Venues & Event Spaces in Santa Ana, CA

“Cute lil spot! This was my second time attending here for a movie.

They always have lots of cool contemporary independent films and lots of awesome throwback movies.”

“What a fun afternoon! Great planes and crafts to see and the docents are so lovely, could talk to them all day, with first hand accounts about the crafts and service. This is a real gem in our neighborhood and should be supported.”

“We have been here twice for birthday celebrations. What a great venue! Lots of room, excellent service staff, nice dance floor, audiovisual setup good…..all in all a very nice place to hold events.”

“My wife and I from VN and come hera in an autum day. The museum very nice and shows almost history about native people. So many things of they life, stone, art. Let's come and ẹnoy”

“What a hidden historical gem in Orange County!

It's a large area and you feel like you have stepped 130 years back in history when you you walk through the iron gates into the museum area.

The Kellogg House is preserved exactly like it was over a hundred years ago when the family lived in it. This staircase in it is amazing, and the house layout is very interesting, including the third mezzanine layer.

The Maag house is being restored, and it needs a lot of work. So feel free to make a donation either online or in person ?.

There's also a living breathing blacksmith shop where they provide the ongoing training, and they also do presentations at events.

Behind the blacksmith shop there's a farm trail, where they have farm equipment spread along the trail, along with descriptions.

The Farm trail loops around and ends up by the gold mine.

All in all, it's a nice way to spend a few hours and to feel like you're back in the late 1800s or early 1900s, with all the plants and Greenery surrounding your.

As soon as you walk out into the parking lot, you are in the Santa Ana industrial area, with a school on the other side?”

“We hosted our daughter's quinceañera at The 1912, and the entire experience was absolutely exceptional—from our very first planning meeting all the way through the night of the event.

Romina, the Event Manager is professional, attentive, and incredibly dedicated. She answered every question I had, offered thoughtful recommendations, and guided us through each step with so much patience and care. On the day of the event, everything ran perfectly. Thanks to Romina and her team, I was able to relax, enjoy the celebration, and spend time with our guests—something every parent hopes for during such an important event. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the drinks were plentiful.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better event manager.”

“We're from NorCal visiting Orange County and decided to take a day to visit a few stationery shops to look at fountain pen ink. We discovered this shop on Google, and I think this was the best stop on our trip.

First off, the workers are simply a joy. They were both knowledgable, and friendly.

Second, M.Lovewell had the best selection of fountain pen inks from Asia we've ever seen. (Apologies to the two Mai-do locations in SF's Nihonmachi and Santana Row in San Jose, but you've been definitively dethroned!) M.Lovewell had enough ink to fill 4 separate swatch books. Not everything was in stock, but we understand that inks can be like that, especially from smaller companies that produce inks in batches on a rotating schedule.

That being said, being able to actually see inks as opposed to browsing pictures on the internet is really the way to go. Photos are extremely unreliable when it comes to color. Several inks I was interested in turned out to look vastly different in person, and others I had no interest in ended up coming home with me.

We left with twice as many inks as we set out to buy, no regrets.

Tip: Use your phone to take photos of the ink swatch cards you are interested in before going to the counter. It's the quickest way to have the brand and ink names, along with a color reference for the staff. There are hundreds of inks and finding them again inside the swatch books can be time consuming.”

“I have wanted to get married at the Hacienda ever since I was a little girl and the night was everything I could have dreamed of. The staff was wonderful and they handled every detail of the night spectacularly. I couldn't have wished for a better night and a bonus, the food was amazing. Definitely recommend booking the entire venue and you won't regret your choice. Thank you so much staff of the Hacienda for such a magical day❤️

“The first thing I want to say is that they always receive you with great kindness and that they treat us all with respect, be they children, adolescents or adults. Thank you for the services you offer to the community.”

“My daughter just returned from spending one week at this Holiday Inn while competing for Junior Nationals. The hotel also catered food for the team. She was so impressed by the attentiveness of the staff from the front desk, to housekeeping, to the food service. The kitchen staff adapted the menu based on what they observed the team eating, such as not mixing the fruit since the kids were separating the fruit as they served themselves. She also said the food was delicious, especially the breakfast!”

“The musicians were nothing short of extraordinary, delivering a performance that was breathtaking from the very first note to the final encore. The music was pure magic—rich, emotional, and absolutely captivating. The theater’s unique location and ambiance elevated the entire experience, making it feel truly special and immersive. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable evening and an exceptional value that far exceeded my expectations.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard by Marriott in Santa Ana, and the highlight of our visit was the phenomenal service we received from Kevin at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, Kevin went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and comfortable. He was professional, kind, and attentive, answering all our questions with a smile and offering great local recommendations.

Our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel’s location was perfect for our needs. But it was Kevin’s outstanding hospitality that truly made our stay memorable. He turned what could have been a standard hotel experience into something special.

Thank you, Kevin, and the entire Courtyard Santa Ana team for making our trip so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Had a great stay here. The staff went above and beyond to ensure this was a good experience. Clean room, free parking, and a decent breakfast. If you are staying near John Wayne Airport, this is probably the best bang for your buck you’re gonna find.”
