Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club Reviews

Sarah and Chantal are simply the best! They made our daughter's wedding incredible. They were great to work with! The food, the venue, the people, and everything about the event was impeccable! The night was simply amazing and all the details that we worked on for so many months came together and Sarah and Chantal (with Leslye Hansen and Mary Rasmussen) transformed the Pavilion into a magical, stunning place. We couldn't have asked for anything better! How lucky to have our daughter get married at the club that we have been a member of for 23 years - in our own back yard! Thank you Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club!

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

Gina at Coto De Caza Golf Club went out of her way to make sure my wedding day went perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with who was patient and extremely understanding. She was calm (even when I wasn't) and ensured me she would do her absolute best to get everything I asked for within our budget. The food was amazing and I'm very picky about my dishes. The chef accomodated our request for no alcohol in the dishes (due to religious reasons for our guests) and he made it absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend using Coto as a venue for any occasion! Extremely professional and passionate about what they do! They gave me that ease of mind that no one else could, so thank you!

Such a beautiful venue for a great price. My best friend got married here and everything was excellent!

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.

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!

Our wedding day was perfect, everyone at Coto was responsive, attentive and made our day run absolutely flawlessly. I would recommend Coto as a wedding venue to anyone. I wish we could get married there every weekend!!

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!

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!

This wedding could not have been possible without Alyssa + Coto Team. I appreciate her quick responses, her attention to detail, and the compassionate spirit she brings with her to work! My family and I left the wedding expressing how amazed they were with the help we received from the venue. I am so happy we switched venues when we did! I would choose Coto over and over again. Thank you, Alyssa and Coto team for making our dream wedding come true.

I cannot thank Sarah for taking care of us! She did such an amazing job! We were extremely happy with how everything turned out! Our guest have not stopped raving about how beautiful the venue is! And the food was delicious!! Alyssa was so great as well!! When Sarah was not available Alyssa would step up and make sure every question I had would be answered! Again thank you Sarah and staff for being so great!! You guys are the BEST!

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!

The Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen. I am beyond happy that we chose this venue for our wedding in February 2018! Both Sarah and Alyssa went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and not once were either one ever bothered by my hundreds of questions that I asked them! The quality of service is immeasurable to any other venue, the staff is beyond amazing, the preferred vendors are some of the best in the business, and honestly the price just could not be beat. We have both our rehearsal dinner & our wedding at Coto, and I have to say that 10 months later, our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was and how amazing the food was. It was literally the best experience I could have ever asked for, and if I could do my wedding all over again, I would ALWAYS pick Coto as our venue. You will not be disappointed in this beautiful location! I would give everything about this venue 100 stars if I could. :)

Sarah Placeres! OMG. Answered questions on the weekends, while she was on vacation, literally anytime I needed her, she was there. Truly this venue is spectacular, but Sarah, the Events Director, was so amazing. She talked down my nerves before walking out of the bridal suite. Sarah grabbed me a drink during the speeches when we were getting roasted by friends and family. She timed the food/cake everything perfectly and made a great impression on my family and bridal party - everyone was comfortable with Sarah. She allowed me to bring additional guests to my tasting and made special accommodations for them. Sarah is the best. Other venues we looked at - no one seemed passionate to help or respond to inquiries. Sarah was always on top of it and every response was genuine and thought out.

This venue is gorgeous. The outside reception space overlooking the golf green below is stunning. All members of the club were so incredibly nice and friendly. We got married in November (outside) and it was a "cool" 73 degrees out. As the sun went down, it was chilly, but we moved into the pavillion and heaters were readily available. People talk about the noise constraints outside - honestly, I didn't notice if the music was turned down or anything. We were partying on the dance floor until 10PM and then moved up to the after hours space. We rented it out until 12PM and honestly, the bartenders kept serving everyone until we left at 1AM! Not a complaint, no one asked us to end it on time, all service and staff were genuinely happy to see my husband and I having the best time of our lives. If I could do it all over again - Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club would still be my number 1 choice!

I only have wonderful things to say about Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club. Let me start off by saying that the bride and groom do eat full meals at Coto! We went to three weddings this year and the bride and groom did not eat until the very end. We ate appetizers at 5:30 pm, which were brought to us, dinner promptly at 6:00 pm, and again at our after party.

Planning with the Coto team was very easy and fun! Sarah P. took over our wedding one month prior and knew every detail regarding our wedding - believe me, that's amazing! All around, the service staff was top-notch. I've had many compliments from guests that wanted us to know how well there were treated. From valet, bartenders, and waiter staff, each of our guests were pleased. The biggest compliment I can give the venue has to go to the chef and kitchen. We had a number of our guests tell us that their beef filets were cooked perfectly and that it may have been the best steak that they had ever had. We did not expect to hear that from our guests, yet from every table!

