Sunol's Casa Bella

y difficult decision a relatively easy and stress-free one. They have been so kind and understanding throughout the rescheduling process, and we know that they'll do everything possible to make our wedding day special. We've already planned parts of our event with Marie and Veena, who are both super professional, put together, and friendly. About the venue itself, we especially love their pergola, the patio area, and all of the nearby photo spots -- Sunol is such a charming town. Finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't also mention the Casa Bella bistro -- they make incredibly tasty sandwiches and have wonderful service.

was absolutely perfect. It was rustic, glam, and everything we wanted. Aside from some floral centerpieces, the venue did not need much decorations. No need for draping or anything like that which saved us a lot of money. The food was delicious. We decided on buffet style with Mediterranean chicken, salmon, and filet mignon. We had a lot of compliments on the food. Everything was so perfect. We can not thank you enough.

tdoor ceremony to the chic indoor reception. What sealed the deal for us is that they provide EVERYTHING you could ever want and need. By that I mean, things such as signage, card holders, easel stands, wine barrels, games for cocktail hour and many more. I mean who wants to purchase these on their own and just have it stored somewhere after the wedding or resell them right? I sure am glad I didn't need to worry about purchasing these things. Casa Bella comes with the package when you sign that contract such as food, drinks, seat covers, linens, etc. They are very much open to all ideas you could ever possibly think of. I married into a Mexican family and they love to party so we actually paid for additional hours to party longer. We were allowed to work with our own vendors except for the DJ because they have a preferred list. It's kind of easier that way but there were some things we didn't like about our DJ when it came to communication. I stress out so easily and the littlest details can get lost in all the planning but I am very grateful to work with Marie, Leann and Dani who were very patient and easy to work with. They answered all the questions I had and helped me fill in the details that would have been missed otherwise. Words cannot express how I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED our wedding. Our guests had the best time! I am beyond grateful for the team I worked with and how beautifully they put this wedding together. I just want to re-live it again and again. Thank you all! Super grateful for each and everyone of you!

ne, and the first to check out, and I just fell in love with everything there! After visiting about 6 venues, Casa Bella was "The One". It was the only venue that offered everything we wanted. When looking for wedding venues in the Bay Area, we had a few criteria that needed to be met. One, we wanted the venue to have beer, wine, and hard liquor. Most wineries only allowed beer and wine, and not hard liquor (and that's no fun =P). Most importantly, it had to be pet-friendly, as our ring bearer was our pup. Casa Bella is your one-stop shop for wedding planning. What made me fall in love with the venue was the decor! I love the natural, woody, gardeny, farm-style, and how I describe Casa Bella is "modern rustic". It was farm-y, yet chic, and there are super cute areas all over where you can take photos. The ceremony site is GORGEOUS! And the venue is tucked away in the small, quaint little town of Sunol, so it feels like you're in the countryside, yet only a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley. They have their chef on-site that prepares the food in the kitchen, and the food was delicious! Casa Bella has preferred vendors for DJ, photobooth, photography, and other services, and it made it really easy to choose, since they are all really good professionals. The staff, Marie, Leann, and Veena, were so personable, genuinely kind, and were so helpful with everything. Wedding planning was so easy with their help! Whatever we envisioned for our wedding, Marie, Leann, and Veena were eager to help us. Leann was our day-of coordinator and she really took a lot of the stress off our hands, everything went smoothly! Having our wedding at Casa Bella was one of the best decisions we made as a couple. I wish we can go back to that day and do it all over again. Thanks to the great staff at Casa Bella, it was really the best day of my life!

quiry and received a response extremely fast. Within a week, we had toured the venue and reserved our date (we reserved our wedding date in August of 2018 and got married in October 2019). The venue itself has so many items included, we barely had to decorate! Our ceremony and reception ran so smoothly, and all of our guests had a wonderful time. We met with our day of coordinator twice before our wedding to go over details. We also attended their wedding fair and got to taste some of the food options which was very helpful. The food was delicious, and we received numerous compliments after our wedding. They even let us bring a taco truck in for a late night snack, which our guests loved! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Bay Area. This was the best day of our lives and we could not picture celebrating at any other venue!

