Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery

nd on the wedding day itself. They made everything feel organized and stress-free. Casey was amazing and was so helpful throughout the process!! We planned our wedding in 3 months and it was executed perfectly. We couldn't have done it without Casey and the amazing Casa Real team. On the wedding day, the venue looked so beautiful and everything ran smoothly. We felt well taken care of, and our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the food! We're so glad we chose Casa Real — it truly helped make our wedding day everything we hoped for.

h search in Napa and Sonoma County, we definitely saved the best for last with Casa Real! It was the last venue we looked at and as soon as we stepped into the entrance hall we knew it was the one! From the gorgeous venue and grounds, the delicious food, to the amazing Casa Real team, everything was perfect! It was such a joy working with Amanda, Kara, Jennifer, and Kelsea as they were all so kind and helpful and made sure that every step of the planning process was stress free! Everything was so effortless and exceeded all of our expectations on our big day and we couldn’t be happier! Our family and friends spoke so highly of the service, professionalism, accommodations, and of course the food! Our wedding day truly was perfect and we can’t thank the Casa Real team enough for making our vision come to life!

y details that go into planning a wedding, but Kelsea and others at Casa Real helped so much with that. They were always so easy to get a hold of, and they were beyond kind, warm, reassuring, and patient. When we first went to look at this venue, something just felt right about it, and when we decided to book it, there was no feeling of doubt that we made the best choice. Everything about that day felt perfect and seamless - the ceremony, cocktail hour, the drinks, the food… just everything. Everyone who worked with us that day made it so special for us and all of our guests. There really is magic in being a Casa Real couple, and we cannot recommend it enough. We are so grateful to Kelsea and everyone else there, and we are so unbelievably happy we chose this place 🤍 - Mimi & Mauricio

you plan the wedding of your dreams! Not only is this place beautiful as it is (which means you won’t have to spend a ton on decorations and flowers), but it has the BEST TEAM in the wedding industry! When my now husband and I were researching venues for our wedding, we came across Casa Real and immediately fell in love. Our goal was to find an all-inclusive venue that included everything you could think of from a day of coordinator to a fully open bar to furniture/linens/china, glassware, and flatware, a dressing suite, a suggested vendor list, and most importantly, we wanted a venue with delicious food and Casa Real offered all the above. Although, at the time our budget couldn’t quite afford it, we kept Casa Real as our #1 choice while we looked at other venues. We waited to visit Casa Real in person to rule out any other possible venues first, but once we saw it in person, we knew we were going to make our budget work! Tammy and August were our first contacts and they assisted us with scheduling an in person visit as well as choosing a date that worked within our budget. We chose non-peak season (March 2024) and although it rained on our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about it since our ceremony & reception were indoors. Once we chose the date, it was time to get to work! At first, I was a bit hesitant about not hiring a wedding planner, but I quickly became confident that Casa Real would take care of us the day of as they were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process, from start to finish. Any questions I had were answered promptly from one of the team members and they were amazing enough to also suggest ideas when I needed it. Some may think “too many hands in the cookie jar” might mess things up, but this team is so on top off it! I never felt like anything was missed or forgotten! The communication and strong attention to details within this team is incredible! We saw firsthand how amazing this group is when we attended our menu tasting. It was like watching superheroes in action. We were assigned a coordinator about 6 weeks out from our wedding and although it was short lived, Julia was great and assured us that her replacement would take care of us and sure enough, she was right! Kara, Jennie, and Casey came together as a team to ensure the last few months of wedding planning was smooth for us and we had the utmost confidence that they would make our wedding vision come to life! We couldn’t have asked for a better team of people to help make our big day so memorable! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was, how beautiful the decorations were, and how detailed everything was. Casa Real will always hold a special place in our hearts!

am there! Normally venues are concerned with protecting their venue and coordinating their venue team only. Casa Real's team goes above and beyond to ensure that couples are prepared, organized, and ready for a seamless event. I worked with Jenny and Haley the day of the event and they were amazing. Very professional with a can-do attitude despite some small things going awry. To top it all off, the venue is stunning. I HIGHLY recommend hosting your wedding or upcoming event at Casa Real.

