Heritage Garden Wedding Package
Corona Heritage Park is a complete wedding and reception facility offering all the resources you'll need to create your perfect day, beginning with our very inclusive Heritage Garden Wedding Package.
The setting for your event is at Corona's first Historic District officially designated by the City of Corona. The spacious garden is part of the 1911 home of the founder of the Foothill Ranch, the center of what once was the largest lemon empire in California. Surrounded by giant century-old trees, the gazebo and garden are naturally cool and shaded for an incredible outdoor wedding experience.
Your Wedding Coordinator and Wedding Officiant will both guide you through your wedding rehearsal and will be there with you on your wedding day. Your Heritage Garden Wedding Package includes:
• All white padded wooden chairs will be already set-up including decorated aisles and aisles runner. There will also be tables for your guest book and gifts.
• Traditional music is heard through out the garden, or you can provide the DJ with any music you'd like. Ample parking is provided with an attendant. There are separate men's and women's guest restrooms.
• The Brides' Cottage has all the comforts of home. All the character of century-old Corona. A special place for the bride and her maids, tastefully decorated and steeped in tradition. The historic two-room cottage is comfortably air conditioned and perfect for dressing. It even includes the original restroom restored to beautiful condition.
Your Perfect Wedding Ceremony
Our professional wedding officiants and licensed pastors perform all styles of weddings – traditional, non-traditional, religious, non-denominational and secular.
He/she (we have both available) will meet with you prior to your special date to consult with you for exactly what you're dreaming of. He/she will be present to guide you through your rehearsal to make sure everything is just right. Then on your wedding day, you'll have no other concern than the absolute enjoyment of the moment.
We offer the newest tradition of the often requested Sand Ceremony. Where the Unity Candles often fall short during outdoor weddings, the Sand Ceremony shines. You and your spouse pick two personal choices of colored sand, and during the ceremony, both colors are simultaneously poured into a heart-shaped vase, along with snow white sand representing purity. Just like your everlasting union, the sands are bound together forever in perfect harmony, never again to be separated. The vase can then be kept on your hearth or other special place to remind you always. It's the perfect keepsake for all time.
Celebrate Your new Life Together
• Your reception will include round tables, padded wooden chairs, linen table cloths, linen napkins (with your choice of colors), water and champagne glasses. While the wedding party takes photos, usually under the two huge secluded English Oaks, your guests will enjoy hors d'oeurves.

FAQs about the Wedding Package
Do you serve hors d'oerves with the wedding package?
Yes. Your guests will have cheese, crackers, fruit and salami roll-ups while you're taking photos.
Do you leave the cottage open throughout the wedding?
It is locked after the ceremony because there's always a few guests that eat, drink and congregate there away from your celebration.
Where are the restrooms located?
A modern event-capacity stand-alone building is adjacent to the cottage.
Any issues with bugs before? Should we bring some bug spray or anything like that?
We spray early in the a.m. before each event. The odor is gone by the time your guests arrive. It is outdoors. There's no guarantee some bug won't fly by at anytime, but it's never been a problem.
Does it get very windy in the park?
It's protected by the trees and buildings, but it's common to have a breeze in the aftrenoons. That's why we use a sand ceremony instead of candles.

7 a.m. The park is busy with other people and activities until 2 pm.
