We chose Chapel of Orange for our ceremony-only package and had an amazing experience. The staff is incredibly organized, warm, and supportive, which made the planning process so easy as a bride. We met with Cheryl, who was clear, friendly, and communicative from the start, and we truly appreciated her guidance. Our officiant, Drue, proactively reached out to schedule a call and thoughtfully included the personal details we asked for during the ceremony. A special thank you to Melissa, our coordinator, who helped with decorations, communication, and ensured everything ran smoothly on the wedding day. The team also arranged a ceremony walkthrough the day before with our friends and family, which helped everyone feel prepared. We also appreciated having both a bridal suite and groom suite, which made getting ready and taking photos very convenient. The venue itself is beautiful, and we would highly recommend Chapel of Orange.

My review is long overdue, but I had to share my experience getting married at the Chapel of Orange. Both Cheryl and Melissa created a positive experience for us while planning our wedding. We were able to plan our wedding with them in less than 2 months. What could have been a stressful time turned out to be a smooth and seamless planning process. They took care of many of the details from the set up and decor to the day of wedding coordination. I felt lost while planning my wedding but they provided me with ideas and recommendations that helped me navigate the planning process. The Chapel, garden, bridal suite, and reception area create amazing backgrounds for photos. I truly feel like Cheryl and Melissa went above and beyond to make our wedding day feel special. If you are looking for an intimate and special location to get married the Chapel of Orange is the place for you. Thank you Cheryl and Melissa for everything! We will always be grateful for the amazing experience and memories made at the Chapel of Orange.

The Chapel of Orange was the beautiful and perfect wedding venue of my dreams. I didn't know what I was looking for when I started planning, I just knew I wanted a chapel. As a more alternative bride with more traditional values, it was very important to me - and Chapel of Orange provided me with the most beautiful back drop to pull off a perfect blend of gothic and elegant. Cheryl and Melissa made everything so easy, answered all and any questions so quickly, and made every cent worth it. I was able to plan a hassle free wedding with AMAZING vendors (Dizzy Daisy and Butter N Cream did our flowers and cake), in just 4 months. They had so many options, it felt just like us. The perfect start to what my happy marriage (:

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Chapel of Orange, and it was truly magical. From the moment we had our first meeting with Cheryl and Melissa, they made us feel welcomed and cared for. The venue itself is breathtaking--whether it's the lush gardens, elegant indoor chapel and reception hall. The grounds are stunning and immaculate! Cheryl, Melissa, food, flowers and every detail was exactly as we wanted. They were also incredibly organized and responsive throughout the planning process, making everything seamless. On the big day, they went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect--from the ceremony setup to the reception flow. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ambiance, the food, and the overall experience. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and heart, Chapel of Orange is the best not just in Orange County but all of California. Janet & Marcus Walley 9/14/25

Thank you so much Cheryl and Melissa! Our wedding day was truly a perfect day that us and our guests will never forget. Planning a wedding in under a year is no small task and the Chapel of Orange went above and beyond with their amazing vendors and made the whole process not only easy, but enjoyable. Everyone really brought our vision to life and I feel like there were pieces of us everywhere. The music was all artists and songs that we would listen to throughout our 7 year relationship and it gave an amazing feel for the day. The vendors were amazing at what they did and had phenomenal customer service. Everything ran so smooth Edgar and I really felt like we were in a fairytale. From the teaser photos we've received and our guests photos and videos you can see just how in love and happy we are. There is not a thing I would've changed from our big day and the town of Orange will always be a special place. I could never praise the Chapel of Orange enough and will always recommend this venue in the future! - Emily and Edgar Lopez

My dream wedding included walking down the aisle to the man that I loved. Found the dream man, just needed the dream place. My goal was to find a place that had character in itself. The Chapel of Orange was everything that I imagined. I visited a coupled more places, but the Chapel of Orange stayed in my heart. It was the right decision. The Chapel has a magical blend of classical charm and whimsical beauty that created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Melissa was amazing throughout the planning process, and she, Cheryl, and the entire team worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the day unforgettable for us and our guests. I may not be planning another wedding, but if you're looking for your dream venue, I highly recommend the Chapel of Orange. It truly is a place where my dream came true!

Cheryl and her team are FANTASTIC. My husband and I absolutely loved the whole process. We had amazing decorations, a gorgeous wedding that was little to no stress because the team was so on top of it. Well oiled machine. My husband and I thought we weren't going to have a lot of people that danced, that it would be a conservative wedding...but it was SO FUN. Lots of dancing, laughter, no stress during the day...it was all I could ask for in the wedding. I was worried about the wedding planning a little because we planned it in increments. It scared me because I didn't know if it was actually going to be done well. I wish I told myself that everything was going to be perfect and not to worry. Cause Cheryl and her team REALLY know what they're doing. Trust the process! I 1000% recommend going with her. The place is beautiful and I honestly look at our wedding pictures almost on a weekly basis because they're just so nice! The cost of the wedding is all very transparent too so I loved that :) Thank you Cheryl, Melissa, and your whole team for making our wedding so special!

