Discover this gorgeous country club venue in South Orange County at Dove Canyon by Wedgewood Weddings! This upscale Trabuco Canyon wedding venue sits within an exclusive, private gated community near Coto de Caza. Surrounded by acres of mountains and lush greenery, the venue offers a secluded retreat atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to Southern California's abundant amenities.
As you enter the gated community and approach the venue, you'll be struck by the impressive exterior. The grand architecture features a mid-century modern design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wooden and stone accents adorn the building's façade. As you approach the front doors, a large oak tree stands over a manicured lawn. Wooden beams with skylights frame the sky above. Your path leads past stacked stone accents and pillars to the imposing 12-foot wooden doors that welcome you inside.
Exchange vows beneath a towering 175-year-old California oak tree with twinkle lights. This naturally beautiful setting provides a stunning backdrop for your ceremony and incredible photo opportunities for you and your partner.
The Lounge, a standout feature of Dove Canyon by Wedgewood Weddings, welcomes guests for cocktail hour. Dramatic ceilings with vaulted mahogany beams and skylights create an airy atmosphere. Multiple seating areas surround cozy double-sided stacked stone fireplaces. Stone and wood flooring, combined with warm mahogany accents, create an inviting ambiance. The highlight of this space is the dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing gorgeous views of Dove Canyon's rolling hills and greenery. Guests can enjoy these views from the seating areas, grab a drink at the sleek built-in bar, or head outside to the adjacent patio to enjoy some fresh air.
As your guests are enjoying cocktail hour, you and your new spouse can take gorgeous photos throughout the grounds. A true showstopper for photos is the dramatic 80-foot waterfall on the property. You can also take photos in front of the idyllic pond, out front on the manicured lawn, or among the multiple mature trees throughout the property.
As guests make their way into the reception space, they'll immediately be drawn to the full wall of windows overlooking the surrounding canyon and hills. Dove Hall comfortably accommodates weddings of various sizes. The space features a tray ceiling, wood paneling, and a cozy stacked-stone fireplace, embracing the venue's mid-century modern aesthetic.
Adjacent to Dove Hall is the versatile West Wing, featuring another stacked-stone fireplace with a warm wood mantle - great for personalizing with photos or décor. This area can host additional guests or serve as a convenient spot for the buffet, keeping it close yet separate from the main reception space. The West Wing also offers a balcony overlooking a beautiful pond.
Throughout the reception, guests can continue to enjoy cocktails in The Lounge or step out to the patio for fresh air and scenic views, ensuring an indoor/outdoor experience.
