Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Chic and stylish but utterly welcoming, this beautiful Anaheim venue effortlessly blends the area's traditional Craftsman aesthetic with a uniquely modern vibe. Encompassing five dynamic spaces, and with the planning and coordination handled by the experts at 24 Carrots, the region's premiere catering and events company, you're guaranteed a spectacularly executed celebration.
  • The stunning Pavilion is an expansive outdoor oasis with a breezy elegance, highlighted by a vibrant greenery wall overflowing with plants, an exposed wood beam roof, stylish lighting fixtures, and open air sidewalls for plenty of fresh air. A smaller al fresco space, The Patio, boasts a cozy fireplace and another living wall studded with varieties of lush succulents.
  • At the heart of the venue, the Great Hall boasts beautiful original features like a bow-truss ceiling, an elevated stage with a century-old white oak backdrop, and whitewashed brick walls. Upstairs you'll find the Loft, a bright and beautiful bar area that provides a separate-yet-connected space for guests to gather, while the adjacent Hideaway is a plush space for wedding party prep.
