Dove Canyon Courtyard

Great facility. Went there for a football banquet and it was big enough to hold players, coaches, and families.

The Courtyard was such beautiful venue for our wedding reception. When you book the venue, you have access to so many things like tables, chairs and Gayle's wonderful collection of decorations. To say that Gayle was amazing is an understatement. She was so easy to work with. As soon as we met with her, we knew that the Courtyard was the place for us.

She was so caring and made us feel like making our wedding day the most beautiful day of our lives was her #1 priority. Gayle welcomes outside vendors and has a great list of recommendations as well. My family absolutely loves the venue and Gayle and want to have as many events at the Courtyard as we possibly can.

We love photographing weddings here! As the owner of Splashes of Time Photography (splashesoftime.com) I can say that Dove Canyon Courtyard is a wonderful venue for any couple. There are so many photo locations on and around the property. :)

Gorgeous outdoor venue we found by accident and just walking in I knew it was the one! It feels so intimate and almost fairytale-like. For being only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Irvine, it is ridiculously affordable! Plus it came with SOOOO many goodies! DJ (There are two, I had Christian and he was amazing!), tables, linens, drink dispensers, heaters, umbrellas, chairs, an arch, decorations, signs; saved me SO much money not having to hunt those things and no additional stress worrying about getting them rented and to the venue. Plus, the venue coordinator Gayle is the sweetest person in the entire universe!

She was always so eager to help, so sweet and kind, and is genuinely someone who loves and cares about what she does. She's all about making the bride happy, and it shows! She worked so well with my coordinator too, and kept me updated on everything right up until the wedding day (which is when she told me "No worries on your end, you just enjoy your day. We got this!"). Beautiful venue ran by a beautiful soul. Thank you so much Gayle! You made my day magical!

I recently photographed a wedding at Dove Canyon, and Gayle (venue manager) was onsite to offer professional, friendly assistance to all of the vendors --thank you for that! Everything was impeccably clean and well maintained. The space is full of charming details (like the Vespa outside and the wishing well inside), lights, and greenery with white and rustic accents, all of which look magical at night. Highly recommended!

I cannot say enough good things about Dove Canyon and Gayle White. I strongly recommend this venue for your wedding or any event. Not only is it a beautiful and well-maintained property with everything you need for a successful wedding, you get Gayle along with it. She is probably one of the sweetest, most accommodating, most passionate, and most caring humans my husband and I have ever encountered.

She is available for Day Of Coordination services (a Day Of Coordinator is required for a wedding here), and we DEFINITELY recommend using her services. She is professional, experienced, and truly wants you to love your wedding. Fantastic venue, fantastic and EASY experience, best value for a wedding venue in probably all of Orange County.

Nice venue but attention to hot weather, no shade, they need to figure that out, maybe the shade sales can be strung across. Several people in the wedding fainted. But they did a fine enough job with the event. Best at night. Super pretty

Nice place to host an event. Not huge but not too small. Plenty of parking and friendly staff. The only thing this place could use is a bigger courtyard so that it do doesn't get tight during an event.

We attended a family wedding here, and it's such an impressive space for any event! The staff were friendly and efficient-there was always someone nearby if you had a question, and they seem to have thought of everything you might need and have it nearby. It's in the corner of a shopping area, but the moment you step inside, you will forget there's a gym a few doors down-all you see once inside is a beautiful patio, cute buildings, and nature!

And the parking lot makes it so convenient for guests. The photographs taken at your event will have people asking if it was held in a natural setting. There is a pleasant waterfall with beautiful foliage behind it. A stone staircase leads up to a tiny cottage (I want to live there!) where brides or grooms can get ready for their ceremony. There is a covered area for dancing, a gazebo, a covered food preparation space, a bar area, and a large courtyard with small lights strung overhead-beautiful at night!

There is a second room to get ready and two restrooms for guests, and they also have a large refrigerator for storing food and drink. It's easy to get to, and easy to find. Really, if you're planning a wedding or special event, this is definitely a spot to consider. I was super impressed with every aspect of the Dove Canyon Courtyard.

Beautiful location to get married. Very good staff, lots of parking, very scenic area.
