My husband and I LOST our original wedding venue literally TWO weeks before our wedding and we had…read moreNO idea what to do. Our wedding coordinator went all out and helped us look for new venues and we were then introduced to CasaV. I'm not too sure where to even begin but bottomline, if you are looking for a venue for your event or your wedding, or if you're looking for a nice place to just get away, BOOK CASA V NOW! These are some of the most amazing, kind-hearted, and hardworking people I have ever met and our wedding was beyond amazing! Natalie met with us the week before our wedding and showed us the property (mind you this meeting was super last minute and she had just coordinated an event the day before). As soon as we set foot on the property, we fell in love and the replacement venue option we almost went with that morning was no longer an option. From the handmade vintage decor, to the repurposed green room, to the beautiful front and back spaces with the giant lighted tree, to the bride and groom's getting ready rooms, everything fit our vibe and we knew we had to get married there. From the day we booked CasaV as our new venue to the wedding day (which was about 1 week) Natalie & Kirt went above and beyond to help us pull together our 150 person wedding. It was one thing that they even allowed us to book their venue with only 1 week's notice, it was another thing that they adjusted their max guest capacity for us, but it was even ANOTHER thing that they helped us in ways they truly didn't have to. Simply allowing us to have our event there was enough but they did more. I could go on and on and on about how beautiful our event was because of CasaV and the people, but I would need a lot more space. Kirt, Natalie, and their family are an example of people who do what they do out of their love for it and for people. Casa V was and still is a God send for us and we will forever cherish them. If you choose to get married here (I really hope you do) or if you want to hold an event like a shower or girls' night, I promise you'll be blessed with a beautiful space and even more beautiful people.

It's been almost a year since my daughters wedding and I need to do a shout out to CasaV!! We held…read moremy daughters bridal shower there along with her rehearsal dinner and she also stayed the night before her wedding with her bridesmaids in the Casita and my son in law and his groomsmen arrived the day of the wedding to get ready in CasaV Billiard room. Let's first start by saying I'm a controller and like things done my way and never feel things will get done properly without me overseeing everything. I met my match with Natalie the owner. Her vision, creativity and attention to detail are beyond what you could imagine. I got to the point where I gave her full reign to do what she wanted and she definitely exceeded our expectations. I also want to commend Natalie on her communication with us throughout the process. She was always on top of everything giving us a checklist and also giving advice along the way to help with a seamless celebration. The best compliment was our guests telling us they didn't want to leave because the atmosphere was so welcoming and they were having too much fun. If you are thinking of using CasaV for your next event DONT hesitate to reserve your date. Natalie and her team will go out of their way to make your dream come true. Thank you again for everything we will never forget our special memories made at CasaV

We got a early access to the hall at 4 pm on the Friday prior to decorate and help set up tables. The tables and chairs are fold out but we were able to setup on three sections with ample space for kids to run around. There is a side room, ballroom style which can accommodate a DJ. Then there's a back kitchen with a couple stoves and ample space for a bar area. The hall has a stage and plenty of parking for guests. Although parking was not an issue there is a park across Little Corralitos Way for public parking. All in all, great experience, and not a ton of drama with the parking situation. Would recommend the hall for family get togethers and moderately sized events. One thing to keep in mind is cell service may be hit or miss and getting to the hall can be challenging for first time visitors. They can always stop at Corralitos Market and ask for directions.

The police were called, it was a real mess. Then all of the sudden it was decided that all of the cars were parked in the wrong direction and every single car had to be moved, a fire code issue they claimed. The worst part is that the flow of traffic was not impeded, people were able to pass through normally etc. It's just neighbors like this Yosemite Sam asshole who believe Corralitos belongs to them and they're going to police people, these generational types living in grandma's house. This venue is a yes but you need to designate someone who can play yard duty otherwise your day will be a never ending cluster fuck.

They let us know about the amenities (pools and hot tubs) , their restaurant and bar and other activities for the weekend. We loved that after a day of hiking their golf cart drivers took us down and back to the private beach for sunset. You can rent a bonfire they tend for you with s'mores. We did not buy one but looked nice. We enjoyed breakfast at their restaurant and also one evening had a cocktail at their bar and there was live music which was very nice. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean with a fireplace, a large closet, comfortable bed, with stocked and full kitchen. The negative :( Our bathroom , sadly it was very tiny and the shower head was horrible. The connection between shower and toilet was one door that barely fit in the space. Bathroom needs a remodel! Over all 5 stars would LOVE to stay again!

The venue is pretty large so it hosted a lot of people, which fit the evening band event well because there was a great turnout! There was a food truck just outside so you could bring food in, and we saw many tables with Tupperware so they must allow outside food as well (it may be just for events, so I'd call to confirm). The only reason I had to knock one star off is because of the ambiance. There are many wineries in the area, and El Vaquero is wonderful... it is just a more casual casual, basic setting. The things that count (wine and people) are fantastic though!

I was so excited to go to the Strawberry Festival for the first time but was unfortunately very…read moreunderwhelmed. There's not enough strawberry if that makes sense. There's really only the main street that has food with strawberries in it like the strawberry tacos, strawberry tamales, strawberry pizza, etc. The rest of the streets are just full of assorted vendors and other food trucks. I was expecting stands with strawberry jams, jellies, candy, I mean the possibilities are limitless. I tried the big 3, strawberry tacos, strawberry tamales, and strawberry pizza. The taco line was the longest one at the entire festival and they were mediocre. The tortilla is just colored pink and I could barely taste the strawberry in the salsa and the strawberry bits on top also didnt add any strawberry flavor so it was basically just a sub par street taco. You get 4 per order but really not worth the $20. The strawberry tamale was the star and the only thing I would ever consider going back for. It was piping hot with whipped cream and fresh strawberry on top. There's no filling but it's still packed with strawberry flavor and I went back to get another before leaving. The strawberry pizza was good, fresh made so there may be a bit of a wait. I just wish there was more strawberry pieces and jam on top because it looked pretty much like a slice of cheese pizza with a sprinkle of strawberry. Parking was $10 in the city plaza structure, I recommend going early to get a spot as it was pretty full when we left. Overall I wouldn't go back again but good to experience the one time.
