Things to Consider for a Party in Santa Ana

Before you get blown away by our party facilities and their endless list of amenities, let’s do a deep dive into Santa Ana. This city is a top destination for good reason, but let's take a look at the ins and outs of hosting here before you make a commitment to an event space:

Advantages

• The downtown area is highly walkable, so you can explore shops without depending on public transportation.

• It’s close to the ocean! If you want a quintessential California experience, you should pair your party in the city with some beachside relaxation.

• Santa Ana has a rich cultural diversity which leads to a great arts scene and exciting cuisine options.

Disadvantages

• This might not come as a surprise, but traffic here is pretty terrible during peak hours. Public transport isn’t widely available, which means a long drive whether you’re behind the wheel or paying a high taxi tab.

• The air quality in Santa Ana can be bad at times, so you may want to keep an eye on reports if you’re hosting outdoor receptions.

What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Parties in Santa Ana?

Ready to book one of our remarkable rentals? We’ve got multiple spaces to suit every theme, budget, and party type; we’re the complete package.

Event Halls – The Wedding Specialists. If you want to curate an event experience no one will ever forget, trust the pros. Renting an event venue that specializes in large-scale private parties will give you access to versatile spaces and exceptional customer service. Looking for premium features like live entertainment or in-house catering? They’ve probably got that too. Many even offer on-site parking and security which is a big plus when you're hosting so many people.

Spanish, Ranch-Style Mansions – Exclusive Events with Celebrity Status. If you really want to impress your guests, head to the hillside. These architectural works of art boast ivy trellises, stunning stonework, and stylish great rooms so you can mix and mingle at your leisure. Plus, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world with expansive views of the ocean and the city!

Restaurants and Cafes – Where Food is the Focal Point. Welcome your employees with a cup of joe before your corporate events or have a laid-back rehearsal dinner for the quirky bride and groom at a local burger joint. Social events at these foodie venues are great because you can host drop-in gatherings and take some of the pressure off of a formal sit-down reception.

How to Plan a Party in Santa Ana

Birthdays, weddings, business meetings…there are so many types of parties to throw in the city and each one comes with its own set of expectations. Regardless of the occasion, here are some planning tips that will leave you feeling like a hosting pro:

Come Up With a Unique Party Favor Guests Will Actually Use – Everyone loves a little surprise, but there are only so many branded bottle openers a person can have. Whether you’re hosting a wedding or a convention, consider sending everyone home with a packet of your favorite local coffee beans, jars of honey, or even better, send them home with a Polaroid picture with the guest of honor!

Pick Up Odds & Ends Sooner Than You Think You Need to – Whatever you do, don’t leave picking up streamers, plates, or tablecloths until the last second. If something happens to be out of stock, you’ll be scrambling trying to come up with a backup plan or driving all over town and disrupting the rest of your party planning schedule.

Location, Location, Location – If you’re planning a trip and these are destination celebrations, ensure every event space you consider is centrally located. Not only will this mean guests can get there with ease, but it also enables you to go sightseeing and hit up every iconic landmark in Santa Ana, or build some extra excursions out to Beverly Hills and Huntington Beach into your itinerary.

How to Save Money on Your Party in Santa Ana

If you want to create fancy special events without a big budget, there are many ways to enhance the guest experience without breaking the bank. Here are a few of our favorites:

Look for a venue that includes bar services.

Listen, while open bars have a price tag that might make you do a double take, it’s worth it. When you break down the cost of liquor licenses, buying your own alcohol, and hiring qualified bartenders and servers, it’s worth it to just outsource and work with a venue that has these things built into their pricing.

Pick a venue with indoor and outdoor spaces included in your rental.

Not only will this provide maximum versatility, it will eliminate the need for a costly “backup plan” like a party tent rental or last-minute relocation.

Get busy in the kitchen.

If you can cook, you may want to put in some elbow grease and save yourself from a hefty catering invoice. This doesn’t mean it needs to be fancy either. Make use of low-effort kitchen solutions like crock pots for big-batch cooking and bake chocolate chip cookies for dessert. We’ve never seen someone be mad at a cookie made from scratch!