My gratitude to Cheryl and her team is endless! Cheryl, the owner has the best personality and so much experience which made the whole process a joy. The venue is beyond charming. Our guests kept commenting how much they loved the quaint garden and beautifully decorated ballroom. The Chapel of Orange offers several packages that are flexible and at significantly lower prices than other wedding venues. The lower price does not mean lesser quality at all! Everything was exceptional. You can add more items to your package, however the basic package offers everything you would need. The entire staff at the Chapel are professional, kind and great to work with. From the start Cheryl made the whole process STRESS free. She is amazing!!! I thought I would be overwhelmed to choose colors and decorations. Not with Cheryl around. With her background in interior design and her endless creativity it was easy. She asked me my favorite color and within a half an hour we had the most beautiful color scheme, decor and cake design picked out. She has an entire storage room filled with so many great decoration styles and creative accents. Coordinating the rest of the event was effortless also. Cheryl answered all my emails promptly making me feel at ease with any questions. She sends reminders to let you know she needs head counts, food choices, payments and any other details. She has an executive discount at two hotels less than two miles from the Chapel which are both great places to stay for guests if needed. From the minute we arrived at the Chapel of Orange on the day of our event it felt so magical! Cheryl was there along with Melissa, her assistant who is also amazing. They both kept the event running so smoothly!! The timeline Cheryl provided ahead of time and suggestions she offered were beyond helpful! The chef prepared the most delicious appetizers and entrees. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how delicious the food was. We couldn't have been happier with the food and presentation. We had 82 people attend. The banquet room had plenty of room for our guests, the DJ, the bar, a candy bar and room for dancing. Cheryl had the Photo Booth set up in the garden. Throughout our reception guests took photos. Cheryl gave one photo to out guests and then placed another copy in a photo album which our guests wrote us messages next to their photos. The album was a parting gift from her along with a bottle of wine with a personalized label with our names and date of our wedding on it. What a thoughtful way for us to remember our special day. For our send off she had a bubble machine going with all our guests lined up along the path in the garden. It was such a nice surprise and a spectacular way to end our magical day!!! There were so many thoughtful touches throughout our event. We can't thank all of you enough for making our event so memorable and perfect in every way. You all are so talented at what you do! We more than highly recommend the Chapel of Orange!!! It is the best venue around!!

It's been a little over a week since my daughter got married at the Chapel of Orange. Our experience with Chapel of Orange was AMAZING! It truly is a one stop shop. The caterer Cheryl, the owner, uses is top notch. The food was SO good and they were also very accommodating with our guests dietary needs such as dairy free, gluten free, vegan and they were even able to coordinate and have a Kosher meal for one of our guests that required a Kosher meal! The cake my daughter ordered from the Los Alamitos bakery, one of the bakeries Cheryl uses, was beautiful and delicious! The florist, Dizzy Daisy Weddings, did a beautiful job with all the flower arrangements. The pianist, My Tran, was a wonderful piano player and the DJ was also great and played music in the style that my daughter and her fiance had requested. Melissa, the wedding coordinator, was just amazing all throughout the whole wedding and we didn't have to worry about anything! She was one step ahead the whole day and had even gathered and put all the things we had brought to be used for the wedding in one place for us to easily gather to take home! The whole place is just so beautiful...from the chapel, to the garden patio, to the reception room with a beautiful copper ceiling. The Chapel of Orange is truly the BEST!

We highly recommend this venue and working with Cheryl! We had the unique (and somewhat stressful) experience of our wedding being affected by the fires in LA and had a last minute change in venue 2-4 days before our wedding.. we contacted Cheryl about the Chapel of Orange and she was amazing, supportive and organized our wedding with 2 days notice - nothing short of a miracle!! Cheryl is a veteran in wedding coordinating - and this shows. From start to finish, working with her was incredibly efficient and organized. We had a 2 hour meeting 2 days before our date to go over logistics including our color/table schemes, decorations, and the ceremony/wedding timing. She gave thoughtful insights to how to decorate the venue and the chapel itself is beautifully restored and perfect for a small wedding like our's. On the day of, we got many compliments for Cheryl's team. Guests appreciated how she was great at directing everyone into different parts of the venue/staying on time with our schedule. We also loved the DJ that comes with the venue, as he did a great job reading the crowd. The pricing for our wedding was also transparent and very reasonable. This place is great value! Everything went smoothly and we cannot thank Cheryl and their team enough for all their hard work and dedication to planning our day. Thank you so much!! We loved working with you guys and highly recommend chapel of Orange for weddings. We think our wedding turned out even better than what we originally had planned.

Our wedding experience through the Chapel of Orange (thanks to Melissa & Cheryl) from our very first consult visit through to its conclusion was enjoyable, positively memorable, and most importantly - SO EASY!!! Initially, my wife and I didn't believe we would be able to locate a wedding venue to move forward with our vision for an intimate and whimsical wedding aesthetic. So much so that we were a hair trigger away from eloping. Thankfully, as a final measure, we decided to create a checklist of required items that a wedding venue had to have for us to consider moving forward with a wedding including but not limited to; 1) an organic set of barebones / overall aesthetic that would pair well with a playful and lighthearted whimsical evening themed wedding aesthetic that in no way resembled the typical cookie cutter wedding 2) efficiently organized with strong vendor relations and/or recommendations, and 3) cost effective in the context of a smaller guest list of about 70. From the thoughtfully salvaged bricks from a to-be torn down structure in Europe that made up the archways of the reception area to the beautiful garden area rich with lush plants flowers nestled cozily between the ceremony and reception areas, the Chapel of Orange had checked off every box we had without us having to compromise. The well oiled machine that was Melissa and Cheryl far fostered a positive wedding planning experience as they handled EVERYTHING in such an unflappable manner. In addition to coordinating and scheduling design appointments, Melissa coordinated the vendors running their part correctly from the florist, to the videographer, to the Photo Booth, to the DJ, to the caterer, to the cake designer, and all the way down the list to the highly talented photographer Ashley Paige. Melissa also gave us a month by month wedding checklist to follow along to at the very start which made the ongoing planning process easy to follow while also simultaneously reducing any wedding related anxiety stemming from the feeling that we had forgotten some important detail along the way. Melissa's incredibly consistent and reliable communication as well as clear direction cut any unnecessary internal and external noise that went into the wedding process. Dates for big decisions such as our food tasting, table design, and final rehearsal were planned well in advance, allowing us to do nothing more than be present and direct the final decisions. Additionally, Melissa facilitated for the florist consult date and the DJ online phone meeting to verify lighting and song choices. The day of rehearsal, we dropped off all our supplemental DIY designs for our themed wedding and Melissa handled the rest of set-up. The day of the wedding was smooth like butter; Melissa had... 1) our parking spaces reserved with bright orange cones for us as well members of the wedding party, 2) boutonnieres ready and pinned members of the wedding party as they arrived 3) both the groom and bride's prep rooms staged and ready to go, 4) and all vendors on standby and ready for instruction. I have no doubt that Melissa handled so many more fires behind the scenes as my wife and I didn't have a single hiccup or moment where we had to step away to address a concern. It was marvelous, and the best day of our lives. TLDR: The Chapel of Orange runs like a well cared for and harmonious machine headed by Melissa and Cheryl. At each step of the way, they took the feedback we had the day of our wedding, executed the upper limit of potential we had for our whimsical garden wedding. read more