rovided a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. The rustic and elegantly decorated main room fit our theme perfectly. We added a few touches to the space but honestly, the venue looks great and wedding-ready as is. We were able to borrow a variety of complimentary easels, signs and other similar supplies which was tremendously helpful. The Casa Bella team was invaluable throughout our entire wedding process. From scheduling our first tour through the end of our special day, Marie, Leann, Dani, Alfredo and the rest of the staff went above and beyond for us. They are accommodating and they genuinely care about the details and about creating the best experience possible for everyone involved. Marie and Leann were so great about helping us stay within our budget and accommodating where possible - we truly could not have had this magical wedding without their support. After our wedding, our guests only had positive things to say about the yummy food and service throughout the wedding and just were in awe with the whole space - from the lovely details in the outdoor ceremony area to the beautiful lighting in the event room, rustic details in the outdoor lounge, and even the cleanliness and fabulous decor of the restrooms! We will happily recommend this venue space to our friends and family members. Thank you again Casa Bella staff for a magical day! Casa Bella staff will now forever hold a special place in our hearts ♥️

decorate the venue and you have so much support from the venue owners, our second parents Veena and Jamie. Everything we asked for, we got or came to a compromise everyone was happy with. When I got anxious, they calmed me down. I did not anticipate this process to be easy, but they made it so enjoyable for my husband and I. The icing on the cake, we have a brick with our name on it on the wall of love, so every year when we want to go to their cafe, we can reminisce on the most magical day of our lives. Tips: you should invest in directional signs to guide guests to the venue from the freeway exit. During traffic times, it can get a bit hectic. Make sure your schedule is on time, they make sure you eat before you leave the venue for sunset photos, etc. (You’ll thank them, just be aware)

ur wedding coordinators, Leann and Dani, worked with our every request no matter how last minute. We heard that it can be pretty stressful planning a wedding, but thanks to them, we never ever really felt that way. The venue itself is already so naturally beautiful that we didn’t even need to do much to spruce up the place. It has that rustic contemporary look that we’re really fond of. Every wall, every angle, every detail is picturesque. Honestly, you could probably get away without a photo booth (but get one anyway because your guests will love it). One cool thing about this place is that they are dog friendly. Not only did our golden retriever, Simba, walk down the aisle during the ceremony, his two doggie pals got to stick around inside for the reception to hang out with him as well. Look no further and book this place for your wedding. You will not regret it.

s, were Marie, Leann, and Courtinie. They all were very friendly and were willing to coordinate with my last minute requests. We opted for an all-inclusive package, including: Casa Bella’s base decoration + our decorations, ceremony, reception & food (the food quality was great). For busy couples who are planning the wedding together with no help from families (like us), this is a place you should consider. They give you freedom to customize your wedding but also give support when you need certain help. The venue has a great view outdoors and is nice indoors (and can do a wedding in either place depending on size), so that allows the wedding parties to take great pictures. Also, the bridal suite was amazing and you can request for staying there overnight. Though we personally had some schedule challenges fitting Casa Bella’s schedule, overall it was great. Highly recommended.

ous! What we loved about Casa Bella that we didn't really get at other venues we visited was that it was already decorated with its own character as is. All we brought in addition were flowers and signs - so easy. There is so much thought put into the venue from the cute backyard patio area with the galvanized flowers to the unique lighting to the honeymoon suite. Most other venues, I felt I would have needed to spend a lot more money to get the same rustic but elegant feel that Casa Bella already had. Also, they are constantly updating and adding to the venue. I remember every time I would return for a meeting, there would be something new! The only thing I would have wished we had was more shade (possibly umbrellas). Our wedding day was particularly sunny and hot and cocktail hour was outside. Many of our guests crowded under the gazebo for the shade. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else we could have asked for! The coordinator: we worked with Leann who was absolutely amazing! She was always quick to respond to emails and whatever problem we threw at her she always figured a way out. We couldn't have done it without her! Thanks, Leann! The DJ: we went with Tony Sparks! He was great and read the crowd really well. From the moment dancing started, the dance floor was never empty.

is beautiful! You don't have to add much to their space, which is one of the big reasons we booked this venue, less stress! We had about 225 guests and they all felt they were part of an intimate wedding! Veena, LeAnn and Marie were great to work with! We used a lot of what Casa Bella had on hand to create our centerpieces and they were just gorgeous! Casa Bella kept an open mind and listened to what we wanted and they made it happen! We are so happy we got married here and would recommend to anyon

