A Historic Garden Venue for Weddings & Receptions

The Heritage Museum of Orange County offers a uniquely charming setting for garden weddings and receptions. Nestled within nearly twelve acres of lush greenery and historic beauty, this venue provides a picturesque backdrop for your special day. Designed to reflect a 19th-century country estate, the museum grounds are perfect for couples seeking an elegant outdoor wedding experience in Orange County.

Versatile Ceremony & Reception Spaces

Couples enjoy the privacy and versatility of the museum’s expansive grounds. With several Victorian-era buildings, beautifully landscaped gardens, and serene natural settings, the estate allows you to tailor your ceremony and reception layout to fit your vision. From intimate garden vows to open-air receptions under the stars, this venue offers multiple ceremony sites and endless options for memorable photographs.

A Cultural & Historical Experience

As one of Southern California’s most unique cultural and natural history centers, the Heritage Museum blends historic ambiance with educational significance. The historic plaza features buildings from the 1890s surrounded by vibrant floral gardens and citrus groves. The renowned Kellogg House, a local landmark and longtime favorite for school field trips, adds further charm to the venue’s setting and story.

Beyond Weddings: A Living Legacy

In addition to hosting weddings and private events, the museum supports the community through educational programs, guided tours, themed fundraisers, and seasonal activities. It also serves as a guardian of Santa Ana’s last remaining freshwater marsh—a rare ecological treasure once abundant throughout Orange County.

The Kellogg House: A Love Story Preserved

Built in 1898 by Hiram Clay Kellogg as a wedding gift for his bride, the Kellogg House stands as a lasting symbol of love and legacy. Three generations of the Kellogg family lived in the home before donating it to the museum, where it continues to serve as a centerpiece for events and education.
