SoCal Reception Venue that allows outside catering

Bonbon26, on April 27, 2014 at 10:11 PM Posted in Planning 1 6

I am getting married this fall. It will be a beach wedding in the OC area. I am trying to find a place to have a reception that does not force you to use their catering. We are having a very ethnic wedding since my husband to be is Assyrian. So the whole pasta, chicken, beef or fish thing for $70,00 a head is not going to cut it. We want to serve Mediterranean/Greek, Middle Eastern type food.

Does anyone know if a reception location that can cater to a more ethnic menu, or of a location that allows you to bring your own catering near the Newport area?

Thanks Smiley smile

    I am getting married at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. I know this is far away from the beach but they dont have a catering company on site and allow you to choose from different outside caterers....and the venue is beautiful! I have seen photos of many different types of weddings held there and I'm sure if you email them they can tell you what options they have on different types of cuisine and caterers. Then you can contact the caterer yourself and they might even have other venue suggestions if that one is too far away. I think the Ocean Institute in Dana Point allows outside catering as well. Hope that helps!

    If you go to eventwire.com I think you can put in your search criteria that you want to bring in outside catering

    Have you looked into the French Estate in Orange? It's an old Victorian home owned by a lady who actually lives there. It's very charming and they allow you to bring in your own vendors. I actually toured this venue and it's beautiful in person! Check it out.
