Reviews for Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery
I had my wedding here on September 12th and had the time of my life! I wish I could re-live the moment. My guests and I had a blast and it's all because of the entire Casa Real team for making it work. They are the ones that helped worked their magic in transforming the ballroom into a wine and chocolates wonderland. Everything was great from the food, drinks, lighting, and etc. My huge family was able to feel warm and comfortable since the venue was large enough for us (the place is large enough to comfortably host a party of 500+ people and the great thing is that it's one party per day so you get the entire place and not have to worry having to share it with other parties). There are not enough words to describe my experience working with the Casa Real team. All I can say is that they are AMAZING, very easy to work with, and are the nicest people to deal with. Even my vendors and their friends have wonderful words to say about them.
Alyssia, Andrew, and Kara were very helpful throughout the planning process. They kept me on the loop on updates on the venue and checking to see if I needed any assistance with other things. Despite having a death in the family a week before the wedding, the entire team was very understanding, sympathetic, and quickly took the initiative in assisting with most of the reception details when I couldn't because I needed to be with my family. They kept insisting on focusing with family because they didn't want me to stress even more. They saved me a bunch of headaches and tears.
Some of my relatives and guests not only raved about the food and how the venue looked, but raved about the staff as well. After the wedding, my Aunt told me her daughter and daughter's bf arrived late after everyone had eaten. There was still food left on the table but it was cold. One of the servers saw her reaching out for the food and quickly stopped her because he had another server go into the kitchen to get a fresh hot plate of food so that they didnt' have to eat the cold leftovers. I had no idea about this till I was told and it gave me the warm fuzzies knowing that the staff really does care for their guests.
I can go on and on about how amazing this place is but will leave it to the rest. Because the wedding is already over, I honestly miss working with the team and getting email updates from them. I'm now trying to convince friends and family to have their weddings or hold other events at Casa Real so I can re-live the experience vicariously through them.

I couldn't be happier with the service and venue that Casa Real provided me for my wedding day. Venue- We got married in December so we had our ceremony on site in the Amber Room. My guests were amazed when they walked in the room and saw the amazing fire place setting the seen. The receptions room was classy and had plenty of room for our guest to be comfortable and not crammed in. Service- The Casa Real staff was AMAZING. There number one concern is customer service and they are so good at what they do. Food- Wow! We chose family style and we couldn't of been happier. The food was to die for.

Casa Real was above and beyond everything we could have wanted in a ceremony cite. The Amber Room was perfectly lit and was the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and vows. During cocktail hour guest were served excellent food (I've been told) and they ate outside where their pictures had an amazing backdrop of the vineyards. At that point we were able to take great photos with family and wedding party in the great scenery in front of and around the grounds. The food was next, and it was served family style. Everyone got a good portion of food, and got great reviews about it all. The rest of the night was full of dancing for hours and hours. So the open bar did its job well too!! Finally at 10ish we got the cheeseburger upgrade, which were delicious!!I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting about, but 5 stars for the whole event.Also, Shannon was a great coordinator for the rehearsal and day of! 5 Stars to her aswell!!
We got married July 25, 2010 at Casa Real. We had both our ceremony and reception there. Our ceremony was in the Amber Room.
The staff at Casa Real offered us so much help and guidance during our wedding planning process, especially on our wedding day. We couldn't have gotten a better venue or coordinator to work with. Everyone at Casa Real is professional, helpful, friendly, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.
Their help on our wedding day made everything run smoothly, allowed everyone, including us, to enjoy themselves, and just made our day what it was. All of our family and friends had nothing but nice things to say about their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly personalities.
We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the staff at Casa Real and to have our wedding day at such a beautiful venue.
Everything was amazing!

Casa Real was the first location we looked at for our wedding reception and after our first meeting with the staff and the tour of the property, no other venues measured up for our big day. The property allows for indoor and outdoor ceremonies so weather will never be an issue. The grounds are beautiful and allow for lots of photo opportunities. You have water fountains to choose from, a beautiful Mediterranean feel, and of course the vineyards. The staff at Casa Real were phenomenal!! They literally thought of and helped plan every little detail to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. They knew when the sun would set and would cast a beautiful glow across the vineyards and kept the doors closed until this little surprise could be reveled. They are so organized that nothing is left to chance. We can honestly say our wedding was PERFECT! If something went wrong, we were never aware of it. The staff will answer any question with grace and professionalism. They are there to ensure you have nothing to worry about on your big day. Thank you Kara and Alyssia!!!! The food…wow, where do we even start! It was out of this world… to put it mildly!!We had over 250 guests at our wedding, and all of them are still raving about how great everything was. Chef Adam made certain that everything was to our liking and even made some special recommendations for our menu. We highly recommend the family-style service. Not only was the food abundant, but it got all of our guests talking and sharing. Casa Real is worth every penny you'll spend on your wedding day and will be the last place you look for a venue in the Livermore area.
GUEST
Casa Real is the best looking venue in the Livermore (Pleasanton) wine country. Our wedding couldn't have been better. The Amber room is gorgeous and the reception area is dreamy especially our first dance at sunset overlooking the vineyard. The wedding coordinator Shannon McGrail was perfect, she knew exactly what to do and did everything in her power to make this special day everything we could have dreamed! Go with Casa Real if you want the most romantic wedding ever!