o kind and answered all questions from my family. We had August as our coordinator and she was absolutely AMAZING. We had zoom calls before the wedding and she helped immensely by helping us make decisions, giving us friendly reminders, giving advice if we were not sure on anything, and she went above and beyond. I ended up forgetting to email her 2 documents the day before the wedding, and we ended up just filling out the paperwork at the rehearsal, super easy and oops on my end! We also had an issue with our transportation (not the venue's fault) and August stepped right in so I didn't have to. We had to shift some things around because of that, but August kept us informed if needed. She ensured we ate dinner, had appetizers, had drinks, and just went above and beyond. Even some of the guests were telling me how amazing she was! I also wanted to give a shout out to all their other staff as well. If I had simple questions, someone always answered the phone, answered my questions, and always sent me a follow up email so the conversation had a paper trail. Kara was also wonderful. She was also very patient with all questions my mom had and just such a sweet woman. All staff members are amazing, the venue itself is gorgeous, the food was delicious (we had the chicken with the cheese cream sauce and the pork shoulder) and we could not have asked for a better experience with Casa Real. Look no further for booking your wedding venue. It is 1000% worth it!

o finish. We were married in the lush Sun Garden that included a fountain and leafy green arbor (no flower arch necessary!), but if the weather had been bad, we had peace of mind knowing we could transition to an indoor ceremony in the warm, romantic light of the Amber Room. The venue also includes a bridal dressing room, spacious Reception Hall, and lovely Entrance Hall. Venue aside, the staff at Casa Real are true professionals. My husband and I felt well-supported throughout our wedding planning process, with prompt responses from the staff no matter how small the question. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary food tasting that's included when booking a wedding, and had a difficult time selecting our entrée courses - the food is SO delicious! Special shout-out to August Yocher who was our assigned Event Coordinator in the months leading up to our wedding and who directed our wedding weekend. August is detail-oriented, knowledgeable, kind, and overall a pleasure to work with! She handled so many logistics and details pertaining to the wedding, but most importantly she removed the stress from our wedding weekend. She's fantastic! Thank you August and Casa Real! We couldn't recommend this venue more highly.

ng. They helped to get all of the little details taken care of seamlessly. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a large space with beautiful views and high-end customer service. Our wedding coordinator, August, was also a huge contributor to making the day so incredible for us because of her calm, warm energy and professional demeanor.

answered all our emails so quickly. On the day of, the staff made sure my husband and I had water and left a platter of food in the bridal suite for us. Without our coordinator, Alyssa, I don’t know what we would have done. Everything ran so smoothly and even better than expected. I can’t wait to come back again and attend a wedding here as a guest!

and floor plans for your wedding or other celebration! 5 stars to this amazing venue with a beautiful view, romantic settings and wonderful staff!

modated our requests and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. In the months leading up to our wedding, they were always assist in any way they could, even if it was just general wedding planning questions we weren't sure of. Our day of coordinator, Alyssa, was in constant contact with us and made sure we had everything we needed to have a successful wedding. Their flexibility and generous hospitality really allowed us to have a stress free day. My husband and I didn't have to worry about little details like figuring our who would cue the DJ or ensuring the decorator re-purposed the flowers correctly, or coordinating the first look, etc. Our favorite thing about Casa is definitely their customer service. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations too. We were planning a fusion wedding so majority of our guests were Indian. Since we had Indian food catered for our Hindu wedding and other pre-wedding events leading up to the Christian ceremony, we decided to go with the in-house catering offered by Casa Real. We heard only good things about the chef's choice vegan/veggie option. In fact, during the tasting, my parents asked the chef if the dish could be made a little more spicy and they were so kind to accommodate the request. The Cuban sandwiches and the bacon wrapped dates were also amazing during the cocktail hour. They also allowed us to add appetizers from an outside caterer to their passed apps. The caterer just dropped off the food and Casa's team took care of passing them out with the other apps. The drinks were perfect as well. On top of having a full bar and the option to select his/her drinks, they have their signature cocktail menu that guests can pick from. Our wedding was just around 200 guests so the venue comfortably fit everyone. We loved that guests were able to flow from room to room (amber room, entrance hall, sun garden) so it definitely didn't feel too crowded at any given moment. It does seem like a pricey venue when you first see the costs, but keep in mind there are a lot of items included with that price. The most important thing to us for our wedding was for our guests to have a good time with dinner, drinks, and dancing. To be able to make Casa fit in our budget, we decided to go with the base package for pretty much everything they offered (linens, chairs, etc) and it worked perfect for us. The venue itself is already so beautiful that we didn't feel we had to add much more décor. We had an alter arch, aisle florals and a floral piece for the entrance table and a few other personal touches for the entrance hall. And with their complimentary floating candles, it tied everything together perfectly for us. The only downside to this is that the venue has a strict end time of 10pm due to the city laws. It's out of their control, but we wish the venue could be available past 10pm. Looking back, we are so happy we chose Casa Real. Their amazing customer service and convenience of having a lot in house made the whole planning process easier and the event itself so memorable.

