Dove Canyon Courtyard at 31981 Dove Canyon Drive, Trabuco Canyon, California.

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.