I had no idea how great we had it until the very end. We truly feel that we had made the best venue decision. We are so happy we selected Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club for our wedding.

I wish I could give more stars. This was an absolute dream of a venue to have my daughters wedding. The location, the accommodations, the service, the food and Sarah, Coto's Private Event Director. She gave us priceless advise and lead us through the perfect day and night. I am a control freak, but Sarah took the reins from me so I could relax and enjoy the day. We are still hearing comments from friends and family about the beauty of the location, the professionalism of the staff, and the flawless way the ceremony and reception flowed. A picture perfect event!!

This website truly does not have enough room for me to write all of the amazing things I could say about the venue! We had toured several venues and the experience we had touring Coto was like none of the others. It was so personal, professional, detailed, inviting, and zero-pressure. We barely drove into our driveway before making the decision to book the date for about a year later! Everything from that point on was perfect. We worked with Sarah Placeras who was absolutely my favorite part of planning a wedding. She had the answers to everything and was so amazing with the planning process. Although the planning process was flawless and as smooth as could be, we still were shocked and impressed with the day of. Sarah and her team had thought about every. single. detail. They were there with smiles for every single guest and treating us like royalty. It really was a magical day and we so owe much of that to their wonderful staff. People pay big bucks to have outside coordinators, but Sarah and her staff are a part of the package, and we were blown out of the water by all them. I would highly recommend anyone in the area looking for a venue to check them out!

My husband and I got married at Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club on June 10, 2017 and we couldn't be happier with the venue we chose. The entire day was seriously a dream come true and our guests are raving about it! Sarah and her team were amazing throughout the whole planning process and made it so easy for me- they responded quickly, were extremely professional and helped make the planning process less stressful. We are so thankful for everything they did. The food at was amazing too! Our guests were thrilled and so were we, especially when we got seated and had appetizers from cocktail hour waiting for us! The service and the gorgeous view were an absolutely perfect place for our wedding and we highly recommend it!!

We could not have been more happy with our selection of Coto de Caza as our wedding venue. They are true professionals in every way. The venue was beautiful, clean and perfect for hosting both a ceremony and reception. The staff lead by Sarah Placeres was awesome and their attention to detail was amazing. I would highly recommend Coto for a wedding, and I would give serious thought to several of their preferred vendors as well. The people we worked with were just fabulous and made our event something we will never forget. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Coto, it was simply amazing.

Coto went above and beyond in making my special day absolutely perfect and stress free! Chantal was always so attentive and continually decreased the stress level every step of the way in the wedding planning process. Everyone was so professional and helpful!

January Coto had an open house for weddings and my now husband and I wanted to see it. The drive alone into Coto makes it worth every penny because of its beauty. Our coordinator Chantal and Sarah exceeded our expectations of going above and beyond for any service. They kept in contact with me the entire duration of the wedding planning and the outcome was perfection. Although it rained the day of our wedding they had a back up plan prepared days before and made our day so memorable. All our guest raved about the venue and food. I was 100% satisfied with the professionalism of their staff and service during cocktail hour and reception. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our wedding because we had such an amazing coordinator. Anyone who marries at Coto will not be disappointed.

My husband and I never thought we would want to get married at a golf club. Then we saw Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club. We instantly fell in love with it. The coordinators for the site, Chantal and Sarah, were SO informative. They didn't try to sell us or upsell anything, but instead helped us to truly visualize the site as our venue for our special day. Through the entire process they were both so patient, so quick to respond to any concerns or questions I had, and day of they were angels. Truly, they made our dream wedding happen. Also, the night of the wedding the entire staff at the venue were phenomenal. So patient, so wonderful. I cannot say enough amazing things about them!! Every single one of our guests has commented after the fact that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've been to. Oh, and did I mention it poured rain on our wedding day? But the girls made it seem like it never even happened, and pulled it off so we could still have our dream day as planned. Love, love love!

We had our wedding in late October, this venue is BEAUTIFUL!! Not only do you have the gorgeous scenery as your back drop but the job that they do setting up each space is amazing! They also have the most attentive staff i have ever seen. My Wife and I had our food as soon as we sat down and were able to pop around to each table because of it, and we had 250 guest attend!! They did an outstanding job in every way shape and form. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married to check out Coto!!

Chantal and Sarah are the best wedding coordinators ever! They were wonderful and took care of everything. We couldn't be happier. Venue was lovely, food was delicious and our guests are still raving.

We set up an appointment with Sarah to review the venue for our wedding next May. We ended up loving it and booking our date. She was so helpful and has since been very responsive to our questions. I can't wait to start working with her more and to have our wedding here!