office team, event planning team, day-of staff, venue, food…. From the first day we toured the property, my parents and husband and I were sold on this venue. It was apparent right away that the team is full of experts who know about every detail that goes in to a wedding, and if you don’t have the answer they are ready to guide you with options and recommendations. We felt like we were in such great hands with Kara and Antonella during the planning phase, and I cannot give high enough praise for Kelsea. Kelsea was our day-of coordinator, and all of my wedding party and family agreed she was a STAR throughout the day. She was so sweet and fun with our wedding party during the rehearsal, and everyone felt so comfortable with her on the day of the wedding. She was so good at checking in with us and our parents throughout the night. We did not hire a wedding planner, but we always felt like we had one with Casa running point. The day of our wedding ran so smoothly and we even were ahead of schedule at some points. Our day felt fun and exciting and EASY, and I attribute all of that to Casa’s expert team handling everything in the background. Casa’s preferred vendor list is top-notch and well curated so that they can recommend the best vendors in the area who are also all well-acquainted with each other. Every vendor we worked with was so complimentary of Casa Real and the work they do, and we couldn’t agree more. In addition to the impeccably appointed property (the foyer, sun garden, amber room, and grand salon are stunning even without wedding decor), one other standout from our wedding is easily the FOOD. From the snacks in the bridal suite, to the cocktail hour appetizers, to the generous and delicious entrees, to our late night donuts and french fries, to the well-stocked (and beautiful) bar, I was so proud that all of our wedding food was DELICIOUS. (One note in particular: we had multiple guests tell us this was by far the best vegetarian meal they had ever had at any wedding!) Everything about Casa Real deserves five stars - I am so thankful to their whole team!

, starting with @karaandrews and @alyssastewart, who were willing to listen to and make specific requests happen! the transition from the Amber room to the ballroom was seamless never saw any movement from the staff. It just happened behind the scenes. Now, regarding the MENU, the CHEFS and the staff hit it out of the park! Our guests, a week later, are still calling to tell us how great each food choice was. From the appetizers to the display tables, main entree, late-night snacks, and our Donut Flambee bar! HIGHLY recommend Casa Real @beetscatering for your next event, no matter the occasion. Mother of the bride, Lois

e on site for an in-person tour, the venue exceeded our expectations and we selected Casa Real as our wedding venue without hesitation! We chose are venue in April 2021 and got married in September 2022. Though the venue is breathtaking in itself, the support and level of organization and detail from the staff is exemplary! Our wedding date was nearly a year and a half away, and Kara was extremely responsive, patient, and always kind in answering any questions that we had. We met with our assigned coordinator, Alyssa, three months prior to our wedding date, and feel that she played such a pivotal role in the ease that we felt leading up to and on our wedding day. She was very attentive to our vision and made sure to honor and highlight various aspects of our wedding that we asked for. Alyssa ran our rehearsal efficiently. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I were able to just relax and stay present, as Alyssa took care of all of the details and frequently checked in with us to make sure we were eating enough and were hydrated; she pivoted when necessary to make sure we had enough time to eat, which we were so grateful for. Some of our vendors also commented on how impressed they were with the quality of Alyssa's work as our coordinator. The venue staff were amazing and were so kind to us and our guests. Our guests raved about the appetizers and dinner; many mentioned that this was the best wedding food they've had! We cannot thank the Casa Real staff enough for making our wedding day so magical!