From start to finish, everything felt so intentional, intimate, and beautifully executed--it was exactly what we had envisioned, and even better. We truly cannot recommend this venue enough. The space itself is so intimate and special, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our day. Every detail came together seamlessly, and it meant so much to see our vision fully brought to life. From the setup, to the flow of the evening, to how comfortable and taken care of our guests felt--it was all perfect. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful everything was, how delicious the food tasted, and how smoothly the night went, which is a true reflection of Cheryl and her team. We are especially grateful for how accommodating and patient Cheryl was throughout the entire process. No matter how many questions or requests we had, she always made us feel heard and supported, and that made all the difference during such an important time in our lives. We will cherish these memories forever--especially the bubble send-off!! read more

Our daughter just had her wedding and reception here and it was PERFECT. I can't say enough about the staff at this facility. They walked her through the entire process and not one thing went wrong. The attention to detail was five stars. All the staff at the event were so friendly and gracious and helpful. I am forever grateful for the chapel of Orange. The DJ was so much fun and people danced the entire night, even the grooms 91 year old grandmother danced. The bartender was awesome and friendly. Bring cash to tip the bartender! This facility is a well oiled machine and a one stop shop. No need to try and figure things out yourself when you can have an expert walk you through each and every step, especially in todays busy world. The price was worth every single penny. read more

Cheryl and Melissa were fantastic and made our wedding so special! The venue is beautiful and just what we wanted for both ceremony and reception. We had about 60 people attend, and this venue was the perfect size! Overall, the inclusiveness of the wedding packages made planning smooth while still allowing for flexibility and adding our unique touches. Vendors included in the package were high quality and responsive to our requests. As mentioned, Cheryl and Melissa were communicative and supportive through this whole process. We definitely recommend the Chapel of Orange! read more

We highly recommend this venue and working with Cheryl! We had the unique (and somewhat stressful) experience of our wedding being affected by the fires in LA and had a last minute change in venue 2-4 days before our wedding.. we contacted Cheryl about the Chapel of Orange and she was amazing, supportive and organized our wedding with 2 days notice - nothing short of a miracle!! Cheryl is a veteran in wedding coordinating - and this shows. From start to finish, working with her was incredibly efficient and organized. We had a 2 hour meeting 2 days before our date to go over logistics including our color/table schemes, decorations, and the ceremony/wedding timing. She gave thoughtful insights to how to decorate the venue and the chapel itself is beautifully restored and perfect for a small wedding like our's. On the day of, we got many compliments for Cheryl's team. Guests appreciated how she was great at directing everyone into different parts of the venue/staying on time with our schedule. We also loved the DJ that comes with the venue, as he did a great job reading the crowd. The pricing for our wedding was also transparent and very reasonable. This place is great value! Everything went smoothly and we cannot thank Cheryl and their team enough for all their hard work and dedication to planning our day. Thank you so much!! We loved working with you guys and highly recommend chapel of Orange for weddings. We think our wedding turned out even better than what we originally had planned. read more

When my now husband and I began our wedding planning, we immediately knew that we had to do something different. We were faced with the challenge of finding a venue and vendors who could think outside of the typical wedding box in order to help execute our vision. The minute we walked into the Chapel of Orange and met Cheryl and Melissa, we knew we found our wedding "home". Not only were we provided with top notch vendors, but ones who appreciated the creativity we challenged them with. Melissa and Cheryl guided us through every step of the way and offered their expertise tailored towards our vision. Every time I had a question, Cheryl was quick in responding in the most kind and professional way. When the day came, I was astounded to experience the friendliest folks helping to ensure that everything and everyone was where it/they should be and the entire event coasted along seamlessly. From the custom wedding design and meal tasting, through the ceremony and reception, all the way to our sendoff, we enjoyed the entire process stress-free. Our guests raved about the venue and staff -- one guest who needed ice to help an injury that occurred several weeks before our wedding was supplied with ice and was able to stay for the entire event. That extra care speaks volumes to the amazing staff at the Chapel of Orange! We will never forget our wedding day and how beautifully everything came together. Huge thanks to Cheryl, Melissa, and all of the top notch vendors working behind the scenes! L & W read more

This is one of the cutest wedding facilities I've been in. The historic nature of the church brings a unique feeling to the service. The garden was perfect for a group of 50 giving us an intimate setting. Important when you have a lot of people who don't know each other. It expands to accomodate a larger group which is also helpful. But it's so nice to have the wedding and reception just steps apart. We had the Mexican appetizers which were yummy. But as the best man, I didn't have a lot of time to eat. Our wedding planner Melissa was wonderful. She kept us right on schedule and made sure the ceremony went off without a hitch. Seriously, nothing went wrong. I've been in 4 weddings and something always goes wrong. The only downside I can think of is the parking. There's plenty of parking down the street but most of the nearby parking is permit only. Be sure your guests know that. read more

I don't know where to start this review because there are so many amazing things I can say about this venue ! Cheryl(the owner) thank you so much for making our wedding so easy and beautiful. Your kindness and sincerity are beyond valued ! I used her officiant , he was so nice , funny and professional, eased us through the ceremony! Her assistant was so great , she walked me through everything , fixed my dress walking down the aisle, etc. We had chosen the minimony package, I'm so glad we did ! Cheryl didn't rush us and everything fit in the time frame that we had arranged The chapel was beautiful , had cold air conditioning we got married at the end of June on a day it was 93 degrees so that was super important. Perfect parking situations,indoor decor was very nice , everything was clean and neat I definitely recommend this chapel to anyone ! I'm so happy we got married there , if we can redo that day we would still keep everything the same (: Cheryl pours a lot of love and time into her chapel she gave off a perfect impression that each wedding means something to her it's not like other venues where it's about money and rushing you out of their place. Thank you so much for making our wedding so special! read more

Unfortunately due to our guest count it wasn't a fit BUT when COVID hit we had to cancel our big wedding and I was scrambling to find a plan B. I emailed Cheryl and asked if by any chance we would still get married on our desired date at the Chapel of Orange and she was able to get us in and make our day perfect! She went above and beyond to make our day special and beautiful. The decor of the building itself is so special and will give your wedding photos the perfect backdrop.

