Beautiful venue with great food and services

Overall, we were very happy with our 50 person traditional-inspired wedding at Castaway. We used their outdoor patio and trellis for the ceremony and cocktail hour, then the Verdugo room for the dinner and reception. The sales manager was fun, friendly, helpful, and really tried to make all our details work out well. She was communicative and we were very pleased with their level of service. The venue quality and services were excellent and on the wedding day, we were impressed by the food and staffing. Our guests really liked the temperature and quality of the food, and we received many compliments from guests. We had a little hiccup with valet on the day of the event, so make sure you get all of the details figured out on the day of with the operational team. However, this does not lessen my recommendation :)

Top Notch Service and Beautiful location!

My husband and I booked at Castaway for our vow renewal because of the location, views, and the affordable package. We had our reception at the Mountain View room. Christen communicated with us and made planning our vow renewal effortless from the food tasting to the details meeting to the actual day. On our special day, everything went as planned. Everyone raved about the welcome champagne, drinks, food, and the staff! The servers were attentive and professional. We even had a server dedicated to our sweetheart table. So considerate and even provided us drinks and extra bread! Thank you Christen and team for making our special day unforgettable! This place will now be our anniversary dinner dates!

Amazing organization and worry free

They took care of all the food and settings. We just needed to decorate a bit but the tables, chairs, napkins, etc all were customizable and you can choose the colors and styles. All the organizers, Maitre, bar, etc were amazing. The only thing I would change is the valet parking. They just changed the company and they can be very complicated even if you tell them that you’re leaving or picking up things. Overall it was an amazing experience and the setting is awesome!

Perfect Venue for Ceremony and Reception!

A huge thank you to Castaway (and our contact, Michelle) for the perfect wedding! We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors in the gardens, then our guests took shuttles up the hill to the Mountain View ballroom for the reception. The rehearsal went smoothly, the day-of was fantastic, and it was such a beautiful place to have a wedding! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was, too! Thank you Castaway - we look forward to celebrating many anniversaries with you!

The view took my breath away

I was concern to not finding a venue I really wanted for my wedding, a friend of mine came by talking to me about this "breath taking place" I didn't believed him until I saw it personally. When I arrived with my now husband I said this is it, I want to get married here and so far this is been an amazing experience, the theme and the location is just perfect.

Beautiful Venue

Beautiful Venue and we found most of our vendors at a wedding show there 9 months before our wedding.

The gazebo overlooking the mountains is beautiful and all the redone rooms are fantastic. Our wedding went better than we ever could have expected.

Perfect Wedding Reception

The entire catering and event planning staff were so responsive and helpful from start to finish. Our wedding reception was held here this past weekend 1-19-19, and all the Castaway staff, bartenders, servers, and banquet manager really made sure to work with our day of coordinator to make the night go so smoothly. Everyone was friendly to our guests and the food was delicious. The packages available for wedding receptions include so much and the event manager was very accommodating to any changes and substitutions we asked for. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone having any event (my company actually held a party the week before my wedding at Castaway, and that was stellar as well).
