We couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Everything was perfect! Michael Kossart was great to work with. He was extremely accommodating and couldn't have been nicer. The staff at Casa Del Mar was extraordinary as well. They provided us with great service and the price was really reasonable. We were extremely happy with the venue and service. Our guests were also very happy with the venue. We had several guests say it was the best wedding they've been to. Can't say enough good things about Casa Del Mar.

Casa Del Mar is the most beautiful and romantic venue I have ever seen! Everything was seamless & beautiful & so well orchestrated by everyone working on our wedding. I felt like the most important bride they ever hosted a wedding for! From the servers, to the managers, to captains they were all phenomenal, attentive & most importantly accessible.
The ceremony site is absolutely breathtaking! The wall of windows & the view of the ocean while you're exchanging vows is romantic, gorgeous & absolutely picturesque. It makes a beautiful backdrop for photographs. Then at night its just as beautiful with the lights and makes a great background for the reception. The food was impeccable & just plain phenomenal! Everything from taste to variety to presentation of the Hors d'oeuvres & 3 course meal was heavenly! Everyone could not stop talking about the food! We even had trays passed around at midnight of fries, mini burgers & milk shake shots and they were out of this world! The mini burger sliders are highly recommended! Even my vendors were excited for them! Toby Lent, the Director of Catering, was an absolute Godsend! He was meticulous, detail conscious & an absolute comfort to work with. His main concern was us and our happiness and that we got what we wanted at all times. He managed everything and solved all my problems so quickly that I didn't have time to panic. I am grateful I had him by my side during such a hectic and stressful time. He checked up on us constantly and was there whenever we needed anything. He never sends an assistant or another staff member to take care of anything - he's always there himself with a smile on his face and a big comforting hug to calm me down. He even fluffed my dress and fixed my veil and gave me a couple of comforting words before I walked down the aisle. That was an added touch that wasn't expected of him, but that is what Casa Del Mar provides - the unexpected beauty, romance & service at the most unexpected times. The prices may turn people away, but this is a special day and you get what you pay for so I advocate to pay more to get the special service and attention you deserve on your special day. They manage to make you feel like the most important & special bride to ever walk through their doors. I sincerely believe that every bride should be a Casa Bride!!

Michael Kossart was always very helpful and professional. He was very responsive , efficient, personable and able to deal with difficult type-A personalities. Everyone raved about the passed appetizers and the food. The venue is beautiful and the beach background provided a beautiful backdrop for fun and interesting photos.

Casa del Mar was a wonderful place to have my wedding!!! The coordinator was professional and responsive. If I had any questions prior to the wedding, he emailed be back the day of with a clear, concise answer. The entire day of my wedding ran so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!
The waiters were phenemonal. All our guests felt like it was such a treat. My day-of wedding venue coordinator was top-notch. For example, my dress strap ripped between the ceremony and reception, and the coordinator immediately got me a sewing kit, and my bridesmaids fixed me up in no-time. It was such a stress free day. And the venue staff was a huge part of creating a relaxed atmosphere. The venue's classy. The food was delicious. Great Five-star experience. ![]() Wedding: 1+ year ago 1 Reviews

We enjoyed working with Casa del Mar and would recommend any couple to consider having their wedding at this beautiful hotel.
We really feel like we got a lot of value for our money. You get an extremely professional (and experienced) staff, a beautiful ballroom, and just awesome views of the ocean, which blew our guests away while they were having cocktails on the terrace at sunset. Most importantly, we had absolutely no problems during the wedding. Everything was set up and run according to plan. No glitches. No headaches. For those couples who feel that it's a bit over their budget, I'd advise that sometimes it's worth spending that extra bit because you really do get what you pay for. The experience and professionalism of this hotel really shines through, especially with how smoothly they handled all my extra requests and last minute changes. My only caveat is that make sure you get everything in writing. I don't think it was anything malicious on Casa's part, but there was one incident where the hotel had forgotten that they had promised something and we had to end up showing them our contract to receive what was promised. Obviously it was a very minor thing because we were VERY happy with Casa del Mar overall. But just a word of caution to my fellow brides out there: get everything in writing from ALL your vendors! Regardless of how awesome and nice your vendors are, memories fade and details get blurry, especially when negotiations are long and drawn-out. Hope this helps!