The venue is perfect, and no detail is left undone. The attention that was given made it possible for every guest, every person of the wedding party, and most importantly the Bride and Groom to have no worries and completely enjoy themselves. The ceremony was exquisite, the cocktail hour a perfect warm up for an amazing reception and tasty food. Not to mention a fully staffed and functional bar!

When I was looking for a Church to shoot a film scene in, I asked a producer I work with who had experience in booking churches where he would recommend and he nearly interrupted me to say, "Go nowhere else except the Chapel of Orange." This gave me great confidence that this would be the right choice. Even so, my producing team was already following up on leads with several other locations. But when I began speaking with Cheryl, the owner of the Chapel, and saw pictures it became immediately clear that this location was the right answer. Cheryl and the location accommodated our production needs and crew with excellent quality of service. We were treated to excellent facilities, freedom to work without interruption, and if we needed anything it was just a phone call away. I will be returning to this location and I will be referring it to anyone looking for a chapel to shoot a film in or have an event at. read more

Thank you Cheryl for making all my dreams come true! Our wedding day turned out even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. For any bride and groom out there looking, look no further. The Chapel of Orange is an amazing and vintage venue. My husband and I had our ceremony and reception here. and chose the Fairytale Package. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful it all was, and how much fun they all had. Cheryl, is a wealth of knowledge and has so many resources to help you out along the way, down to where to get my dress fitted. Her staff was very helpful and courteous. The chapel and reception area are very well kept, and it is apparent that Cheryl puts her heart and soul in to every wedding that she plans. Again, thank you for such a beautiful and memorable day! There isn't one thing I would have changed. Still dreaming about it, wishing it didn't go by so fast! read more

We got married there two weeks ago. Such a beautiful and gorgeous place. It is so well kept and every picture you will take is gorgeous! They had a wonderful elopement package that was very reasonable (it's shown on the website). The venue is so gorgeous and I'm certain our pictures and video turned out well. We did purchase some extras from the elopement package and I can tell you it was all worth it! Cheryl really knows how to make your day go so super smooth. Seriously, an expert! I have officially called her my "Fairy Godmother" and she was just magical on our day! She organized the vendors, was in charge of the time of things, she set up my cake table and champagne so beautifully. She also was making me laugh right before the ceremony, which really helped my nerves. There were just so many touches she made sure was done on my day. I'm still floating on my wedding cloud. Thank you Cheryl. It was an incredible day! I will add more pictures soon!! read more

Save yourself decision-making and book with Chapel of Orange. OR, spend days and hours looking for the right venue or what you think is the right venue... You have too many things to deal with and fret over when arranging your wedding (especially if you're planning it from out of town, like I did). There wasn't one time that Cheryl didn't respond, understand what I was trying to ask or have a resolution for what I didn't even know I needed! Any vendor she suggests is as solid and dependable is she is. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! Cheryl is fast-paced, efficient and well-versed in what she does!! She was a total comfort each time I reached out. The Chapel is beautiful and well-maintained and was perfect for the rehearsal and the Big Day! Booking with the Chapel/Cheryl allowed me to focus on other aspects of the wedding - despite the busy schedule, Cheryl always greeted me by name and knew exactly where I was in the process. That's tough to find these days. I also trusted her referral for music and photography (Ensemble Events) and could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend! read more

I wanted to express my gratitude to Cheryl and Melissa for planning and making our wedding so perfect. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and amazing place to have our special day (5/27/2023). When my husband and I began our wedding venue search, we thought it was going to be stressful and expensive. However, we happened upon Chapel of Orange, and they offer an array of wedding packages. We wanted a small ceremony, just under 40 guests. Most other venues have a 50 to 100 guest minimum, but Chapel of Orange had an option for 40 guests, which was just what we needed! Plus, you get to customize your package with what you want. For us, we chose to add on a photographer, video, florals, appetizers, and banquet room. This made the wedding planning process stress free! The package we chose also included the wedding cake and soft drinks. Also, they have very nice decor they use for the tables in the banquet room and the wedding favors table (the only thing my husband and I purchased for our decorations were the pew flowers and flowers for the arch). Melissa did a great job at setting up all the decor! Thank you so much Cheryl and Melissa for making our wedding amazing!! read more

History

Established in 2015.

The Chapel of Orange, formerly Chapman Chapel, was purchased by its current owners in January 2015 and was extensively remodeled shortly thereafter. The newly renovated property was reopened in December 2015 and is by all accounts a truly stunning little gem, offering all inclusive packages that can't be beat! Built in 1909 by renowned architect, Philip Frohman, the chapel is #620 on the National Historical Registry.

Meet the Business Owner: Cheryl G.

My husband will tell you that my passion has always been entertaining, whether doing over the top parties or weddings, so it only made sense that my husband Rich and I would get into the wedding venue business. We didn't want just any wedding venue, but a location that could truly make our clients' fairytale wedding dreams come true. We happened upon the Chapman Chapel in the heart of old town Orange... And while it was badly in need of many repairs and upgrades, Rich and I agreed it was special. Since acquiring the chapel we have changed the name from Chapman Chapel to the Chapel of Orange and have set to work restoring the historical structure to its glory days. We offer all inclusive packages for brides of all budgets and are truly proud that our hard work has paid off as you'll see by all of our hard earned, amazing reviews!

