Couples choosing to wed at the Franciscan Gardens will find a ranch wedding venue in the Orange County, California area. A vintage atmosphere envelopes this historic loft space, giving an elegant air to couples’ weddings. Outdoor events that take place surrounded by lush walls of greenery and exposed brick await couples and their guests at this venue, located just 12 minutes from the Dana Point Harbor.
Facilities and Capacity

Large wooden gates swing open to a charming courtyard, where string lights are hung overhead and the concrete underfoot is sturdy.
