    We had our wedding on May 16, 2026! We had an amazing time from start to end. I am a bit sad it is over. The venue is absolutely beautiful! When you drive in, the greenery takes your breath away. You don't really need much decor for this venue because it's already gorgeous! Mimi is the absolute BEST. We met her when we were touring & she has been our main point of contact during planning. From food tasting, linen selection, et cetera... everything has gone well. Shoutout to Rigo our DJ for being a great MC & bringing in all the good vibes. He helped keep the dance floor packed. Another shoutout to our DOC Ismaela (if that's spelled correctly) she was very sweet & attentive on the day of! She helped with managing the timeline. The food was AMAZING as well. The bartenders sure made some awesome drinks. The flexibility with vendors was great. We did the signature package & have no regrets whatsoever for upgrading. We truly got our money's worth. We were so well taken care of. The team at the Estate will make your day extra special.

    Reception

    We recently had our wedding at this venue and honestly, everything was amazing from start to finish. 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. The staff at the estate were all so friendly and welcoming. 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!

    This place is perfect to have an intimate wedding. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and questions on how we found it. There were a lot of areas perfect for pictures! Yanel and Sarah were excellent coordinators provided by the venue. They made the experience a lot less stressful and made sure the day went perfectly while also making us laugh and feel more comfortable. They are the best coordinators! Mimi was great as well, helping us when it was getting close to the day! We will book this place again for our 2nd wedding

    We were planning for Hawaiian themed wedding and the estate had all of what we wanted. So initially we thought it it we were looking at the White House (their other location) however we were pleasantly surprised to find this location instead. It's tucked away in a residential area and had a beautiful long drive way up that's overhung with trees (similar to many parts in Hawaii). So venue looks worked great! Then we had the pleasure of working with Mimi, who was able to help coordinate a lot of the things that needed to be done and was able to get us in contact with certain vendors and was able to get us the correct package and was like our second day of wedding planner! She is phenomenal to work with and is very experienced and always super calm which very much helps in the hectic busy time. Would definitely recommend this location as well as Mimi!!! Thank you again for making our special day a forever great lasting memory!!!

    My husband Jeff and I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at The Estate OC this October, and it was truly a dream come true. Finding a beautiful venue in Southern California that doesn't require a high guest minimum is so difficult, but The Estate OC was everything we hoped for and more. If you're looking for an intimate and romantic setting, this venue is perfect yet it can also comfortably accommodate larger parties. One of the best parts of The Estate OC is their all-inclusive packages, which make wedding planning so much easier. Ours included the DJ, catering, linens, bartenders, and a day-of coordinator. They offer different package tiers depending on your budget, plus a variety of affordable in-house add-ons (often much cheaper than hiring outside vendors). The food was delicious, they offer a wide variety of menu options, with your choice between plated service or buffet style. Everything we selected was beautifully prepared and received rave reviews from our guests. They also provide a beautiful chuppah (extra add on) option if you'd like your altar to have more visual impact. It added such a lovely touch to our ceremony and looked stunning in our photos. The photobooth was a hit with our guests! It came with fun props, and I loved that I could design my own custom photo template. The audio guestbook (a phone booth where guests leave voicemails) was another favorite. Listening to everyone's messages afterward had us laughing and crying all over again. I even left a surprise voicemail for Jeff at the end of the night, which Mimi sent to us later. He had no idea until then... and yes, he cried. :) The only outside vendors we needed to book were our photographer, florist, and dance floor which makes total sense since those are so personal to your style and vision. Another huge plus: The Estate OC is BYOB. In my opinion, that's a much better option than having a preset or cash bar. For a smaller wedding where you know your guests' preferences, it's a great way to save money. We spent about one-third of what most people typically pay for alcohol. Finally, I have to give special thanks to Mimi (Assistant Manager), Yanel (Consultant), and Sharon (Day-of Coordinator). They made everything run seamlessly from start to finish. Communication was quick, and they were so attentive throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they checked in constantly and handled everything with care and precision. Whatever we needed, they were on it and thanks to them, our day was absolutely perfect.

    I'm still in awe of our wedding day on May 3, 2025. From the moment we first visited, we fell in love with the open space and the incredible vibe this venue gave us. The wedding packages were a huge help, they included catering (our guests raved about the food!), tables, chairs, linens, valet parking, a DJ/MC, two bartenders, and a day-of coordinator. With so much included, all we really had to focus on was the decor and photography. We also added our own personal touches: a steel drum band and coconut vendor for the ceremony, and a churro cart for late-night snacks. The venue was extremely accommodating and helped coordinate with our vendors seamlessly. Mimi was especially helpful, she was responsive and quick to answer all our questions throughout the planning process. On the big day, Mimi and Yanel were there to ensure everything ran smoothly. Yanel the day off coordinator, was absolutely amazing. I truly don't think I could have stayed calm without her. She made sure everything ran smoothly, helped all the vendors get set up, and during the rehearsal, she managed to wrangle our chaotic wedding party of 16 to ensure a flawless entrance. One of my favorite moments, captured in our wedding video, was when she quietly adjusted my train before I walked down the aisle, it was such a thoughtful gesture. When it briefly started to rain, I began to panic, but she reassured me everything would be fine, and she was right. It all turned out beautifully. If you're still looking for a venue, The Estate is definitely the way to go!