Forever & Always Weddings and Events

(45 reviews)

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

A Good Affair Wedding and Event Production

(129 reviews)

Where do I begin... Almost 10 years ago, my mother and I…read morehad taken a girls trip to the Montage- laguna beach. While there, we stumbled into the ball room where we stood in awe at what was at the time, one of the most beautiful wedding designs I had ever seen. My mother and I promptly asked the first person we saw who was designing this wedding and got a card for a "Natalie Good". I pocketed the card and thought- one day! Fast forward 5 years I had met Matt(my now husband) and we were moving into together. I was cleaning my room at my parents house and came across Natalie's card and put it in my purse. 3 months later, Matt proposed on a Saturday and the following Monday I called Natalie and booked her. First and foremost, Natalie is an angel on this planet. Wedding planning is so stressful and I never had to worry about a single thing, she went above and beyond to make sure I was not stressed and happy. She is more than just our wedding planner and over the 3 years we planned my wedding (thanks covid...), she became my friend and someone who I adore Second, when going down this road, I think trusting your planner/wedding team is extremely important to make sure the process is seamless and smooth. I can tell you that without a doubt, I trust Natalie and her team implicitly! I trusted them so much that I let them run free on the design for my wedding and I could not have been happier! Everything was perfect and so gorgeous- from the table design to the flowers, everything was flawless and it was so amazing to watch her vision come to life. It's been 3 months and I am still getting calls and compliments from all of our guests and even friends of guests who weren't there but saw pictures. She is insanely talented and has an unbelievable list of vendors that are just as talented. We even had a silent disco at our wedding and it was a hit! Third, her team is awesome. The women who helped me specifically- Ellie, Kennedy, and Maddy- where next level professional and so helpful. There were nights where I would be up at midnight and text Ellie and she would always answer and talk me down. Kennedy and Maddy were running around on wedding day making sure I was hydrated and fed and happy. Everything about A Good Affair is top notch and I could not be more grateful or fortunate to have had them design, plan and make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a team to take your wedding to the next level and who will be there every step of the way to make your dreams come true!

This review is based on my communication with this company. I didn't hire them so I can not say if…read morethey provide great service for your party. What I can say is, they don't really go straight to the point and communicate back n forth in email when you had requested 3 times to call you to talk it out. I mean, if off the bat you're having a hard time conveying your plans, pricing with me then its not worth my time. They reply back quick, which I appreciate but them going around in circles is annoying. Also, if you're looking for budget, this is NOT the place for budget. She knew my budget, yet continued to ask questions through email. Finally, she gives me the quote of $10-$15k for a wedding next year (saying pricing will go up next year) and if its something i am still interested in. Wow, knowing where my budget is, which was less than $3k, and you know your asking is triple that, is so unprofessional. This is not accommodating to new clients or at all helpful. If you plan to have a wedding with a $10-$15k budget in mind then this might be your type of vendor but if you're asking for really minimal details for $3k, and they don't just say "sorry our services are over your budget" then they don't care or respect your needs. These days, customer service should be catered to what you can provide for the client. If you can't make it work, then just simply let the client know. Do not waste their time with back n forth email. Some of us don't understand what you're saying in email and a clearer communication shows you care enough to explain it.

From the start she was organized, responsive, and just really on top of everything. Wedding planning can get overwhelming fast, but she always made us feel like things were under control. The day of the wedding she handled so much behind the scenes and kept everything moving smoothly without making anything feel rushed. You can tell she really cares about what she does and wants the day to go well for you. Having her there made a huge difference. The venue itself is beautiful. Driving in through the vine-covered entrance and seeing the Victorian house and gardens immediately sets the tone. It already has so much character that you don't need a ton of extra decor to make it look great, which our photographer loved because there were so many photo spots around the property. Everything on the venue flows really well too. Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all close together so guests never felt like they had to wander around trying to figure out where to go next. The bridal and groom suites were also really nice and gave us a place to relax and get ready before everything started. The staff were professional, organized, and kept everything moving smoothly throughout the day which helped take a lot of pressure off us. We also liked that the venue allowed some flexibility with vendors and personalization so the wedding still felt unique to us. By the end of the night our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. Overall it was an amazing experience and we're really glad we chose The Estate.

The entire planning process felt so easy and stress-free -- from the meal tasting, linen appointments, and final walkthroughs all the way to the wedding day itself.

Jovany, Mimi, and Yanel were incredibly attentive from the very beginning, always answering our questions and making sure we were taken care of. On the wedding day, Yanel truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She handled any little hiccups so quickly and checked in on us throughout the night to see if we needed anything. Our wedding turned out absolutely perfect, and our guests (and us!) still can't stop talking about how GOOD the food was. We're so grateful to the entire team for making our day feel so special and seamless!

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

Heather saw us 2x before the big day: final venue walk through and our rehearsal day. She was super organized during those 2 days and helped guide us with our venue and corral our entire wedding party during the rehearsal. Heather also provided us with a day-of timeline, even for the hours she was not physically at the venue. On the wedding day, she arrived with Annaleise (team member) around 3pm and immediately got to work with the decor set up before our 6pm ceremony. All we had to do was hand over our room key and off they went! To be honest, we were so busy that day that if we didn't have Heather helping us out, I'm not sure how we could've accomplished what we needed to do. No amount of uncles and aunties could've done what WTW did in the same amount of time hah. Plus we had a cocktail hour "flip" during our ceremony, so having WTW help us during that time was crucial. At the end of the night, all our items were returned to vendors or packed away in the boxes we brought them in and stored in our room. During the month of, WTW used Google's suite to keep everything organized and documented, which I found very helpful since its a program that I am familiar with (vs learning a new program). And Heather also provides some rentals if you want to add more to your decor, which was also VERY helpful when we needed more candles and stands. Heather is professional, calm, and assertive. She knows what needs to be done to help make your day run smoothly and is a team player with the vendors and venue. For reference, our wedding was in Riverside, a church ceremony, 8 people in the wedding party, 120 guests, ~10 vendors, plated meals, and a hotel venue reception. We had a couple funky additions in the night which made the reception feel nontraditional, but Heather handled them like it was normal. We haven't received official pictures yet, but when we do, I hope to update this review so any new potential clients can see her magic. Thanks again!!

