Suzzane P. Sent on 05/09/2024My Daughter’s 18th Bday
-Casa real exceeded all our expectations and even beyond! Im so glad that we chose Casa Real as the venue for our daughter’s 18th birthday last February 19, 2024. Their staff were very professional, kind and helpful from our initial inquiry, first meeting with Jenny, booking the venue, payments, food tasting, planning, and the day of the event. Kara was so amazing. She was the contact person after we have booked the venue from initial to final payments, schedule of food tasting and all our other inquiries. She never got tired of answering all our questions and making things happen for us. We could not asked for a better coordinator than Carly. She was simply the BEST! From planning up to the day of the event she worked so hard to make that day the best birthday ever for our daughter. She coordinated not only with us but also with our different vendors. On the day of the event, she made sure they got all the details from centerpiece, table set up, seating plan, bows on each chair, display of our daughter’s awards and artworks that we have provided were all in its perfect place. She even provided snacks and drinks at the suite where me and my daughter had our make up done and changed. Our 200 plus guests were so amazed by how beautiful and big the venue was and the set-up. It would have been much nicer if it was not raining and probably during summer time when all the vines have all grown back again. They were also impressed with the food from the appetizers, salad to main entree as well as the service. The salad was so good, the herb crusted cod and NY steak was cooked perfectly and delicious. The open bar was superb. Our guests were raving about how efficient and good were all the bartenders. Their system of noting the guests seating arrangement, food choices and guests’ allergies were efficient and organized. Another thing I love about them was that they allowed us to have my daughter’s favorite cake and desserts as well as Boba drinks from our own vendors. They also allowed us to provide our own bowls of instant ramen, spoons and chopsticks, as our after-party snacks which was another favorite of my daughter. My only regret was not extending the party time. Our guests were having so much fun they wish there was more time to dance and enjoy the after party snacks. -

I have been fortunate to make my living as a professional photographer for over 3 decades, worked at countless venues all over the nation. Now base in Livermore CA, I feel extreme fortunate to be able to work at Casa Real. Casa Real hands down is one of the best wedding/event venues. The staff is top notch, truly focused on their clients and making the wedding/event run seamlessly! As a wedding/event photographer managing time, details, individuals, while still being creative is the goal at every wedding and event. This can be a challenge at times. One of the things that allows me to do my job more efficiently is have a supporting staff around me. The staff at Casa Real definitely fits this description! I know that when I have a wedding/event at Casa Real I am going to be working with the best! If you are considering wedding/event venues put Casa Real on top of your list. Beautiful venue, amazing food, and a staff that knows the meaning of great customer service!

The Casa Real staff, Kara, and Alyssa are all amazing! All the guests were raving about how great the service was. From the beginning to end, the experience was wonderful and they answered all our emails so quickly. On the day of, the staff made sure my husband and I had water and left a platter of food in the bridal suite for us. Without our coordinator, Alyssa, I don’t know what we would have done. Everything ran so smoothly and even better than expected. I can’t wait to come back again and attend a wedding here as a guest! -

Autumn Wedding at Casa Real magical!
11/10/22 Autumn wedding at CASA REAL was spectacular! The vineyards were highlighted with brilliant colors, which enhanced our photos! More importantly, the VENUE was top notice, starting with @karaandrews and @alyssastewart, who were willing to listen to and make specific requests happen! the transition from the Amber room to the ballroom was seamless never saw any movement from the staff. It just happened behind the scenes. Now, regarding the MENU, the CHEFS and the staff hit it out of the park! Our guests, a week later, are still calling to tell us how great each food choice was. From the appetizers to the display tables, main entree, late-night snacks, and our Donut Flambee bar!
HIGHLY recommend Casa Real @beetscatering for your next event, no matter the occasion. Mother of the bride, Lois -

Casa Real made all of our wedding dreams come true! It is a challenge to write a review that is not pages long, because there are so many amazing things to say about the Casa Real office team, event planning team, day-of staff, venue, food…. From the first day we toured the property, my parents and husband and I were sold on this venue. It was apparent right away that the team is full of experts who know about every detail that goes in to a wedding, and if you don’t have the answer they are ready to guide you with options and recommendations. We felt like we were in such great hands with Kara and Antonella during the planning phase, and I cannot give high enough praise for Kelsea. Kelsea was our day-of coordinator, and all of my wedding party and family agreed she was a STAR throughout the day. She was so sweet and fun with our wedding party during the rehearsal, and everyone felt so comfortable with her on the day of the wedding. She was so good at checking in with us and our parents throughout the night. We did not hire a wedding planner, but we always felt like we had one with Casa running point. The day of our wedding ran so smoothly and we even were ahead of schedule at some points. Our day felt fun and exciting and EASY, and I attribute all of that to Casa’s expert team handling everything in the background.
Casa’s preferred vendor list is top-notch and well curated so that they can recommend the best vendors in the area who are also all well-acquainted with each other. Every vendor we worked with was so complimentary of Casa Real and the work they do, and we couldn’t agree more. In addition to the impeccably appointed property (the foyer, sun garden, amber room, and grand salon are stunning even without wedding decor), one other standout from our wedding is easily the FOOD. From the snacks in the bridal suite, to the cocktail hour appetizers, to the generous and delicious entrees, to our late night donuts and french fries, to the well-stocked (and beautiful) bar, I was so proud that all of our wedding food was DELICIOUS. (One note in particular: we had multiple guests tell us this was by far the best vegetarian meal they had ever had at any wedding!) Everything about Casa Real deserves five stars - I am so thankful to their whole team! -

