Casa Blanca on Brushy Creek

nized, and I didn't have to worry about anything except the weather. Rain was supposed to appear around 5:30 that day (just as our ceremony was scheduled to begin), so Michelle suggested we push up the ceremony by a few minutes. We did at it was perfect. No rain! The space itself is beautiful. My guests enjoyed the patio and the beautiful lighting as well as the creek next to the property. There is plenty of woodland scenery for guests to observe as they explore the area. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I could not have asked for a better wedding day.

ged. I booked the all inclusive wedding package for September 2020 in November 2018. I was so excited to have my wedding at Casa Blanca because of its beauty I unfortunately overlooked a lot of warning signs from the beginning. The communication just to even schedule a tour was extremely lacking. When my coordinator was finally assigned to me, it was the same person I had been communicating with for the last year and a half. Again, scheduling our first meeting was a headache- I had to follow up multiple times before I got an answer. After our meeting, Covid hit and we had to postpone until March. I gave them an extra star because I do appreciate their willingness to move the date for me, but again, after a couple of months of mismanaged communication. Just weeks before the wedding I was told we would be assigned a new coordinator. Most people would be upset by this, but I was excited because I was hoping I would receive someone who was more helpful and organized. At my first meeting with the new coordinator, both the new and old coordinator showed up over an hour late to our zoom meeting. The new coordinator took the call from her car and wrote nothing down, and the old coordinator’s phone died and she never joined again. It basically defeated the purpose of this hour long meeting because I had to type out the details and send them to the new coordinator myself (and details were still missed on the wedding day). I had to wait over a month to receive the final day of timeline after this meeting, which ultimately affected the other vendors that were involved. On the actual wedding day the doors were supposed to be open at 8am. Not only were the doors not open at 8, I couldn’t even get ahold of the coordinator until 9:30. This pushed back hair and makeup, cake delivery, and ultimately photos. We did not see a representative from Casa Blanca until after 10, and it was the facility manager, someone I had not met until then. When the coordinator finally arrived to the venue, she did not check in with me, meaning the first time I saw her was after the ceremony. My mom had to practically chase her down to fix errors (such as incorrect glassware, linens, and table set up) and ask questions. I am disappointed overall with the management of my event, because I feel like I asked for the bare minimum- I truly only needed day of coordination including creating (and executing) a day of timeline and venue management. If you have your heart set on this venue (and trust me, I understand why you might!) I would 100% recommend not using their all inclusive package and booking your own coordinator. I can’t speak to their customer service if they are not coordinating the wedding, but I imagine they would be pretty hands-off and let you do your own thing! For $10,000 I did not get the service I deserved.

so thankful for her, she was so on top of everything and made sure that everything was perfect on our wedding day! Thank you so much Casa Blanca! I cannot wait to see all the pictures!

ouples. We tried to schedule a tour by phone but was told to fill out a form. After we filled out the form we were never contacted or given any information. Not very professional

erything went smoothly and was an absolute fairytale, we could not have dreamed of a more perfect day. The day of coordinator, Cynthia, took over communications with all vendors approximately 1 week prior to the wedding and organized the schedule, taking a lot of pressure off of ourselves. However, leading up to the wedding, responses were not always prompt as we would often have to send a follow-up e-mail for a response. Additionally, responses were at times unclear leaving room for miscommunication resulting in short responses from the venue making us feel as if we were an inconvenience despite us paying thousands of dollars for their services. Ultimately, we would highly recommend Casa Blanca as our wedding day went perfectly and that is what matters!

lculated the budget wrong more than once, thank goodness we double checked. On the final visit where we pick the linens and other final details, she wasn’t there. No communication she wouldn’t be there, when I had emailed her earlier in the week that I’d be coming in. Just overall very unprofessional. She never knew who I was or when my wedding was, even when it was getting close to the day. With my communication I had with Cynthia I had zero faith the day of would go smoothly. Daniel on the other hand was very helpful and professional. He helped us plan/pick the final details. One hiccup on the day of but it was fixed very quickly. Checking out of the venue after the wedding was over... we were out of the venue on time and cleaned up as we should have/as we were asked to. My coordinator asked very specifically if the manager on site (casa Blanca staff member) wanted to do a walk through to make sure everything was cleaned as they wanted. Site manager said no everything looked great. Guess not because we got a small fraction of the deposit back for 1 leaving the venue late and 2 not cleaning everything how they wanted. Both of which were clearly incorrect, but since it’s at their discretion there’s nothing to be done. It could have gone much much worse, but I would have paid more for it to not be such a battle the whole time.