When I was first starting to look for a wedding venue I read tons of reviews to get an idea of what people liked the most and disliked so I was able to determine what was the best fit for me. Since some people don't like to read too much detail, here is my review of the Chapel of Orange for them (if you're like me and want more details, please keep reading down). The Chapel of Orange was an amazing venue to get married at! It has a tiny bit of vintage with some old town charm found in the middle of large city. From the moment I stepped foot into the chapel & met with Alyssa, I knew this was the place. I can't lie, the all-inclusive portion sealed the deal for me. Every vendor was amazing & if I had to do it all over again & had to pick each vendor individually I would choose them without hesitation! Do yourself a favor & at least schedule an appointment to see what they offer; you won't be disappointed! For those of you (mostly the brides-to-be), here is a little more detail about the Chapel of Orange that I hope will help. From start to finish, my wedding coordinator, Alyssa, fabulous! From the beginning, she was there to answer any & all of my questions and in detail. I wasn't just given quick answers because she was busy. She would take the time to explain things to me so I could envision all the things I wanted for my wedding. If there were questions that I had in regards to the vendors, she would contact them to get the answers. Towards the end when all the details were getting finalized, she was there through the whole process making sure everything was the way I wanted it. I know I couldn't have gotten through the wedding planning process without her. Alyssa is truly amazing! When I first started to planning, Alyssa sent me over samples from Ashley Paige Photography as she would be our photographer as part of the package. I fell in love with her work from the moment I saw it & I knew it was another reason I needed to book this place. I couldn't imagine getting pictures shot by anyone else. One of the things that impressed me the most was I had given Ashley a list of my "must shoot" photos. She had that list & made sure every one of them was taken before she left. The pictures turned out amazing & I got way more than I ever expected. I can't thank Ashley enough for all the beautiful photographic memories I'll have of my wedding! Also, as part of the package, I used the Chapel of Orange's cake & flower vendor. Great Dane Bakery was amazing! I had this vision of having a large cake with intricate flower details and when I showed them the picture of what I wanted, they knew exactly how to make it and it turned out better than the picture! Of course, the flavor is important too and I had at least 10-15 people tell me that was the best cake they've ever had. I secretly can't wait till our 1-year anniversary to get another small cake from them. Thy, with Oceanic Flowers, did my bouquet, bridal party bouquets & boutonnieres. When I met with her to tell her some of the things I liked and was interested in, she wrote it all down and brought it to life. She knew I really wanted peonies but they weren't in season so she suggested vintage roses and it turned out gorgeous! She did an incredible job! Chris Williams was our DJ and he was great! He made sure to play the songs I requested & not play the songs I didn't want. Even when we had to change a few things around, he was able to adapt and get the changes done without no one noticing. My guests had a great time dancing and we had a few guests comment on how great the music sounded during the ceremony and cocktail hour that he supplied. We can't forget the food! No Leftovers Catering was simply FANTASTIC! One thing that I wanted for my wedding a was sit down, plate served meal for my guests. I loved that this venue does that and includes it in the package (we found other venues that would charge us to have our meals served to our guests). Chef Kaya has an extensive menu for you to choose from. Don't worry if there are a couple that don't catch your eye because he has plenty more to choose from. Everyone at our wedding raved at how good the food was (including us!) - by far, everyone's favorite was the flank steak and the grilled shrimp appetizer! I know this may be more information than some wanted but I felt like when making this crucial decision in your wedding planning, you need all the information you can get. Besides the vendors, who again, I can't say enough good things about, Cheryl, the owner and Alyssa, her assistant, help to make my wedding a dream come true. I can't remember one email or text from Alyssa that she didn't respond to in less than 24 hours (even if it was a simple yes or no question or a frantic, I don't know what the heck I'm doing, help me question). And, every request that I asked for, Cheryl made happen, never turned me down. Thank you to everyone at the Chapel of Orange for a perfect wedding! read more

We had our wedding here on April 24, 2016. There is so much to say about our wedding day at the Chapel of Orange! First of all, you can not go wrong with the location. Historic Orange neighborhood in a historic chapel? Yes, please! The Chapel and grounds are absolutely beautiful and well-kept. The owners have managed to maintain the historical integrity of the building while still providing modern amenities. What makes this venue great, however, is the people! The coordinator we worked with, Alyssa, was absolutely wonderful. I was a very busy bride, but she was always patient and on top of everything. I had a lot going on and I told everyone that the only reason I was able to plan a wedding was because of how helpful the venue is. I really like that everything is packaged with the venue. You do not have to waste your time wrangling in good vendors, as all the vendors provided to us were already top rated. Alyssa made sure everything was coordinated. I felt like all I had to do was show up and make decisions about what we wanted. The planning process was extremely enjoyable, and the wedding day even better! We chose to decorate the reception hall ourselves (we had a specific vision for the centerpieces in mind), but they do offer extra coordinating services for a reasonable price if you do not have the helping hands we did. Everything from the vendors arrived on time and was perfect, down to the details, and when it comes to your wedding day you will find that it is the details that make your nervous. Each vendor, the chef, florist, cake, photographer, and DJ were all VERY easy to work with and communicated well. I can not express what a good job our photographer did as well. We had two shooters, all included in the package. When I tell people about my wedding planning experience I have nothing but good things to say and many looked shocked. I am so happy that I have good memories of not just the wedding day itself, but the entire experience. read more

I don't know where to start, because I am still speechless of how amazing and beautiful our wedding turned out. I can't say enough positive things about Chapel of Orange and Cheryl. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding would be so much work and cost a fortune, and our wedding ended up completely opposite of that. The price was unbeatable, and everything was included. I have several other friends that signed up for package-type weddings, but had to add on all these extra things, which we didn't have to. There was enough of everything from flowers, to cake, to wedding invitations and more. The planning part was a breeze as Cheryl has hosted hundreds of weddings in the past and had everything down to a tee. We received emails of everything that we needed to do and people to contact. Don't get me wrong, there was so much that was already planned, like food and drinks, but since everyone is different, choices such as wedding cake flavor, and color of flowers had to be done in person by us. The email stated everything: for example, time when we needed to contact the flower company, and all the details. All we had to do was set reminders on our phones. The wedding day itself flowed so smooth. The vendors, such as photographer and the additional videographer showed up exactly on time and were extremely talented and professional. We decided to pay extra to have off-site at-home video and photos taken. We arrived at the Chapel slightly after the timeline, but the whole staff adapted perfectly. Everything was so well coordinated, and all the staff were great. The DJ kept the party going, Cheryl had everything in full control, and the chefs/servers blew everyone's mind away with the food. My husband still talks about the chicken and wants me to "figure out how to cook it" To sum up the wedding, Darren's 92-year-old grumpy grandpa said that it was the best wedding he has ever been to. read more

