Sarah is such a wonderful person who really tries to help you make your wedding dreams come true without charging you an arm and a leg like most places. She has a lot of decorations to save you time and money and she allows you use plenty of time to get ready and set up so you're not stressed on your big day. This place is more than just a cute venue, it's a stress reliever! -

With a touch of old-world charm in the middle of a bustling Orange County, The French Estate is a wonderful place to gather loved ones for a beautiful wedding or special event. -

Beautiful venue with a variety of backgrounds, textures, and lighting. The house is full of charm and character. The lush greenery provides a nice contrast while the market lights are a nice accent at night. Given that it is in a residential area, parking is limited (but there's a shuttle) and end time is earlier than at most venues (something to keep in mind if you want to party hard). I did not use the backyard patio, so I can't comment on that. I did use the one indoors, and it was impeccably clean. My bride did not hire the onsite coordinator, but Karen was present and she was very helpful and accomodating to my photo team and I. -

My husband and I are so happy we found The French Estate! We fell in love with the venue because it had so much character and charm. It was absolutely perfect for our laid-back backyard wedding!
This venue was also quite affordable and included unlimited use of the venue from 11am until 9pm, tables and chairs, and an Old Town Trolley to transport guests from an off-site parking area to the venue.
We aren't really DJ people and didn't care so much about whether people danced at our wedding, but we were a little sad that the sound system blew out from the wedding the night before ours. Sarah provided us with an amp and tried... -

Brenna Sent on 10/06/2018This is possibly the BEST place to have your wedding in Orange County. I had passed by this place too many times to count and decided when I got engaged, this is where the wedding would be. Sarah was wonderful to work with, the whole discussion and planning was smooth, our date was wide open (hint, book really early), and everything we were hoping to do was fine by her.
The only challenge for people who are more partiers than we are is that the venue does have you turn off the music at 9pm because it is in a neighborhood (but tbh, I was so ready for bed by about that time). The day of the wedding... -

Vinele Sent on 02/16/2014Sarah has such a beautiful home and runs such a wonderful business. We were so lucky to stumble upon this amazing place and share our wedding day with our friends and family there. Margie and the rest of Sarah's team were super accommodating and helpful. There's also a special deal that sarah has with a local catering and cake company. You won't be disappointed - everything turne out beautifully! Thank you! -

Emily Sent on 06/18/2012We found The French Estate by accident, but we fell in love with it. Sarah is amazing in her abilities as a wedding planner/hostess and took care of us through the entire lead up to the big day. The landscaping is gorgeous and the backyard, once it's set up, is like a fairy tale. We couldn't have done better to find a venue that suited our vision and needs. -

Cate Sent on 01/02/2010I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED this venue. Sarah was amazing and so helpful at answering those random questions that I had about anything. The venue itself was so charming and perfect for our vintage theme. I loved everything about the venue - especially that the packages were so inexpensive for our tight budget and that we could bring in our own alcohol. I would recommend this venue time and time again to anyone looking for something with a lot of charm without breaking the bank. -

Marcie Sent on 01/08/2012The French Estate is a cute and rustic elegant bed and breakfast. If you are going for that chic, DIY feel, book this place, many have, I heard she's almost booked entirely for the year of 2012 already!!! Sarah is super chill and such a calming force, perfect for that hectic day! She conducted the wedding rehearsal (something I could not have done with so many bridesmaids and groomsmen:17!) She went beyond her duties to make sure everything would go as best as it could... I got married in November of 2011 there and right after a rain storm episode so it got so chilly at night and I wasnt able to afford the heaters, but she took out... -

Felt At Home
Sarah opens her home to couples so that they can create amazing memories on the biggest day of their lives. She did just that for us. She was so flexible with our plans during the pandemic when we had to down size our guest count, incredibly helpful, and a pleasure to work with. She takes great care of her grounds and they were well kept. It is a gorgeous venue with plenty of our door space! -