e able to be seated inside! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. I will say, at times, communication was difficult since they are only open on Wednesdays for their open house from 6-8pm, so email communication was super important. I did have to wait a bit for responses, but overall, they responded in a timely manner. I do want to say that Kristin was extremely flexible with last minute changes and definitely helped make the process as easy as possible! All of our guests LOVED the venue and how pretty the grounds were! Thank you for helping to make our day memorable!

derstorms on the morning of our wedding). The grounds were beautiful though, so lush and green. We used one of their day-of coordinators, Cynthia, to help ensure that we stuck to our timeline and that all the vendors knew what to do on the day. They have ample space for both the bride and groom to get ready at the venue. It was so convenient to have everything all in one place. I am so happy we chose Casa Blanca for our special day!

or the day. Highly recommend!

they have renovated. Ask for Kristin to be your wedding coordinator! She is amazing and does her job flawlessly. She made sure everything went smoothly and remembered every detail.

up was better than the pictures! It was a dream come true! I can not even put into words how above and beyond they went for me!

nt perfectly and everyone was complimenting the venue and how beautiful it was, our photos turned out great because of the gorgeous venue and the area surrounding it.

choose which vendors of yours you wish to use (with the exception of requirement to use their bartenders and security). My one challenge was the kitchen facilities are very limited, which can make preparation challenging for catering. I would suggest visiting the venue with your catering company to help them plan logistics.

a Blanca was great on having us visit the location on off times although sometimes they were a little non responsive. Once you book you have to be the one contacting them for questions or needs. If your guest list is larger and need to sit people on the adjacent sides of the house make sure your DJ knows to set up speakers there as well or else your guests will sort of be sitting in silence until the dance starts and people start moving around. Overall gorgeous place and we loved having our wedding reception there.

s a great rain plan as it has a separate building to move the ceremony or reception if needed. Some reviews gave the highest compliments for the appearance of the venue but recommended bringing in your own vendors. We did that although Casa Blanca provided the bartenders. They were great. Cynthia and Daniel with Casa Blanca were very nice and accommodating and so our experience was good. On occasion, they weren't as responsive as I would have preferred but not enough of a problem to be a deal breaker. We have no regrets and would do it all again.

e. There were a few maintenance issues in the Bride and Grooms' rooms, but were insignificant in comparison to just how beautiful the event turned out to be. We got nothing but gushing compliments about how beautiful the place was and how efficient the service turned out to be. I definitely recommend it!

ng us ideas about things. It was perfect!!! I wish I could do it all again!

with and didn't mind at all when I asked him to come by about 10 different times to take my family and bridesmaids to check out the space. We chose their all inclusive package- wedding and reception, food, dj, photo booth, complete set up and take down, linens, etc. They made everything about the wedding planning SO stress free. My day of coordinator, Naomi, was absolutely amazing!! There was not a single thing that went poorly on our wedding day. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly and was stress free. In addition to Daniel and Naomi being awesome, the day of and everything provided by Casa Blanca turned out great. Our guests raved about how great the italian menu was and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. I definitely recommend casa blanca and their staff to anyone looking for a place to have their wedding and/or reception.

an honestly say the wedding went off without a hitch. The Venue was decorated beautifully, the staff was friendly and treated my guest’s great, the day of coordinator that came with my package Pam was FANTASTIC, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and place to have my wedding. They had wonderful package rates which accommodated all of our needs and made our day the most beautiful day ever! If you are looking for an affordable, beautiful, venue with wonderful views of the creek this is your place!

ordinator that is included in the bundle price which was wonderful! Both Naomi and Cynthia were truly amazing at taking care of absolutely everything! They stayed in constant communication with me before the wedding and made sure that all went smoothly on the day of. I was able to just enjoy my wedding and that is priceless.

, one of which being a beautiful new front door and a closed in pavilion. My only regret in going with Casa Blanca is not pushing for hiring my own staff. They really have a lot they offer as add-ons (from DJ to day-of-coordinating) and many things they require to be there own people, like bartenders. I highly suggest getting outside vendors as much as possible. Our waitstaff we hired was inappropriately dressed and did not complete the duties they were given, the bartenders mixed overly strong drinks running quickly through the most popular liquor, and worst of all, the day of coordinator was not in a pleasant mood during the entire day. After meeting with her multiple times and agreeing on certain things being done, I was disappointed the day of when there was a lack of follow through on many things, the biggest of which being not letting the guests know that the photo booth was open during cocktail hour (no one knew and we did not get our money's worth). In spite of the terrible service, I still recommend this venue.

about 3 hours, we had to buy more and ask that drinks were not all liquor
