Weddings at Coyote Hills
One lawn, one ridge,
and the light doing
most of the work.
The Venue
Ceremony on the grass. Reception through the glass.
Couples have been getting married on this hillside since 1996, and the reason has not changed: the ceremony lawn faces west across the Orange County basin, so an evening ceremony ends exactly as the sky turns. The Vista Falls Room sits directly behind it — 3,000 square feet for anything from 20 to 300-plus, floor-to-ceiling windows on the course, and four sets of double doors onto the terrace above the waterfalls.
Catering is in-house and full-service. A coordinator runs your day from the walkthrough to the last song, and there is no shuttling guests between two locations — ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing all happen on the same terrace.
Spaces
Four spaces, one view
Vista Falls Room
- 20 – 300+ guests
- 3,000 sq ft
Floor-to-ceiling windows onto the course and the hillsides, and four sets of double doors opening to a long terrace above the illuminated waterfalls.
Ceremony Site
- Outdoor
- Elevated altar
A pitched structure of wood beams wrapped in Wisteria, framing the couple against the cascading waterfall. The highlight of the property, by common consent.
Pointe Ballroom
- 10 – 80 guests
- Wrap-around patio
The smaller half of the Vista Falls Ballroom, with its own patio and the same waterfall view from the terrace.
The Pavilion
- 22,000 sq ft clubhouse
- Attached pavilion
The clubhouse sits among the waterfalls and streams with sweeping views of the grounds; the attached event pavilion opens onto them.
The Vista Falls Ballroom divides into the Vista Falls Room and the Pointe Ballroom, so one wedding can take the whole floor while a smaller party takes half. The restaurant overlooking the 18th hole handles rehearsal dinners.

From Couples
I love that the ceremony space is so different from any other with its pergola and waterfall backdrop. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to couples, and they work well together with the vendors to ensure a seamless experience.

Coyote Hills has scenic views, lovely landscaping and an incredible staff that can’t be beat. We’ve had the pleasure of working at this venue over the years and our clients are always amazed.
Jerrick OConnor · Event planner
The outside setting is perfect for the ceremony and just picturesque. The food was outstanding and everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend this venue to all.
