About

The Villa Del Sol courtyard is a one of a kind, welcoming al fresco oasis nestled in the heart of Downtown Fullerton.

This original Spanish Colonial historic landmark with its rich architecture and alluring center courtyard make it the perfect venue for an outdoor wedding and reception or any special event. To be reserved for two hours or the full rental time of seven hours, until midnight.

Beautifully landscaped with islands of palm trees, bubbling fountain, greenery and flowers, the courtyard also boasts picture perfect archways, wrought-iron railings and towering turrets amidst the three stories surrounding the charming courtyard. There are many additional picturesque backdrops adjacent to the Villa Del Sol such as the ivy covered breezeway just off Wilshire on the south side of the venue.

The second floor terrace is an awesome attribute to the Villa Del Sol, guests can visit the terrace and enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before taking their seats on the first level for the reception. Larger events, up to 250 guests, can utilize the entire courtyard for dinner seating, first floor and terrace. Festive market lights across the courtyard will cast a magical glow over the scene as your guests dine and dance under the stars!

The venue, staff and catering was excellent. My husband and I could not be happier with all the services provided. All our friends and family praised the service. We will continue to recommend Villa Del Sol and Café Hidalgo to others. Dena and Ruth are awesome! Thank you again!

It was love at first sight with the Villa del Sol venue! As soon as we walked in, we could see the possibilities for an amazing celebration there. It is truly a blank canvas with the bonus of lush vegetation and beautiful spanish architecture. I love the option of verticle space and a venue like Villa del Sol offers dimension for your photos, and staircases, archways and little nooks to really personalize the space and wow your family and friends. Our wedding was a dream! Everything sparkled and glowed as the sun set and the candles were lit and the string lighting came on. I will never forget walking into the reception post set-up for the first time. Just beautiful!

Ruth Davies was lovely to work with. She was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Thanks Ruth for your timely responses to my countless emails!

We had our wedding at this gorgeous venue this past September. My wife was looking everywhere for the right price but with the beautiful surroundings. Once she saw The Villa Del Sol there was no other comparison! The price was perfect and the fact that you get all the wonderful greenery makes this Spanish style court yard the perfect outdoor experience. The young lady in charge of the Venus events is Ruth, she was absolutely perfect. She answered every question very quickly, not to mention giving my wife some calming help when she felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond for us. We had a problem with our favors last minute and she was happy to help which saved us so much stress and worry. We don't know what we would have done without her. She actually cares about the bride and groom, and she loves her job! She manages the events in her venue to the T. This came in very handy when our florist had the wrong date for our wedding, Ruth and our other coordinator were right on top of it. They got flowers there within the hour, and Ruth herself was cutting and making flower arrangements just so my wife would not have to worry. The greenery in this case helped us more the you could imagine. Since the florist screwed up, we didn't have all that my wife wanted there, but all the greenery and flowers at the location more then made up for that. If you want simple, this venue is perfect, if you want extravagant, this Venu is perfect! Thank you again Ruth for every thing you did for me and my bride, we will never forget it. We love you, and GO LIONS!!!