tiful it was - it’s a lovely villa nestled in a field of vineyards - but also because of the professionalism and knowledge of the staff. After booking them, so many of our other vendors expressed how much they liked working with Casa Real - “They are such a well-oiled machined”, “They are so on top of things that if anything went wrong, you would never know”, “You can’t do better than Casa Real for a wedding venue in this area” are so of the comments we heard, and we couldn’t agree more. Tammy, our dedicated Casa Real wedding coordinator, did an excellent job in walking us through the planning process during our meetings. She is dedicated, hard-working, and so pleasant to work with. She, Kara, and the rest of the Casa Real staff were so kind, friendly, and very available by phone and email to answer our questions. We also loved the option of having the ceremony in either the Amber Room or the Sun Garden - this is REALLY important for this area. Especially with summer weddings, you never know if there will be California fires or 100+ F weather, so it’s so beneficial to have the option of switching indoors. We actually ended up switching the ceremony location a few days before because of inclement weather. The day of our wedding was a dream come true - everything ran so seamlessly, smoothly, and on time due to Casa Real’s expertise and careful planning. I HIGHLY recommend them if you’re looking for a wedding venue.

be stress-free and so much fun. (Special shoutout to our coordinator Alyssa Stewart, she was the absolute best!) They do not miss a single detail on anything for the wedding. We went into the wedding day knowing everything would go smoothly thanks to them. Not to mention, every single guest RAVED about how delicious the food was. You will not regret having your wedding here. :)

s extremely helpful and made wedding planning much easier with trackers, suggested timelines, etc. Our wedding coordinator Jasmyn was so organized during our planning meetings (and on the Wedding day), made us feel at ease, and prioritized our vision for the day! We also worked closely with Kara during the planning process who was very supportive and always prompt to respond to any questions we had. We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Casa Real in August and the day could not have been more perfect. We highly recommend Casa Real as a wedding venue!!

awless. From planning with Carly and Kara to the service on the day. The food was amazing, my guest raves about everything and my day of coordinator Carly, really ensured nothing was overlooked, even the smallest details. I can’t say thank you enough for making our wedding day so special.

mmend.

e armor of this comprehensive venue and the strengths are in its tight coordination of excellent staff. They are able to pull off very specific preferences as well as autopilot you to a coherent experience. Because of our tight deadline we were constantly on the ropes but Antonella and Kara made sure we were on time and everything fit together. The day of reception Antonella was our captain and expertly sailed us through the evening seamlessly and over bumps in our packed schedule smoothly. The stealth army-like staff was amazing and we felt like VIPs. My pickiest foodie friends were very happy and my booziest friends were too happy. We picked the boba bar as an add on and I think my boba fans had 5 each. And lastly it’s hard to forget that the grounds are impeccable and beautiful and feel like you are at a wine country resort. We feel incredibly lucky that we were able to find Casa Real at all but doubly so on short notice. Lastly I can see why these preferred vendors are preferred. Nicole Ha (florist), Bev Tanaka (cake design), DJ Rick/Amos Productions (DJ and photobooth), Courtyard Livermore (hotel and shuttle), and Phoenix Wang (photographer, not preferred yet but should be) were heroes assembling to make everything just work without a fuss. I am so grateful to these super wedding professionals and their seamless coordination with Casa Real needing only the absolute minimum essential input from us. They are collectively what made a 3 month prep wedding possible and I did not feel the need for an additional wedding planner. If I was sent back in time I’d definitely do it with Casa Real again.

