This venue made my summer wedding an absolute dream. The staff are incredibly thorough and supportive and they made me feel taken care of and beyond special on the day of the wedding. They helped to get all of the little details taken care of seamlessly. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a large space with beautiful views and high-end customer service. Our wedding coordinator, August, was also a huge contributor to making the day so incredible for us because of her calm, warm energy and professional demeanor. Reviewed on 11-10-2023

Taylor Rhoads(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2022 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, foodâŠ. 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 donât 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 Casaâs expert team handling everything in the background.Casaâs 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 couldnât 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! Reviewed on 18-12-2022
Lois Colburn(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-11-2022 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.

Darlene Nguyen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2022 Choosing a wedding venue can be such an overwhelming process; however, after our initial Zoom meeting with Marlene, we were very impressed with the venue and amenities. Once we came on site for an in-person tour, the venue exceeded our expectations and we selected Casa Real as our wedding venue without hesitation! We chose are venue in April 2021 and got married in September 2022. Though the venue is breathtaking in itself, the support and level of organization and detail from the staff is exemplary! Our wedding date was nearly a year and a half away, and Kara was extremely responsive, patient, and always kind in answering any questions that we had. We met with our assigned coordinator, Alyssa, three months prior to our wedding date, and feel that she played such a pivotal role in the ease that we felt leading up to and on our wedding day. She was very attentive to our vision and made sure to honor and highlight various aspects of our wedding that we asked for. Alyssa ran our rehearsal efficiently. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I were able to just relax and stay present, as Alyssa took care of all of the details and frequently checked in with us to make sure we were eating enough and were hydrated; she pivoted when necessary to make sure we had enough time to eat, which we were so grateful for. Some of our vendors also commented on how impressed they were with the quality of Alyssa's work as our coordinator. The venue staff were amazing and were so kind to us and our guests. Our guests raved about the appetizers and dinner; many mentioned that this was the best wedding food they've had! We cannot thank the Casa Real staff enough for making our wedding day so magical!

Chelsea Clarke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2022 I have so many good things to say about Casa Real, I donât 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 - itâs 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 - âThey are such a well-oiled machinedâ, âThey are so on top of things that if anything went wrong, you would never knowâ, âYou canât do better than Casa Real for a wedding venue in this areaâ are so of the comments we heard, and we couldnât 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 itâs 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 Realâs expertise and careful planning. I HIGHLY recommend them if youâre looking for a wedding venue. Reviewed on 09-10-2022

Albert Kim(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2022 Is it possible to pull off a really memorable wedding reception with everything you want with 3 months notice? I can proudly say with Casa Real it is. There are no weaknesses in the armor of this comprehensive venue and the strengths are in its tight coordination of excellent staff. They are able to pull off very specific preferences as well as autopilot you to a coherent experience. Because of our tight deadline we were constantly on the ropes but Antonella and Kara made sure we were on time and everything fit together. The day of reception Antonella was our captain and expertly sailed us through the evening seamlessly and over bumps in our packed schedule smoothly. The stealth army-like staff was amazing and we felt like VIPs. My pickiest foodie friends were very happy and my booziest friends were too happy. We picked the boba bar as an add on and I think my boba fans had 5 each. And lastly itâs hard to forget that the grounds are impeccable and beautiful and feel like you are at a wine country resort. We feel incredibly lucky that we were able to find Casa Real at all but doubly so on short notice. Lastly I can see why these preferred vendors are preferred. Nicole Ha (florist), Bev Tanaka (cake design), DJ Rick/Amos Productions (DJ and photobooth), Courtyard Livermore (hotel and shuttle), and Phoenix Wang (photographer, not preferred yet but should be) were heroes assembling to make everything just work without a fuss. I am so grateful to these super wedding professionals and their seamless coordination with Casa Real needing only the absolute minimum essential input from us. They are collectively what made a 3 month prep wedding possible and I did not feel the need for an additional wedding planner. If I was sent back in time Iâd definitely do it with Casa Real again.

The staff at Casa were extremely accommodating and understanding throughout the entire process. All members of the Casa team we encountered were extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. We had not hired a wedding planner and planned everything ourselves. In fact, when I had reached out to several wedding planners, a couple had suggested we actually don't use their services since Casa has it under control! The Casa team made this process seamless for us. We worked with Antonella as our day of coordinator and she was super sweet, eager to help, and closely assisted in keeping the entire day on track.Overall, you cannot go wrong with Casa.

