The Chapel of Orange

My husband and I are blessed to worship at Hope Center of Christ every Sunday. Our church leases The Chapel of Orange, a beautiful and historic Church. The grounds, chapel and fellowship hall are perfectly maintained. We love our landlady, Cheryl, who gives her all to each event held at the Chapel of Orange.

Beautiful chapel! Cute little patio. There reception room was very exquisite and charming! Very vintage!

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!

Chapel of Orange was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating through all phases of the wedding process. They went above and beyond to help even through personal/ family trials and tribulations. The organization was seamless and they took most of the work off us, all we had to do was tell the caterers what we wanted. Definitely a great value and highly recommend!

My daughter was married in a beautiful wedding on Nov. 6, 2022, at the Chapel of Orange, in Orange, California. This venue deserves the five-star rating I have given it, and more! Although her wedding was planned in less than six months, Cheryl and Melissa at the Chapel made sure it was the wedding of her dreams. This venue offers customized, all-inclusive packages that make it easy to fit all of the pieces together in a cohesive, personalized, convenient wedding day without sacrificing selection, quality and individuality. Her package included everything: florist, bakery, catering, photographer, and DJ along with the gorgeous chapel with stained glass windows, enchanting garden, elegant reception hall with place setting decor, and warm, understanding, experienced coordination and planning. She had wonderful choices between two florists, two bakeries, and a wide range of catered food. She chose “Oceanic Flowers” and was able to see her inspiration photos come to life in colorful, unique, and beautiful arrangements. “Butter N Cream” created a classy, delicious, made-to-order wedding cake. After a special tasting session, the couple was excited to choose the appetizers and a plated wedding meal they knew their guests would enjoy from California Fresh Catering. (They were also able to accommodate allergies and special diets including vegetarian, kosher, and gluten-free). “Ensemble Events” handled the DJ duties and managed the personally selected music to set the tone and move things along for a joyful evening of celebration. The friendly photographer, Kristina Yorks, and her assistant, patiently and professionally shot all of the photos/poses we asked for, and many more, to capture the entire wedding from start to finish. Cheryl and Melissa from “Once Upon A Fairytale, LLC” walked us through our planning step by step, and coordinated the actual day of the wedding marvelously. Having professionals to guide this emotionally charged event from the ideas/vision stage to completion is invaluable…I’m not sure how we would have made it without them!! Their kindness and patient help and coaching were so appreciated. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently and they dealt with issues that came up with professionalism and flexibility. We received outstanding quality and value for our investment. I am happy and proud to say that my daughter’s wedding at the Chapel of Orange will be remembered as magical, beautiful, and a “perfect” celebration of the bride and groom’s love and commitment. A Heartfelt Thank you to Cheryl, Melissa, and “Chapel of Orange”!!!
