Reviews
"Such a beautiful place for a special occasion! My Daughter just got Married yesterday 2/23/24 With her First and last Love! It was absolutely beautiful!"
"If you love historical places like I do, this is a precious gem! Nestled in Orange County, you'll feel like you took a step back in time. You could almost hear horse and buggy go by on the little side street. Be mindful of where you park as it is a courthouse and there is a parking patrol. The lot is small so I recommend a look around the area before you bring the whole family to your wedding ceremony. There are a few chapel rooms available. One will hold a small group comfortably. Congratulations on your wedding!"
"Business is back to "usual" at the Old OC Courthouse. - Couples can have 0-2 witnesses sign their marriage license. - Couples can bring guests for their onsite ceremony, which takes place in front of an altar again (room A or B) or at the superior courtroom if you pay the additional fee (highly recommended if you have a larger group). - If you get married during a busy day (Friday or the one Saturday a month they are open), allow extra time in case you need to park at the nearby parking lots or structures since the little courthouse lot does get full quickly. - The city contracted a third party, and parking tickets *are* being issued. - You can pay with coins or credit card but need to be careful about the expiration time. - You can use the convenient phone app, but you will pay 20 cents extra per hour (whyyy). - Also, allow time for construction traffic. Many streets are either half closed or one way. In summary, it is the most practical, affordable, and beautiful venue to get married in OC. Best wishes!"
"Meter parking that accepts coins and credit cards. Museum is on the entry level, you go upstairs for the recorder. Was able to get our marriage license and the entire process (with an appt) only took maybe 20mins."
"The museum was empty because they have not placed displays out yet during the reopening from COVID. Not sure when that happens with the timeline. Beautiful building! Luckily, I had a OC Parks pamphlet from before COVID that provided a lot of information that I might have missed. It might be a better trip to wait for when things fully reopen? UPDATE! Don't miss downstairs! All of the history is there..."
