About

A new classic.

The Richland is a wedding venue and boutique hotel in the heart of Orange, California. The century-old property has been transformed into a beautiful gathering space, perfect for grand celebrations and intimate get-togethers.

Guests are welcomed into the bright and airy courtyard, complemented by a mature olive tree and well-suited for private receptions and pre-ceremony conversation. Gather and celebrate in the swoon-worthy Estelle Ballroom, perfect for seated receptions up to 200 guests. With exposed wood beam ceilings, wainscoting detail, and bright natural light, this space is a romantic backdrop for special occasions and beautiful blank canvas for any event. An included amenity is the Getting Ready Room, where wedding parties and event hosts can primp and prepare for the main event.

Step out to the Porte Cochere Patio for a breath of fresh air, surrounded by jasmine vine-covered pergolas and lush greenery, making it a special space for cocktail receptions and al fresco dining. Unique to the property is The Living Room Bar & Lounge, a firelit resting place for private events, where expert mixologists welcome you with bespoke beverages and bites.

The Richland features a distinct assortment of 12 guest rooms for couples, families, and friends to enjoy. No two rooms are alike in layout and design, particularly The Attic Suite, a romantic retreat for newlyweds, and The Cottage, a separate two-bedroom getaway with full kitchen and living room spaces, perfect for families and extended stays. For the ultimate luxury and privacy, extend your stay and enjoy The Richland exclusively for you and yours with a full property buyout.

The source of celebrations for over a century, the property lives on as a town landmark and memorable space for special occasions.

Great Venue!

We had our wedding at The Richland in August of this year, and it was great overall! The venue is small and charming but at the same time has plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy themselves. Michael, Katherine, and the support staff were extremely helpful and very attentive to our every need, question, and concern, promptly addressing each of the few issues that arose during our two day stay and throughout the wedding. The bridal suite was great! Plenty of mirrors, storage, and seating for everyone. The staff set out a variety of pastries, orange juice, champagne, and coffee for us - so nice! They also offer a cool looking trolley to shuttle guests back and forth from the Lemon parking structure leading up to the wedding.

The boutique hotel rooms are nicely designed and comfortable. We had to reserve a standard room the night before since they had another event going on. Unfortunately, the TV in that room never connected to their WiFi network, so we just set it as artwork and used our iPad for entertainment. We reserved the Cottage for the day of the wedding, which was perfect as a "getting ready"/ hang out area for the groomsmen. The TV there worked well and had no issues. The front door stuck a bit so you had to put some extra effort into closing it all the way. The Cottage is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for everyone to relax and be comfortable.

We’re looking forward to staying here again in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
