Leanne was so sweet and helpful and attentive! And Eddie went above and beyond all night long

Having our wedding at the Summit House was truly a dream come true! They were the first venue that my husband and I went to go see and we knew from the start that the Summit House was special. We tried to go tour other venues but the peace that we felt at the Summit House was undeniable. Everyone loved the food, the gazebo, and the view! It’s such a beautiful place to have your wedding that it doesn’t need much to make it outstanding as it already is. LeeAnn was so helpful leading up to our wedding and we were so appreciative on how organized she is. The Summit House did have a different “Day of Coordinator” for the wedding, and they oversaw all the “behind the scenes”. If you want more 1-to-1 interactions, you might want to hire a wedding planner or an additional day of coordinator. Overall, our wedding day was perfect thanks to the Summit House!

The Summit House gave us our dream wedding! Every aspect of the Summit House was beyond what we could have ever hoped for. The entire Summit House team was amazing from start to finish, but LeeAnn was truly the reason that we loved our special day. From the moment we stepped foot at the Summit House, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The location was beautiful, the views were spectacular, and their entire system was turn-key. We did not do the Everything But The Ring Package, but we still felt like everything was so streamlined. Every time we spoke with LeeAnn, all of our fears would go away because we knew that we were in good hands. The entire staff was professional, knowledgable, and truly amazing. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and that was entirely because of the Summit House. There is truly not enough good things that we can say. If you are thinking about getting married at the Summit House, don’t look any further. We promise that you won’t regret it!

We had the most incredible wedding at Summit House! Working with LeeAnn and her team at Summit House was an ABSOLUTE DREAM. We originally had planned our wedding for 2020, but due to the pandemic had to postpone. We were very nervous that we wouldn't be able to have our future date available in 2021, but LeeAnn and all the wonderful vendors we worked with assured us that it would not be an issue at all. LeeAnn was so incredibly kind and responsive to all of the questions I had. She made sure that everything was taken care of and more than anything calmed me down when I would psych myself up for no reason. It was an absolute pleasure to have her as our wedding coordinator.

Our actual wedding day was May 7th, 2021. A day prior, we had dropped off all of our little decorative items that needed to be displayed at the reception. LeeAnn and her team executed all of my visions into a reality. We opted to have our cocktail hour and reception at Summit House, while having our ceremony at a church. Not to worry though, Summit House has a beautiful park and gazebo if anyone chooses to have their ceremony on site. Our reception space was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Not only is Summit House on top of a hill overlooking Orange County, the cute cottage-like, romantic ambiance of the venue makes this location an absolute MUST for a wedding.

We had an open bar along with the most delicious hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour. What my husband and I enjoyed the most was that everything was so well taken care of so we actually got to enjoy the cocktail hour ourselves. LeeAnn was also kind enough to bring me and my husband our own little tray of hors d'oeuvres to the bridal suite so we could take a few minutes to ourselves and enjoy the delicious food in peace.

Our timeline for how the night was supposed to go was executed without a hitch. My husband and I, along with our 100+ guests, were so impressed by the service, the food, and the venue. The food was out of this world! Most people tend to think that when food is made in such large quantities---especially at a wedding---something tends to lack. That was absolutely not the case at Summit House. We opted for a plated dinner with Filet Mignon, Stuffed Chicken, or a Vegetarian pasta as our meal choices. Every single steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the chicken was so moist. The vegetable pasta had the most scrumptious sauce. Bread service, along with tea and coffee was also available for all of our guests. We had so many of our guests coming up to us sharing that the food at our reception was the best wedding food they have ever had. The service that we received from all of the servers, along with the vendors present was impeccable. They made sure that not only the bride and groom were happy and having a good time, but that also the guests were as well.
All in all, we could not have asked for a more perfect reception. We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have our wedding at the Summit House.

To the Summit House team, we want to thank you so much for giving us the best day of our lives. We thank you for all of your hard work in making May 7th, 2021 a day we will never forget!

Should you have your wedding at Summit House? Not even a question. YES YES YES!

