Having our wedding at the Summit House was truly a dream come true! They were the first venue that my husband and I went to go see and we knew from the start that the Summit House was special. We tried to go tour other venues but the peace that we felt at the Summit House was undeniable. Everyone loved the food, the gazebo, and the view! It’s such a beautiful place to have your wedding that it doesn’t need much to make it outstanding as it already is. LeeAnn was so helpful leading up to our wedding and we were so appreciative on how organized she is. The Summit House did have a different “Day of Coordinator” for the wedding, and they oversaw all the “behind the scenes”. If you want more 1-to-1 interactions, you might want to hire a wedding planner or an additional day of coordinator. Overall, our wedding day was perfect thanks to the Summit House!

The Summit House gave us our dream wedding! Every aspect of the Summit House was beyond what we could have ever hoped for. The entire Summit House team was amazing from start to finish, but LeeAnn was truly the reason that we loved our special day. From the moment we stepped foot at the Summit House, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The location was beautiful, the views were spectacular, and their entire system was turn-key. We did not do the Everything But The Ring Package, but we still felt like everything was so streamlined. Every time we spoke with LeeAnn, all of our fears would go away because we knew that we were in good hands. The entire staff was professional, knowledgable, and truly amazing. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and that was entirely because of the Summit House. There is truly not enough good things that we can say. If you are thinking about getting married at the Summit House, don’t look any further. We promise that you won’t regret it!

I paid for the reception for my son and daughter-in-law. The Summit House states you do not need a wedding coordinator since they have Lee Ann. Lee Ann and her assistant leaves at 6 pm. So if your wedding is at 6pm, you do not have any wedding or reception coordination. If you want a coordinated wedding and reception, do not go to The Summit House since they have an inexperienced staff who is also endorsed to be your coordinator and do not have enough staff to serve your guests. The bride, groom and wedding party had to leave the reception to set up the wedding favors to be given to the guests that were supposed to be set up by Lee Ann and her staff. Lee Ann’s staff stated they ran out to assist but this was untrue. They had two staff people serving 100 guests which was not enough. The cake was supposed to be cut during the first dance but the cake was left uncut in the kitchen for over an hour while the staff cleaned up. People started leaving so I had to request the Summit House staff to cut the cake or I am not sure it would have ever been cut. Approximately a quarter of the guests received a piece of cake. When I asked where Lee Ann was, I was told she left at 6pm. I certainly did not know that we were not going to have a coordinator present during the reception. This is something I want everyone to know who is thinking about using this venue to know. The Summit House and Lee Ann blames your guests as a reason for their failure to deliver on their contractual obligations such as cake cutting, putting out wedding favors, etc. What you get is no coordination, and for a wedding, coordination is necessary. One final thing is that we had a $700 credit left on the bar. We were told that we were not getting it refunded. We were told one of the male servers was in charge and we let him know we were not happy with several things especially now with the bar not being refunded. He got the manager. The manager told my husband and I that we could call Lee Ann and give her our “side”. It was such poor customer service. Everything I see from the Summit House is poor customer service. My recommendation is when you spend this kind of money is to go somewhere else since you will be very disappointed in both the Summit House and Lee Ann.

Impeccable service. I think we couldn’t have chosen a better location. The flow of the whole wedding from start to finish (ceremony to cocktail to reception) was amazing. The staff took really good care of us and just as importantly our guests. They did a great job trying to keep us on our timeline and I think it worked out great.

