Ten stars!! I highly recommend the Charleston for any type of event you would like to host. The Charleston was the venue for my father’s celebration of life service, and everything was wonderful! Summer and Larry were so great, helping me with the room selection, table set up and design, food choices, bar selections, and audio/visual needs. They were very helpful every step along the way, and their communication and response time was excellent. The venue is incredibly beautiful, glamorous, and plush. We were in the grand ballroom and the adjacent bar areas. So many people shared with me how impressed they were with the venue, how great the food tasted, and how nice the staff was. I am so grateful that the Charleston was recommended to me. Pleased to be the first memorial service that they hosted. Summer and Larry helped make sure that my father’s celebration of life was done properly, and that it was a true celebration indeed. They were so great keeping with my theme, that even the ceiling was highlighted in purple! Hold your event there, you will not be sorry!

If you have an event to coordinate in the OC area, you have to look at the Charleston! My family and I were looking for a venue to celebrate my 30th birthday, and the Charleston was our first pick. Summer and Emily both assisted me and they were so kind and professional.
We were able to do multiple walkthroughs of the venue, and the Charleston boasts five different lounges and ballrooms, including a speakeasy on the third floor of the building. We reserved the Foxtrot Lounge, which was this beautiful 1100-square foot space with comfy couches and a faux fireplace. The venue is located in a historical building as well, which adds to its appeal.
I worked with Summer and Emily to figure out table and couch layout, and they do catering internally as well. Their catering and alcohol packages are extensive and quite affordable! You are also able to get food catered from an outside vendor, but you'll have to get it cleared with the venue first.
The food we catered from the Charleston was delicious, and the staff that were onsite during our event were amazing and polite. I want to give a shout out to Summer, Emily, Chandler, and Nick for being so amazing and for helping me celebrate my birthday!
I highly recommend the Charleston for any birthday, bridal shower, bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding, reception you plan to have!

Hands down the most beautiful venue I have seen. Larry, Summer and Jeff are a dream team. My husband and I were the first wedding at the Charleston and we couldn't be happier. They exceeded our expectations. I still think about our wedding day and get goosebumps. The ceremony, the bar areas, the bridal suite, the reception, the sweetheart table, the flowers, the photobooth, the food, everything was perfect. Thank you Charleston for making our day so special and beautiful!!

The Charleston is an authentic venue that is ideal for any occasion and celebration. I love the vintage decorations that put you in the mindset to relax and party and indulge.
The owners and staff are amazing to work with, and really bend over backwards to make you feel like a VIP guest.
It was close and easy to park, and in such a charming and historic part of downtown Fullerton… that your event will have an extra touch of being unique.
I highly recommend The Charleston for your next event!