Everything including preparation, the three-course meal, the open bar, the venue layout, the event execution, etc. seemed to go exactly as planned with very little effort the day of the wedding. I can go on about every little detail for Casa Real, but ultimately I think it comes down to one of Genevieve's last statements to us before the big day. She told us that our only job the day of the wedding was to relax and enjoy the celebration.

R V(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2019 Casa Real was the perfect venue for our ~300 person Indian wedding this past May - and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience there.To start with the venue:1. It is gorgeous, both indoors and outdoors. Each room has architectural and furniture details that add character, and the outdoor spaces are tastefully landscaped. When all of these spaces are opened up (for example, during a reception), it gives guests plenty of options to mingle and roam per their needs.2. It has a number of different areas that can accommodate multiple different potential flows for your event and large groups of people without feeling intimidating or claustrophobic. For us, having different areas to do the Baraat, Ceremony, and Reception was important, and Casa Real could accommodate all of these needs.3. It is located in the heart of the Pleasanton vineyards, and is relatively easy to get to from multiple parts of the Bay Area.4. All of the indoor and outdoor spaces can be used in multiple different ways - this was important to us as we wanted to have an outdoor ceremony, but also wanted the flexibility to move it indoors should the weather be less than ideal. Casa Realâs variety of spaces made it possible to execute this plan B when it actually did rain the day of our wedding.What really set Casa Real apart for us was the engaging and wonderful staff:1. They are completely on top of the details and help guide you through the planning process from the moment you sign the contract.2. They are responsive, proactive, and have a positive attitude, from dealing with concerns to brainstorming solutions to problems.3. They are extremely attentive to their clientsâ needs, creatively finding ways to meet requests and working with you to make sure the day meets your vision while still being logistically feasible. 4. They have a wide variety of preferred vendors who can help transform the space for whatever vibe you are going for in your event.5. They have been doing this for a while, and have seen quite a bit, and so are prepared for almost every eventuality - case in point, our last minute changes when it was raining on our wedding day. Casa Real made our dream wedding a reality - and we cannot thank them enough for it!

The venue at Casa is beautiful, the halls were able to easily handle all of our needs, and the staff was amazing. The entire staff was professional and accommodating, consistently in communication with us as we went through the process of planning and getting ready for our wedding. Casa also had events that made our planning go much smoother. Their list of vendors is filled with a bunch of perfect people (Tyler Vu, Fantasy Sound, Asiel Design, and Thomas Hughes for a few shoutouts). In addition, they hosted multiple vendor meetups on site that allowed us to meet the vendors, try some things that we might want at our wedding, and also just get a feel for the place.The tasting event they hosted gave us a great feel for the menu, and as each and every item managed to come out perfectly for the 150 or so couples that were there, we knew that the venue could easily handle our large number of guests (300+!). In addition to the great food, during the wedding they managed to meet all of the dietary needs of our guests, and did it without a problem.Finally, a huge shout out to Sandy, our wedding day coordinator, who was a savior multiple times on our wedding night and made everything go smoothly.

Kavitha Ratnam(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-01-2018 We had our Indian wedding at Casa Real in April 2016 and had the most perfect experience imaginable. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the staff are all professional, patient, and very attentive to your needs/expectations. Our day-of wedding coordinator, Zainab, was very organized and helped streamline all the choatic, logistical decisions we had to make into something much more manageable. There were some mixed messages from our family unfortunately on certain wedding details, but she was extremely patient with these conflicts (although I can imagine it must have been frustrating). I can image wedding coordinating must be an extremely stressful job, but you would never think it given how enthusiastic and friendly the Casa Real staff always are. My friends still comment on how stress-free I was on my wedding day, and it was all because Zainab handled everything that day. I also appreciate that she and the staff made sure I was well fed and hydrated during the whole event, since there's no way I would have remembered or had time to to eat otherwise. Indian weddings can notoriously run overtime (I've been to ones where the ceremony itself runs an hour or two late); we still get compliments on how ours was a rarity because everything ran perfectly on schedule, thanks to Zainab and the other staff who put everything into motion.I hope one of my friends gets married here so I can visit this beautiful venue once again!