I have so many good things to say about Casa Real, I don’t know where to start! When my husband and I were touring venues, Casa Real immediately stood out to us because of how beautiful it was - it’s a lovely villa nestled in a field of vineyards - but also because of the professionalism and knowledge of the staff. After booking them, so many of our other vendors expressed how much they liked working with Casa Real - “They are such a well-oiled machined”, “They are so on top of things that if anything went wrong, you would never know”, “You can’t do better than Casa Real for a wedding venue in this area” are so of the comments we heard, and we couldn’t agree more. Tammy, our dedicated Casa Real wedding coordinator, did an excellent job in walking us through the planning process during our meetings. She is dedicated, hard-working, and so pleasant to work with. She, Kara, and the rest of the Casa Real staff were so kind, friendly, and very available by phone and email to answer our questions. We also loved the option of having the ceremony in either the Amber Room or the Sun Garden - this is REALLY important for this area. Especially with summer weddings, you never know if there will be California fires or 100+ F weather, so it’s so beneficial to have the option of switching indoors. We actually ended up switching the ceremony location a few days before because of inclement weather. The day of our wedding was a dream come true - everything ran so seamlessly, smoothly, and on time due to Casa Real’s expertise and careful planning. I HIGHLY recommend them if you’re looking for a wedding venue. -

Polina M. Sent on 09/10/2022Best Wedding Venue!
We could not have chosen a better wedding venue! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, we received so many compliments on the delicious food and premium drinks, and the staff was extremely helpful and made wedding planning much easier with trackers, suggested timelines, etc. Our wedding coordinator Jasmyn was so organized during our planning meetings (and on the Wedding day), made us feel at ease, and prioritized our vision for the day! We also worked closely with Kara during the planning process who was very supportive and always prompt to respond to any questions we had.
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Casa Real in August and the day could not have been more perfect. We highly recommend Casa Real as a wedding venue!!

The BEST I could have asked for!
Casa Real really went above and beyond my expectations when it came to wedding venues. The venue is not just beautiful, but the staff and all the wonderful people I worked with were so kind, responsive, and made sure that everything, down to the last detail, was perfect.
From the day I first contacted the venue, the staff were so kind to answer all of my questions and concerns. They even accommodated our schedule to have a tour during the weekday, though it wasn’t their usual time. Emailing back and forth and making decisions about the wedding was so seamless that it was kind of scary not to be worrying about everything.
Leading up to the wedding, I was assigned Antonella as my day-of coordinator and I couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job. She was quick to respond to emails and make any adjustments when last minute changes occurred. I especially thank her for the day of the wedding because I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. The reception at Casa Real and thanks to Antonella and all of the staff, the reception went so smoothly that, again, it was scary. She made sure me and the groom were comfortable and handled all the little details. What an amazing person to work with!
As for the catering, everything was top notch. I have friends who came from SoCal (the land of boba drinks) and they were even impressed by the boba bar that we added to the wedding from Casa Real. All the guests were fawning over the appetizers and were even asking for more even after it all ran out. The reception food was amazing, especially the pork shoulder. The dessert was even more amazing! I still dream about the creme brulee shortbread and mini blueberry cheesecakes.
Overall, you can’t get anything better than Casa Real in my opinion. If I could redo my wedding all over again, I would still go with Casa Real because that’s how good my experience was from the very beginning up until the wedding day. -

