Ceremony in the olive grove at Wedgewood The Harper in Costa Mesa, with bistro lights over the aisle

Wedgewood The Harper Costa Mesa Wedding Photographer

A Costa Mesa event center with an olive grove for the ceremony and a skylit atrium for dinner and dancing. It is close to Newport Beach, and it is a straightforward place to photograph the day as it happens.

Perfect Location For Our Style and Your Vision

The Harper by Wedgewood is at 1618 Ohms Way in Costa Mesa: a 13,000-square-foot event center with a clear path from vows to dinner. The ceremony can be held among the olive trees in the courtyard, or indoors if the weather requires it. Guests then move into the atrium, a reception hall opened up by skylights and, when the accordion doors are pulled back, a straight connection to the garden.

We photographed a wedding at The Harper on October 18, 2026. The property gives you a few distinct rooms to work with: the olive grove and garden for vows and portraits, a private courtyard that holds cocktail hour under bistro lights, and the atrium, where chandeliers, gold mirrors, and wainscoting finish the reception without making it feel formal. Two getting-ready rooms are on site as well: the Sun Room, which is bright and looks out on the garden, and the Library, a darker lounge.

A Wedgewood timeline already keeps the day moving. We stay with that plan and still come back with pictures of the people in the room: a walk through the olive trees, a quiet minute in the garden, and the first look at the atrium once it is set for dinner.

What Couples Love About Wedgewood The Harper

  • Outdoor ceremony space among olive trees, with an indoor option when needed

  • Skylit atrium reception hall with accordion doors that open to the garden

  • A private courtyard for cocktails, often strung with bistro lights

  • Two distinct getting-ready rooms: the Sun Room and the Library

  • Costa Mesa location, a short drive from Newport Beach and John Wayne Airport

  • Space for a large guest list (the venue lists a capacity of 250)

It is a modern room with a garden attached, more city than country club, and it photographs cleanly from getting ready through the last dance.

Weddings at a Wedgewood are extremely similar.  Their staff often change locations so there is a consistent culture and experience.

So it really just comes down to what you want your wedding to look like and its proximity to where you want to get married.