Casa to a Saturday in June 2021 and again to a Saturday in July 2022 with absolutely no trouble at all. The staff at Casa were extremely accommodating and understanding throughout the entire process. All members of the Casa team we encountered were extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. We had not hired a wedding planner and planned everything ourselves. In fact, when I had reached out to several wedding planners, a couple had suggested we actually don't use their services since Casa has it under control! The Casa team made this process seamless for us. We worked with Antonella as our day of coordinator and she was super sweet, eager to help, and closely assisted in keeping the entire day on track. Overall, you cannot go wrong with Casa. They do everything right - the food, the drinks, the value. They make it so easy to focus on what is truly important that day.

including preparation, the three-course meal, the open bar, the venue layout, the event execution, etc. seemed to go exactly as planned with very little effort the day of the wedding. I can go on about every little detail for Casa Real, but ultimately I think it comes down to one of Genevieve's last statements to us before the big day. She told us that our only job the day of the wedding was to relax and enjoy the celebration. Casa Real easily deserves 5 stars because they allowed us to do just that, and we truly got to enjoy our reception thanks to their hard working, organized, professional, and personable team. Thank you Genevieve, Kara, and Casa Real!

ded to happen and come out at the right times during the evening. Genevieve and her staff made out lots of attention to detail and made sure the event is as organized as it possibly can be. I was very impressed with the level of service that we received and I still hear compliments from our guests till this day! The food and beverages were great as well. Overall, it was a fabulous time at Casa Real. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants an incredible experience for their special day!!!

It is gorgeous, both indoors and outdoors. Each room has architectural and furniture details that add character, and the outdoor spaces are tastefully landscaped. When all of these spaces are opened up (for example, during a reception), it gives guests plenty of options to mingle and roam per their needs. 2. It has a number of different areas that can accommodate multiple different potential flows for your event and large groups of people without feeling intimidating or claustrophobic. For us, having different areas to do the Baraat, Ceremony, and Reception was important, and Casa Real could accommodate all of these needs. 3. It is located in the heart of the Pleasanton vineyards, and is relatively easy to get to from multiple parts of the Bay Area. 4. All of the indoor and outdoor spaces can be used in multiple different ways - this was important to us as we wanted to have an outdoor ceremony, but also wanted the flexibility to move it indoors should the weather be less than ideal. Casa Real’s variety of spaces made it possible to execute this plan B when it actually did rain the day of our wedding. What really set Casa Real apart for us was the engaging and wonderful staff: 1. They are completely on top of the details and help guide you through the planning process from the moment you sign the contract. 2. They are responsive, proactive, and have a positive attitude, from dealing with concerns to brainstorming solutions to problems. 3. They are extremely attentive to their clients’ needs, creatively finding ways to meet requests and working with you to make sure the day meets your vision while still being logistically feasible. 4. They have a wide variety of preferred vendors who can help transform the space for whatever vibe you are going for in your event. 5. They have been doing this for a while, and have seen quite a bit, and so are prepared for almost every eventuality - case in point, our last minute changes when it was raining on our wedding day. Casa Real made our dream wedding a reality - and we cannot thank them enough for it! Here are a few photos from the event: https://manaliannephotography.com/casa-real-wedding-pleasanton/

and let me just say she was the absolute best! She did everything in her power to ensure our day was perfect and all with a smile on her face. We received so many compliments on how smooth everything went and I owe it all to her. Kara was another member we worked with who was very helpful in our planning process. She helped with our food choices, decor, vendor selections, and anything else you could imagine. She was so quick to respond to any question and was very detail oriented. I appreciate everyone at Casa! Not to mention the food was absolutely unbelievable. I wish my wedding didn’t have to end.

hard-working, genuine and responsive. The culture is extremely client-centered, which was welcomed when there are so many people/vendors to work with. They really made it easy for us to have an authentically us wedding. Our wedding coordinator and Alli worked extremely well together in getting everything done leading to and during the wedding. The venue is gorgeous, well maintained both inside and outside. There are four different spaces for different ‘feels’ for your respective event, and we happily used three and it was perfect. We got the perfect fall photos we were hoping for! We are extremely fortunate to have gotten married at Casa Real!