the doors of the reception space at Casa Bella. I have lived in the bay area my whole life and have been through Sunol more times than I would ever be able to remember and never in my life would I believe someone would come in and add such a beautiful, warm, elegant wedding venue where an old bar used to be (at least I think it was a bar! LOL!) It is clear to anyone that walks in that the design team and staff have taken the greatest care in making sure Casa Bella would meet the highest of standards. The outdoor ceremony space is large enough, but still feel intimate and quaint. The reception space brings together urban textures with rustic elegance. It was the perfect setting for our wedding. To add to the allure, Casa Bella has the most beautiful bridal suite complete with kitchen space, lounge space, and a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. It made for the perfect place to get dressed and also for great pictures! For the men, we used Casa Bella's super fun blue trolley! It was such a great place for them to hang out and get dressed and have 'guy' time! The team as Casa Bella deserves just as much praise and recognition as the space itself. From our first phone call, to our walk through and everything in between leading up to our big day was perfect. The team always got back to us quickly and always answered all our questions. The also worked to ensure every detail of our day was perfect. The vendors we worked with that were provided by Casa Bella were top notch and we cannot say enough about the food! Every single person said the food was amazing. I cannot recommend Casa Bella for your wedding or special event more. You will not be disappointed if you book with them.

venue. It was the first venue we visited and felt confident about ending our search at that point -- which we did. Veena assisted with getting all of our details + decisions made, coordinated with our vendors, and was transparent about all costs involved. I loved her approach as she really catered to our needs and preferences, rather than as a sales-woman trying to sell everything they had to offer. I really appreciated her sitting down with me and going over everything we needed to get planned/done -- I was lost and overwhelmed not knowing what to tackle next. I remember the day we went to pay our deposit, Veena took the time to ask us about our story and the proposal. She really is perfect for this industry -- she loves what she does and it shows. Next, I worked with Leann for the menu tasting, scheduling the rehearsal and all of our contract needs. She was extremely patient as we sent the contract back and forth, revising our numbers and options -- so professional and easy going. She was also coordinating with all of our vendors on the day of our wedding. Everything was so smooth and went flawlessly. Marie also assisted on the day of, making sure I had enough water + food to get through the day, and working with our DJ to make sure transitions were made properly. This goes for the CB staff -- through the entire process, I felt no stress about the wedding planning or the ceremony, because of their support and attention to detail. Talking to any of them, you feel at ease and assured you're in good hands. I would highly recommend CB to any of my friends + family (and already have; so fun to attend a wedding where you got married yourself)! Thank you Veena, Leann and Marie for an exceptional experience. We are so, so grateful. Love, Chris + Kimberli

e to have an outdoor wedding. Originally that was our plan, but mother nature had a different plan. We had to move the wedding inside and you would have never guessed it was not meant to be. We were in front of the fire place and we did not have to do much decorating the place was already done with lights and signs. Veena was beyond amazing. Any time I had question, any time I needed anything she was there. The food was delicious and we the bar tenders were friendly and made such good drinks. So many pretty photos despite the rain. The bridal suite is a girls dream. If i could live in something like that I would.

do is add detailed touches to make it your own! Since the venue is beautifully furnished, it was one less item to worry about when it came to venue decorating. Can you imagine how much money we saved (and how many headaches were prevented) by not having to hire venue decorators to drape the walls, set up lighting, etc.? Veena, Leann, Claire and the rest of the team are so wonderful and accommodating. We felt like they were there with us the entire time. On our wedding day, they were amazing. We always knew where they were, they always stepped up to help us when we needed it, and they always took care us. Their customer service and commitment to the couple is above and beyond. We got rave reviews about the food – don’t sleep on the artichoke dip, the croutons in the Caesar salad and the grilled salmon. It’s absolutely delicious!

al meeting with Veena, we quickly realized it was everything we had been looking for. It is also in the adorable town of Sunol with plenty of great photo ops around the venue. Reflecting back at our wedding on 9/15/18, it exceeded all expectations (which were already high)! Everything at Casa Bella was stunning down to the last detail, and I loved that it required hardly any additional decor because of Veena's impeccable style with the venue, both outdoor in the ceremony area and the indoor reception. Our family and friends raved about Casa Bella, from the ambiance to the outstanding food. They even made us (bride and groom) each a dinner plate so we could relax and enjoy just taking everything in. We were also so appreciative of how easy the team was to work with -- Leann and Courtinie were flexible, attentive, and responsive to all of our questions and concerns throughout. Casa Bella is gorgeous, but working with Veena, Leann, and Courtinie is what made it the most incredible day that we will never forget - thank you to Casa Bella and their wonderful team!!!

gave us just what we were looking for without the hassle of decorating or furnishing. Leann and Veena made us feel welcome and at home since our very first tour of the venue and made the experience even better. They never pressured us, made sure things were planned according to our schedule and budget while genuinely showing interest and excitement for our wedding day. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about our venue, with its comfortable patio and spacious dance floor, it was truly a day to remember.

