Food assortment was incredible. There was finger foods snacks appetizers, and then when we were served dinner, the servers were so accommodating, very friendly and depending on your event and how you rent out the space the staff does an incredible job of making sure that everything is ready ahead of schedule to make sure your event is seamless and perfect. Even the decorations walking up the stairs, although simple with such a neat touch. read more

Nelson made the event run smoothly!!! Great venue that required minimal decorations because of beautiful architecture, ambience, and fantastic natural lighting for an afternoon event. Everything from the place settings with chargers and glasses to the table set up added to enjoyment of our guests! Clean bathrooms with hands-free washing were a huge plus Will definitely choose this venue for our next big event and refer them also. And I will request Nelson as my Captain Lead who provided fantastic service! read more

Overall, an amazing venue had my wedding here in October 2025 and I all I can say is amazing things about this venue. Romina, the venue manager went above and beyond for myself and my family to make my wedding beautiful and amazing. She was readily available when I had a question and always answered back promptly and also when I was having issues with a few vendors, she reached out to them for me. I've recommended this venue to so many of my friends who are nearly getting engaged all because of Romina. read more

I recently had my daughters quince here at the 1912 and let's just say that I absolutely do not regret it whatsoever! From the staff to the bartenders to Romina answering the million and one questions I had. Romina was so great about answering the million questions to giving great advice and recommendations ! She even helped me the cake and help set up for the day! She also recommended our Dj and MC which they made sure we stayed on top of the schedule and kept the party going till the very last minute! What I truly loved about this venue a it's Corp that they make it easy for you to make payments at your own pace. We had our food tasting in Jan and they provided the different catering options and they also had different vendors that they work with them ! I would definitely recommend this place!! So much that we will be coming back as Guest for another family event in June ! read more

The 1912 - Entrance - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Santa Ana, California

We hosted a corporate event at The 1912 Venue for the first time, and it definitely won't be our last. Our staff had an amazing time and truly unforgettable experience. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and Romina, the venue manager, made the entire process stress free and seamless from start to finish. A huge shout out to Romina for going above and beyond!! she was incredibly flexible and even stepped in with last minute prop supplies to ensure everything looked perfect for our event. Her support and attention to detail made all the difference. Highly recommend The 1912 Venue for any corporate or special events! read more

We hosted our daughter's quinceañera at The 1912, and we were beyond thrilled with every part of the experience--from the early planning stages all the way through the night of the event. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with beautiful high ceilings, modern decor, a convenient layout, and a comfortable private area that made her outfit changes easy and stress-free. Romina, the Event Manager, was incredible to work with. She's professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. She answered all of my questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and guided us seamlessly through the entire process. We truly couldn't ask for a better venue or a better Venue Manager. On the day of the event, every detail was handled perfectly. I was actually able to relax, enjoy the party, and mingle with our guests--something every host hopes for! The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, and the drinks were plentiful. Truly, I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. Highly recommend! read more

Wow. Did this venue check off everything on my list, oh yes. Not only is it a great location. They accommodate to a lot of things most venues would deny. Romina is one of the sweetest person I've met,responds right away and is extremely helpful.She even helped out the day of the wedding to make sure my dream valentine's wedding came to life. The staff is extremely helpful and so polite. The price is very reasonable for everything that comes included.I really can't recommend this service enough. read more

I recently just had my wedding here and honestly it was nice and most of the workers were very nice but the venu coordinator Romina was very difficult to work with. I would text her to ask simple questions and she would never text me back. Also, the elevator was broken the week before and we were told it would be fixed by the day of the wedding but all my guest who used it informed me it was very scary and felt like they were going to get stuck. The cushions used for the ceremony seating were dirty, as well as many of the napkins they gave us to use for our dinner. That was just the day of complaint. Romina made our whole wedding planning a horrible experience. She lost our food tasting paper. Several times she continued to mention the incorrect date of our event, and I'm pretty sure she still doesn't even know mine and my husbands names. She seemed unorganized and unprepared. At one point, we regretted putting a down payment down for the terrible treatment we were experiencing. Also, the place allows you to stock the bar and I heard from my guests that someone at the end of the night was giving away our bottles that we had brought. Not cool! This place is nice but trust me there's better places! Just keep looking. Lastly, the parking situation for guests was not great, and the homelessness around the area is simply out of control. read more

