Villa del Sol

Recently attended a wedding here. Venue was absolutely beautiful.Food and service was delicious! The bartender also made some delicious drinks.

Officiated a wedding here on a rainy gloomy day. The locations as beautiful but not rain proof, however there could have been some precautions to avoid slips and falls which did occur. Parking was easy if you mentioned you were there for a wedding, otherwise it was overwhelming for guests as there's many venues around competing for a few parking spots.

Went to a friends wedding here. Beautiful quad area with a large fountain. It was perfect for an intimate wedding. They had both the ceremony and the reception there and they were able to transform the space quickly. Parking lot out back but can be a bit tricky if there on a weekend but still easy to access.

Villa del Sol is a beautiful charming place to get married at!My notes after photographing a wedding there are:- it has Spanish/California architecture that looks great w/o any additional decor both during the day and at night- it is surrounded by great spots for a variety of backdrops- has an onsite bridal suite available- food is great (brownstonecafefullerton)- the rentals team is excellent, once of the best I have seen (yennispartyrentals)- parking is limited but available within walking distance- because of its location, music can go on longer than at most venues we work at

It's the old stomping ground of Fullerton! It's a must to see! Great little restaurants, and little shops, with a beautiful fountain in the middle!

We got married at Villa Del Sol in October of 2022 and it was the absolute best experience!The venue itself is so atmospheric, it is like a little oasis in the bustling downtown Fullerton area. It feels like you traveled back in time to a Spanish courtyard, and it has such a charming feel to it. Of all the venues I looked at over the year plus I tried to plan the wedding it was head and shoulders above the others, and it was SURPRISINGLY affordable!!!Another plus was getting use of the entire venue. The price was reasonable for the venue ($5250) and that included the onsite coordinator, Celina, who helped us figure out our layout and other details, as well as 2 security guards who make sure downtown Fullerton bar hoppers do not wander into your party. We also used the Bridal suite on the 3rd floor to get ready which was such a great option to have on site. I cannot imagine us getting married anywhere else, it was just so perfect, and our family and friends loved it. There is convenient free parking for all your guests across Harbor Blvd., and they even saved a couple spots in their parking lot for our older family members, such as my husband's grandparents and my parents, and of course for us as the couple. We had a little over 100 guests and we fit comfortably (with a little more room open) in the courtyard. They flipped the venue for us, (we used Hidalgos--check my other review for more details) so we were able to have our ceremony, then the guests were taken upstairs for cocktail hour (there is an elevator for guests who need one) and chill while we took our wedding photos, and the staff flipped the venue into a reception space. It is cliche but it was ACTUALLY magical, and the best day and I do not think any other venue would've made us as happy or satisfied. My husband and I used to go sit on the 2nd floor with pizza specials from Angelo and Vinci's when we first started dating back when we were going to Fullerton College (about 15 years ago) so the venue was already special to us. I HIGHLY recommend using this venue for your event, you will not regret it.

My husband and I got married at Villa Del Sol just before the pandemic and we have visited the venue many times since. We had just moved to OC and were looking for an affordable outdoor venue for a small winter wedding with lights overhead and this place was just perfect! The on-site coordinator was very helpful and offered us multiple contacts for the vendors we would need and ultimately we went for catering with the Fullerton Brew Company which is actually in the same building making it super convenient and the food fresh. The most compliments we got for the wedding aside from the beautiful venue was that we had the BEST wedding food they've ever had! We had plenty of heaters for the wedding guests as it was a little chilly in the evening but everything went so well. We were all about making the day elegant and easy and it was better than expected. The venue is just gorgeous with the Spanish style architecture, multiple levels of walkways and balconies, and beautiful staircases. We had plenty of options for wedding pics. Since the wedding we have referred many friends to throw parties here and have come back just to have dinner at the Fullerton Brew Co. again and revisit the big day. Overall I would recommend anyone to come get married, have a party, or even just take pictures here.

Poor communication. Takes weeks to get responses from any kind of staff here. Super unorganized. They never tell u the exact floor plan you need for your wedding. They expect you to get contracts signed 2 days before your big day. If you like to plan accordingly and on time, this venue is not for you. This venue fits max 130 comfortably if you plan of having more guests it's going to be super crammed. Also the shops and stores in the venue will still be open during your ceremony and reception so you get a bunch of randoms walking around looking at your wedding.

I attended a wedding in this venue recently, I would totally recommend. The environment is so beautiful and let's not talk about the staff. They are top tier, for anyone looking around for wedding venues, make sure to check this one out

We just had a wedding there . Not only did that cost a grip of money, they only had maybe a few vendors to choose. Like 1 or 2. They sucked . Buffett style , not all tables were announced to get up to get their plate . They quickly served , and kept the rest and I saw their staff stuffing their faces while they had 2 full trays of chicken and steak left. Our 3 last tables never received cake . And the manager of Villa Del Sol , Antonette said we had to get all our stuff out of the bridal suite before the reception started . Very stupid. We were walking around lost trying to get all our stuff out of the bridal suite before the reception, while the quest we're watching us from below. Embarrassing and very unorganized . They promise you everything, just to get $27,000 out Of you. And you get nothing in return,Crappy service, and then treat you like garbage. And their ceremony area could've been power washed. It's very runned -down now. So just find a better , kinder venue that really cares about your special day. The pictures don't do justice it's smaller than it looks in the pictures .
