Come see it for yourself it's a very beautiful place to have your wedding! www.SurfCitySound.com (714) 846-7076 recommends "Centennial Heritage Museum"
Over the last 20 years, The Clergy Network has presided over wedding ceremonies at the Heritage Museum of Orange County. From the smaller to the larger wedding, this venue provides a little bit of the old Victorian world to the bride and groom wanting a wedding venue all their own - not shared by other brides and grooms on the same day, as in a large hotel or wedding event venue. Guest can wander into the lovely Victorian Style home (museum), or remain in the adjacent courtyard or hanging courtyard gardens. A lovely Orange County Wedding Venue.

If you're looking for a nice place with a sense of intimacy, Heritage Museum is the place. Their layout allows you to have your ceremony in one place, cocktails in another, and dinner in a third. It has more of a home feel, very comfortable, and a considerate staff. It almost feels like your in your own house, only much larger. Everything seems to run smoothly here - a great place for a your wedding and reception! A Endorsement from "Jinny's Bridal Center" www.jinnysbridal.com (714) 842-6440
This is a great venue, especially for medium to larger weddings. Everything about Heritage Museum was built to create a great experience for their clients. They have state the art lighting & one of the best caterers, and a staff that cares about you and your event. I highly recommend them: Newport Coast White Dove Release www.ocdoves.com (714) 903-6599
For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael and I Officiate at all locations in Orange County. And one of my top favorite locations to Officiate at is the Heritage Museum of Orange County. Their staff are, without a doubt, the best, the most flexible, the most organized and the nicest to work with. I receive so many rave reviews from my couples regarding the way they handle everything. I would be remiss in not telling you to at least call the Heritage Museum of Orange County and investigate their venue.

Tips and Advice
When deciding what is the most important part  of your  " Special Day" please remember that just contacting someone on the internet to find a vendor is not looking out for your best interest. If your venue has a preferred vendors list then they have it for a reason. Call those vendors, most of the time cheap is not always the best way to go. Remember you get what you pay for!