Amazing venue!!! Had my daughters quinceañera and we loved the beautiful venue and amazing service. Romina, the event coordinator, is so sweet and nice and helped me through out the entire experience. The rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful and made our event extra special. I would recommend this venue over and over again. read more

Best hall in Santa Ana. The staff is amazing. Romina is very helpful with the process. Ask for her when you go there. Centrally located in downtown Santa Ana with plenty of parking Modern interior with built-in bar and elevator. Book here you won't regret it! read more

To re-iterate what my wife said- the staff and the bartenders were great. It is the venue and the manager could really use improvement. The plate settings and seats were dirty, floor was broken, bar cart was broken, the elevator was sketchy and our guest did not feel comfortable using it. They gave away our liquor at the end of the night (yes, we were present). Zero communication with Romina throughout our entire process ( 1 year and 3 months), she lost our food order, even when we would try to pay her, she was not present to accept payment as scheduled. Romina asked for all cash for the final payment, which was weird. Of course she did not have any change and still owes me money. On the day of our walk through she was zero help and left early, which was on a Tuesday btw because she overbooked. On the day of our wedding, she was walking people through our event to show them what it would look like, (an hour before we started. Get out of the way). She probably did not really explain to that poor couple that she would be zero help in making anything on your big day feel special. There is more to which I'd love to share with management but when I go to contact anyone in charge, it always goes straight back to Romina. Everything you see in the pictures is the hard work of a decorator or florist or coordinator, the venue and the "manager" are zero help with any of it. Also, $800 for empanadas?!?! Gtfo Terrible experience, I do not recommend. read more

Great venue, Tony and Romina made all things so easy and smooth. From planning to the day of event it was awesome. The venue came out looking great , no complaints at all. read more

First and foremost, we would like to thank Romina for executing the perfect wedding celebration for us. She was amazing throughout our event. The venue was absolutely stunning. The staff and crew were friendly and helpful. We definitely would recommend this place. The food was on point, and the bar was excellent. The location was stunning. Romina, you're the best!! We had a great time and couldn't be happier with the results of our wedding. Thank you for the awesome memories we created with your help, Romina. read more

Such an easy venue to work with and Romina was also great to work with. Venue is beautiful, clean and spacious.

Last week I coordinated a Poker Night & Social at The 1912 for a non-profit organization I'm a part of. We had about 180 people attending (80 in the Poker Tournament). Romina was so great to work with in planning the event. She was responsive and accommodating whenever I had changes. She was a great help in working out the best set up for tables to make the best use of the space. Since the venue did not have another event the day/night before ours, she even allowed us to come in and set up things the day before - that was such a huge help and made the day of the event so much less stressful. The staff was awesome during the event. I heard feedback from several guests about how attentive and helpful they all were. It's a small thing, but I loved that the security guy was dressed up in a black suit instead of a yellow windbreaker that says "SECURITY" like we have had in previous years when I've put on this event - it added a lot of class to the event. The bartender was friendly and fun. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The venue itself looked great - with that rustic feel. It was perfect for the fun/casual event we were having. My guests were so impressed with everything! Loved it so much that I'm planning to do next year's event there as well! read more

The 1912 - Set up for dinner & a poker tournament with a silent auction along the wall, snack bar, and dinner buffet. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Santa Ana, California

We absolutely loved this venue from the moment we walked in and loved even more working with Romina. The venue itself has a phenomenal atmosphere, very modern, industrial and classic. The location, Downtown Santa Ana has so much personality and a great lively scene too. We compared a lot of different places and this was the most affordable without cutting back on quality or service. Their packages are very inclusive and transparent. They offer a full, friendly staff who were more than attentive. Romina was an absolute dream to work with, we had changes up until the day of the wedding and she was flexible and accommodating. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns making sure we were stress free and would love our wedding which we did. We were able to have live music, a boba bar, and a taco stand. She really made everything work so smoothly! 10/10 recommend having your wedding at the 1912! read more

