Guests are welcomed into a striking industrial-chic setting surrounded by a world-class collection of more than 100 rare and exotic automobiles valued at approximately $70 million. What truly sets the Marconi apart is our hands-on, service-driven approach to event planning. Our experienced team works closely with each client from inquiry to execution, providing thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and seamless coordination to ensure every detail is handled with care. Designed to host weddings, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, and milestone celebrations, the Marconi offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop paired with a polished, professional event experience. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, a portion of net proceeds from every event directly supports children’s charities throughout Orange County, so when you host an event at the Marconi, you’re also helping children in need. Thanks for helping us help kids!