After looking into multiple wedding venues we decided upon Summit House Restaurant for the following reasons:1) Close to home. We didn't want distance or driving to our wedding to be a pain in the butt for people. And Summit House was perfect in that most of our guests were from Orange County or LA.2) Beautiful venue with outdoor ceremony & indoor reception. I loved their ceremony site with the gazebo & how guests would be sitting up on hill so they can witness our ceremony without any obstruction. Plus I wanted the reception to be inside due to weather concerns.3) Reasonable Price. Honestly weddings are expensive but Summit House had very competitive pricing and was very reasonable. 4) Good food. Both my husband and I are foodies. Therefore, we did not want the food to suck... and the food at Summit House was amazing! On the day of our wedding the food tasted better than it did at our tasting. We were both very impressed. 5) Plenty of parking. Summit House has complimentary valet & self parking. My husband & I got married at the Summit House this past weekend, 1.19.19. Honestly, it was the best decision we ever made. So glad we went with them and not another place!Once we booked Summit House. Planning our wedding was like a breeze. LeeAnn and Mark answered all my questions regarding our wedding via email. They were quick to answer even the minor questions I had. Paying for venue was easy as well & they take CREDIT CARD!!! Score with the mileage points!!! Plus the tasting is an awesome experience for the family. It was like a meal with full plating of the dishes! Our families all enjoyed the experience!Honestly, if you have your wedding at Summit House you do not need a wedding coordinator... unless you are REALLY bad at planning OR you dont want to plan. I am a planner & I planned everything from the day we got engaged up to our wedding day. But Summit House executed everything I wanted for my wedding on the day of since I personally wasn't able to. LeeAnn & Cristina made sure everything was set up the way I wanted on the day of while I was getting my hair & makeup done in their bridal suite. Mayra helped us with our wedding ceremony walk thru during rehearsal and on the day of. She made sure the ceremony flowed smoothly. Cristina made sure reception went as planned & made sure to feed us! :)Sam stayed thru out our reception and made sure everything ended nicely. There were so many people at Summit House who made sure that our wedding went well. For that they were wonderful! I knew on the day of that I can just let go and let them handle it! I most definitely recommend Summit House for your wedding venue! If you are contemplating... JUST DO IT! You won't be disappointed.

Got married in September 2018 and was blown away by the Summit House (ceremony & reception). All of my guests said how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. The wedding packages are reasonable and the Summit House is very accommodating when it comes to working with you. I functioned as my own planner but they were so helpful throughout the entire process. I didn't have to worry and the wedding went so smoothly thanks to Mark and the whole team. As the bride I felt relieved that someone was there the entire wedding checking in with me and giving me food and drinks! Also, the bridal suite has maximum air conditioning for bridesmaids and the bride to cool off and refresh. They think of all the little things! I would recommend this venue 100% and cannot wait to eat there again.

My husband and I honestly can't say enough about how absolutely perfect our wedding was because of the amazing staff at The Summit House, especially Mark Fleshner! While dating, my husband had taken me to the restaurant for a special occasion so it already had a very special place in our hearts. We happened to see a wedding there on our date so when we got engaged it was one of the first venues we thought of. Our wedding menu was SO important to us and we'd never had better prime rib than at The Summit House so it was a MUST! And man did their chef deliver - We still hear our wedding guests to this day tell us it was the BEST wedding buffet they've ever had. Mark hosted our tasting and even that was such a thoughtful and enjoyable experience for our families to come together. The setting is beautiful and what I loved was that you don’t need to decorate hardly at all because the ballroom is already breathtaking and the view is unbelievable. You can't find a more gorgeous or reasonably priced venue, but on top of it all, we were so thankful to work with Mark. You can tell The Summit House has their weddings down to a science with schedules and timing - The evening ran so smoothly. My husband and I are two of the most low-key people and Mark was the most organized and efficient event coordinator ever. We felt so taken care of and honestly, we felt like he became a great friend over the year of planning! He responded promptly to any and every question we asked and he didn’t make us feel embarrassed when we asked what we felt were really silly questions. We had a couple of very different requests and Mark was more than accommodating to make our day perfect. We’ve been to quite a few weddings and typically I hear from friends that things went wrong at their wedding, but honestly The Summit House made sure nothing went wrong! Everything was easy and everything we could have imagined! In the chaos of cleaning up, we accidentally left some of our family photos behind and Mark even made sure they made their way home. My husband and I have been together for over 11 years so this day was very special to us and our families. We were so blessed to have The Summit House create the most memorable day of our lives. We will definitely come every year for our anniversary and remember that magical day! We can't say thank you enough!

