Heritage Park

Heritage Park is a city-run historic park at 12100 Mora Drive in Santa Fe Springs, California. It is an outdoor garden venue in an urban setting, with vintage buildings and landscaped grounds that give couples a classic backdrop for a ceremony, a reception, or both in one place.

Couples can choose between several outdoor spaces. The Formal Garden, with its lattice arch, an old yew tree and cherub statuary, suits intimate ceremonies. The Glass Conservatory Lawn seats guests on the grass with the glass conservatory behind the altar, and it works for up to 300 guests. For receptions, the Gothic-style Carriage Barn has tables set under the trees out front, with room for a DJ and dancing. The park can host up to 300 guests seated or standing.

Heritage Park is a venue-only rental. There is no on-site catering and no kitchen, so couples bring in a caterer, either from the park's preferred list or their own. A non-preferred caterer carries a 10% fee paid to the City. Tables, chairs and a dance floor are provided, and the park has free parking and wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Open flames are not allowed, and the couple is responsible for cleanup. A ceremony and reception rental includes three hours of setup, seven hours of event time and one hour of cleanup. A $1,000 down payment is required, and Santa Fe Springs residents receive 20% off. Packages start at $1,200 for a ceremony-only rental.
