Beautiful Place for a Special Event
We recently attended a wedding at the Chapel of Orange. It was one of the nicest events I've been to in a long time. Very convenient to have the ceremony and reception together. As a guest but also in the wedding party I'm not sure of the pricing aspect but I do know the food was excellent! Each table had a "theme" and was uniquely decorated right down to the china. Absolutely stunning!
Cheryl and Melissa know their stuff... very helpful and professional... did everything to make everyone's night so memorable!! -

When my now husband and I began our wedding planning, we immediately knew that we had to do something different. We were faced with the challenge of finding a venue and vendors who could think outside of the typical wedding box in order to help execute our vision. The minute we walked into the Chapel of Orange and met Cheryl and Melissa, we knew we found our wedding "home".
Not only were we provided with top notch vendors, but ones who appreciated the creativity we challenged them with. Melissa and Cheryl guided us through every step of the way and offered their expertise tailored towards our vision.
Every time I had a question, Cheryl was quick in responding in the most kind and professional way. When the day came, I was astounded to experience the friendliest folks helping to ensure that everything and everyone was where it/they should be and the entire event coasted along seamlessly.
From the custom wedding design and meal tasting, through the ceremony and reception, all the way to our sendoff, we enjoyed the entire process, stress-free. Our guests raved about the venue and staff -- one guest who needed ice to help an injury that occurred several weeks before our wedding was supplied with ice and was able to stay for the entire event. That extra care speaks volumes to the amazing staff at the Chapel of Orange!
We will never forget our wedding day and how beautifully everything came together. Huge thanks to Cheryl, Melissa, and all of the top notch vendors working behind the scenes! -

My husband and I got married at the chapel of Orange on 10/7/2023 and having the chapel of Orange be our wedding location was the best decision!!!! You have the option of having the ceremony either inside the chapel or in the garden. Both are absolutely stunning but I chose the garden. We wanted a whimsical garden ceremony. The reception banquet is so grand! We had 140 people at our wedding and everyone fit great!!! Cheryl and Melissa and their team sealed our decision of choosing the chapel for our wedding. Their professionalism and customer service were 100%. Cheryl has sooo much decor to choose from. Walking through her decor room was a dream. We had so many guest compliment the food, the drinks, the music vibes, the cake, and of course the venue itself. It’s so beautiful. Without Cheryl and Melissa’s help I would have not had a perfect wedding. I could not have asked for a more perfect night. We are so blessed to have gotten married at the chapel. We love Cheryl and Melissa and their entire staff!! ❤️❤️ -

Chapel of Orange
The Chapel of Orange is the best wedding venue in Orange County!! The owner, Cheryl, has the best personality and so much experience which made the whole experience a joy! The venue is beyond charming! It begins with the quaint, welcoming, well decorated garden and welcome table. The banquet room has an old world charm and warmth that creates the best atmosphere. The Chapel of Orange offers several packages that are flexible. You can add on to the packages to meet all your needs, however the basic package includes everything you would need. The prices are lower than other wedding venues. However, this does not mean lower quality and service. The entire staff is professional, kind and great to work with. From the start Cheryl made the whole experience STRESS free. She is absolutely amazing!! I thought I would be overwhelmed to choose decorations and colors. Not with Cheryl around. She asked me my favorite color and within a half an hour she guided me in choosing the most beautiful color scheme, decorations and cake design. She has an entire storage room filled with unique decorations, styles and accent pieces. Coordinating the rest of event was effortless also. She answered all my emails promptly making me always feel at ease. She sent me reminder emails for things like final head count, food choices, payments, etc. Cheryl has a contract with two hotels about two miles from the venue which offer a discount for guests if needed. They were also easy to work with. From the minute we arrived at the Chapel on the day of our event was absolutely magical!! Cheryl was there along with her assistant Melissa. They both had the event running smoothly all evening. The timeline Cheryl provided along with other suggestions was so helpful! We had 82 guests attend. The chef prepared the most delicious appetizers and entrees. The banquet room had plenty of room for our guests, the DJ, the bar and dancing. At the Photo Booth, two photos were printed. One went to the guests and one was placed in a photo album in which guests wrote comments to us. What a special way to remember our day. She sent us off with all our guests lined up in the garden with a bubble machine. Everyone was cheering. It was so special. I more than highly recommend The Chaple of Orange for you wedding!!! It was truley a day we will never forget. -