    If you're searching for the perfect outdoor wedding venue, The Estate is truly unmatched. Having always dreamed of saying "I do" surrounded by lush greenery, I'm so grateful we found this incredible location. It exceeded all our expectations. Our family and friends were absolutely amazed by the beauty of the grounds and how seamlessly everything came together. I recently received our wedding photos, and I'm still in awe of how stunning they are--not only because of the photo quality, but also thanks to the breathtaking backdrop The Estate provides. And I must say, the driveway alone is worth mentioning--absolutely picture-perfect! While the venue speaks for itself, I can't express enough gratitude to Mimi for her exceptional support throughout our wedding planning journey. From the very beginning, when we were still uncertain about booking, Mimi was patient, informative, and incredibly reassuring. I often felt like I was asking too many questions, but she always made me feel comfortable and reminded us that her goal was to ensure we had the best experience possible--which we absolutely did. We wholeheartedly recommend The Estate as a wedding venue--and of course, Mimi--for anyone looking to have a truly magical and stress-free celebration.

    Ceremony

    5/5 -- The Estate + Mimi = Wedding Magic Where do I even begin?! Our wedding at The Estate was nothing short of a dream -- and that's entirely thanks to the stunning venue and the incredible team behind it, especially Mimi, the BEST coordinator to ever exist. From the moment we toured the property, we knew it was special. The lush grounds, the timeless charm, the effortless elegance -- it's the kind of place that feels like a fairytale come to life. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and unique it was. This venue has an energy that photos just can't capture -- you have to experience it. But what truly set our day apart was Mimi. I cannot sing her praises enough. She is a real-life wedding angel. Organized, calm, kind, and on top of literally everything. She anticipated needs before we even voiced them, handled every detail with so much care, and made the entire process feel easy and joyful. Even behind the scenes, she made magic happen. Every timeline tweak, every logistical question, every last-minute request -- Mimi was there with a smile, a solution, and a level of support that made us feel so taken care of. I genuinely don't know how our day would've been without her. She didn't just help plan our wedding -- she protected our peace, elevated our vision, and made sure we were fully present for one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. Our wedding was perfect -- truly perfect -- and so much of that is because of The Estate and Mimi. If you're thinking about getting married here, run, don't walk. You'll be in the best hands, at the most breathtaking venue, with the most caring, competent, and talented coordinator you could ever ask for. Mimi, thank you for making our day unforgettable. We will forever be grateful.

    My daughter just had her wedding this past Sunday, and Exy was extremely helpful in guiding this poor father through the experience. Exy was so good in literally walking us through what needed to be done before and during the big day. (Please ignore the low review rating & comment recently from Mike T., our guest for the event who really did not know what he was talking about - there were no foods ordered that would even required a spoon.) The foods were wonderful (I finished off the plate), the DJ was fabulous (first time I danced that much), and everything was so much more than expected by me, and I received more than what I had paid for. Thank you very much Exy and her crew at the Estates. I highly recommend this venue to anyone. Thanh Le, MD/Neurologist, and very satisfied father of the bride.

    Such an amazing and beautiful venue! This place was perfect for our wedding. We had the pleasure of having Yanel as our wedding planner and she was 10/10. Yanel perfectly set up our welcome table, she helped out our florist when we forget to mention to her that we changed two round tables to long tables, and she made sure the groom and I were always well taken care of! Sara was also a big help too, she was a great secondhand to Yanel! If you're wanting a beautiful outdoor venue wedding then absolutely book your wedding here. The bridal and groom suites are new and beautifully decorated for great photos with your photographer. Another huge bonus about the venue was having our ceremony and reception all at the same place with stunning views. Oh and Our guests really enjoyed the food, especially the short rib! Another great thing we loved was the fact we got to bring our own alcohol and create some signature drinks! The bartender did such a great job of executing all of our drinks and was so fast and helpful. I honestly can't express how great the team is here and I'm so thankful for Yanel, Sara, Mimi, and Jovan. They were always communicating with us and so helpful with all of our questions and changes. My husband and I couldn't have picked a better venue. It exceeded all of our expectations!