ecoration. Both Veena and Leann know what they're doing. They made sure that the wedding turned out the way we envisioned it. We haven't been to too many weddings so we were a bit nervous about the planning part but the staff made us feel at ease. Leann is very easy going and relaxed leading up to the wedding but she puts on the captain's hat by game time. On the wedding day, she wasn't phased by any last minute add-ons and various anomalies. She made sure that the wedding went smoothly. They have a list of approved vendors and we tried out Sakoon and Bombay gardens. Bombay Gardens catered some awesome food on the wedding day.

portunities), delicious food and amazing professional staff! We recall checking out the venue early 2017 with Veena. She gave us a tour and laid out the wedding details. The time we were checking out the venue was when there was only about 5 weddings. This was back when the back lounge area was empty and all we saw was the sight of the train tracks. Veena had mentioned to us all the plans she had for the venue. My husband and I thought the venue was still beautiful enough and we liked what she had in mind--we decided to book our date. After booking we made several visits back to the venue and what amazed us was that every time we came back to visit, more and more additions were added-- the back lounge was finally completed, the garden had more additions, the love wall and a bistro! My husband and I kept getting more and more excited for our wedding day. From the day we booked our date, Leann worked with us. Every time we had questions Leann had responded quickly and made us feel at ease with the wedding planning. We also enjoyed Casa Bella's Bridal Faire where we got to do our food tasting, check out more wedding vendors and heard a sample of the DJ's. From the bridal faire we found our Florist. About two weeks before our wedding we met with Leann to go over the wedding day details.. she laid out everything perfectly. On the day of our wedding everything turned out the way as planned! We absolutely loved everything about Casa Bella and we thank the staff at Casa Bella for helping us make our wedding day so memorable. My husband and I keep looking back at our photos and we always mention how lucky we are to have our wedding at Casa Bella!

Bella completely met these goals and exceeded our expectations. First of all, the venue itself is beautiful and doesn't really need outside decorations. I loved this aspect since it helped with my budget (since I didn't have to buy a bunch of decor items) and time (I didn't feel pressure to diy decor either). All of our guests raved about how beautiful everything was! Second, speaking of budget, I so appreciated how respectful Casa Bella staff was of our budget and how willing they were to work with us. I never felt like I was being pressured or up-sold. In general, staff at Casa Bella was amazing and so professional. A woman even stopped to help fluff out my train before my first-look pictures in the middle of setting up the tables! The coordinators for our wedding were Marie and Claire, and they were both absolutely wonderful and a delight to work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly enjoy what they do. They were both so helpful during the planning process and helped our day-of go beautifully smoothly- if there were any hiccups we had no idea. Finally, the food was delicious! We hosted a brunch wedding and I'm still hearing from guests a month later about how much they enjoyed the food. My husband and I were beyond happy with Casa Bella and so grateful to have found this beautiful little gem in Sunol.

ou didn't want to. Veena was wonderful to work with during the booking process. One of the things that sold me on this venue was that they include a lot of things that you would normally have to rent like gold chiavari chairs, floor length linen, colored napkins, up lighting, cake stands, special toasting glasses, and lots of other small decor. During the planning process, I worked closely with Leann and she was so nice! On the day of the wedding Leann, Marie & Courtney were there. They all made sure everything was setup the way that I planned. The timeline was executed perfectly and the food was amazing. We opted for buffet style to ensure everything was fresh and warm and it was! We seriously got so many compliments on how pretty the venue was and how much fun everyone had. I wish we could do it again every year!

ge area. Veena and Leann, the dynamic duo, work together so well. The planning and coordination was seamless. Veena was very accommodating with our rehearsal times and day of arrival time. She gave us her honest opinions during the planning process which were things that we didn't think of. Her skill and experience in this industry definitely shined through. The day of the wedding worked like clockwork and she was there to welcome us to the bridal suite. She helped us get settled in and checked back with us often to make sure that everything was ok. With the September heat, she saw me fanning myself with my napkin so she came by to tell me that she turned up the AC which definitely helped. I didn't hear of any problems so I assume everything was ok, but if there was a problem, she handled it so well as to not let us worry about anything. The food catering was yummy and had a really nice presentation. Everything about this place is great-the location (old town feel), the venue itself, the food, everything! If I could, i'd do it all over again at Casa Bella!

e staff was friendly and attentive, the set-up perfect and the execution on point. I'm so glad we found Casa Bella for our reception.

we needed and were very flexible with last minute changes. The venue itself is beautiful! We had requested lights in blue and gold to complement our theme, and they were stunning. All of our centerpieces were set up for us before we arrived. The food was great as were the servers. Couldn't be more pleased! This venue is in a beautiful, rural area, but it is still easy to get to from anywhere in the Bay Area. Highly recommended!
