Casa Real Events | Claudia and Juan

We’ve seen couples explore many themes, from industrial chic to boho, but one of our favorites is rustic elegance. Claudia and Juan’s celebration sets the stage for a wedding with light and airy elements and a gorgeous color palette. Take a peek at their stunning day!

Before the festivities begin, Claudia gets ready with her wedding party. We love how everyone is helping her prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.

Drum roll, please…Claudia’s final look is breathtaking.

As guests trickle in, a welcome sign decorated with silver dollar eucalyptus and white and peach roses greets them. And the signage is only the beginning – check out the reception hall! The floral arrangements on the barrels, ornate fireplace, and detailing on Casa Real’s walls really bring out the couple’s theme.

The space is full of love and joy as the ceremony commences.

After the “I dos,” Claudia and Juan pose with their wedding party. Casa Real’s stone exterior and cedar doors are the perfect backdrop for this moment.

Moving on to the reception party, the guests take in the entire scene. The floral arrangements and minimalistic centerpieces offer a light and elegant touch. But we also want to highlight the details, like the floral gobo wash and cute signages on the backs of the sweetheart chairs. It’s the little things that make the biggest splash!

Claudia and Juan capture everyone’s attention with their first dance. They’re getting lost in the moment, and so are we! Afterward, they do the honors of cutting their cake. Can someone save us a slice?

Let’s raise a toast to newlyweds Claudia and Juan! It was a joy to witness your vision come alive.

Thank you to our creative partners for making this a special day they’ll never forget.

7 Tips for Planning the Perfect Holiday Party

The holiday season is officially here, and it’s time to kickstart your event plans. Are you thinking of hosting a winter wonderland, a classic spin on Santa’s workshop, or the Grinch’s lair? Before you dive into the décor, venues, and catering, review these seven essential tips to ensure you plan a successful holiday party that blows everyone away and takes your celebration to the next level.

Send invites ahead of time

The holidays are a busy time for family traditions and travels. As a result, everyone’s calendars will fill up quickly. So if you’re planning a holiday event, send your invites early. A prompt invitation will give guests enough opportunity to include your occasion in their holiday plans and ensure you have a fuller party.

Not a fan of the traditional mail route? Opt to send online invites to save time and costs. Also, an RSVP option will give you an estimated headcount to plan accordingly for catering and venue details.

Create a budget

As exciting as it is to book vendors immediately, consider establishing a spending plan first. When you have a budget, you will have more clarity as you reach out to planners, venues, and entertainment for your holiday needs. A budget will also ensure you don’t run overboard and stress about numbers after the event. So be smart and save yourself the hassle – you’ll thank us later!

Consider your event’s theme

Your theme can be as simple as a color scheme or holiday-inspired elements, like a song or a movie. Once you’ve decided on a theme, weave it throughout the rest of your party for a cohesive design. For example, if you’re a fan of Elf, you can transform the venue into the North Pole or New York City’s version of Christmas. You can also add custom signage to tie everything together. Your guests will certainly get a kick out of it!

Acknowledge the guest experience

What style meshes well with your guests – dancing the night away or bonding over games and activities? If you want to provide a memorable experience, you have to keep your guests in mind. Of course, you can go classic with a dance floor and DJ or rent a photo booth to build engagement and give people memories to take home with them. If you need more clarity, ask for feedback from your team or family.

Go with catering

It’s not a proper party without delicious aromas and appetizers filling the space. Rather than relying on the potluck style, consider hiring a professional caterer or food truck (you can never go wrong with a taco truck)! Bringing caterers on board will ensure you have plenty of food for everyone to enjoy and make the night a breeze.

Hire a bartender

A professional mixologist is a must if you’re throwing a holiday party, even if you’re hosting at your home or business. A bartender knows how to make every drink in the book, so they’re the perfect addition to your celebration. Sit back, relax, and let your guests sip on their favorite curated cocktails while having a great time!

Also, you can brainstorm and create a custom drink with the bartender that represents your family, business, or holiday theme. It’s a fun detail that will tickle your guests’ senses!

Get your lighting done by a pro

You’d be amazed at how decorative lighting can elevate an event. Pair your décor with event lighting to make the party even more magical. There are plenty of popular lighting designs for your special occasion. For example, custom monograms, uplights, backdrops, and gobo washes can transform a space into a wintry sight to behold. Take everyone’s breath away with a stunning design to complete your holiday event!

This year, surprise your guests with something refreshing and memorable. The holidays are the perfect opportunity to express your appreciation to your team and family, so make the most of your celebrations!