I am so happy my husband and I chose The 1912 for our wedding venue. Having both being born and raised in Santa Ana, this venue felt like it was meant to be. The location was super nostalgic for us and the venue itself was so elegant. Our guests were so pleased and could not stop complimenting on how nice the venue was! The planning process was extremely easy all thanks to their manager, Romina. She was very communicative and clear. She was so friendly, I felt like I had known her forever! We loved that the venue provided the table setup and food which was very tasty. We had selected our dinner option from the food tasting event they had provided months prior and we were not disappointed. It was actually tough to choose because all of our options were very good! The day of our wedding, everything ran so smoothly. The staff, including the servers and bartenders, were on point! Glasses were constantly getting refilled and empty plates were picked up quickly. My husband kept saying how impressed he was with the speediness of the servers. Overall, The 1912 was the one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. I hope I am lucky enough to attend another event at The 1912 in our near future! read more

Loved everything about our venue!! My husband and I had our wedding here in March 2024. Romina made our lives so easy and helped us through the process. She always was available to take my calls or answer my texts. I am so happy she was able to work with us throughout the entire year. The venue is taken care of very well and they provided so much furniture. I am really happy with the entire thing and I give this venue a 5 star review!!!! Loved loved loved everything about it. THANK YOU ROMINA FOR BEING SO AMAZING!!!!! :) Side note, the only thing was the parking lot right in front was under construction but totally not their fault just for picture purposes it kind of sucked. I am sure they'll be finishing up soon so everyone in the future won't have to worry about it! read more

This is a really spectacular event venue. It's very high ceiling and oversized windows makes the place look terrific. Romina, the manager is very helpful. She is very knowledgeable about all the large and little things essential for a memorable event. We hosted my wife's milestone birthday there. She and her staff provided excellent service and support for the event. Our party was truly memorable. We would recommend this venue for your event. Romina is very helpful through the whole planning process. read more

We had the most amazing experience hosting our Quinceanera @ The 1912. We couldn't have been more happier with how it turned out from planning, to decorating and the staff. The food was amazing and people asked for seconds! The ambience and energy was incredible all night. None of it could have been possible without Romina's help and guidance. Having security available and knowledgeable bartenders was a +! Thank you again to Romina and The 1912! read more

I just had a wedding in August and we had the best experience! Romina was amazing to work with. The venue was so easy and allowed us the flexibility to do exactly what we wanted. We opted to bring in our own food and drink, and our guests only had compliments for the evening. Great venue for events around 125 guests! read more

Reason for giving only 3 stars has nothing to do with the staff. Staff and bartender were all super helpful and amazing! Nice and very attentive to everyone needs. Location was very nice and clean! Staff was on everything which I loved. My Mom got married here and I can definitely say it was a 50/50 experience. The reason being was due to the complications regarding the alcohol fees/charges and the fact that my mom paid EXTRA to have greenery added to the roof and I can confirm there was no greenery added... regarding the alcohol situation was due to being probably 1 1/2 - 2hrs in supposedly the alcohol bill has racked up to almost 2k. My mom was informed once it hit that number and one of the grooms men had questioned the lady in charge how they were charging for the alcohol because there was IN DEED no way that the guest present had that many drinks since there wasn't that many...... The lady didn't answer the groomsmen and kept giving the runaround that it was 500 for just the beers and 700 something for beers and mixed drinks that the guest had already consumed, but wouldn't answer the question about how they were charging. By the liquor bottle ??? By the mixed drinks!?!? Thankfully they were able to work something out and they were approved to close out the bill and bring there own alcohol. There was also only one bartender for all guest which made the line a little long but I felt like they should have at LEAST 2 bartender as I'm sure the bartender was stressed with so many people. She was amazing though! My suggestion is PAY THE FEE AND BRING YOUR OWN ALCOHOL. read more