Kevyn Gardner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2014 This venue is beautiful and the service is amazing! Their specialty events are weddings and they definitely know what they are doing. They are incredibly efficient and quick with responses via email. I was planning my wedding while living out of state and they were so great in helping me plan from so far away. I mainly communicated with Kara, Alyssia, and Casey, and they were absolutely wonderful. Casa Real provides diagrams, timelines, and lists for just about anything you might need to know for having your wedding there. \r\rI would recommend this place in a heartbeat and to use their day-of-coordinator (I had Casey). Having a coordinator during the day's events was extremely helpful! It would have been so chaotic without her.\r\rThe only issue I had was that Casa Real was a little more expensive than I had hoped, but they really do offer so much in their package. So many of my guests said they loved the venue and the food. It truly is a gorgeous venue and their staff is the best!\r\rIn order to go with this venue, I tried to cut costs in other areas of my wedding and it was definitely worth it as I couldn't have been more pleased with the environment of my wedding. Although Casa Real is a little expensive, I'm somewhat surprised it doesn't cost more with everything they offer. Fridays and Sundays are cheaper than Saturday, however because of certain circumstances we went with Saturday.\r\rI wasn't quite sure what to expect before visiting the location with it being in Pleasanton, however once I saw the site, nowhere else in my mind compared. Their reception room, outside ceremony site, inside ceremony room, and bridal room are all right next to each other. Their bridal room is so large and gorgeous. I didn't think we needed that big of a room, until we were using it and realized it is such a great size for everyone to get ready in.\r\rI couldn't have been more pleased with my wedding at Casa Real, I just wish that the day didn't feel like it went by too quickly. If I had to do it over again, one of the only things I would probably change is going ahead and paying for an extra hour (which I originally thought would have been completely unnecessary). I had wanted only about 150 guests and so having about 200 made it much more difficult to talk to everyone in the amount of time. However, their reception room is so large that even with 200 guests there was still plenty of room to dance! Reviewed on 31-10-2014
Leah Wilson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-07-2014 We got married at Casa Real in July 2014 and had the most amazing experience!!! We had attended a wedding at Casa Real a few years ago and weren't sure we wanted to \"copy\" our friends and get married there. After visiting a number of venues in San Jose and the East Bay there was no question Casa Real was the best choice for us. The venue is beautiful and the service and quality of food/drinks is really affordable compared to other venues we explored. \rI love planning/organizing and the staff at Casa Real is incredibly detail oriented, which helped me feel comfortable that our wedding day would go smoothly. When you book the venue they provide you with a CD containing documents, pictures and details for every aspect of the wedding. They help you go through each aspect of the wedding, even details you wouldn't think of!\rThe food tasting was a ton of fun too! Several months before the wedding we went to the venue for a food tasting with other couples getting married in the same months as us. We got to try 6 full sized entrees, 2 salads, 2 soups and all of the appetizers. \rWe used a day of coordinator for our wedding day and she helped make sure the day ran smoothly, make sure I had time to breathe and relax. Everyone loved the food, drinks and venue and were very impressed with our wedding day. We couldn't have been happier that we picked Casa Real for our wedding. Reviewed on 02-08-2014
Stephanie Vasquez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-03-2014 I have been waiting to write this review and after 9 months of wedding planning the time has finally come!! Our wedding was on March 30, 2014 and it was absolutely flawless. I knew as soon as I visited Casa that it was the place for me. Be advised that they are in high demand and for damn good reason. Don't wait until 6 months before your desired date because it more than likely won't happen. Before I get to the impeccable service I'll start with the actual venue. The options are endless because it's basically a clean canvas. You can get married in 3 different locations and have the reception in one of two rooms. I chose the amber room for both and they flipped the room during cocktail hour. I don't think this is the norm here, but our wedding was 100 people and too small for the grand ballroom which can easily fit 200+. We could have rented furniture, draping and/or a partition, but let's face it weddings are already expensive. This place is pricey, but worth every single penny. Casa comes with a sweet candle package that really sets the stage for romance. I wanted a darker candlelit setting and they nailed it. The food is REALLY good, so much more than I expected and I'm pretty damn picky. The drinks are also tasty. We designed two signature drinks that were delicious and the wine was actually really good as well. They have a no shot policy and I think it's the smartest thing ever. I myself am a shot taker and had I had the option I would have been much more drunk than was necessary. I was just the right amount of intoxicated. This seems like a silly thing to include in a review, but for a drinker like myself it's helpful info. \r\rThe SERVICE -wow, I can't give them enough praise. I am borderline, ok, I am a control freak and the team here put any and all worries I had to ease. I worked with Kara and Z and I never waited more than an hour for a response. That is huge for a person like myself. I expect responsiveness and thorough responses at that when it comes to wedding planning and these women blew my mind. If only all vendors performed at this level. People need to take some serious notes from this dream team. I asked questions a normal person wouldn't ask and I asked a LOT of them and they never once seemed bothered or anything but happy to help me. I could literally go on and on about both Z and Kara. Much love ladies!! Xoxo\r\rDAY OF -Even if you are the most prepared person out there, as I consider myself to be, you still can't adequately prepare for your wedding day because the emotions and anxiety leading up to it get to you. Things like the fact that you're starving around the time you take pictures. NOT to worry! They prepare the bridal suite with drinks and snacks and follow you with them as you are taking photos. Sounds minimal, but it's huge. I decided to switch to sandals pretty early in the evening and forgot about it during the garter toss. Oops. Z totally had my back and went and grabbed my shoes along with my money bag dance purse. She guided us throughout the whole rehearsal and wedding day process and I will always be thankful for that. \r\rAll and all if you want a beautiful venue with a team that is going to make your wedding planning as stress free as possible go with Casa Real. I guarantee you'll be writing a novel of a review as I am now. ;) Reviewed on 24-04-2014
Steph Ng(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2013 We loved our wedding, in fact we wish we could have been guests at our own wedding! This was largely due to the team at Casa Real and the beautiful venue. You have an option of having your ceremony indoors in the Amber room or in their gorgeous garden. We had our ceremony in the garden and the reception in the grand ballroom. The ballroom is HUGE and elegant but it does require A LOT of extra decor (read: $$$) to dress it up and make it more intimate and warm. There is a beautiful and convenient bridal room, but unfortunately no groom's room for the guys to hang out. To offset this, they do provide a table and chairs in the ballroom with the same snacks as the bridal party which helped a lot since there is a lot of down time leading up to the event. They do however only allow up to 2 hours access prior to your event and you have to pay for any additional hours. The staff was excellent and very responsive and supportive throughout the entire planning process leading up to the day of. Reviewed on 10-09-2013
Ashley Welch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-07-2013 Choosing Casa Real as our wedding venue was the first and best decision that we made when planning our July 2013 wedding. \r\rWe booked in January 2012, so don't say you haven't been warned about booking early. The moment we walked in, we were sold. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and grand, while still feeling intimate. \r\rOur entire planning process, Kara was always there to answer absolutely any question. She is incredibly knowledgable and very prompt responding to emails. A bride's dream! We chose to have a day-of planner, as we held our ceremony and reception on site. Jessica was just perfect. She was incredibly organized and knowledgeable, not to mention kind and fun to be with. She guided us through everything! While I liked to think that I was pretty on top of it, there were still plenty of details that did not occur to me-thankfully Jessica was already planning for those things that I missed or offering suggestions to make things flow better or look classier.\r\rOn wedding day, everything was set up perfectly, better than I could have done myself. The staff was incredibly professional and every detail was taken care of. We were even sent home with a care package to enjoy in our hotel room that night. Our wedding day was not without its hiccups (like breaking my wrist two weeks prior, for one), but everything was perfect and filled with so much joy and laughter, it is difficult to put into words. \r\rMy only complaint would be that we had to end at 10pm. We could have danced much later, but that's true of any special day, you don't want it to end. \r\rIf you are looking for an elegant, large, professionally-run venue, Casa Real is it!

