Working with OCMA as the venue of one of our recent weddings was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. As a wedding planner, I've worked with my fair share of venues across Southern California and beyond, and I can honestly say OCMA stood out to me as one of the best we've worked with. Not only is the space aesthetically stunning, Sierra and her team took such amazing care of us and provided excellent support throughout the planning process. Sierra was so easy to communicate with to coordinate all the details leading up to the event -- and on the wedding day, she was So helpful and hands on, providing us with much more day-of assistance than we're use to receiving from most venue teams. We even had an unexpected 180 change in weather with some sporadic rain on the morning of the wedding. Sierra's team was so on top of helping us deal with this curveball proactively, and the show went on seamlessly. The whole wedding ceremony ran so smoothly in large part due to all the preparation and support that Sierra and her team provided. We at Grand Entrance affairs highly recommend choosing OCMA as your venue for your next special event, and we look forward to working with them -- hopefully soon!

OCMA was an amazing wedding venue to work at. Been in the industry for a number of years, we've DJ'd venues all across California but found OCMA to our favorite one yet. The staff was wonderful to work with and the acoustic sound that this venue was able to produce was astounding. Our couple had the night of their lives here. Definitely OC's hippest new wedding venue right now and a hidden gem that probably won't be hidden much longer.

This review is for the hiring and communication of the venue. The venue isn't open yet so I can't speak on how it goes but I can speak to the professionalism and responsiveness thu...

s far. I chose this venue for its uniqueness. I was able to walk the site on a hard hat tour and so far it looks beautiful and the space is wide open on the third floor. I absolutely love the caterer (as it is already one of my favorite restaurants in Orange County). If you are looking for a venue that will be a once in a lifetime for most people, I highly recommend looking here. The architecture is beautiful and allowing guests to walk through galleries during cocktail hour will give my wedding the extra pizzazz I was looking for.