Casa Real Events Wedding | Chantel + Colby

Today, we’re highlighting a dazzling Casa Real wedding that took our breath away. Chantel and Colby’s celebration was stunning, with Casa Real bringing out all the stops to ensure their vision came alive.

Before the wedding festivities began, the couple shared a sweet moment in front of the arched cedar doors. The stone exterior provided the perfect natural backdrop.

Colby and his groomsmen were dressed to the nines as they strutted through the entryway. Their smiles were contagious, and their energy was high! We could feel every ounce of joy.

As we moved to the reception hall, the aisle was lined with white petals, tying the light and airy features of the fireplace and chandelier together. The fireplace’s gorgeous floral detailing perfectly framed the couple as they shared their vows.

The tall vaulted ceilings, flowy curtains, and crystal-beaded chandelier had everyone speechless. Look at the beautiful couple as they shared their first dance beneath the sparkling crystals!

The pink and white floral arrangements made for gorgeous centerpieces with tall golden stands elevating each tablescape.

We especially love the customized gobo wash splashed across the dance floor, celebrating Chantel and Colby’s special day.

Casa Real provided the perfect stage for the dragon dance performance. The guests couldn’t take their eyes off the dancers – and we couldn’t either!

Raise your glasses and join us in congratulating Chantel and Colby!

It was a pleasure seeing their beautiful day come to life with the help of our creative partners.

Today, we’re bringing a truly stunning Casa Real wedding with you as we celebrate Tiffany and Jesse’s nuptials! It’s always a pleasure working at Casa Real, especially when we get to work with a couple as fun-loving and open-minded as these two.

Their sweet wedding ceremony brought elegance to the forefront with soft uplighting, gold accents, and beautiful blooms.

And as we move to the reception space, you’ll notice some familiar floral arrangements dressing up the sweetheart table! (Although you may miss it, seeing that our crystal beaded chandelier really stole the show.)

The starburst chandelier really highlighted the dance floor, putting Tiffany and Jesse center-stage for their first dance. And of course, their guests loved breaking it down “under the stars” as the night went on!

A simple, classy crystal chandelier strung above the sweetheart table added an elegant touch to the space, giving them the perfect photo op alongside blush blooms and greenery.

However, it wasn’t all fab design! Tiffany and Jesse’s guests were treated to a fully immersive experience with yard games like Connect 4 and Jenga, as well as a DIY horchata bar (YUM!).

So won’t you join us in celebrating these sweet lovebirds? Cheers to you, Tiffany and Jesse!

More than anything, we’d like to express our gratitude to the wonderful creative partners who made this Casa Real wedding a day to remember!

We love how Wish Social Events dressed up our drapery to create this one-of-a-kind arbor — a beautiful addition to frame the sweetheart table!

Kate Boyle, The Club at Ruby Hill {Creative Partner Spotlight}

We are thrilled to shine our spotlight Kate Boyle to the blog today! Kate is the Private Events Administrative Assistant at The Club at Ruby Hill, which means she’s the one keeping the trains moving for all of their onsite events.

Get to know Kate and how she supports couples at The Club at Ruby Hill!

Tell us a bit about your professional background. What brought you to the event industry?

I started my career at the front desk of a local hotel in San Ramon with the goal of gaining experience in the hospitality industry because that is my major in college. I really enjoyed the work, even though our only event space was a business meeting room.

I started in June with The Club at Ruby Hill working the front desk and quickly became interested in all of the detailed Event Orders. I would write down the timelines in my downtime so that I could be informed if a guest were to come ask me anything, as they often did!

After seeing how busy the wedding season has been, the leadership team welcomed me to the office to assist the Private Events Manager and the sales team with administrative tasks like processing invoices and deposits. I look forward to gaining more experience in the events business and would one day be interested in working to plan music festivals!

What do you love about your job at The Club at Ruby Hill?

I love the team atmosphere here at The Club and its inspiring to see the backstage process that goes into planning a wedding! My favorite part about The Club is the golf and social atmosphere that surrounds us which makes for a great work environment.

If you could share one wedding planning tip with an engaged couple, what would you tell them?

If I could share one wedding planning tip with an engaged couple it would be to enjoy the process! It can be easy to get overwhelmed with specific details but staying organized and starting early makes for a huge advantage. I’ve seen engaged couples create their own blog-type website dedicated to all of their details along with a specific email address that they correspond to all of their vendors that way they don’t get lost in their personal inboxes.

We’re delighted to welcome Kate to the Livermore wedding community, and we can’t wait to continue our collaboration!