My family and I have come here for many special occasions since I was in middle school and my first time coming for dinner I told my mom that I wanted to get married there. Flash forward many years later and my dream came true! Summit House was the very first place we toured for a venue and booked it on the spot. I was already familiar with it, but the staff were awesome and my fiancé fell in love with the venue immediately. There isn't anywhere else in So Cal that you can get such service and and amazing locale! They were great about keeping in contact with me in the year that passed between booking and the big day. They made our food tasting a wonderful memory for my family and the rehearsal was stunning. They made sure all of our wedding party had cold drinks and were walked through everything. The morning/afternoon of my wedding day was honestly one of the most STRESS FREE days of my entire life. Marco was my wedding fairy god-father. He has this easy way about him that makes him the one you gravitate towards. He brought my bridesmaids, mom and I a cart of coffee, champagne, and juices for the morning getting ready. He had a light lunch prepared for us in the afternoon and did the same for the groomsmen and groom. He was there every step of the way even when there were little glitches with other vendors he took care of them seamlessly. He carried my train all the way up a hill so we could get fantastic pictures! He made sure we ate and enjoyed our wonderful meals before getting up and talking to people. He was there to calm me down when I walked out of the bridal suite and saw my Dad for the first time. He is the 'bride whisperer' and is one of the nicest men I've ever met -- as is the ENTIRE staff that worked tirelessly to make sure our wedding days and the wedding days of so many others go perfectly. Every person I interacted with was so kind and helpful and they all deserve credit for making our day perfect. My guests still can't stop talking about how fun it was and how delicious the food was! It was the best day of my life in no small part to the Summit House. THANK YOU

We had our dream wedding at the Summit House. Wonderful Carmen and her team were conscious of every moment and kept our schedule on track. So thankful that my husband and I didn't have to think of what we were supposed to do next. Our wedding was the second wedding we had either been to, so everything was pretty new to us, but the Summit House staff made it all look flawless. The venue itself is magical. It is at the top of a hill with a great view of OC and even LA on a clear day. Inside, the many windows surrounding it make it seem more open than it already is. There is also updated carpeting, a beautiful dance-floor, and draped ceilings. Our guests loved the fact that they could utilize both the inside or the outside. It was lovely. The bridal room in which I hid out in before the grand entrance was also so lovely with couches and mirrors and plenty of room, not to mention a password safe door. Lastly, the food was phenomenal. Our food-tasting day was one of the best ever haha. It was actually so hard to choose our menu because everything tastes so delicious. Many of our guests absolutely loved the dinner, which does not surprise me. Overall, we are both so so happy we went with the Summit House. The staff, the beauty of the venue, and the food were top notch.

It is at the top of a hill with a great view of OC and even LA on a clear day. Inside, the many windows surrounding it make it seem more open than it already is. There is also updated carpeting, a beautiful dance-floor, and draped ceilings. Our guests loved the fact that they could utilize both the inside or the outside. It was lovely. The bridal room in which I hid out in before the grand entrance was also so lovely with couches and mirrors and plenty of room, not to mention a password safe door. Lastly, the food was phenomenal. Our food-tasting day was one of the best ever haha. It was actually so hard to choose our menu because everything tastes so delicious. Many of our guests absolutely loved the dinner, which does not surprise me. Overall, we are both so so happy we went with the Summit House. The staff, the beauty of the venue, and the food were top notch.

We found Summit House by eating there after we had just been engaged with my now wife. We were sitting there thinking the Prime Rib was absolutely amazing and the view was stunning. We thought, \"This is everything we wanted in a wedding venue, good food and a beautiful location. We wondered if they were also a wedding venue.\"Little did we know, Summit House was one of the most popular wedding venues in the area. I've since hiring Summit House, known so many people who have been to a wedding there or had their wedding there. I've vetted all the nearby venues and none could compare to Summit House. They give you the venue space for the entire day and were always there for you from the initial planning to our final wedding day. I am so glad to have had Mark and his team to work with on our wedding day. On the day of our tasting, they gave us so much food and every dish was absolutely delicious. If food is the most important highlight of your wedding day, Summit House is the perfect fit.Special shout out to Marco, the maître d', for being there on our wedding day. This man deserves a raise! He was there from the beginning and making sure we were properly hydrated throughout our photo-shoot and making sure our photographer could get the shots we needed. Marco is incredible, really went above and beyond, I could not have thanked him enough. He made sure everything went as planned and also helped take care of the little changes that came up on the day of.