are so helpful with every step of the way and even the day of! The attention to detail, wonderful help, attentive service; I would say they are worth every penny. The food options are amazing and their late night treats and appetizers are all highlights of conversations! They have surely made out wedding day a very memorable one and can only say wonderful things about the venue, staff and the food!

all our many questions promptly and walked us through each and every step of our wedding day months in advance. They teamed with our other vendors to create the most magical wedding day. Our coordinate Alli was so organized, professional and made sure the bride did not lift a finger on the day of the wedding. We cannot say enough good things about Casa Real!

s and what needed to be done by what date. We had a day of wedding coordinator which was one of the best things we did. We didn't have to worry about coming in the day of and decorating the venue, it was all done by the day of wedding coordinator. The food was amazing! Our guests loved the venue and the food which is definitely a plus!! The coffee and tea bar was also a plus!! Everything was what we expected and more and we we're so happy we chose this venue for our wedding!

lutely breath-taking. Our tour guide through the property gave us some much information and there was a lot to take in. The entrance room is furnished beautifully. The bridal suite was perfect for my large group of bridesmaids and I to take pictures and get ready in. The amber room and fireplace was the perfect setting for our winter wedding. The staff at Casa Real deserve 5 stars as well. Our wedding coordinator was Zainab and she did a phenomenal job and was so sweet. From the planning, meetings, details, e-mails back and forth and the actual wedding day she went above and beyond her duties. I was worry free on the day of my wedding and literally didn't have to stress about anything because Zainab took care of everything. Clint and I were so catered to and felt so special. It was the best night of our lives and Zainab had a huge role to play in that. The food was to die for and the servers were extremely professional and friendly. The bartending staff was so accommodating to our wedding guests and to us. It was the most magical night of our lives and I would refer anyone instead in a venue in the bay area to take a look at Casa Real. They include so much and are worth every penny!

the look and feel of Casa and of course the fact that it could hold our large wedding guest list easily was a huge plus! We did not want to just move forward with the first place we saw, so we shopped around a bit and ended up comparing every single venue to Casa Real and none of them could measure up in our eyes! We worked with Samantha Vavek during our entire wedding process, and she stayed with us from beginning to end! I could go on and on about how amazing she was and her attention to detail and experience in this industry really showed and really calmed my nerves! We got married about two weeks ago and we still have people coming up to us telling us how amazing the food was, how gorgeous of a venue we had, and how it was one of the most beautiful wedding venues they have ever been to! One of our must haves for our special day was the late night snacks Casa Real offers – we went with the cookies and milk, slider station, and French fry bar and let me tell you..I would have eaten every crumb from each of those stations if I didn’t have to squeeze into my dress :) DELICIOUS! Overall such a great experience and already have been recommending it to engaged friends as venue options!

ur Zainab (Z)! Wow, words cannot explain how easy they made it for me as a bride. I am a pretty detailed individual with high expectations and they just exceeded them all! All emails were responded to super detailed and timely. All the paperwork they have you fill out is really to make it smooth sailing for you. Now for the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding, all my wedding party and family could not stop raving about Z! I remember I was so impressed by her at the Casa Real tasting that I requested her specifically for our day. Best decision I've ever made! On the wedding day, her calm tone and ability to delegate in a professional demeanor made everyone fall in love with her. She knew how to approach anyone in any given situation and accomplish whatever needed to be accomplished. Not only is the venue stunning as is and the food absolutely delicious, the pricing for what you get is out of this world. Brides - do yourself a huge favor and have your wedding at Casa Real.

ave the entire facility and it's such an intimate setting. Absolutely loved the lobby area and the decor. Z (don't know the spelling of her name) was very professional and answered the questions we had at the time. I feel like you really get a bang for your buck at this venue. The fact they are so accommodating is a huge plus for us, as long as you let them know ahead of time. We have one more venue to look at in two weeks but it looks like we are definitely leaning towards Casa Real.