GUEST
I had my wedding reception at Casa Real on 9/5/09. I'll try to focus on things other people have not said.The place is absolutely beautiful and very functional. We used the amber room for our cocktail hour (in addition to the courtyard), keeping our grand salon a big surprise. Right after we got out of the limo, Andrew opened up the bridal suite for us. Waiting inside was appetizers, champagne and water. The staff also checked in on us from time to time to see if we wanted more appetizers, beer, wine, etc.As others said, the food is excellent, the wait staff is excellent, the event managers are excellent and the location is just beautiful. The venue was also able to accomodate our 360 guest wedding.We were exteremely lucky to book Casa (walked in one day last October/November and somebody cancelled), so if you have the opportunity to have your wedding/reception here, I would recommend it.
GUEST
Absolutely wonderful staff. They are the most helpful people I worked with the entire time planning my wedding. Alyssa was the best coordinator and I couldn't have done it without her. The food was amazing!! Everyone loved it. And, not to mention the gorgeous venue... If you are looking for a place that offers the ceremony, reception, catering and professionalism all in one you have found it with Casa Real. Thank you for making my wedding absolutely beautiful
GUEST

GUEST

GUEST
Amazing venue, and service. If you haven't visited Casa Real, you have to. It is beautiful and well worth the price. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and they really help you make the special day not stressful. Alyssia is a wonderful person to work with, and Clay what can I say, he is a great man. All the details were perfect. And I received many compliments from my guests about the staff and the service.
GUEST
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!! That is the only way to describe the staff of Casa Real. I had zero stress in relation to the wedding, because Casa Real took care of EVERYTHING. I had 350 guests and thought I would need to ask many friends to help with ushering, but CR staff took care of it! I handed everything to them at the rehearsal with specific instructions, and everything was carried out perfectly. I could not have imagined a more supportive staff to help me on the day of my wedding.Leading up to the wedding, Andrew and Kara were with me every step of the way. Sometimes, I would call multiple times a day with random questions/concerns, and they helped me through all of it. They're wedding planners in disguise! Andrew helped us come up with an itinerary for the ceremony and evening and made many other suggestions about when to have certain events or how to do certain things to make all transitions seamless.The food at CR is delicious and their servers are extremely friendly, professional, and quick! Everyone I spoke with that attended the wedding had an absolutely wonderful time. Both my husband's parents and my parents were also happy with the outcome. They had their own worries about crowd control and food, but CR staff helped extinguish those worries.Casa Real was the best place to have my ceremony (Amber Room) and reception!!!
GUEST
We were married at the Casa Real on April 8,2011 and had an amazing experience. Shannon was our day of coordinator and was so friendly and helpful. She was always available to answer questions and provide suggestions. Everyone that we worked with at Casa was friendly and helpful. The venue is gorgeous and we got a ton of compliments our choice to hold the wedding at Casa. If you are looking for a venue that can accommodate your guests, rain or shine, and is willing to make the experience easy, you should book at Casa!
GUEST
Truly a beautiful place. Fireplace in our ceremony room and family style dinner service are just a couple of the nice touches Casa Real added to our wedding experience. Our guests loved every moment, and Casa Real's staff was a joy to work with.
GUEST
Did a wonderful job juggling the needs of a bride with their grand opening
GUEST
Casa Real was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff was always helpful and did a great job on the day of our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone's wedding.
GUEST
Casa Real is a treasure in the heart of the East Bay. We had our ceremony off-site at a church but had we gotten married in the spring-fall timeframe, we would've loved to have our ceremony outside in Casa Real's beautiful sun garden. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. They really do make an effort to make you feel like you're the only wedding that they're concerned with when they're speaking to you. I worked primarily with Alicia, and then Shannon during the day of the wedding and weeks leading up to it. This venue is great for large parties who want to have an intimate feel (they only allow one event per day). The space is very elegant and romantic and doesn't need much dressing up. The staff is super professional and they know how to take care of you and make you feel special. On the day of the wedding, they had champagne and some appetizers ready for the bridal party in the bridal changing room in case we didn't have a chance to eat! Also, the food is magnificent!! Everyone was so shocked at the quality of food (esp. for our large part of 370+!) and still raves about it. Here are the downsides: parking is limited and the basic package only allows you to rent the space for 5 hours (most of the other venues I checked out allowed 6). Also, the event has to end by 10pm on Sundays-Thursdays, and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Overall, awesome venue! We basically revolved our wedding planning (i.e. selecting the church, next available date they had) around making sure we get this place for the reception, but it was WELL worth it.
GUEST
They are great and very responsive. Everyone is friendly and gets back to you very quickly. Always answers questions and very accommodating. The only thing was for some reason my tables were messed up even after giving a diagram and the adults weren't in the front! However everything else was done very well and would definitely recommend them!
GUEST
We fell in love with the venue when we walked through it. All the people were nice and made us feel right at home. The food was fantastic, the scenery was great... everything turned out amazingly. Our wedding coordinator was awesome! Alyssia was super sweet and thought of everything- which meant I didn't have to worry about a thing! Thanks Casa Real! We loved our experience!
One of the most beautiful venues in the East Bay. The main ball room has incredible views of the surrounding vineyards. The Amber room offers a cozy and elegant location for the perfect wedding ceremony, or if you prefer an outdoor ceremony their garden is equally as stunning.
My recent bride held her wedding at the Casa Real and was enthralled by the beauty and presence of venue. It was truly love at first sight because the others could not compare.
Casa Real is a beautiful venue for all types of events. It has stunning views of the vineyard with a warm and elegant interior. The amber room is my favorite. The staff at Casa Real is impeccable and really takes care of their clients to make sure everything is done at it's best. Having been to their tasting event, the food is great too!