The Summit House was the perfect venue for our wedding on October 5, 2019. We were truly blessed to have found this venue. A friend of mine had gotten married there several years ago and I always remembered it being beautiful with great food. We were originally very excited about visiting an old speakeasy. However, since that venue was purely a blank canvas and everything would need to be brought in, we decided to also look at a venue where they offer packages and pretty much take care of the bulk of it for you. That is when the Summit House popped into my head...plus my dad often raved about the restaurant. Long story short, we visited the Summit House in the morning, immediately fell in love, called to cancel our appointment to tour the speakeasy that evening, came home and made the deposit. My husband and I instantly knew that we wouldn't want our wedding ceremony and reception to take place anywhere else. We went with the EBTR package and were referred to the most wonderful vendors. We seriously could not be more grateful for their vendor referrals and the vendor open house event they put on. We got married at the gazebo at Vista Park and our reception was at the Summit House. We cannot say thank you enough to LeeAnn and her team for helping make our dream day possible. They went above and beyond from our first meeting till after the wedding. I am an over thinker, planner, organizer, etc. so you could only imagine the amount of emails I had sent and times I went to visit the venue. Not once did they make me feel like I was annoying them. They were always so gracious in calming my nerves, answering my questions, and taking time to meet with me at the venue. LeeAnn and her team helped me out so much that I didn't even need a wedding planner. If you are looking for a venue, look no further. All of our guests had the kindest words to say about our wedding and it was in large part to everyone involved that made our dream wedding come true. Plus, you can't go wrong with a venue that has the most delicious food! In the end your guests won't remember much, but they will always remember how good the food was. The Summit House will check all of your boxes.

We were so impressed with the beauty of this venue combined with the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the yummy food. Our guests raved about the food and the views as well as how nice and comfortable the ballroom is. We received a lot of advanced help from Lee Ann and Tiffany to make the wedding day stress free. The staff took care of all the details so that we could really enjoy and be fully present at our daughter’s wedding. We would recommend booking your wedding or event here, it is exceptional !!

This review is way overdue. When I think back to my wedding day and I think of a word, no other word comes to mind other than "perfect." My experience from beginning to end was phenomenal with Mark and his staff. Summit House was the first venue I looked at and when I say I should have stopped looking, I really mean it. No other venue can come close to how amazing Summit House is. Nestled on the top of a hill, you have a beautiful panoramic view of Orange County, the venue is immaculate and classy, and the food is delicious. The ballroom is already donned with beautiful ceiling piping and not to mention the light that comes through the ceiling to floor windows, it is the ideal venue location that truly offers it all. I can't even begin to thank Mark and his team, they were so considerate of me and my crazy bride/wedding wants and dreams. If you are even considering Summit House, make sure you definitely check it out. You won't regret it at all! Thanks again for making my wedding so memorable!!

After looking into multiple wedding venues we decided upon Summit House Restaurant for the following reasons:
1) Close to home. We didn't want distance or driving to our wedding to be a pain in the butt for people. And Summit House was perfect in that most of our guests were from Orange County or LA.
2) Beautiful venue with outdoor ceremony & indoor reception. I loved their ceremony site with the gazebo & how guests would be sitting up on hill so they can witness our ceremony without any obstruction. Plus I wanted the reception to be inside due to weather concerns.
3) Reasonable Price. Honestly weddings are expensive but Summit House had very competitive pricing and was very reasonable.
4) Good food. Both my husband and I are foodies. Therefore, we did not want the food to suck... and the food at Summit House was amazing! On the day of our wedding the food tasted better than it did at our tasting. We were both very impressed.
5) Plenty of parking. Summit House has complimentary valet & self parking.

My husband & I got married at the Summit House this past weekend, 1.19.19. Honestly, it was the best decision we ever made. So glad we went with them and not another place!

Once we booked Summit House. Planning our wedding was like a breeze. LeeAnn and Mark answered all my questions regarding our wedding via email. They were quick to answer even the minor questions I had. Paying for venue was easy as well & they take CREDIT CARD!!! Score with the mileage points!!! Plus the tasting is an awesome experience for the family. It was like a meal with full plating of the dishes! Our families all enjoyed the experience!

We decided to do the Tudor Package & Buffet. Tudor Package comes with chivari chairs plus 3 passed appetizers & champagne & wine served at the table. I think it's a great deal if your guests drink! For those that dont drink they had martinelli apple cider for our guests. My husband and I didn't get a chance to try their apps bc we had to take our wedding portraits but our guests said they were delicious!