venues, stop now. This is where you want to be. They hold hundreds of weddings each year, and now we know why. We worked with Sandy as our wedding coordinator, but every member of their team was super responsive and incredibly helpful during our planning process. Our wedding guests raved about the aesthetics, the food (omg the food), and the overall atmosphere. The staff at Casa Real are great about making sure every single detail is covered so you don't have to worry about anything on that day. And if you opt for the day-of coordinator, they make sure to keep you on schedule so that everything you have planned works to perfection. Our guests even noted that nothing felt rushed throughout our event, and we owe that all to the team at Casa Real. Stop looking around and book this place!

he team at Casa Real. We worked closely with our Wedding Day Coordinator, Zainab, for over a year planning our event and she never let us down! Kara was also tremendous, and neither of them ever got tired of handling our many questions, hearing about our wild ideas, or helping us get every detail exactly right. The food is delicious, the venue is absolutely stunning, and the staff is incredible. Responsive, helpful, practical, and full of wisdom, the team at Casa Real made our wedding day so incredibly fun and perfect. If you're considering booking Casa Real for your wedding, DO IT. You will not regret it!!!

e to easily handle all of our needs, and the staff was amazing. The entire staff was professional and accommodating, consistently in communication with us as we went through the process of planning and getting ready for our wedding. Casa also had events that made our planning go much smoother. Their list of vendors is filled with a bunch of perfect people (Tyler Vu, Fantasy Sound, Asiel Design, and Thomas Hughes for a few shoutouts). In addition, they hosted multiple vendor meetups on site that allowed us to meet the vendors, try some things that we might want at our wedding, and also just get a feel for the place. The tasting event they hosted gave us a great feel for the menu, and as each and every item managed to come out perfectly for the 150 or so couples that were there, we knew that the venue could easily handle our large number of guests (300+!). In addition to the great food, during the wedding they managed to meet all of the dietary needs of our guests, and did it without a problem. Finally, a huge shout out to Sandy, our wedding day coordinator, who was a savior multiple times on our wedding night and made everything go smoothly. The wedding night for us went perfect, and the night flowed so well that there were many times we forgot there was anything to do until she came and snagged us for our speeches, cake cutting, etc. when it was needed. Thank you Casa Real!

d very attentive to your needs/expectations. Our day-of wedding coordinator, Zainab, was very organized and helped streamline all the choatic, logistical decisions we had to make into something much more manageable. There were some mixed messages from our family unfortunately on certain wedding details, but she was extremely patient with these conflicts (although I can imagine it must have been frustrating). I can image wedding coordinating must be an extremely stressful job, but you would never think it given how enthusiastic and friendly the Casa Real staff always are. My friends still comment on how stress-free I was on my wedding day, and it was all because Zainab handled everything that day. I also appreciate that she and the staff made sure I was well fed and hydrated during the whole event, since there's no way I would have remembered or had time to to eat otherwise. Indian weddings can notoriously run overtime (I've been to ones where the ceremony itself runs an hour or two late); we still get compliments on how ours was a rarity because everything ran perfectly on schedule, thanks to Zainab and the other staff who put everything into motion. I hope one of my friends gets married here so I can visit this beautiful venue once again!

e whole wedding day. Day of Coordinator kept everything on schedule. Hands down the best choice for wedding venue!! :)

with them. Highly recommend!

responses via email. I was planning my wedding while living out of state and they were so great in helping me plan from so far away. I mainly communicated with Kara, Alyssia, and Casey, and they were absolutely wonderful. Casa Real provides diagrams, timelines, and lists for just about anything you might need to know for having your wedding there. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and to use their day-of-coordinator (I had Casey). Having a coordinator during the day's events was extremely helpful! It would have been so chaotic without her. The only issue I had was that Casa Real was a little more expensive than I had hoped, but they really do offer so much in their package. So many of my guests said they loved the venue and the food. It truly is a gorgeous venue and their staff is the best! In order to go with this venue, I tried to cut costs in other areas of my wedding and it was definitely worth it as I couldn't have been more pleased with the environment of my wedding. Although Casa Real is a little expensive, I'm somewhat surprised it doesn't cost more with everything they offer. Fridays and Sundays are cheaper than Saturday, however because of certain circumstances we went with Saturday. I wasn't quite sure what to expect before visiting the location with it being in Pleasanton, however once I saw the site, nowhere else in my mind compared. Their reception room, outside ceremony site, inside ceremony room, and bridal room are all right next to each other. Their bridal room is so large and gorgeous. I didn't think we needed that big of a room, until we were using it and realized it is such a great size for everyone to get ready in. I couldn't have been more pleased with my wedding at Casa Real, I just wish that the day didn't feel like it went by too quickly. If I had to do it over again, one of the only things I would probably change is going ahead and paying for an extra hour (which I originally thought would have been completely unnecessary). I had wanted only about 150 guests and so having about 200 made it much more difficult to talk to everyone in the amount of time. However, their reception room is so large that even with 200 guests there was still plenty of room to dance!

