The Estate on Second started as the Southern Counties Gas Company headquarters in 1923. A century later, the bones remain — Georgian Colonial architecture, Palladian windows, exposed beams and worn brick that no one makes anymore.
Jay's Catering found the building and saw what it could be. They restored it, designed every detail, and built a venue from the ground up. The same team that runs the kitchen created the space you're standing in.
The Crystal Ballroom seats up to 175 under original chandeliers. The Attic handles intimate gatherings with hardwood floors and soft light. The Terrace overlooks downtown for ceremonies and cocktails. The Veranda offers a quiet brick patio for guests who need air.
Walking distance to the best of downtown Santa Ana — restaurants, bars, the arts district. Your guests can explore before or stay out after.One company. One vision. Venue and catering from the same family, third generation, since 1967.
The Estate on Second may be a recent addition to Orange County’s hospitality scene, but its historic structure has been located in the heart of Santa Ana since 1923. What began as a building to house the Southern Counties Gas Company, has transitioned from office to restaurant and much more. Once we laid eyes on this historic, magnificent building, starting our own venue made perfect sense.
Over the years, exposed beams and worn brick have shaped the building’s resilient framework. Tiles and wood floors from a previous life mark the entryway that leads into a grand room full of arched, Palladian windows flooding the area with natural light.
