Words cannot express how happy and grateful we are for our experience at the Pasea hotel! Our day was perfect down to the last detail and so enjoyable for both us and our guests.

We had our cocktail hour in the Ocean Lawn, and the wedding reception in the Sapphire ballroom. We worked with our wonderful wedding planner Maria Tran of Modest Magnolia, and we also worked with Pasea's event services manager Erica Knight. We had Furiwa cater the Vietnamese food at our reception.
Soon before checking in the hotel, Erica informed us that they had upgraded us to two adjoining ocean view rooms. The rooms and views from the balconies were stunning, and it was very convenient for the bridal party to share adjoining rooms. When we walked into our room, we were greeted with a picture of us as a couple, a charcuterie board, and a bottle of wine, which made us feel so warm and welcome. The in-room dining and room service were top notch. From the valet to the bellman to the front desk staff, everyone who greeted us were so welcoming and professional.
The grounds around Pasea are beautiful and a great place to take bridal party and couples photos. During the cocktail hour, all our guests were so impressed with the beautiful ocean view lawn, which offers expansive views of the ocean, a lot of space for guests to mingle, and firepits for the guests to keep warm if needed. The Sapphire Ballroom is also beautiful and expansive, and it serves as a great canvas for however you'd like to decorate your reception ballroom. During the reception, the service from all the staff was excellent. In fact, we were very pleasantly surprised that they added extra hors d'oeuvre extra kids meals for the little ones too!
Our wedding reception was everything we wanted to be and more! The Pasea Hotel and Spa is a one-of-a-kind venue to host a wedding ceremony and/or reception, and we would highly recommend you take a look if you are looking to have your wedding in Orange County.
