The California Ballroom and the Pacific Ballroom are both on the 2nd floor of the hotel. They each have a foyer for your cocktail hour prior to the reception. The Sunset Deck and the Linai Deck are on the 5th floor of the Hilton Anaheim. The Avalon Balroom on the 1st floor of the Hilton, is perfect for smaller gaherings such as a haldi ceremony or a pooja.

Numbers represent the maxium number of guests that can be seated with space taken into account for a mandap, tables and chairs, stage, DJ booth, and dance floor. The ballrooms can be separated into smaller sections to accommodate your needs. Similarly the outdoor decks can be setup for your event.

You could easily have your haldi ceremony + pooja/prayer on Friday during the day, followed by your sangeet or garba on Friday night, an outdoor ceremony in gorgeous Orange County on Saturday morning or afternoon, followed by an outdoor lunch on the deck. And last but not least the cocktail hour and the reception. The best part? The whole wedding weekend is at one centrally located, beautiful hotel, which is very convenient for you and your guests. Yet, each of your wedding events could be held in a totally unique location - no repeating spaces.

Ceremony & Baraat Info

Outdoor Ceremony Flame:

allowed, no worries.

Indoor Ceremony Flame:

allowed with size/height restrictions. Most priests are aware of the size, type, vessel for the flame that the hotel allows.

Anand Karaj:

ShaadiShop recognizes that an Anand Karaj ceremony is traditionally performed in a Gurdwara. However if your guest count is larger than the space capacity at the local Gurdwara then the Hilton Anaheim would be happy to work with you to setup the ceremony per your needs. Here are some tips for a non-Gurdwara Anand Karaj.

The Hilton Anaheim is conveniently located close to the Buena Park and Santa Ana Gurdwaras.

Baraat:

Car, elephant, bus, horse - the Grand Plaza is a beautiful space lined with palm trees for a brilliant baraat!
Check out the double decker bus baraat at this Indian wedding!

Rain Back Up

The hotel keeps an extra space open in case of inclement weather. Your catering manager at the Hilton will be in touch to discuss options. Recommended Reading: Wedding Day Rain; What Could Go Wrong?

Nearby Temples/Mosques

Here is a list of all of the Gurdwaras, Hindu Mandirs Jain Centers, Jamat Khanas and Masjids in Southern California. ShaadiShop has no affiliation with any of these organizations. The list is provided as a convenience since many South Asian weddings involve religious ceremonies.
