Gorgeous Venue!

It’s been almost a year since our beautiful wedding at Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club!  Thank you to the entire Coto team for helping us transform the Pavilion into the garden party of our dreams!  Every detail was perfect: the food, cocktails, table settings, and most of all, the gorgeous backdrop.

We had the pleasure of working with the best of the best: Liz, Javad, and Alfonso, to name a few.  Liz was remarkable, and patiently worked through all of our questions and concerns.  We really appreciated her communication, professionalism, and humor.  This day would not have been possible without her!

Amazing Wedding

The wedding was amazing, truly a joyful event, and we are so grateful to so many of the staff at Coto who were so wonderful to work with. First of all, Liz Prochnow was our event planner that we worked with. Liz was fantastic to work with, she was responsive, warm and friendly and always willing to provide recommendations, talk things through with us and offered us so much help and guidance. She made wedding planning so easy! I'm so grateful for Liz, so fantastic to work with and she really did take all the stress out of the process.
The staff who did set up for the wedding were fantastic - - they had it set up early and perfectly. The catering staff was amazing - - not often that people think the food at a wedding is amazing, but in this case it was and we had many guests raving about how delicious the food was.
Bartending service was terrific - very efficient and so friendly and fun. The pavilion was a beautiful venue, very special and the outdoor circle for cocktails was wonderful!

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

Excellent, Professional, an ABSOLUTE dream!

Everything was beautiful. They made the planning process so straightforward and easy, they were perfectly accommodating, and everything turned out great! Every guest that we spoke to said that the venue was amazing and the food was absolutely incredible (the best dinner they've had - not just the best wedding food, but THE BEST dinner) and the bartender was so nice and personable, he remembered mine and my husbands drink order from the rehearsal dinner and brought us the drinks once we were sitting at the sweetheart table. And the event coordinator, Alyssa, was the sweetest person ever to work with, even when we had 12 guests canceling/RSVPing last minute and we were switching and moving around the seating chart like a week before the wedding - Alyssa was unphased and ready for the challenge. I highly recommend using this team of individuals when planning your wedding.

Perfect Wedding!

Coto Golf and Racquet Club is a beautiful venue for a wedding. After looking at dozens of other venues this one stood out by far among the rest. Not only is the venue amazing but the staff is incredible. The level of service provided is unparalleled. Alyssa and her team went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. They exceeded all of our expectations a hundred times over. The food was five star, the scenery was five star, and the staff was five star. The bartenders were beyond friendly and very outgoing with all of our guests. I can’t thank Alyssa enough for all of her input and amazing ideas. Thank you to all of the staff at Coto who made our wedding perfect!

Pretty Grounds and a Great Staff

I loved having my wedding at the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club! It's a gorgeous venue with an amazing staff! The site coordinator, Sarah, is so organized and on top of everything that you never need to worry about a thing! The banquet manager was also amazing! He checked in with me multiple times throughout the reception to ensure that I was having a great time and didn't need anything! I HIGHLY recommend this venue!

Perfect wedding!

Daughter & SIL's wedding was literally PERFECT thanks to Sarah, Alyssa, and all the staff. From the first meeting 18+ months before to the time we left the venue after the most perfect wedding we could have imagined, we had the best possible experience. Daughter did a thorough cost comparison, and the Golf & Racquet Club was competitive with the nine other venues we visited. Our guests raved about how gorgeous it was. Sarah & Alyssa answered every email within minutes, and followed through on everything they promised. Thanks to them, we had a stress-free experience. The only thing we're sorry about is that it's over!

Hidden Gem in the OC

This is truly a hidden gem of Orange County! Such a beautiful location showcasing the hills and open space of Orange County. One great feature of the venue is that it is a package deal and makes it a lot easier when planning. Alyssa and Sarah were great to work with. They were very accommodating and always available leading up to the wedding day ensuring we got everything we wanted. For the day of the wedding, the banquet captain Derek was especially amazing! He made sure throughout the entire night that we were attended to and had enough to eat and drink! Our guests LOVED the venue: the view, delicious food, and the reception area which is great for a wedding anytime of the year! We are so happy that we chose Coto de Caza as our wedding venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