Nicole Wentz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-05-2013 We got married here on Friday, May 31, 2013. We can't say enough about this place. It was gorgeous! Everything was in bloom including the vines, making our pictures turn out amazing. The inside decor is beautiful. We only got two decor upgrades, the candle package and up lighting. Both of those with our amazing florist (Delford West, a preferred vendor of Casa) the room were perfect. We used the standard chairs, which matched our colors of the wedding, and we thought it looked great. \r\rThe staff was also amazing and we never had any issues. Every time we had a question for the staff we would email them and they got back to us the same day. We never had any problems regarding staff members. Even on the day of the event all the staff was exceptional and went out of their way to make our wedding amazing. \r\rWe had Alyssia Lundgren as our day of coordinator, which we highly recommend getting. Alyssia coordinated every aspect of our wedding including the rehearsal. Alyssia was there for us for whatever we needed. We did the \"First Look\" for pictures and I got makeup on the front of my dress. Alyssia got the makeup off of the dress, got a spot off of my husbandâs tux, and fixed his groomsmen's button that fell off before the wedding even took place. She was a lifesaver! She would also bring us refreshments into the bridal suite, which was a nice pre-party. After our ceremony Alyssia directed us away from the reception area and had a mini reception area set up just for the bridal party. She also had our marriage license ready to be signed and walked us through how to properly do it. Alyssia even mailed the license out before the evening was over, which was a huge help because we received our certified marriage certificate within 10 days. It was at our house when we got home from our honeymoon, which allowed me to be able to change my last name quickly. Alyssia never stopped looking out for us even when our wedding was over. I got an email from her two days later when she returned to work say we left a card in the safe and she was going to put it in the mail. I really can't say enough about all of the staff, especially Alyssia. If you can request her for your day of coordinator, we highly recommend her. \r\rSo since the wedding was on a Friday the food choices are limited, but you can get pretty much anything you want as an upgrade. We went with Chicken Saltimbocca and a New York Steak. All the food was perfect. We still are being told by guests that the steak was the best they have ever had. Not just at a wedding, but ever. The best part, it was not like a typical wedding where the piece of meat is very small. The steaks were so big there were a lot of people that could not even finish it. Very good portions and best of all delicious. Recommend getting the streak upgrade if it is not an option. We got the sangria bar as an upgrade for before the wedding. They set the bar up in the entry room so people could help themselves and have a drink while they wait and during the ceremony. The sangria was very good and they let you have three flavors. We also got the churros and the grilled cheese and french fries upgrade. These were served after dinner and everybody seemed to love them. It was a perfect snack to soak up some of the alcohol. After an open bar for 5 hours it was needed. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! \r Reviewed on 03-07-2013