The BEST venue & team, THANK YOU!!!
If you are looking for a venue for your dream wedding then you should definitely check out Casa Real! They made sure everything ran smoothly and was always there for us to answer and help us with the million questions we had.
They made sure the wedding had everything we wanted from tons of delious food to a last minute tea cermony and even snowballs! The venue was breathtakingly beutiful on its own, which helped us with saving on decorations.
The team was very helpful throughout the planning stages and the event itself to make sure everything ran smoothly and on time and they even made sure we got a chance to try all the food! They made sure we were well fed throughout from a champagne cart to platters of each item during our cocktail hour. We even had a full spread of apps and each of our specialty drinks ready for us at our sweetheart table!
They even have an in house bakery that made our delious cakes. We wanted to make sure everyone had a slice of cake at our wedding and the bakery was able to help us make custom centerpiece cakes for each table and also provided us with a wonderful spread for our dessert bar!
It was a magical day that we will never forget and it was all thanks to the great team at casa real. Special thanks to Genevieve, Kara and team for helping make sure everything ran smoothly from the beginning to end, THANK YOU for helping us with our dream wedding!!! -

I just had my wedding at at Casa Real and it was a magical experience! Genevieve was our wedding coordinator and was a delight to work with. We had lots of plans and items that needed to happen and come out at the right times during the evening. Genevieve and her staff made out lots of attention to detail and made sure the event is as organized as it possibly can be. I was very impressed with the level of service that we received and I still hear compliments from our guests till this day! The food and beverages were great as well. Overall, it was a fabulous time at Casa Real. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants an incredible experience for their special day!!! -

We could not have asked for a better wedding day. I already knew I wanted to get married at Casa Real since my husband and I went to prom together here, but I was completely blown out of the water the entire night. The staff and venue were incredibly kind, organized, and my guests could not stop raving about how much fun they had, how good the food was, and how smoothly the night went. Going through their preferred vendors, having the rentals, food, and open bar already done on site made wedding planning a breeze. My only regret was that we didn’t add on more time to the night. We got a day of coordinator, Carly who was the BEST. My dress and one of the bridesmaids dresses entirely broke before the ceremony and reception and she kept us all calm, and fixed both problems. She handled all the fires that arose and I don’t think I would’ve been able to relax that day as much as I did without her!! My husband and I also had our own personal servers and we did not have a single empty drink the entire night. -

Constance Y. Sent on 12/27/2019Absolutely EXCELLENT venue
I could not have asked for a more professional, organized, excellent venue for my wedding this past October. We were doing a multicultural wedding and were really only looking at Palm Events Center and Casa Real as our options for our ~250 guests. We booked almost 15 months in advance and got one of the last peak season wedding dates in late October.
I could go on and on about how great Casa Real is but I'll keep it to a few simple points:
TEAM: Kara, Marlena, and Nicole are top of line event planners, people managers, and venue coordinators. They are highly responsive, even with the most minute of details. They are always willing to help out and offer information and guidance where asked for. I did not hire a wedding planner and relied on Casa Real and a day of coordinator (Marlena) to plan and execute the wedding. It was a lot of work but would not have been possible without the expert help of the venue and its team. They didn't miss a beat in terms of communicating with us and among each other. We used a lot of the vendors recommended by Casa Real and the familiarity they had with working together really made the planning process smooth. I've had at least one vendor tell me that they wouldn't have worked with me without a wedding planner if not for the great reputation of Casa Real.
VENUE: We had a long and complex day and were doing two ceremonies and given Casa Real's large space were able to do one ceremony in the gorgeous Sun Garden and the second ceremony in the Amber room. The flow of the space and crowd management led by Marlena was absolutely expert. Our guests were seamlessly led from one room/ part of the wedding to the other without much difficulty or issue. This made for the SMOOTHEST guest experience.
MULTICULTURAL: Casa Real gave flexibility to me to bring in my own caterer since I wanted Indo-Chinese catering. They also had a stage I could use for the mandap. They also had a perfectly nice route among the vineyards in the front of the venue for my husband's baraat (where he rides in on a horse). Their snack and food choices included cool things like boba tea and mexican churros with hot chocolate.
SERVICE: I mean they set up everything. When the rentals came in, Casa Real's team was on it setting up tables and linens and plates and gifts in accordance with how I laid it out. It was perfect.
CONNECTION: Casa Real's team really does their best to help you execute a perfect wedding and for that I am so grateful. They really do have their couples (especially their brides) top of mind all the time. And they don't make you feel crazy even if you might be crazy.
I love this venue and its team! Thank you for helping me plan an amazing wedding! -

Casa Real is a true gem of a place! We got married there 3 months ago and find excuses to go back to see the space and the people!
Every single teammate on the Casa Real team was hard-working, genuine and responsive. The culture is extremely client-centered, which was welcomed when there are so many people/vendors to work with. They really made it easy for us to have an authentically us wedding. Our wedding coordinator and Alli worked extremely well together in getting everything done leading to and during the wedding.
The venue is gorgeous, well maintained both inside and outside. There are four different spaces for different ‘feels’ for your respective event, and we happily used three and it was perfect. We got the perfect fall photos we were hoping for!
We are extremely fortunate to have gotten married at Casa Real! -
