It feels like you traveled back in time to a Spanish courtyard, and it has such a charming feel to it. Of all the venues I looked at over the year plus I tried to plan the wedding it was head and shoulders above the others, and it was SURPRISINGLY affordable!!! Another plus was getting use of the entire venue. The price was reasonable for the venue ($5250) and that included the onsite coordinator, Celina, who helped us figure out our layout and other details, as well as 2 security guards who make sure downtown Fullerton bar hoppers do not wander into your party. We also used the Bridal suite on the 3rd floor to get ready which was such a great option to have on site. I cannot imagine us getting married anywhere else, it was just so perfect, and our family and friends loved it. There is convenient free parking for all your guests across Harbor Blvd., and they even saved a couple spots in their parking lot for our older family members, such as my husband's grandparents and my parents, and of course for us as the couple. We had a little over 100 guests and we fit comfortably (with a little more room open) in the courtyard. They flipped the venue for us, (we used Hidalgos--check my other review for more details) so we were able to have our ceremony, then the guests were taken upstairs for cocktail hour (there is an elevator for guests who need one) and chill while we took our wedding photos, and the staff flipped the venue into a reception space. It is cliche but it was ACTUALLY magical, and the best day and I do not think any other venue would've made us as happy or satisfied. My husband and I used to go sit on the 2nd floor with pizza specials from Angelo and Vinci's when we first started dating back when we were going to Fullerton College (about 15 years ago) so the venue was already special to us. I HIGHLY recommend using this venue for your event, you will not regret it.

The entire staff was so kind and attentive during our wedding. They made sure my husband and I were taken care of all night, brought us cocktails, checked in on us, and even sent us home with honeymoon treats afterward. Those little touches meant so much and made the whole experience feel really special. Arielle, our event specialist, was also incredible. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, always communicative, easy to reach whenever I had questions, and just made everything feel so much less stressful. She truly went above and beyond and played such a big part in making our wedding day as special as it was. We were also invited to Taste of Jay's, which was such a fun experience. It was an entire evening at one of their other venues where we got to try the different food options and get a better idea of what they offered before the wedding. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the planning process feel exciting instead of overwhelming. You can really tell this company cares about the people they work with and wants couples to have a great experience from beginning to end. We felt so cared for throughout the entire process and on the wedding day itself. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event. The food was also sooo good!! We had so many people tell us afterwards how much they enjoyed dinner.

No one wants to read a negative wedding venue review, and overall, our wedding day was wonderful. I…read moreunderstand that we were a difficult couple, especially due to all the restrictions with COVID guidelines. But I was hoping for a little more than we got, especially from the staff. The venue itself is beautiful. I knew as soon as we walked in that my (then) fiancee would love the place and that we were done looking at venues. The high ceilings, chandeliers, brick and hardwood... the whole aesthetic was amazing. The catering staff (the catering company owns the venue, so if you want to get married at The Estate, you have to hire Jay's Catering) was really good, and they worked with us to individually package to-go meals for our guests since we couldn't in good conscience have all of our guests eating together. Now for the difficulties. As I said before, our wedding was during COVID-19, so we dealt with a number of restrictions. We were also a difficult couple to deal with because we had to keep changing plans as the government placed greater restrictions and/or eased restrictions. We needed to be talking to the venue and catering coordinators quite a bit, as we increased and decreased guest counts and talked through all the different precautions that needed to be made. Toward the beginning of our working with them, both coordinators (Jeanne and Sierra) were very communicative and prompt, but as time wore on (and our wedding day grew closer) we were having more and more difficulty getting a hold of them. There was a point fairly early on where we realized that if I (the groom) called or emailed, I would get a terse, sometimes unhelpful response in a day or three. However, if my fiancee (the bride) called or emailed, she would get a prompt response that answered all of her questions thoroughly. As a groom who wanted to be involved in our wedding process, it was particularly irritating to be sidelined like this. The sound system wasn't what I was expecting. I help out from time to time with audio at church, so I'm used to working with venue sound systems. The Estate's sound system was set up more like a home theater. There were a few inputs, but everything was running through a central receiver rather than through a sound board. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem, but since it was COVID season, we were livestreaming the ceremony. Their system was incapable of handling that complication, so we ended up paying the livestream company an additional fee to bring in their own sound equipment so that we could have sound for both the in person attendees as well as the livestream viewers. There's a small parking lot in the back that is shared by some nearby vendors, and we were told that we'd have the whole lot (about 35 spaces) for our guests to use. When we arrived on the morning of our wedding, we were told that we were able to use about 8 spaces because the venue coordinator hadn't reserved the parking lot. We were also supposed to have a curtain that divided the main room so that the bride wouldn't be seen too early. That curtain was nowhere to be seen. After a lot of running around and numerous phone calls, our wedding coordinator discovered that the curtain had been used at a different venue the previous day (the catering company owns multiple venues) and wasn't returned. Our coordinator was able to find a spare curtain that was much smaller, but got the job done, but the whole situation left us feeling rather disappointed. So all in all, we were happy with the way things ended up looking, but there were several little things that added up to a large amount of unnecessary frustration.

Attended a Beautiful Wedding - Great Venue, Room for Improvement in Hospitality…read more I attended a family wedding here yesterday, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The venue itself is beautiful, especially the outdoor patio--it gave guests plenty of room to roam and created a relaxed, open atmosphere during the ceremony. The venue provides bartending staff, catering vendors, and what appeared to be a party coordinator. While the catering was outstanding--the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and attentive, offering a variety of authentic Mexican dishes--the bartending experience left much to be desired. The bartenders came across as standoffish and unwelcoming, which discouraged many guests, including myself, from returning for another drink. The coordinator seemed a bit overwhelmed but was clearly making an effort to keep things on track and honor the wedding traditions. Overall, this is a nice venue with great potential. With more approachable and hospitable staff, the experience here could truly be exceptional.
