Great Value & Excellent Service

Christin was wonderful to work with. She was very communicative and patient with our dozens of questions throughout the planning process. OCMC decided at the last minute to build an outdoor dining area which could accommodate the events they had scheduled and they are the sole reason I did not have to have my reception in someone’s backyard. We had reservations about the tent after seeing initial photos (prior to any events being hosted) but seeing it in person removed any reservations we had. We got married on a sweltering weekend and OCMC set up a small area inside the restaurant where our guests could cool off if necessary. The service was great, our guests raved about the food, and the evening was perfect. We chose a package which included the cake and the flowers – both of the vendors were great to work with. We also hired a day of coordinator recommended to us by OCMC and she was great. I would not hesitate to hold a special event at OCMC again in the future. They were amazing.

amazing venue

I am so greatful for christana the rest of the event staf at OC minning co! I had a lot going on at the time of my wedding, my father in-law fell fatally ill/ Oc mnning co helped take off so much stress with our wedding. At one point we were gonna move it up due to the illness and they went above and beyond. The waiting staff and bartenders worked very well with my day of coordinators. The vendors they offer from the flowers, cake, and DJ services are top noch! Thank you to all of you for making my day so special!

Our weddding was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Orange County Mining Co. by far exceeded my expectations. Casandra and Christin were extremely helpful and very responsive the whole way through. They definitely made this experience amazing for me. The banquet captain (I believe Alfredo) was phenomenal! He was there always checking on my new hubby and me to make sure we had anything we needed. We've already received compliments saying how nice the venue was. We had the perfect wedding! Thank you so much OCMC!

The Team at Orange County Mining Company is so wonderful to work with! From start to finish, they were very knowledgeable and responsive, taking the time to work out all the details to make my event perfect. We had our ceremony in the lower of the banquet rooms, and transitioned into a cocktail hour/reception upstairs in the larger banquet room. The views during our (sunset) ceremony were amazing! I would definitely recommend following their social media leading up to your event so you can get ideas on planning your own wedding!

We had our 80 person ceremony and wedding both here at OCMC. The ceremony was downstairs in a small room and the reception upstairs in the large banquet room. Both rooms have an amazing view!!!! The ceremony was simple, but so nice and plenty of room for all my guests. The catering staff was so helpful in helping me get down the aisle and coordinating everything! We did some pictures after the ceremony while our guests went upstairs for apps. They all raved about the food! The staff was so thoughtful, they even brought us a plate of apps which was amazing because I was STARVING! I was so happy with the reception, the room looked great and it was so nice to see that everything that I had asked to be set up was there and ready. We were given floor length table clothes and chair covers as part of the package which really made the room look great! The sunset was unbelievable! My friends and family are still talking about the food (Prime Rib- which was cooked perfectly Medium Rare! and garlic mashed potatoes)! Happily give my wedding a 5 stars review!

My husband and I were very pleased with this location. Growing up in Orange County, we both wanted a convenient and memorable place for our small wedding of 75. The view overlooking Orange Country was absolutely breathtaking. So romantic not only for our pictures but for our guests to enjoy as well. The staff was very friendly and we were very pleased with the quality of food. We will be going back very soon for Sunday brunch!! :)
