Five Crowns Restaurant

We could not have been happier with our decision to get married at Five Crowns! My husband and I live in Ohio and initially decided on a beautiful Tudor-style mansion in Cincinnati for our event. We ultimately decided to get married in Southern California, where I grew up, to ensure that both of our families would be able to attend. We were sad to say goodbye to our dreamy old-fashioned mansion wedding in Ohio... but then I stumbled upon Five Crowns when I was searching for wedding venues in Orange County. On paper, it was everything we wanted - beautiful Tudor-style architecture, award-winning food, and stellar reviews!

As soon as I connected with Alison, Sales & Marketing Manager, I knew this was where we wanted to have our wedding. Thankfully, we were able to plan a trip to California about five months before our wedding to visit Five Crowns, meet Alison, and enjoy a nice dinner there. We were so impressed by Alison and the team at Five Crowns - everyone who works there is extremely knowledgable, hospitable, professional, and communicative. I am a chef with extensive experience in fine dining and upscale hotels so the food and hospitality aspects of our wedding were really important to us. We wanted our guests to be dazzled by the assortment and quality of the food and beverages, and to be taken care of by true hospitality professionals. Five Crowns delivered at every point.

The architecture and décor at Five Crowns really speak for themselves... which is something else that was important to us for our wedding. Since we were coming from out of state, we did not want to be burdened with dressing up a drab room and getting stuck with decorations we would never use again. We had flowers, greenery, and added a few extra candles on the tables and the space looked so intimate and cozy - it was exactly what we wanted!

The food and service were absolutely outstanding and Five Crowns is nothing like your average wedding venue. Since they are primarily a restaurant, they actually make and plate all of the food to order (when it is ready to go out to the dining room), rather than pre-plating it and keeping it in a warmer like most banquet caterers do. We opted for a cheese and charcuterie board with passed hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour, then sat down to the most abundant and decadent four-course family-style feast I have ever seen in my career! Every one of our guests raved about the food and we heard MANY comments suggesting that it was the best wedding meal they have ever had, best (and most perfectly cooked) prime rib they ever had, and some even said it was the best meal they had ever eaten in their life! And, of course, the service was just as memorable as the food. At most weddings, you are either served red or white wine at the table or have to get up and go to the bar to get a cocktail yourself. The servers we had the pleasure of meeting at Five Crowns are true hospitality professionals - knowledgable, caring, courteous, and gracious. They made it a point to get to know each of our guests’ beverage preferences and were able to craft a really amazing experience for everyone. The range of beverage choices really wowed us, and our guests, and it was really nice to be waited on with such care. One of my little nieces lost the bracelet I hand-made for her and when one of the servers found out that we were looking for something, he searched on his hands and knees to just find it for her. We all felt so welcomed by everyone on the staff and they truly cared for us like family - the team at Five Crowns is the definition of genuine hospitality.

Five Crowns is very reasonably priced for the experiences that they are able to create. There was no charge to rent the room - just a food and beverage minimum plus tax, a small service fee, and gratuity which is completely left up to the discretion of the client.


I still get butterflies thinking about our wedding day and how perfect and special it was! I encourage anyone with a taste for gourmet food, worldly beers, spirits and wines, and exceptional hospitality to trust Five Crowns with their event - you will not be disappointed!