Holiday Party at Casa Real | Sequoia

We’ve been eager to share this holiday party at Casa Real with you, and we’re thrilled the time has come! Sequoia is always showing out for their company celebrations — we’ve transformed Casa Real into everything from a circus to a glam Hollywood flashback. So this time, we couldn’t wait to embrace the winter wonderland theme!

From the all-white tablescapes to the glistening chandeliers throughout the space, we like to think we had the wintry vibe on lock. I mean, just see for yourself!

But this celebration wasn’t just about design and décor… It was all about the guest experience! Hello, just take a peek at this sweet S’mores bar that was set outside. And on such a beautiful day, too!

We had hand-drawn caricatures, aerial performers, ballet dancers, a DIY fry bar, and so much more. Heck, even the Abominable Snowman and Buddy the Elf came to party with us!

Without a doubt, the show-stopping moment was when Nina Sawant came out and wowed the guests with her aerial performance!

And, of course, we couldn’t miss out on the wintry ballet performance. What a treat! The stage was decked out with everything needed to transform the space into a wonderland.

Meanwhile, guests were free to have their caricatures done and interact with roaming performers throughout the space.

As you can see, Sequoia really pulled out all of the stops for this one-of-a-kind event! Our creative team paired flawless aesthetics with an unforgettable experiential event design. We’re already looking forward to our next Sequoia event — it’s sure to be a blast!

Above all, we’d like to send our thanks to our amazing creative partners for helping us bring this holiday party at Casa Real to life!

Bria + Ryan’s Pleasanton Wedding Featured on PartySlate

Be still our hearts! We were thrilled to see Bria and Ryan’s gorgeous Casa Real wedding featured on PartySlate in all of its glory.

Now, the photos below are just a glimpse of the reception. But wait until you see the romantic ceremony setup and the stunning outdoor lounge space! The combination of draping, greenery, candlelight, and plush furniture is truly a scene to behold.

Oh, and did we mention the nacho bar decked out with all the fixings? It was the perfect match to Bria and Ryan’s two signature cocktails: negronis and margaritas. If that doesn’t sound like a party to remember, we don’t know what does.

Guests were truly treated to an inviting celebration of the newlyweds, complete with a bottle of red wine to take home!

4 Clever Holiday Event Décor Ideas

The holiday season is upon us! This is the perfect time to celebrate and create wonderful memories that you and your loved ones will remember fondly for years to come. If you’re planning a holiday event this time of year, make sure to bring the cheer! You can start by adding some decorative elements and embellishments to your venue to create a welcoming and festive vibe.

Venue: Casa Real

Are you struggling to figure out how to decorate your holiday event? This blog post is perfect for you! Read on for tips and ideas to get your holiday event just right.

Wow your guests with interactive food stations

An excellent way to impress your guests is with carefully selected, interactive food stations. These can complement your traditional catering, plus you can jazz them up with thematic décor. The idea is to offer variety and interactivity by getting your guests involved as they prepare their own food or beverage.

Since the holiday season always calls for hot drinks, you can set up a bar where guests can make their own hot chocolate or peppermint coffee. And for eventgoers with a sweet tooth, you can prepare a buffet of holiday treats like sugar cookies, gingerbread biscuits, and cupcakes they can decorate before eating!

Not only do these food stations offer guests a unique and fun experience, but they also encourage them to mingle.

Adorn your holiday event space with natural elements

A few pinecones, chestnuts, berries, and sprigs of greenery can add some flair to your holiday décor. By using natural elements, you are able to set a warm and cozy mood, and we all know that this is what the holidays are all about!

Have fun with holiday event signage

The signage at your event serves various functions. They can provide information, directions, and even reminders to your guests. But don’t forget to make sure they match your theme to tie the look of your holiday event together!

Consider alluding to Santa, the holidays, Christmas, Chanukah, or winter when crafting your signage. For instance, imagine calling an interactive food station, the Elf-Service Station (Get it? Self-service)! Or, you could add a touch of humor to your decor with “better not pout” tabletop signs.

These are just a few fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing, but the possibilities are endless!

Place some hanging string lights

If you’re going for a winter wonderland feel for your holiday event, try hanging some ice blue, bright white, or warm white string lights to create the perfect ambiance. You can also opt to buy string lights with a snowflake design. With the proper lighting, you are sure to keep things merry and bright!

Regardless of how you decorate your holiday event, remember to strive for a consistent and cohesive look for your event. Choose a theme and matching color palette, then stick to them. Happy holidays!