When we first toured the venue over a year ago, we both fell in love with the place and had to have our wedding there and we could not have made a better choice! This is a gorgeous venue and the event coordinators (Kara and Zainab) and staff were wonderful. We planned our wedding from across the U.S and had to do everything by email and phone. They worked with us and were very prompt in answering any questions I had. They also allowed my mom and sister to do the food tasting event in our place which was a big help. The food was delicious! All our guests complimented us on the food (appetizers and dinner). They offer a scallop station during cocktail hour that we highly recommend if it is in your budget. We also opted for the day of event coordinator and we are so glad we did! They were extremely organized and kept us on schedule which was very helpful. They also helped set up a lot of the decorations the way we had agreed upon and made the entrance room look lovely with all the decor and flowers I had chosen. There is really so many good things to say about this venue. If you can afford this venue, definitely do it! Reviewed on 02-05-2013
Rochelle Masella(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2012 I don't even know where to begin, my husband and I were married at the Casa Real last September and I'd have to say there was no better choice. We started searching 18 months prior to the wedding. We knew we wanted to be married on a vineyard so we tried looking at the Napa Valley region first. As we were not surprised, the estate fees along with the very high costs were way out of our budget. We discovered Casa Real during our search of the tri-valley area and were blown away with the property. It had all the elements we wanted: the vineyard, a rustic meditteranean feel, the beautiful amber room for the ceremony, a gorgeous sun garden for our cocktail hour and a large reception hall. It was even better than the Napa Valley locations we looked at. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. After putting our deposit down to hold our date, we were able to make payments at our own pace with only a couple real due dates (for 50% and final payment date). Throughout the 18 months, the staff was very attentive to our needs and really helped us capture what we believed to be a picture perfect wedding. The tasting was my favorite part! You get to try a selection of the menu they offer and it is DELICIOUS! There was also a wine tasting at some point. I highly suggest hiring the event coordinator for the day of. It will be the best money you spend so that you don't have to stress out on your wedding day. Alicia made our wedding day go so smooth and we were so impressed with the entire staff on our wedding day. Very professional!