nds and get married there. After visiting a number of venues in San Jose and the East Bay there was no question Casa Real was the best choice for us. The venue is beautiful and the service and quality of food/drinks is really affordable compared to other venues we explored. I love planning/organizing and the staff at Casa Real is incredibly detail oriented, which helped me feel comfortable that our wedding day would go smoothly. When you book the venue they provide you with a CD containing documents, pictures and details for every aspect of the wedding. They help you go through each aspect of the wedding, even details you wouldn't think of! The food tasting was a ton of fun too! Several months before the wedding we went to the venue for a food tasting with other couples getting married in the same months as us. We got to try 6 full sized entrees, 2 salads, 2 soups and all of the appetizers. We used a day of coordinator for our wedding day and she helped make sure the day ran smoothly, make sure I had time to breathe and relax. Everyone loved the food, drinks and venue and were very impressed with our wedding day. We couldn't have been happier that we picked Casa Real for our wedding.

as soon as I visited Casa that it was the place for me. Be advised that they are in high demand and for damn good reason. Don't wait until 6 months before your desired date because it more than likely won't happen. Before I get to the impeccable service I'll start with the actual venue. The options are endless because it's basically a clean canvas. You can get married in 3 different locations and have the reception in one of two rooms. I chose the amber room for both and they flipped the room during cocktail hour. I don't think this is the norm here, but our wedding was 100 people and too small for the grand ballroom which can easily fit 200+. We could have rented furniture, draping and/or a partition, but let's face it weddings are already expensive. This place is pricey, but worth every single penny. Casa comes with a sweet candle package that really sets the stage for romance. I wanted a darker candlelit setting and they nailed it. The food is REALLY good, so much more than I expected and I'm pretty damn picky. The drinks are also tasty. We designed two signature drinks that were delicious and the wine was actually really good as well. They have a no shot policy and I think it's the smartest thing ever. I myself am a shot taker and had I had the option I would have been much more drunk than was necessary. I was just the right amount of intoxicated. This seems like a silly thing to include in a review, but for a drinker like myself it's helpful info. The SERVICE -wow, I can't give them enough praise. I am borderline, ok, I am a control freak and the team here put any and all worries I had to ease. I worked with Kara and Z and I never waited more than an hour for a response. That is huge for a person like myself. I expect responsiveness and thorough responses at that when it comes to wedding planning and these women blew my mind. If only all vendors performed at this level. People need to take some serious notes from this dream team. I asked questions a normal person wouldn't ask and I asked a LOT of them and they never once seemed bothered or anything but happy to help me. I could literally go on and on about both Z and Kara. Much love ladies!! Xoxo DAY OF -Even if you are the most prepared person out there, as I consider myself to be, you still can't adequately prepare for your wedding day because the emotions and anxiety leading up to it get to you. Things like the fact that you're starving around the time you take pictures. NOT to worry! They prepare the bridal suite with drinks and snacks and follow you with them as you are taking photos. Sounds minimal, but it's huge. I decided to switch to sandals pretty early in the evening and forgot about it during the garter toss. Oops. Z totally had my back and went and grabbed my shoes along with my money bag dance purse. She guided us throughout the whole rehearsal and wedding day process and I will always be thankful for that. All and all if you want a beautiful venue with a team that is going to make your wedding planning as stress free as possible go with Casa Real. I guarantee you'll be writing a novel of a review as I am now. ;)
