I originally wanted to get married in court or have a very small, brief ceremony, but now I am so glad my husband talked me out of it! The Chapel of Orange is such a beautiful, handsome venue, and we received compliment after compliment on it at our wedding. But really one of the best aspects of the chapel is the amazing owner and director, Cheryl Gale. My father, who likes things to be big and grandiose, was originally dismissive of our venue choice until he met Cheryl. You can tell she's truly passionate about what she does, and hearing about her undertaking to buy, renovate, and refurbish the chapel and dance hall, as well as coordinating the many details of all of these weddings is nothing short of remarkable. Above all, she wants to give you the wedding of your dreams. Cheryl and her staff were incredibly responsive and helpful. Cheryl promptly answered every small and silly question I had, be it through email, phone, text, or in person. She did everything she could to accommod... Read moreate our every request; for instance, when I showed her pictures of decorations I liked, she tried to find similar decorations and even went so far as to buy napkins in a different color for us (even though she already has many options). You can tell she's always trying to improve the experience for her brides, as she recently renovated the bridal suite and installed misters in the garden area for couples getting married during the hotter months. I love that we were able to select a wedding package and then add on/remove items, which made it so we got exactly what we wanted at a very, very reasonable price. We ended up going with the Ultimate Fairy tale wedding package, and it was such a good choice. Cheryl made everything so easy and set us up with an officiant, photographer, DJ, bakery, caterer, and florist. We had some difficulties with our first caterer, and when I told Cheryl about it, she set us up with an amazing new catering company within the hour! We received numerous compliments on the food on our wedding day - even my dad was extremely impressed. Thanks to Cheryl and her staff, our wedding day went off without a hitch, and we were able to just relax and enjoy it. One of our guests, who is very stern and rarely talks, remarked that "this is exactly how a wedding should be." I couldn't agree more. Truly a phenomenal venue, owner, staff, and vendors. Thank you so much for giving us a wedding that was better than anything we had ever imagined.

After months of searching for a place to hold our ceremony within our budget in L.A. county, we had to expand our search criteria in nearby counties. Luckily, looking at the site of Chapel of Orange, we fell in love with its adorable architectural design & garden. The venue director, Cheryl, was professional, one of the nicest people we’ve met, and she made sure everything was on queue for our wedding day! She made sure that our wedding was beautiful and that everything went smoothly. During the times of the coronavirus, they did take the temperature of the guests that came in the chapel and provide hand sanitizer, to adhere to the governor’s orders and to keep everyone safe. Our guests loved the church. Our photographer that was recommended by Cheryl was able to stream the wedding for those that couldn’t come physically. There are different packages that you can choose from, we chose the ceremony only package. This includes a one-hour rehearsal, 1-2 days prior to your wedding, a... Read more two-hour time frame at the venue (where the first hour is to have the bride & groom get ready and get their photos taken), licensed officiant, day-of-ceremony coordinator, and music on the chapel sound system. Of course, you can add more things with an additional cost that is, so we kept it simple and it was still beautiful. My husband and I added a nerdy touch to our wedding ceremony through our songs that we chose. The songs that we chose for them to be played for our wedding party was the Jurassic Park theme by the Piano guys, now the bride going down the aisle was A thousand year by the piano guys, and when the groom & bride exited we played the throne room and end title Star Wars by John Williams. We love to thank Cheryl for giving us the opportunity to have our wedding ceremony at the church during these uncertain times.

The Chapel of Orange saved our wedding and made it more memorable than what I could have imagined. I was pleased with everything and how everything came out. It was a stress free experience. I wished we weren't going through a pandemic because I would have loved to have a bigger wedding, but it was still a wonderful wedding and I wouldn't change one thing. It was prefect and its all to the staff at Chapel of Orange. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day prefect and beautiful.

Everything about our day was perfect and stress-free. Cheryl is a lovely lady who went above and beyond to ensure it was special. All our guests complimented the historic and gothic beauty of the chapel and grounds. We wouldn't have done anything different and are very grateful to Cheryl and each of the vendors with whom she works. Thank you!

We had our wedding at the Chapel of Orange in March, right before the pandemic shutdown. We were absolutely amazed by the professionalism and organization of the chapel’s staff. Cheryl and Berkenda were incredibly attentive and patient with every and any request we had made. Throughout the event, they made sure that we kept to our schedule and that we did not worry about a thing. In the months preceding the wedding day, Berkenda and Cheryl walked us through every step of the planning process and were very helpful in answering all of our questions. The thought of planning a wedding is often daunting at the start, but doing the all-inclusive package at the Chapel made the planning process a fun and efficient experience. The Chapel has great relationships with vendors ranging from catering to DJ to photography to flowers and even cake, it takes the stress out of finding each individually and gave us more time to enjoy each step of the process. One of the best things about our wed... Read moreding day is that everything went perfectly; smooth and without hiccups or complication. It was so magical to see each piece come together in such harmony, it truly was such an incredible day and neither of us had any reason to worry or stress about any of the many arrangements and details, we simply enjoyed the moment. Our guests enjoyed the occasion too, all impressed with the venue and loving their experience. All of our guests raved that every part of the event was absolutely beautiful and elegant. The food, the decor, the flowers, the music - everything was perfect, and customized to our interests. We truly had our dream wedding and we could not have imagined a more magical day.

Cheryl at the Chapel of Orange goes above and beyond to bring brides’ visions to life! Despite all the changes to our wedding due to COVID-19, Cheryl continued to reassure us that our special day would be perfect. She worked hard to ensure that all guests were kept safe and healthy while also paying attention to the smallest details that made our wedding perfect! I came across the Chapel of Orange on Facebook, and I am so grateful that I did! It truly is a gem. Wonderful staff, catering, cake, and photographer recommendations. Cheryl takes so much of the stress out of wedding planning. I will always be thankful for her and all she did to make our wedding an amazing day!

