I went to summer camp here as a kid...

Choosing the club for our wedding was honestly the best decision we made. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning—the beautiful surroundings, elegant architecture, and picturesque views created the most magical setting for our day. Whether it was the gorgeous ceremony space or the stylish reception area, every detail was thoughtfully designed and made our wedding feel like a dream come true.

What truly impressed us was how incredibly organized and seamless the entire process was. From our first visit to the venue to the final moments of our celebration, the team at CDC made everything so easy. They were professional, attentive, and handled all the logistics with such precision. We didn’t have to worry about a thing—they took care of every detail, making sure everything ran smoothly and on time. The heat wave was unexpected, but no fear, Liz had a plan.

The day-of coordination was flawless. The staff was there every step of the way, keeping everything on track and making sure we had everything we needed. We could relax and enjoy every moment, knowing that the team had it all covered, while still being so welcoming and attentive to our guests. As the bride, I was anxious enough I could barely eat. Yet I had a personal server following me around with my favorite apps... "You're my priority, you're the bride."

If you're looking for a venue that offers breathtaking beauty, impeccable organization, and a team that goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, the club is the place to be. It was truly everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we couldn't have asked for a better location to celebrate our wedding!

Liz, thank you for giving us the best day of our lives.

Unbelievably Rude Experience with Staff

My husband and I got married here a year ago in April. Jennifer, the events director was great the entire time. However the day of our wedding there were was an issue due to rude staff that was simply unacceptable. There was a moment when we were taking pictures on the stairs of the venue as a wedding party directly after the ceremony. A VERY rude and who we perceive to be racist staff told us rudely that “this is the last picture because these two members need to walk up”. My maid of honor politely asked if they could take the elevator instead. The staff member responds that “there are people on the elevator”. My maid of honor said “well there are people here…”. The staff member rudely went back-and-forth with my maid of honor for a bit until walking away. Nearly moments after saying I do I was SO distraught to have an experience like this. It broke my heart.
I also want to mention that my husband and I were served our dinners after other tables. Once people were already eating Jennifer had to hurry and flag down one of the waiters to bring our plates once she noticed. That was a pretty big oversight for the wait staff to forget to feed the bride and groom at their own wedding.
I hate that I had to experience discrimination on my wedding day by the venue we paid so much money to. I would not recommend this location to anyone for this reason alone.

A1, amazing, incredible, outstanding, the absolute best!

Coto de Caza is without question, the absolute best venue to have your wedding at...my wife and I just got married there this past weekend and we're BEYOND happy with how everything turned out...to begin, the venue is breathtakingly beautiful!! the backdrop is all mountains and million dollar homes, there are several spots to take wedding photos at, including a bridge with 2 streams and a waterfall- YES, a waterfall...second, the staff there is extremely friendly, everyone there was very nice and helpful, from the valet to the restaurant staff, the event directors to the event staff, the bartenders, EVERYONE was incredible!! Elizabeth (Liz), the private events director, is PHENOMENAL!! From the initial conversation all the way up to our wedding day, she was great!! her vibe and personality is warm and inviting, the walk through with her was very informative, her communication was on point, every question was answered and every concern was addressed; we have a baby girl that has a lot of food allergies which means she has a ton of dietary restrictions, Liz didn't shy away from our requests regarding her meal for the reception, instead she offered alternatives for our baby girl before we settled on certain foods for her to eat, Liz was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, we're so appreciative of her...leading up to our wedding, Liz was on top of every detail, nothing was overlooked; every email was responded to quickly which resulted in helping to create the most perfect wedding my wife and I could've ever hoped for...we love Liz and the whole staff at Coto, from top to bottom, front to back and everywhere in between, everything was PERFECT...our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff was, it was a truly awesome experience for everyone that was present that day- especially my wife and I...we honestly couldn't be happier with Liz, we love her!! dealing with her and the staff was easy and nothing short of amazing...do yourself a favor and go with Coto, I promise you won't be disappointed