Now I know why this place has such a high rating. My husband and I fell in love with this venue immediately. We got married on the evening of Saturday, May 2017. Even though Carmen is no longer with Summit House, Mark and Marco and their team did everything beyond our expectations to make sure our wedding was every bit amazing as it was. Marco was there every step of the way making sure we were hydrated and fed. Our family and friends loved the venue and were overjoyed with how much fun it was. We heard nothing, but positive feedback. They were so accommodating for allowing us to have a Chinese tea pouring ceremony a few hours before our traditional ceremony. The Summit House has all their weekends booked for weddings and events for a reason. They're great at what they do and it really shows. Our guests loved the buffet since they got to choose what they wanted to eat and could go back for prime rib seconds. Everyone loved loved loved the risotto and cream corn. People were raving about the appetizer as well. There's nothing I would change about our wedding. Great food, beautiful venue, and hands down the best service I've ever received.

We just got back from our honeymoon and my husband and I are STILL talking about how PERFECT everything was for our wedding two weeks ago at the Summit House. His direct quote -- \"anyone who doesn't have their wedding at the Summit House is an idiot\". I have to say I agree. \r\rFrom the get-go, Carmen and her staff were amazing. I was a terrible bride-to-be and didn't enjoy the planning process at all which made me a bit of a procrastinator. But Carmen made it so easy and was so flexible/accommodating with what I wanted to do from flowers to vendor set-up to timing of everything. We had both the ceremony and reception at the Summit House and it was almost as if Carmen makes magic happen to make sure her couples are happy (I even asked to switch the linens two days before and she made it happen). \r\rFood at the reception was very important to both my husband and I. After all, you're spending thousands of dollars on a party so the food better taste good! This is why a restaurant was at the top of our list for a venue and the Summit House did not disappoint. The tasting was incredible and was the first indication of the service we would see on the day of the wedding. \r\rThe actual wedding and reception could not have gone smoother. The team at the Summit House knows how to put together a seamless event and my whole family was blown away by the ease at which the staff put them and the level of service they showed. They provided my vendors with refreshments during install and worked closely with them to make sure they had what they needed. Upon my arrival to the bridal suite, we were provided with champagne and a small snack tray and were continuously asked what we needed. You could have asked for anything in the world and Marco and Carmen would figure out a way to get it! \r\rAfter the ceremony and throughout the reception is when my mind was blown with the level of service provided. The wedding party/family was followed around with appetizers and drinks during photos. If I looked sideways about where to put my bouquet, a banquet server (or Marco himself) was there to take it out of my hands so I could take a sip of champagne or get a bite to eat. Even throughout the dinner service, they catered to anything my husband or I needed, and made sure we had time to actually enjoy the delicious food!\r\rI can't say enough good things about our experience at the Summit House. It's a beautiful venue with incredible food and mind-blowing service (thank you Carmen and Marco!). My advice to brides/grooms planning an Orange County wedding is to make the Summit House your first and final stop. I promise you won't be disappointed. \r

I got married on August 14th and it was LITERALLY the best night of my life! I had heard that the Summit House would fulfill all my needs the day of the wedding, but they far EXCEEDED them! I brought my personal touches in bins and all of it was displayed properly and beautifully within two hours. Carmen answered all my questions via email within an hour of asking them. And was flexible as to how in control I wanted to be. And Marco? Marco was the name of the evening. He is like having a second brain. Every time we were wondering how something happened we would look at each other and say \"Marco! Of course.\" I thought I was a pretty organized bride, but he thought of things even before I did! If I was parched, he had a bottled water with a straw (as not to mess up my makeup). When my dress was dragging in the grass, he held it! When I couldn't find my stuff to put in the getaway car, it was because he had already gathered them and put them inside. He was sooo sweet, and totally made the day move with ease so that we got to do everything on our list and our guests were enjoying their evening. I cannot recommend Summit House with their awesome staff, food, views and organization enough. I give them 10 stars with smiles, hugs and confetti ;-)

