There’s something magical about discovering a venue that doesn’t just host your wedding … it tells your story. Tucked into the vibrant heart of Anaheim, The Colony House is one of those rare places where craftsman-style character meets effortless elegance. It’s the kind of space that doesn’t demand heavy styling because its bones are already beautiful, yet it’s flexible enough to let your creativity take the reins.

When visiting The Colony House for the first time, there’s an immediate sense of warmth. Maybe it’s the exposed brick and soaring bow-truss ceilings. Or the natural wood accents and streams of light that pour through tall windows. Or perhaps it's the way each corner of the venue has been thoughtfully designed to flow, from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing, with intention and heart.