From the moment I went on a tour of this venue I knew it was magical and perfect! Unfortunately due to our guest count it wasn’t a fit BUT when COVID hit we had to cancel our big wedding and I was scrambling to find a plan B. I emailed Cheryl and asked if by any chance we would still get married on our desired date at the Chapel of Orange and she was able to get us in and make our day perfect! She went above and beyond to make our day special and beautiful. The decor of the building itself is so special and will give your wedding photos the perfect backdrop. Im so thankful in the midst of a pandemic we were still able to make our wedding day special thanks to Cheryl and the Chapel of Orange, thank you!!

I absolutely recommend getting married at the Chapel of Orange. I called and spoke with Cheryl who is amazing. She answered all my questions and more. At that time we didn’t know if we were even going to get the chance to have our wedding. Our original plans were dismantled by COVID. Planning a COVID wedding wasn’t easy. It seemed as if there were endless hurdles. We were trying to adjust the plans with some of the original vendors to our updated ones which was a little tricky. The one thing we didn’t have any problems with was the Chapel of Orange and working with Cheryl. She made sure that everything was set up just the way that we wanted and even calmed me down about my anxieties of potential issues. I can’t say enough about her. She loves what she does and she is amazing! They have many different wedding packages that you can choose from. You can customize them to fit your needs. We did the ceremony only and found a local restaurant to have dinner at afterwards. We were t... Read morerying to stick with our original date. At the time of booking our wedding the time slot to do a small reception at the chapel of Orange wasn’t available. My only advise is if that’s what you want, check in with Cheryl periodically for changes to their availability. Their reception hall is beautiful. If you love character and charm you will love the Chapel of Orange! Our day turned out beautifully. Even though it wasn’t what we originally planned, we are extremely happy with how it turned out. Thank you Cheryl for all that you do! Lindsay T.

I fell in love with this charming venue. Both my husband and I work full time and were planning the wedding ourselves so the fact that this venue had everything organized and planned out for meetings it was easy and stress free planning. Cheryl was a pleasure to work with and simply took care of things the day of the wedding. It was a beautiful memorable wedding and people kept telling us how cute the location was and how great the food taste.

We had to cancel our original venue andcthen we found Chapel of Orange. Cheryl was so helpful since we only had 3 weeks to plan and it was magical.

We had a lovely, simple and very elegant wedding. We were very happy and our guests had a great time. The chapel is beautiful and nicely decorated. The people are flexible and friendly and the surrounding area is very nice. We would absolutely recommend this venue to everyone!!!!

They had a wonderful elopement package that was very reasonable (it's shown on the website). The venue is so gorgeous and I'm certain our pictures and video turned out well. We did purchase some extras from the elopement package and I can tell you it was all worth it! Cheryl really knows how to make your day go so super smooth. Seriously, an expert! I have officially called her my "Fairy Godmother" and she was just magical on our day! She organized the vendors, was in charge of the time of things, she set up my cake table and champagne so beautifully. There were just so many touches she made sure was done on my day. I'm still floating on my wedding cloud. Thank you Cheryl. It was an incredible day!

The Chapel Of Orange was the perfect location and Cheryl Gale was wonderful to work with. This was the definition of a stress free day and stress free planning. Right from the start Cheryl was great to work with. They have pre-built packages, but you can customize completely anything and everything. Cheryl worked with every vendor coordinating everything. I got to design my bouquet, the cake, pick my photographer, etc. but Cheryl worked out all of the details and paid them directly so that was less on my plate and completely stress free to me. Fast forward to the day: the location was beautiful both inside and out, the vendors were already there and my bouquet was already there (again all coordinated through Cheryl so I didn't have to worry about a thing). We started taking pictures right away. Literally an hour before the ceremony I realized that I had forgotten to let Cheryl know that I wanted a table for a sand ceremony - no problem - she didn't even bat an eye and the table,... Read more the vases, and the shadow box were all perfectly set up in time for the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautiful. We did pictures, cake, and a champagne toast afterwards and they provided everything. I never felt rushed or in a hurry and I was never stressed because everything was handled. It was a perfect day and I would go here again in a heartbeat.

I don’t know where to start, because I am still speechless of how amazing and beautiful our wedding turned out. I can’t say enough positive things about Chapel of Orange and Cheryl. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding would be so much work and cost a fortune, and our wedding ended up completely opposite of that. The price was unbeatable, and everything was included. I have several other friends that signed up for package-type weddings, but had to add on all these extra things, which we didn’t have to. There was enough of everything from flowers, to cake, to wedding invitations and more. The planning part was a breeze as Cheryl has hosted hundreds of weddings in the past and had everything down to a tee. We received emails of everything that we needed to do and people to contact. Don’t get me wrong, there was so much that was already planned, like food and drinks, but since everyone is different, choices such as wedding cake flavor, and color of flowers had ... Read moreto be done in person by us. The email stated everything: for example, time when we needed to contact the flower company, and all the details. All we had to do was set reminders on our phones. The wedding day itself flowed so smooth. The vendors, such as photographer and the additional videographer showed up exactly on time and were extremely talented and professional. We decided to pay extra to have off-site at-home video and photos taken. We arrived at the Chapel slightly after the timeline, but the whole staff adapted perfectly. Everything was so well coordinated, and all the staff were great. The DJ kept the party going, Cheryl had everything in full control, and the chefs/servers blew everyone’s mind away with the food. My husband still talks about the chicken and wants me to “figure out how to cook it” To sum up the wedding, Darren’s 92-year-old grumpy grandpa said that it was the best wedding he has ever been to.