When we first went to see Summit House Restaurant as a potential venue for our reception, I fell in love with the cute restaurant front, grand ballroom in the back, and lovely view instantly! As it is a very popular wedding venue, our initial preferred date was unavailable and we even considered switching the wedding day from a Saturday to a Sunday just so that we could have it here. Fortunately, things worked out and we ended up picking a later wedding date (but we booked it a year in advance!).\r\rI had such a great experience working with Carmen, the restaurant wedding coordinator. She was super friendly, laid back, and always available by phone or email if we had any questions. We were able to pick and choose a reception package based on our needs, and they were more than willing to be flexible with customizing our preferences. \r\rFor the dinner reception, we went with the buffet option. We were able to go in for a food tasting and menu sampling/selection, and they absolutely spoiled us with MULTIPLE salads, side dishes, entrees (prime rib, various chickens, various fish with different toppings), bread, and even wine. It was so much fun!\r\rOn the day of the wedding, we were pleasantly surprised by the AMAZING, above-and-beyond service that the restaurant staff gave us and the guests. The wedding party was pampered in the bridal room with an assortment of snacks, drinks, champagne before the reception, as well as while we were outside taking photos with our photographer. The staff constantly made sure that we were well-hydrated and well-fed, knowing that we would be busy throughout the day. \r\rOur guests loved everything about the reception. They enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, as well as our hand-picked strawberry lemonade (they let us exchange the fruit punch for the lemonade, AND we were able to pick our own recipe as well). And boy, did they LOVE the food. We were able to pick 3 entrees (we picked the default prime rib, a chicken, and a fish, and even had a few portions of the vegetarian entree set aside for our vegetarian friends/family without extra cost), which gave the guests plenty to choose from. While it is an unlimited buffet, the only caveat was that the food was removed by a certain time- so make sure your guests get plenty of food before then. \r\rOverall, my husband and I had a fantastic experience with Summit House, and would choose it all over again if we could! We're going to miss working with Carmen- she's truly awesome :)\r\r

This venue was absolutely gorgeous. Carmen and Marco were always there to reassure us our wedding day would go smoothly. Pros: the food (prime rib!) location (fullerton close to Brea mall), private (only one banquet room), beautiful ceilings, great service. Cons: pricy but this place is a prime rib house! Another con was availabilty, the venue only has one banquet room therefore hard to pick find an open weekend. We got married on a Friday with no regrets. Marco and his banquet crew ensured myself and the wedding party were fed, had drinks, and took very good care of us throughout the actual wedding day. I have friends and family who were amazed at this venue and how gorgeous it was all set-up. Highly recommend this venue.

It felt like they read our minds! We would think of something we wanted, turn around, and someone was there to see if they could get it for you. The important thing to us was that not only were they completely attentive to the Bride, Groom and all our parents but to each one of our 150 guests! We worked with Carmen up until the wedding, and Marco took over the day of. They were phenomenal!! Actually, every member of their staff was great. Every detail was thought of, every email was responded to, not a single things was out of place! I can’t even write a review glowing enough to tell how happy we were with this venue.

There isn't much my review can tell you that you wouldn't immediately notice by visiting Summit House yourself. You can hold the reception, the ceremony, or both at this beautiful location. We chose both. The ceremony takes place under a gazebo in a park behind Summit House. There are a lot of naturally growing flowers, which complimented our own flower choices. The reception takes place in the grand ballroom. The food is catered by Summit House, which is great because their food is fantastic. The service is excellent....we decided to do several things ourselves for the wedding (such as floral arrangements) and when we brought them Summit House took them and put them on tables for us (same with table tents for peoples' names). A top notch location with beautiful scenery, great food, and excellent service. If there is one downside it would be this: you are only allowed to have the venue for 5 and a half hours (we started at 4pm, and therefore must end at 9:30pm). But this isn't really that terrible of a downside, but it did affect how much dancing we were able to have at the wedding.

The Summit House was the best find of my entire wedding location hunt for the price! It is not as expensive as other sites with similar offers, and it stands out above the rest. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and not pushy. They treated us like kings and queens throughout the entire process. The food is absolutely delicious and is very impressive. Matching in elegance is the location with valet parking, and an outstanding view day or night. All your dreams will come true at the Summit House!