My review is based on the hidden costs of this venue. I asked for a price sheet for the venue rental and catering. According to the venue rental price sheet, the venue rental included: exclusive use of the site for 8 hours, standard lighting and access to speaker system, security guard, 200 chairs, 20 round tables, 1 sweetheart table, 4 high round tables, 1 low round table, 10 rectangular tables. All this seemed reasonable, and they had a huge catering menu. I e-mailed to give more info about my party and to schedule a tour. I received a response with a personalized proposal that tacked on approx. $3000+ in administrative fees as well as an equipment fee of $1300, although the standard lighting and speaker system is already included in the rental fee. It was $4500 to rent the space, so an extra $3000 in miscellaneous fees was a shock. There are many other beautiful venues around. Save yourself the trouble of dealing with hidden fees. read more

I had my perfect wedding here on March 15th two years ago and I couldn't have been more happy! The servers were great, very friendly and attentive. The staff who helped me set up and finalize the event were also wonderful! Amanda ensured every detail was perfect. They have a full kitchen inside the venue. The food was simply perfect and I was so thankful for the food crew who made our brunch wedding super tasty. I'm still dreaming of the appetizers that they served! All in all, very happy with our experience! read more

Beautiful venue and helpful venue manager Romina. We did my daughter debut here it was awesome venue. The food and service are excellent.

Nice place my friend had her daughter sweet 16 party there it was really cool! Great service too!

It's so hard to get a quote from them. I reached out for two occasions now and never heard from them. Hopefully they simplify this process. Sucks because the site looks so pretty. read more

We had our wedding reception at The 1912 in Santa Ana! And we were completely in awe of how our wedding colors and decorations looked inside the venue. We had fallen in love with this venue when we toured it. We switched our wedding from wanting the ceremony and reception in the same spot because of this venue. Although they do provide the option to have both, we wanted to enjoy the venue for our reception. We dealt with The 1912 team, Romina, and she was amazing! They were very helpful! Our wedding package included, Food, Soft Drinks, Some beers, Charger Plates, Chairs, Linens, Napkins, Glassware, cutlery and Toasting cider + Champagne! They also have the ability to rent things from them which makes it so much easier at the end of the night! We rented our sweethearts table arch, wedding cake stand and 2 easels but they have so much more! We had our own florist but they also have the option to have your centerpieces done with them! They are truly a one stop shop when it comes to wedding planning! We loved all the staff the day of our wedding! The bartenders and waitress staff ensured we had an amazing night! If we are ever looking for a venue The 1912 will definitely be again the top of our list! read more

Beautiful venue with a cool and helpful manager, Shane. If you're looking for a wedding venue, they require you to work with 24 Carrots for food and service. 24 Carrots seemed a bit pricey to begin with, but they have many options that range from reasonable to extravagant. Their staff were also extremely nice and helpful. I would absolutely recommend the 1912 to anyone looking for a neat venue for their event. Every wall in the event hall (except maybe the one with the bathroom) can be used as a fantastic backdrop. The exposed ceiling has a very nice - almost industrial - look to it, but the lighting is elegant and beautiful. If you're interested in the 1912, just send them an email! Shane is so helpful. You won't regret it. read more

I attended a wedding here and this venue was absolutely beautiful! They make good use of a very small area to make every inch worth it. The ceremony was done in a large room, which a backwall that hides the DJ table behind it. The seating area was lined with flowers and the venue was beautiful. After the ceremony, the whole party is led out to the bar area where people drink while the floor is reset with tables for dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole event. The location is prime and allows for after-partying after the wedding! The only thing that I think they would need to work on is to replace the hand dryers in the bathrooms. They're very loud and went off multiple times during a heartfelt speech which distracted everyone in the wedding. Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

We rented the venue for a wedding. It was a debacle. The servers were super mean. I paid for the wedding and they ended up kicking us out because they claimed my 21 year old daughter was drunk. She was doing nothing but dancing having a good time. She forgot her ID and they stalked her all night thinking she was under age. They are very rude there. Do not use this venue - you will be sorry. read more
