The Chapel of Orange

We had the most incredible experience with the Wedding Chapel of Orange, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning of the planning process to the big day itself, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and warmth. A massive, heartfelt thank you to Cheryl and Melissa, who were both absolutely amazing! They made sure every single detail was perfectly in place, taking all the stress off our shoulders so we could truly focus on and enjoy every moment. Their communication was flawless, their coordination was spot-on, and they treated us like family. The entire vendor team they provided was top-tier. Pastor Drew delivered a ceremony that was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and perfectly captured the spirit of our love.         DJ David was amazing—he kept the energy alive, read the room perfectly, and had everyone having a fantastic time. Dana, our photographer, was absolutely flawless. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her eye for detail is unmatched. The venue itself is stunning, but it is the people who make this place truly magical. If you want a stress-free, beautiful wedding surrounded by a team that genuinely cares about your day, look no further. Thank you all for making our wedding unforgettable!

Our wedding experience through the Chapel of Orange (thanks to Melissa & Cheryl) from our very first consult visit through to its conclusion was enjoyable, positively memorable, and most importantly - SO EASY!!! Our checklist of required items that a wedding venue had to have for us to consider moving forward with a wedding including but not limited to; 1) an organic set of barebones / overall aesthetic that would pair well with a playful and lighthearted whimsical evening themed wedding aesthetic that in no way resembled the typical cookie cutter wedding 2) efficiently organized with strong vendor relations and/or recommendations, and 3) cost effective in the context of a smaller guest list of about 70. From the thoughtfully salvaged bricks from a to-be torn down structure in Europe that made up the archways of the reception area to the beautiful garden area rich with lush plants flowers nestled cozily between the ceremony and reception areas, the Chapel of Orange had checked off every box we had without us having to compromise. The well oiled machine that was Melissa and Cheryl far fostered a positive wedding planning experience as they handled EVERYTHING in such an unflappable manner. In addition to coordinating and scheduling design appointments, Melissa coordinated the vendors running their part correctly from the florist, to the videographer, to the Photo Booth, to the DJ, to the caterer, to the cake designer, and all the way down the list to the highly talented photographer Ashley Paige. Melissa also gave us a month by month wedding checklist to follow along to at the very start which made the ongoing planning process easy to follow while also simultaneously reducing any wedding related anxiety stemming from the feeling that we had forgotten some important detail along the way. Melissa’s incredibly consistent and reliable communication as well as clear direction cut any unnecessary internal and external noise that went into the wedding process. Dates for big decisions such as our food tasting, table design, and final rehearsal were planned well in advance, allowing us to do nothing more than be present and direct the final decisions. Additionally, Melissa facilitated for the florist consult date and the DJ online phone meeting to verify lighting and song choices. The day of rehearsal, we dropped off all our supplemental DIY designs for our themed wedding and Melissa handled the rest of set-up. The day of the wedding was smooth like butter; Melissa had… 1) our parking spaces reserved with bright orange cones for us as well members of the wedding party, 2) boutonnieres ready and pinned members of the wedding party as they arrived 3) both the groom and bride’s prep rooms staged and ready to go, 4) and all vendors on standby and ready for instruction. I have no doubt that Melissa handled so many more fires behind the scenes as my wife and I didn’t have a single hiccup or moment where we had to step away to address a concern. It was marvelous, and the best day of our lives. TLDR: The Chapel of Orange runs like a well cared for and harmonious machine headed by Melissa and Cheryl. At each step of the way, they took the feedback we had the day of our wedding, executed the upper limit of potential we had for our whimsical garden wedding.