I went with the Buffet even though it was slightly more expensive bc I didn't want to worry about who's going to eat what & it was a good idea! People got to choose what they wanted to eat and not eat. Plus people were given the option to go get seconds if they wanted! My groom took advantage of that! Plus we had couple kids with severe allergies & Summit House made a separate plating of food for these kids and served them directly at the table. One the kid's mom praised Summit House for this and mentioned that it was the kid's first time trying green beans and that he loved it! Plus the groom and I got served with a plate full of everything from the buffet. I have heard of horror stories where the bride & groom doesn't even get to eat at their own wedding. This was not the case for us! We were so full from dinner!!!

The hosted bar at our wedding was a nice touch! Some people were taking advantage of it but it still didn't even hit our budget of $2000 since there was champagne & wine being served at the table. The bar was nice at the end of night when people were dancing they could grab drinks as well. Our bartender was nice & even took some pictures for us. Lol :)

Honestly, if you have your wedding at Summit House you do not need a wedding coordinator... unless you are REALLU bad at planning OR you dont want to plan. I am a planner & I planned everything from the day we got engaged up to our wedding day. But Summit House executed everything I wanted for my wedding on the day of since I personally wasn't able to.

LeeAnn & Cristina made sure everything was set up the way I wanted on the day of while I was getting my hair & makeup done in their bridal suite.

Mayra helped us with our wedding ceremony walk thru during rehearsal and on the day of. She made sure the ceremony flowed smoothly.

Cristina made sure reception went as planned & made sure to feed us! :)

Sam stayed thru out our reception and made sure everything ended nicely.

There were so many people at Summit House who made sure that our wedding went well. For that they were wonderful! I knew on the day of that I can just let go and let them handle it!

I most definitely recommend Summit House for your wedding venue! If you are contemplating... JUST DO IT! You won't be disappointed.

I had my wedding (reception only) at Summit House on 9/10/2017, and we are so happy we decided on Summit House for our venue. Aesthetics-wise, it's really up to each couple's personal taste, so you'll have to see the venue for yourself.

Like other reviewers mentioned, Summit House and their staff are a well-oiled machine. They have done so many weddings and their experience, professionalism, and service level really set them apart from other venues. We were initially a bit worried when Carmen, the wedding events director who had shown us the venue, left in between when we booked the venue and when our wedding was, but Mark, Erin, and Marco are a great team and were able to allay all of our concerns. They are super prompt in responding to emails, let us visit the venue multiple times with our coordinator and were always on hand to answer our questions, which was so nice because we kept changing our minds about things.

Throughout the wedding day, Marco or someone on his team were always on hand to give me water, give me food, and just make sure that my husband and I had any needs taken care of. He also is a pro when it comes to prepping for wedding sparklers.

If you're thinking of having your wedding here, DO IT!

The first time I step foot in here, I knew this was going to be our wedding venue. It has a romantic countryside feel to it that is also elegant and classy. Aside from the obvious beautiful view and building, I wanted our wedding to have AMAZING food (prime rib here is top notch)

But the part that surprised me the most was the service. Marco the banquet manager is AMAZING. He was like my 6th bridesmaid. He was there whenever I needed him (fixed the train on my dress for photos, held my bouquet, offered to bustle my dress if we didn't know how, brought us drinks, set up all the decor, etc). Not only did my fiancé and I notice how well he took care of us the whole evening, my family noticed too. That is a huge compliment. You can't buy service like that anywhere. Our server Cris was also superb. She'd check in on us with our beverages in between photos and during dinner time, she made sure we were taken care of. The staff made sure the wedding was a great time for everyone. Also I love my prime rib cooked medium rare and so I requested it that way for the wedding. I made a note on the invites that it would be served that way in case some people can't eat it then they can pick something else. Unfortunately I did see some plates be sent back to the kitchen for being too pink. I felt so bad for the wait staff for the trouble but they took care of my guests regardless. It really was the best day ever and it would not have been as amazing as it was if it weren't for the staff here. Thank you for making our wedding day PERFECT!! Again especially to Marco!!!
