    We had amazing time at the casino last night for our charity event. This property offers the best of everything gorgeous interior a beautiful garden and very friendly staff. When you have an event here they go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time the food is always so delicious in the atmosphere is amazing. You can book any event for a wedding or a large party. Very close to the San Clemente Beach. And you actually can see the ocean from this property.

    Grand Ballroom Set for a Wedding Reception

    Just a day ago Diane and I were guests here at a wedding ceremony, and the cocktail hour and dinner reception that immediately followed. I was very impressed with the venue. The outdoor wedding ceremony area easily held seats for 200 people in a green and wooded garden setting. And in a courtyard featuring an outdoor fireplace, circular high tables held drink glasses and served as good meeting places for informal conversations during the cocktail hour, while a full-service bar nearby featured skilled and friendly bartenders. Inside the capacious Grand Ballroom fortunate guests were served an 8-course Chinese feast at large 10-seat tables while being entertained by 2 Chinese dragons on the large dance floor below a small stage. If one counts the cup of Hot & Sour Soup I scored as an extra vegetarian offering, and a slice of Wedding Cake, I actually had a 10-course meal, in addition to the Pan-Fried Potstickers and other hot treats that were served earlier as pass-arounds by friendly servers. There was ample room for a DJ to lay down the beats, with outstanding acoustics; and the wooden dance floor had a smooth and appealing surface on which to show off one's best dance moves. Also factoring in the glamorous movie star history of this place, Casino San Clemente seems to be a great location to hold a wedding ceremony and reception, or other special event.

    We had our wedding here on 10/8/2022 and it was absolutely perfect! We had our ceremony in the Rock Garden, cocktail hour in the Patio of the Stars and dinner in the West Wing. We had approximately 75 people and the setup was very comfortable space wise. Casino staff was very responsive and accommodating. The Casino has their own bar staff and handles the bar packages. We were very impressed with the bar staff, they were friendly and the cocktails were fantastic! Guests really enjoyed our signature cocktails (we went with the Old Fashioned and the Paloma). The Casino has a list of preferred caterers that you must choose from. We did tastings with all three, and they were all fantastic but ultimately we went with California Fresh and were very pleased. The Casino provided suggestions for other vendors as well, but the only vendor we were required to choose from their list was the caterer. The venue itself is a beautiful historic location with a ton of character and gorgeous views of the ocean across the street. Everyone had a great time, and our photos were fantastic. Finally, the pricing both for the venue and the bar packages were very reasonable, especially compared to other options in the area. I am so happy we chose the Casino for our big day!

    A super venue. We keep going for the music and and food venues. The jazz nights are super fun. The setting is historic and fun. While the pictures are of days past and our parents/grandparents era a super fun location to eat and have entertainment!

    As a wedding photographer, I love this venue! It is gorgeous, the outdoor ceremony area is beautiful! The variety of rooms, and scenery gives you so many options for stunning photos. https://www.jennymarkham.com/

    2/16/2020 Wedding Let's start from the top. My wife and I were pretty close on selecting a wedding venue and had our top picks laid out. Well we took a closer look at Orange County region and came across this small cute beach town known as San Clemente. Upon browsing wedding venue options The Casino San Clemente was a standout. Once we browsed the grounds, heard the history and checked out the surrounding area we were sold. Who doesn't want to get married a minute walk from the beach?! We were fans of the overall Spanish vintage theme of the venue and the history of live music and theatre like productions occurring here (my wife and I met at a concert). The premises has three distinct areas for wedding type events (Rock Garden, Patio of Stars/West Wing, and Grand Ballroom) that are spacious and full of character. Thanks to all the associates we worked with as they were all helpful, easy to communicate with, and timely. From providing preferred vendors, assisting with parking permit set-up, bar clarifications, included furniture/table set-ups etc. On our wedding day everything came together perfectly with great weather and we couldn't of been any happier. All our guests enjoyed themselves and praised how beautiful The Casino and town of San Clemente was. They also really dug the great customer service provided by the bar. My wife and I took the time to quick chat and thank them for killing it on our night. Once again thanks Casino San Clemente and all associates for making our wedding truly special!

    Beautiful setting for a wedding or party celebration! Cool ocean breezes and a lot of history in this beautiful land mark.

    Our ceremony space in the Rock Garden. We wanted it simple, with just greenery and candles on the mantle.

From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we knew we were in the best hands possible. A massive, heartfelt thank you to Malea Jenkins. Malea is an absolute rockstar who guided us with poise and expertise from our very first contract draft through every intricate detail of the planning process. Having her support throughout every step of the process was a game-changer; her guidance ensured our day was not just special, but flawlessly executed. Her passion and dedication made our event everything that we could have imagined and more. The entire team at Agape has redefined hospitality for us. Every staff member we encountered was remarkably kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to be accommodating. The food was simply incredible and was easily a highlight of the evening for our guests. Agape has officially set the highest bar for what a premier event venue should be. If you're even considering them, do yourself a favor and attend one of their Happy Hour or Date Night events to experience the magic firsthand. We are already looking forward to hosting all of our future milestones here. Highest possible recommendation!

Agape was an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue that none of my family has ever been to. It has this old Spanish colonial style decoration that has been used and updated for its beautiful charm. Per request, pictures weren't allowed during the ceremony which was held in the courtyard. Once that was done, everyone moved over into the first portion of the building. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were being served until the bride and groom were done with their professional pictures. Dinner was then served and opened up in the next room where it was an intimate setting approximately 10 tables of 8 seats. No buffet line, everything was orchestrated with sit down table service. Exquisite and very chiq to its finest. Absolutely one of the best weddings and wedding venue I've ever attended!

