Pre-Ceremony: Getting Ready at Crown Plaza Costa Mesa
The day began at the Crown Plaza in Costa Mesa, a fantastic hub for wedding preparations in the heart of Orange County. The hotel’s modern amenities and spacious rooms provided the perfect setting for the bridal party to relax and prepare for the big day.
Capturing these "getting ready" moments is essential for any cinematic wedding video. It’s where the story starts—the nervous laughter, the final touches of makeup, and the quiet moments of reflection before the ceremony.
The Ceremony: A Fairytale at Waverly Chapel, Santa Ana
For their ceremony, Jen and Nick chose the breathtaking Waverly Chapel in Santa Ana. Known for its "Old English" charm, stone architecture, and stunning stained glass, a Waverly Chapel wedding offers a sense of timeless tradition that is rare to find in Southern California.
Location: 1702 Fairhaven Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92705
Vibe: Traditional, Romantic, Historic
As Jen walked down the aisle of this Santa Ana wedding ceremony venue, the natural light filtering through the chapel created a magical atmosphere. The acoustics of the stone chapel made their vows resonate perfectly, creating a memory that will last a lifetime.
The Reception: Partying at Turnip Rose Celebrations
After sealing their union, the couple and their guests moved to Turnip Rose - Celebrations in Costa Mesa for the reception. The Turnip Rose group is legendary in Orange County for their exceptional catering and unique venues, and "Celebrations" at 1901 Newport Blvd lived up to the hype.