The Summit House is an outstanding venue. Not only is the setting beautiful, the staff and service is perfection. I did not have to worry about anything because they were all so on top of it. Carmen, the wedding coordinator is exceptional and Marco is your go-to-guy! I could not imagine getting married anywhere else. It was truly unbelievable and my guests are still talking about the food, service and stunning setting!

We could not be happier with our decision to having our wedding at the Summit House. The staff was incredible. They are truly professional in every way. We only had three total meeting with the facility (one initial meeting to see the site, one tasting meeting and one meeting to give them final head counts and drop off all of the wedding day stuff(favors, programs, picture, etc)) and they were able to pull off our wedding without any problems at all. To cap off the beautiful facilities, great food and excellent service, the Summit House assign two-three people to solely care for the bride and groom. They were with us every step of the way. After our ceremony, we took photos while the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour. During our photo session, there was always a staff member following us with food and drinks! Incredible. We would recommend the Summit House to anyone looking to have a great wedding experience!

The Summit House is a dream location for an outdoor ceremony and a ballroom reception. And of course the food is A+. All the food came out on time, hot and delicious. Their beverages were amazing as well. Their service was exceptional, Marco the banquet manager and his team of servers treated us like King and Queen. Our guest enjoyed the night city view after the dinner. Everything was perfect.

The only way to describe our lasting impression of the Summit House as our reception venue is...simply breathtaking. We had surveyed a good number of venues in the Orange County area prior to coming to our final decision, including the Nixon Library (which don’t get me wrong was very beautiful), but we chose the Summit House and would make that decision repeatedly if we had to. \rWhere to start…there was the panoramic view with the setting sun that gave way to twinkling lights below and far out. Then the Summit House grounds itself is truly scenic with plenty of picturesque backdrops for all kinds of creative photography that will lend itself to timeless memories. The fountain outside the ballroom with the wrap around patio was perfect for cocktail hour and with an open bar, we were receiving compliments the entire night, and several weeks after from our guests. The ballroom itself was spectacular, tables set perfectly and the lighting made the place glow and radiate in a way you’d have to experience to believe. The food was without question excellent…prime rib is their signature dish with little surprise, however, don’t discount the other star on the menu, john dory fish received many praises from our guests, including many who normally “dislike” fish. Finally, the icing on the cake was the service at the Summit House. From the initial meeting in the early stages of our planning, through the evening of our reception, there was no question they value the customer’s happiness above all else. No request seemed too out of question and having the wait staff follow us around with food, drink and catering to any need we had felt as close as it can get to being royalty. The Summit staff of Carmen, Marco and the rest of the crew deserve a tremendous amount of accolade for their service and commitment to our enjoyment of the evening. You simply cannot go wrong with the Summit for your reception; it was the perfect way to end our great day and you can have great confidence that it likely will be perfect for you as well.

The food at Summit House is delicious! There's something for everyone and, of course, there's the signature creamed corn. \r\rWe had our wedding reception here and the service was amazing! The staff (especially Carmen and Marco) are helpful and organized; be prepared to be treated like a king and queen. They were attentive to everyone's need (i.e. highchairs, drink refills, more appetizers,...); when things didn't go as planned (like the laptop for the slideshow accidentally being left at the hotel down the street), they rolled with the punches and kept our guests well entertained. Also, we expected rain that evening, so they had the cocktail hour table set up inside and outside (with heaters) to accommodate whatever weather came our way and keep everyone comfortable.\r\rThe view is beautiful as well; we couldn't have picked a better venue!

Great venue, great food-received many compliments on it ...and who compliments wedding food. Marco is amazing. I wished Carmen would have been there for the wedding- some other lady who I never met was and I had spent so much time w/ Carmen. But the venue itself was great- the place is beautiful enough on its own and doesn't need lavish decorating. One bummer- they wanted money from my parents at the end of the night for additional plates of food. Bad timing- to ask in the midst of the celebrations. Plus we can't figure out how they got their numbers- there is no way possible we had that many guests!

We had our wedding at The Summit House in April for 2010. Everything the day of the wedding was so perfect. Their was a waiter assigned just to our wedding party and most importantly me. He was always there: getting us water, food, and champagne. Such great service. After the wedding was all over, they made sure all of the wedding stuff was in someones car going home to us. They really do think of everything.
