This Summer's Perfect
Venue for Entertaining

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike." - John Muir

Once more it’s Summer and The McCharles House has an unexpected surprise for you! In the spirit of America and Christmas In July, we will be dressing up The McCharles House in the blossoms and seashells of summertime - garlands of evergreen with roses, sunflowers and lavender intertwined with twinkling lights ~ festooned about in the midst of summer, hinting of the season waiting around the corner ~ inspiring our guests to create their versions for home. Summertime is all around as we celebrate the season’s leisure. Christmas in July is just one of the many pleasures to be had in an American summer, from sea to shining sea.

Our dream of building The McCharles House - A Center for Living, is now complete. A center for cultural events, film and photo, corporate retreats, conferences and meetings, parties, anniversaries, wine tastings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, weddings and renewing of vows. Surrounded by time-honored gardens, the beautiful additions---The Summerhouse, The Sequioa Lodge, The Drawing Room, The Porchside and Courtyards---will keep The McCharles House a special place for you and future generations to enjoy. If you should have any questions or would  like to make an appointment to view the venues, please contact Vivian at  714.731.4063 and leave a voice mail.  Summer dates are available. We thank you for considering our truly unique venues for your upcoming event.

With all the exciting additions here at The McCharles House, we are still in the process of doing more. As always, good things take time. Because of that, The McCharles House Restaurant will not be serving our seasonal menu at this time nor do we have a specific opening date for the restaurant. You can be assured that Executive Chefs, Audrey and Vivian, will be returning with their seasonal restaurant - a little different and more special than before!

Our favorite style for summer is at the Ralph Lauren web site. "Ecelctic, iconic and distinctly American, Ralph Lauren conjures the authentic charm of a quaint seaside country store stocked with homespun textiles, accessories for entertaining and provision to outfit a summer retreat."

Watch for a special feature about Vivian and Audrey in the Summer 2008 issue of Romantic County magazine.