After months of searching for a place to hold our ceremony within our budget in L.A. county, we had to expand our search criteria in nearby counties. Luckily, looking at the site of Chapel of Orange, we fell in love with its adorable architectural design & garden. The venue director, Cheryl, was professional, one of the nicest people we've met, and she made sure everything was on queue for our wedding day! She made sure that our wedding was beautiful and that everything went smoothly. During the times of the coronavirus, they did take the temperature of the guests that came in the chapel and provide hand sanitizer, to adhere to the governor's orders and to keep everyone safe. Our guests loved the church. Our photographer that was recommended by Cheryl was able to stream the wedding for those that couldn't come physically. There are different packages that you can choose from, we chose the ceremony only package. This includes a one-hour rehearsal, 1-2 days prior to your wedding, two-hour time frame at the venue (where the first hour is to have the bride & groom get ready and get their photos taken), licensed officiant, day-of-ceremony coordinator, and music on the chapel sound system. Of course, you can add more things with an additional cost that is, so we kept it simple and it was still beautiful. My husband and I added a nerdy touch to our wedding ceremony through our songs that we chose. The songs that we chose for them to be played for our wedding party was the Jurassic Park theme by the Piano guys, now the bride going down the aisle was A thousand year by the piano guys, and when the groom & bride exited we played the throne room and end title Star Wars by John Williams. We love to thank Cheryl for giving us the opportunity to have our wedding ceremony at the church during these uncertain times. read more

We are delighted to share our wonderful experience at the Chapel of Orange, where my husband and I celebrated our dream wedding. Cheryl, the owner, guided us with warmth and professionalism throughout the planning process, ensuring our happiness. Melissa, the Assistant Venue Director, was the driving force behind the execution of our vision. Her meticulous planning and attention to detail created an enchanting atmosphere that left our guests in awe. The venue itself is a gem, and our guests couldn't stop raving about its beauty. The setting was enchanting, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The attention to detail in the decor was impeccable, and it truly reflected the love and care that went into crafting our dream wedding. Also, the amazing service from the servers earned us so many compliments! They were attentive, friendly, and ensured that every guest felt well taken care of. We received numerous compliments on the service. Another standout was Melissa and her tremendous assistance. She proved to be incredibly helpful throughout our wedding day. For instance, when my bustle broke, she promptly sprang into action, fixing it seamlessly! Additionally, my bouquet was unexpectedly wet, and she graciously dried it off before I walked down the aisle. Melissa not only calmed my nerves but truly shone as a superstar that day. Her support was immeasurable, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We are deeply grateful for her readiness to help at every turn. On our wedding day, we felt like royalty, thanks to the commitment to excellence from the Chapel of Orange team. Choosing Chapel of Orange was the best decision we made, and we're grateful to Cheryl, Melissa, and the entire team for making our wedding an absolute dream. read more

My wedding at the Chapel of Orange was a dream come true. I didn't know that such a place could exist: the perfect mix of history (the quaint, elegant Chapel) and beauty (stained glass windows and decor options all provided and set up by Cheryl and her excellent team) with nature (garden with plenty of greenery, flowers, and shade) and modern amenities (wonderful AC for our hot July wedding and spacious bathrooms). My husband and I stumbled upon this gem of a place during an evening stroll, just one week after our engagement. We got married exactly 6 months later. These 6 months of planning were the least stressful part of my wedding because Cheryl not only assured me about her guidance from the beginning but also followed through with guiding me through every to-do item. When you decide to have your wedding at Chapel of Orange, you have made a wise decision because Cheryl cares about details you didn't even think of, as if it is her own wedding! She is so trustworthy, and I wish I could get married to my husband again at Chapel of Orange. She and her team organized the perfect menu-tasting date night for me and husband. Cheryl also organized and led our wedding rehearsal flawlessly so that all family members felt comfortable and prepared for the ceremony. I was preparing to facilitate the rehearsal but was so relieved when Cheryl came and led the rehearsal with confidence and care, putting me at such ease. I thank God for guiding me and my husband to find not only the Chapel of Orange but also Cheryl and her team from her assistants to the chef, her DJ and MC. read more

Oh my gosh where do I even start? First and foremost, book your event here. Trust me- there is no other place that will even come close to offering what you get at the Chapel of Orange! Everything was absolutely perfect- the food, the photographer, the videographer, the flowers, the cake, the DJ.... I genuinely can't think of any area that we would have changed or improved in the slightest! The owner Cheryl is genuine in her desire to ensure each couple has their dream wedding and it truly shows with just how flexible and easy everyone is to work with! We had the distinct pleasure of working with Alyssa who could straight up give Wonder Woman a run for her money- she made our wedding planning experience the experience everyone dreams of having. I even joked at one point that I was stressed out because I wasn't stressed out enough! Ultimately, we found the wedding planning process to be fun, relaxing, and enjoyable and when the big day came, we were able to enjoy the moment because we knew our wedding was in the hands of the best people in the business. I say this as someone who actually works in planning events, meetings, and conferences- I would be proud to refer my clients to work with Cheryl, Alyssa, and their team- they exemplify the very best of the wedding industry and I promise you they will give you the perfect wedding to start your happily ever after! read more

We got married at the Chapel of Orange in March 2017. We could not be happier with the entire experience! From day one, Alyssa and Cheryl were so friendly and helpful! We highly recommend adding on the full coordination because Alyssa made everything so fun and easy (and it wasn't that expensive either)! We got to plan our dream wedding without doing any of the hard work or stressing about any of the small details. Alyssa was up front about everything and even helped with advice for things not related to the venue. She quickly answered every one of my emails or texts. The vendors were all professional and worked together so well. The whole day went perfectly without any hiccups! All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had! Our wedding was more amazing than either of us thought possible. Alyssa, Cheryl, and all of the vendors went out of their way to make sure everything was exactly how we liked it to create the most personalized, magical day for us. Their hard work and caring attitudes truly paid off!!! The price was also really great for everything that was included! We definitely recommend the chapel for any couple wanting a beautiful, stress-free wedding day that their guests will love and remember. read more