    The grooms sweet was amazing and their care for the guys and giving them an amazing space made him feel extra special

    We got married here at the beginning of March 2025 and we could not have picked a better venue. Yanel really made the experience amazing for us from start to finish and we definitely underutilized her experience and expertise during the planning phase. I was struggling to find someone for hair, and she can through with a great recommendation in a couple hours. As for the day of our wedding, Yanel and the entire staff were amazing. We didn't have to worry about a thing for set up, the coordination beforehand made it so the entire day ran seamlessly, and we were absolutely taken care of as the guests of honor in every way. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

    Reception area

    We were extremely lucky to have found such a beautiful venue with such helpful staff. They made our special day so seamless. From Mimi who was able to answer and help with all our questions leading up to and on our big day. To Sara our day of coordinator who helped make the day go smoothly. All the little details the staff put into our day really made the day that much more amazing.

    HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!!!!!! My husband and I got married here in June 2025 and it was such a dream come true. We had the privilege of working with Mimi, who is genuinely one of the most incredible human beings. Before we were even signed clients, she cared about listening to our needs, budget limitations, and our love. We signed on the spot (they book FAST so if you want a Saturday, get in contact sooner rather than later) and for the following months, Mimi happily answered any and all questions we would spam her with. She was detail-oriented, HONEST, and so sweet, as was everyone else on the Estate team. You get to sample everything on the menu at your food tasting, they allow sparkler exit (and have all of the set up for it), and all of the set up and tear down is so seamless. There is seven hours of guest time (3 pm - 10 pm, but last song needs to be at 9:30), on-site bridal and groom suites, you BYOB so it can save you a tonnnn of money, and their food is actually really good (and customizable!). Mimi also hooked us up with our florist so they have connections which can be helpful in your planning process. Photos do not do this venue justice and we cannot stress enough how flexible and wonderful the Estate team is. Ask for Mimi and tell her you love her. Our guests cannot stop RAVING about how beautiful and perfect the day was!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS

    See all

We were seated promptly at our reservation time of 7:15pm. The restaurant is gorgeous and sits on a hill overlooking the city of Orange. During the summer, there is a breathtaking view of the sunset right at dinnertime. Our server was Ailyn, who was such a sweetheart. She took amazing care of us and went above and beyond to provide us excellent service. Complimentary cornbread is provided, served with a drizzle of honey, Himalayan sea salt, and a cayenne infused butter. The butter is so good and really makes the cornbread shine. I had the "Paid Vacation" cocktail, served in a glass ball swinging on a crescent moon shaped hanger. Everything about this drink from its presentation to its flavors was loud, fun, and summery. You are given a Szechuan flower to nibble on before sipping your drink, numbing your tongue with a mala tingling sensation. The drink itself is vodka based with passionfruit. I loved the tropical taste and playful presentation. This drink is one of four "main character" cocktails that one would order if one desired the attention of the entire room. And it was my birthday, so of course I did. For our appetizers, we got the caviar frites and crispy rice tuna tartare. The caviar frites were perfectly crispy and seasoned. I loved the accompaniments such as the vodka creme fraiche and dollops of caviar. The crispy rice tuna tartare was plated beautifully. The tuna was fresh and spicy, and I loved the crispy rice on the bottom. At this point in our meal, Ailyn advised us to take pictures with the gorgeous sunset on the patio while we waited for our entrees. A small handful of people were doing the same. The sunset was especially breathtaking from our vantage point. I could see every layer of the rainbow embedded in the blazing California sky. I had the filet mignon and added an Atlantic lobster tail. The filet was so tender and juicy. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly. I really liked the side of 50/50 mashed potatoes as well. The mash was extremely creamy and the crispy bits of potato "hay" on top were delicious. I had a lovely experience at Orange Hill. I would definitely come back.

As you walk in, they have a small bridge path that has Koi Fish underneath the water. We had made a reservation, so the wait was only 5 minutes. The place is simply decorated, nothing stood out, but the view was awesome. The Corn bread was nothing to brag about. We all ordered the steaks, and they were not bad. They have some fancy drinks, but after a couple of drinks not remember the names of them. Our main complaint was that the area we sat in the AC went out, and they said it was on. NO IT WASN'T. They have inside and outside seating . Not a bad place if you like the best view of the city.

I made things a bit worse by grabbing a salad from the bar and joining him, hoping they'd let us stay. In the kindest way possible, the staff gently let us know we couldn't, so we happily moved to the bar for a drink while we waited. Even though we were far from perfect guests--especially on one of their busiest days--the management showed incredible hospitality. They generously bought us a round of drinks and soon after seated us at a beautiful table by the glass. It turned a potentially awkward moment into a wonderful experience. This restaurant has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember--it's been here longer than I've been alive. No matter the circumstances, they always treat you like a valued guest. I truly love this place and will continue coming back for years to come (as long as I'm still in California!). A huge thank you to the manager who went above and beyond to make my dad's Father's Day special.

Because of the complete lack of communication, we've decided to look elsewhere for a wedding venue.

While I can't speak to the quality of their events, I can speak to my experience as a potential customer, which was disappointing. Based on the lack of communication alone, I would not recommend this venue to other brides or families looking for a reliable and responsive wedding team.

    Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process.