I wanted to express my gratitude to Cheryl and Melissa for planning and making our wedding so perfect. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and amazing place to have our special day (5/27/2023). When my husband and I began our wedding venue search, we thought it was going to be stressful and expensive. However, we happened upon Chapel of Orange, and they offer an array of wedding packages. We wanted a small ceremony, just under 40 guests. Most other venues have a 50 to 100 guest minimum, but Chapel of Orange had an option for 40 guests, which was just what we needed! Plus, you get to customize your package with what you want. For us, we chose to add on a photographer, video, florals, appetizers, and banquet room. This made the wedding planning process stress free! The package we chose also included the wedding cake and soft drinks. Also, they have very nice decor they use for the tables in the banquet room and the wedding favors table (the only thing my husband and I purchased for our decorations were the pew flowers and flowers for the arch). Melissa did a great job at setting up all the decor! Thank you so much Cheryl and Melissa for making our wedding amazing!! -

This was a beautiful and amazing wedding. This is our 2nd marriage and we didn’t have a wedding. The fairytale that I always wished for. Cheryl and her staff made our wedding superb they highlighted our colors and it’s the wedding of the century. The all inclusive wedding was the right choice. Food cake and entertainment . This is the best price in the west coast. The venue is amazing and charming in Orange County -

,, Sent on 11/01/2021Loveliest Wedding Venue in a historic setting
My daughter’s beautiful wedding at The Chapel of Orange would have never happened had it not been for the amazing efforts of Cheryl Roberts Gale, wedding director and owner of the chapel. Due to our Groom being in the US Marine Corp, we only had two weeks to make it happen.
Luckily, Cheryl had a cancellation, and she was able to take us under her wing. Not only did Cheryl and her wonderful assistant Melissa pull it all together in that timeframe, but they also made it the most beautiful affair. The photographers, the caterers, the florist and the wedding cake bakery were all organized for us. All we had to do is to choose what we wanted. It was so wonderful to be able to focus 100% on my daughter and her groom while they made it all work.
We loved the historic chapel and the lovely garden nestled just steps outside its door. The dining hall has a wonderful rustic elegance. The Chapel of Orange has my highest recommendation.

I had googled, "All Inclusive Wedding Package in California" and the Chapel of Orange popped up! We made an appointment with Cheryl and visited. The neighborhood was beautiful and the chapel was absolutely stunning. From the moment we walked into the chapel, I knew that my husband and I were going to get married there. Cheryl, the owner, was very kind and took her time with us on the tour. The fact that the entire wedding would take place at her chapel was perfect! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception hall, everything was PERFECT! We immediately booked end of October and were set to have our wedding! Cheryl was very responsive all my emails and questions and held my hand the whole way through. She gave me timelines (from 1 year timelines to day of), she provided all her vendors to me (which were all AMAZING), and she provided us with several coordinators. Our goal was to not make a single invited person work on our wedding day. I've been to too many weddings where people came early to set up and stayed late to tear down and that was the last thing we wanted. Cheryl made sure of that. She was extremely accommodating and the sweetest person to have worked with. We feel so blessed to have met her; especially during the time of COVID. She is a wonderful person with a beautiful chapel and an amazing, superstar team. The entire day flowed easily and there was never a single hiccup. I HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend to hold your wedding here! -

Where do I even begin?! Cheryl is a miracle worker and she has the best staff and vendors!! My now husband and I had been engaged forever and were tired of waiting, so when COVID closures seemed to lighten up we decided we wanted to get married before the holidays. We live in Orange and walk the neighborhood often so when we started brainstorming venues I kept thinking back to the Chapel of Orange. It was the only venue we ended up visiting & I was sold! We contacted Cheryl to set up a visit on 6/18, took our tour on 6/24 and had our deposit in by 6/28. After that it was full speed ahead. We had a 12 month timeline to fit into 3 and it was way easier to do than you would expect and that is all thanks to Cheryl.
I love so many things about the Chapel - it is charming and exactly what we were looking for. We chose the Charming Affair which is an all-inclusive package for up to 50 guests. You can get married in either the Chapel or the garden and have your reception in either the garden or the banquet room. We went with garden ceremony and reception in the banquet hall. You have a few options for cake and florals, which really makes it easy for someone like me who is indecisive and overwhelmed by decisions, not to mention our expedited timeline. Both our cake and florals turned out exactly how I envisioned! The catering company she works with is soo good! I would go there for dinner if they had a restaurant! And the DJ company was so great and easy to work with! All of the vendors know the chapel very well so everything is really seamless.
When I say all-inclusive I mean it! Cheryl loves what she does & has a collection of all things wedding – aisle runners, linens, chargers, centerpieces, flower girl baskets, ring bearer boxes and pillows, card boxes, cake stands, chairs, the list goes on and on. You can bring your own officiant or use one of their references at no additional charge. There are things you can add on if you so choose. You can add unlimited beer & wine for a very small fee, which we did. We had a photographer friend in mind who couldn’t make it so we added that on as well. We added an extra hour onto our reception and I am so glad that we did! Our guests had a great time and were so complimentary of the chapel!
