The Ebell Society of the Santa Ana Valley

About Us

The Ebell of Santa Ana is a treasured historic landmark designed in 1924, showcasing timeless Spanish Revival architecture with dramatic arched doorways, elegant ironwork, and distinctive period details that reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Southern California. Rich in character and charm, the venue offers a warm and inspiring backdrop for both intimate gatherings and large-scale celebrations.

Originally built to support The Ebell Society of Santa Ana Valley, a women’s philanthropic organization founded to advance education, culture, and civic engagement, the Ebell continues to uphold this mission today by supporting local charitable causes and community initiatives. Hosting events at the Ebell not only provides guests with a beautiful and memorable experience but also contributes to the preservation of a historic nonprofit institution with deep roots in Orange County.

The venue features multiple versatile event spaces designed to accommodate a wide range of occasions. These include a spacious banquet hall ideal for weddings, galas, and corporate events; a charming theater well-suited for performances, presentations, and lectures; an inviting open-air courtyard perfect for ceremonies, receptions, and cocktail hours; and several private meeting rooms for smaller gatherings, breakout sessions, or bridal preparations. Each space maintains the venue’s historic integrity while offering flexibility for customized event layouts and creative vision.

The Ebell of Santa Ana proudly partners with Colette’s Catering & Events, providing full-service catering and professional event planning. From customized menus and bar service to décor coordination and timeline management, this partnership ensures seamless execution and exceptional service for every event.

As a premier performance and event venue in the heart of Orange County, the Ebell of Santa Ana is an ideal setting for weddings, bridal and baby showers, birthday celebrations, fundraisers, corporate events, product launches, photography sessions, and film productions. Combining historic elegance, modern amenities, and a mission-driven purpose, the Ebell offers a truly distinctive venue where unforgettable moments and meaningful community impact come together.
