Griffith House

Anaheim Chapel – Historic Griffith House is a charming Spanish-style estate tucked into central Anaheim, offering chapel, church, and garden settings all on one property. With its historic architecture, landscaped lawns, and flexible ceremony and reception options, it’s a welcoming choice for couples who want everything in one convenient, photogenic location.

Historic Chapel, Sanctuary and Spanish-Style House

At the heart of the property is the historic Griffith House, a vintage Spanish-style residence with white stucco walls, red-tile roof, and classic details that lend a timeless feel to your photos. The intimate chapel features original woodwork and stained glass that create a warm, traditional backdrop for smaller ceremonies. Just steps away, the larger church sanctuary offers soaring open-beam ceilings, a semi-circle of pews, large side windows, and a dramatic focal point with stained glass and an indoor rock waterfall and pond near the altar.

Garden Lawns, Fountain and Outdoor Ceremonies

Outside, the grounds open into expansive lawn areas surrounded by tall trees, trellises, and landscaped gardens. A classic fountain and shaded garden nooks add romance and variety to your ceremony and portrait locations. Couples can choose to host vows outdoors beneath a wedding arch, then transition seamlessly into a lawn reception or cocktail hour without ever leaving the property. The layout makes it easy to mix and match spaces, whether you want a chapel ceremony with a garden reception, an indoor church ceremony with outdoor dining, or a full outdoor celebration under the open sky.

Flexible Reception Spaces and Full-Day Use

The estate is designed to host both ceremony and reception for guest counts ranging from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations. Outdoor receptions take place on the garden lawns under a canopy of large trees lit with market lights. Our events enjoy the convenience of keeping ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing all within a short walk of one another, making it easy for guests of all ages.

Catering, Rentals and Coordination Support

The Griffith House offers a variety of packages that include basic rentals such as tables and chairs, and professional coordination support. Outside catering is welcomed.

Easy Access and Guest Comfort

Located in Anaheim with a large on-site parking lot, the property is convenient for guests coming from all over Orange County and beyond. Wheelchair-accessible pathways connect the main spaces.