The Spanish-style steps are really neat and the view that overlooks the beach is something else. Bear in mind there are noise ordinances in place that are pretty darn strict: the processional music is going to be quiet, and the wrap time is 10 PM (if not a little before) to ensure that the neighbors don't complain. The inside area where the dancing is can get pretty hot and steamy and the ordinance forbids having the doors open to air the place out. But the view/grandeur of the space to cost ratio is pretty unbeatable, just hope that there aren't any trains passing by during important parts of the ceremony! Would love to come back for another wedding!

There's a ramp that leads down to north beach and the train station. Also, there is a walking trail right at the beach too. There's also some great restaurants nearby, like Moulin, Beach Hut Deli and a new Steak restaurant. Just note that all parking is metered and you will get a ticket if you don't pay. Ultimately, this is a gorgeous venue for a party, picnic and more!

    We truly could not have asked for a better venue owner than Cate for our son's wedding. From the…read morevery beginning, she was warm, kind, and genuinely invested in making the day special. She went above and beyond in ways both big and small, and it made all the difference. Her space is absolutely beautiful. It has such an artsy, welcoming feel and was perfect for our 80 person reception. The lighting created a magical atmosphere, the sound system worked flawlessly, and the indoor outdoor flow gave guests room to mingle, relax, and celebrate comfortably. One of the most generous touches was allowing us to use her home for staging the bride and groom. That level of trust and hospitality meant so much to our family. Throughout the entire process, she was accommodating, helpful, and always available with a calm, reassuring presence. If you are looking for a venue with heart, creativity, and an owner who truly cares, this is it. We are so grateful for everything she did to make the celebration unforgettable.

    We recently had the opportunity to DJ an event at The Fish Tank in Capistrano Beach (34233 Via…read moreSanta Rosa, Dana Point), and it immediately impressed us. Start with the owner. Cate is professional, responsive, and genuinely collaborative. Communication is clear. Load-in is organized. The space is clean and well maintained. When a venue runs this smoothly, it reduces friction for vendors and creates a better experience for clients and guests. That kind of operational competence doesn't happen by accident. The design is what makes this venue distinct. The short-throw projectors transform the walls into a fully immersive aquarium or fishbowl environment. It's not a novelty effect; it's a production tool. For weddings, the room can feel atmospheric and romantic. For corporate events, branded visuals wrap the space in a way that feels custom and high-end. Few venues at this size offer that level of visual flexibility. From an audio standpoint, the room performs extremely well. We run MagiCali, a Southern California mobile DJ company specializing in weddings and corporate events, and we evaluate every room through a production lens. We look at ceiling height, wall material, reflection patterns, power distribution, and how low-end energy travels across a dancefloor. We've worked in luxury ballrooms, outdoor coastal venues, private estates, and converted industrial spaces. The Fish Tank is one of the rare venues where you don't have to compensate for the room. Speeches are articulate and easy to understand. Dinner music sits comfortably without overwhelming conversation. When it's time to transition into dancing, the room holds energy evenly instead of creating hot spots or dead zones. That tells you the space was built and tuned with care. For clients, that technical quality translates into confidence. You don't have to worry about muddy sound during toasts or harsh reflections once the music turns up. The venue supports the event instead of fighting it. There are many event spaces in Orange County. Very few combine strong visual identity, flexible projection capability, solid acoustics, and hands-on ownership. The Fish Tank is an undiscovered gem, and for what Cate currently charges, it represents exceptional value. It would not be surprising to see this venue commanding significantly higher rates in the near future. If you're planning a wedding, private celebration, or corporate event in Dana Point or Capistrano Beach, this space deserves serious consideration. It's distinctive, technically sound, and professionally run -- exactly the kind of venue that allows a well-executed event to shine.

I (the bride) was working in the area when I stopped by Aventura Ocean Club by myself at first to check the venue out. I loved it so much I had to bring my now husband back as soon as we got back from a mini vacation and on that day, we secured the location. Just imagine an amazing view of the harbor and sailboats while feeling relaxed in a room that is modern, intimate and designed well. This venue is NOT old school like some weddings that we have all been to, its updated and amazing. Besides the view, another huge selling point is the largest wrap around balcony I have seen at a wedding. Aventura Ocean Club sets up couches, chairs, and a firepit outside for the guests to enjoy while they are not inside. We had our wedding on 8/10/2019 and we have nothing but great things to say about the venue. We got married at Heritage Park in Dana Point (Simone coordinated all of this) and had our reception at Aventura Ocean Club. I am still getting compliments to this day about the venue, the view, the decorations, the food, the grand entrance that we did (think sail boat entrance) and even the florals, DJ and photographer we used (all who came recommended from Simone). We could not have asked for a better wedding and we are truly pleased. It is obvious Simone cares about her clients and truly believes in marriage and happiness, she was wonderful to work with. A few helpful hints about this venue: 1. It is intimate but fit 100 people on the inside with no issue. 2. Your guests will rave about the sail boat grand entrance if you choose this option. 3. If you use their wedding package/coordinating services (which you should in a heartbeat) your event will look even better than you imagined but with your style through and through. 4. Simone/Aventura Ocean Club/Orange County Beach Weddings and all her recommended vendors will give you the wedding of your dreams. 5. This was in our price range where a lot of other beach/beachy/coastal venues were significantly more money and you had to do everything yourselves.
