Smaller celebrations still get the bridal suite, the views and the all-inclusive service.
