Behind a gate, right off the freeway, hidden in plain sight, surrounded by lush gardens laden with early California history, stands a Grand Mansion in pristine condition and yet nearly 100 years old. A sparkling antique fountain greets you before you step back in time at this heavenly setting in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County’s "new" preeminent venue for exclusive events, THE FORSTER MANSION.

This turn of the century home is the ideal site to enhance the magic and splendor of your special event. Conveniently located in San Juan Capistrano on Ortega Highway near the I-5 freeway, this indoor and outdoor venue can accommodate up to 400 guests for a private event. In addition to weddings and receptions, our staff of professionals exceeds the expectations for Bnai Mitzvot, corporate and charity events, tea parties, showers, and luncheons, all with attention to detail to make your celebration unique and elegant.

The Forster Mansion’s Executive Chef John Byrne, along with our knowledgeable staff, and specialty vendors will bring all you imagined to fruition, creating a splendid experience that will be the talk of the town.