One word: recommended. We got married on 12/12/2015. When did we get engaged? 11/08/2015! I think the tight schedule says itself why this place is special and how well the owner Cheryl was able to provide a great service. After we decided to have the wedding directly after we engaged, Cheryl was one of the people we approached online regarding wedding inquiries. She was extremely prompt on answering our questions via emails, phone calls. She also provided different customizable package options for us to choose from. She was able to provide/refer wedding vendors for photography, catering, cake, flower, etc. This would save you a lot of trouble, especially if you are doing a quick one. On the big day, she was onsite all the time, handling any crisis or fulfilling any last-minute requests ( have to be reasonable of course). Besides, she is a really nice person to talk with and all her staff are supportive as well. Our wedding wouldn't have been possible ( not to mention enjoyable) without the help from Cheryl and her staff. We highly recommend her and this place. read more

My daughter's beautiful wedding at The Chapel of Orange would have never happened had it not been for the amazing efforts of Cheryl Roberts Gale, wedding director and owner of the chapel. Due to our Groom being in the US Marine Corp, we only had two weeks to make it happen. Luckily, Cheryl had a cancellation, and she was able to take us under her wing. Not only did Cheryl and her wonderful assistant Melissa pull it all together in that timeframe, but they also made it the most beautiful affair. The photographers, the caterers, the florist and the wedding cake bakery were all organized for us. All we had to do is to choose what we wanted. It was so wonderful to be able to focus 100% on my daughter and her groom while Cheryls team made it all work. We loved the historic chapel and the lovely garden nestled just steps outside its door. The dining hall has a wonderful rustic elegance. The Chapel of Orange has my highest recommendation. read more

I can't praise this chapel and Cheryl highly enough! My husband and I decided to travel to California to have our wedding and honeymoon all in one, so we chose an elopement ceremony for just the two of us. Even though we didn't have a traditional wedding, Cheryl and her vendors went way above and beyond to help us make our special day absolutely perfect. They had every detail covered that I can imagine and more, and made sure to accommodate all of our requests and questions. Our wedding felt like a true fairy tale and the photographer and videographer did an exceptional job capturing everything for us. We had a reception once we returned home and all of our guests raved about how beautiful the chapel is and the quality of the photography. I would definitely recommend this chapel to any brides looking to get married in this area of CA. Thank you for taking such great care of us and making our day so easy and special! read more

I recently completed my graduate degree and planned to marry another PhD student. I had a pretty tight budget but wanted to pull off something simple and elegant without going into debt. I'm so glad I met Cheryl and found the Chapel of Orange. It coincided perfectly with graduation and commencement events. And I cannot say enough about Cheryl. She went beyond the call of duty to make everything as perfect as it could be. She took all the stress out of the planning. She gave timely advice and support and even friendship. If this were the sort of thing one does over and over again - I would surely give her my repeat business. I cannot speak highly enough about her and the service she provides. Worth every penny. read more

We had our personal intimate wedding here last Sunday, April 15, and it was our dream come true. The Chapel is beautiful, and the courtyard is a stunning background for the wedding photos. We would like to thank all the great people who made this happen. Cheryl, Jon and Alyssa did their best to make our wedding day unforgettable. We really appreciate the flexibility and attention to detail from Cheryl who arranged everything perfectly and phoned us in the morning which made us feel so welcome, and from Jon who had the patience to answer all our questions the days before. Without your hard work behind the scenes our special day would not have been so perfect. Thank you very much and best wishes, Elena and Kris read more

My wife & I recently got married at the chapel of orange. All we can say is WOW! What an amazing venue. Cheryl the owner has lovingly recently restored the chapel & banquet room and it looks amazing! Antique wood floors throughout, not one of our guests failed to complement us on our choice of wedding venue! From start to finish our wedding planning couldn't have gone any smoother. Cheryl was always available to help us make decisions regarding our wedding choices, and nothing was too much trouble for her! We genuinely felt in good hands given how stressful wedding planning can be. Thank you for everyone at the Chapel or Orange We will certainly be recommending you at each & every opportunity. read more

My husband and I just got married 02/25/2018 at the Chapel of Orange and we could not have dreamed of a better wedding! Alyssa and everyone there was absolutely amazing! They made sure our special day ran flawlessly and stress free. We chose their Ultimate Fairytale package and I highly recommend it!! Everything was included, which made planning a breeze. The venue is unique and charming unlike anything else we looked at. It really was the perfect setting for our special day. If you want a wedding that is easy to plan, beautiful, relatively inexpensive, and different then just a hotel ballroom The Chapel of Orange is the place for you. read more

The Chapel of Orange is a historical landmark that captures the elegance of gothic style cathedrals in an intimate atmosphere. Cheryl was absolutely lovely, as were each of the professionals who performed our various services. As the bride, I was completely relaxed and had a stress-free and special wedding ceremony. We all felt welcomed and at home before, during, and after the ceremony. I would not have changed one second of that day and each of the guests complemented the beautiful grounds, quaint chapel, and wonderful people. Thank you Cheryl, for making our day grand beyond our expectations! read more

Chapel of Orange is a beautiful venue... not too big not too small but perfect and tucked in the heart of Old Town Orange. Food was delicious, especially the grilled cheese panini and tomato soup (yum yum) and the staff was very friendly and attentive... Beckett and Jennifer are rockstars!!!! Made me and my wife feel warm and welcome, and made great conversation throughout the entire night. Thank you both for making the night so memorable. Beautiful wedding, beautiful location, and wonderful staff. Highly recommend. read more

The Chapel of Orange is a perfect place to get married. My husband and I got one of the smaller packages, the Minimony, and even then Cheryl worked with us to make our wedding experience unforgettable. She found us the perfect officiant and a wonderful photographer, and made everything not only super easy, but super affordable as well! I also think it's important to mention that the chapel offers secular ceremonies and works with same-sex couples. Thanks again, Cheryl! We couldn't have asked for better :) read more

This is the most amazing place to get married. I got married here almost two weeks ago and Cheryl and Alyssa were the best to work with and made the whole process easy and simple. They went above and beyond to make my day even more special and magical then I thought. All the vendors did the same for my husband and I. All our guests said it was the best wedding they went to and it is all because of Cheryl and Alyssa. read more
