Casa Romantica

Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens was an absolutely beautiful venue and ideal location for our daughter’s wedding. It truly exceeded our expectations.
The wedding on the patio terrace overlooking the ocean and the San Clemente pier provided the most picturesque backdrop that one could imagine. The courtyard for the seated dinner for 100 guests provided a magical atmosphere, while the main salon provided the perfect setting for dancing after dinner.
The venue offered exceptional views overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This, along with the buildings’ historical Spanish Architecture, combined to provide a great setting for the wedding photographer.
Michelle Bogdanoff, Venue Coordinator, was readily available and easy to work with whenever we called. She was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the venue.
Michelle, in coordination with Priscilla Granger (and her team), really knew how to provide a great venue with unsurpassed support. This ensured that the wedding party, and all of the guests had an excellent time!

Casa Romantica is sort of a cheesy name and the venue fee is a little pricey (considering it doesn't come with any rentals)... but my god it was so worth it. We had visited 20+ venues between San Diego and LA, and nothing really stood out...until I found Casa. The moment I stepped out onto the ocean terrace, I fell in love at first sight. It is truly a breathtaking venue and 3 months post-wedding, my guests haven't stopped talking about it. Other things I love about this venue: 1) There's the right amount of outdoor versus indoor....outdoor ceremony, outdoor but enclosed dinner reception, and indoor dancing - that is a true trifecta. 2) The size of this place is perfect for 100-150 person wedding. Big enough to explore and not feel crowded, but small enough to feel intimate. 3) The venue coordinator Michele is really responsive, friendly, professional, and totally reasonable in accommodating your requests. 4) Part of the venue fee counts as a donation to the Casa and you/your fiance can become members of the community for a year. 5) They have a small art exhibit that changes throughout the year and is open during your wedding: from classical style paintings to modern sculptures to colorful murals. 6) So many areas in this venue for amazing wedding photos.

Absolutely beautiful venue! We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have our wedding ceremony and reception at Casa Romantica. The ocean view impressed every guest. The Spanish style home made the wedding feel more intimate and romantic. I highly recommend this venue!
