Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club

Daughter and Son-in-law's wedding at Coto was literally PERFECT. Working with Sarah and Alyssa made the entire experience pleasant and stress-free. The guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and how wonderful the service/food/etc. was. Daughter did a thorough price comparison across ten venues and Coto was very competitive, but SO much nicer. We could not have been happier with the entire experience.

My now husband actually found this venue. He went to the open house on a Saturday as I was working and wanted me to visit as soon as possible because he loved it so much. Despite our desires to not be married at a golf course, this place was nothing like the typical golf course! The entire ceremony and reception were outside and they didn't nickel and dime you for every little thing like we felt most of the other venues we went to did. I loved this venue, and our pictures by the waterfall, by the trees and other areas really made it look like we weren't at a golf club! I loved this venue, and our pictures by the waterfall, by the trees and other areas really made it look like we weren't at a golf club. Of course, if you wanted the golf course look, you could get that too. You could pay for upgrades, and we really wanted the market lights, so we paid for that since we couldn't bring in and hang our own lights (liability issues). We built our own wedding arch for 70$ as the rental price was extremely high (>500$). The winning factor was that they gave us the Sunday pricing on a Saturday which saved us 7K and they gave us 3 dates to pick from. Since we weren't committed to any particular date, this worked really well for us! Sarah and Alyssa, the venue event planners, were extremely helpful leading up to the wedding. I think I emailed them almost everyday in the last 2 weeks before the wedding, and they were always so helpful and prompt in their response. Although these wonderful ladies were there, we were strongly recommended to hire a wedding planner as they weren't able to do our full wedding set up/decorating, and act as our day of coordinators for working with vendors. We originally thought they would be able to do some of this for us, but the night of the wedding they were very helpful to our day of coordinator, a friend who volunteered! We loved the meal options they had and went with the Tequila lime chicken, roasted potatoes and roasted veggies. We got to sample a lot of different dishes and my husband loved their scalloped potatoes, so they nicely gave him the scalloped potatoes on our wedding night and the guests got the roasted potatoes. This stands out in my mind, because it just shows how they were willing to go above and beyond! We brought in our own cake and desserts for a dessert table, but the venue didn't have serving tools for the cake or desserts and we had to bring in our own. I was a bit surprised by this. The venue had a locker room (which was gorgeous and super spacious!) which they gave to my bridal party and I to get ready in. The only downside was the men did not get the locker room for themselves. Overall, great venue and great staff.

If everyone could do their wedding here, I would say do it!! They’re super flexible with what you want, super helpful. They replied super fast and they were open to us seeing this venue from one day to another. We didn’t need to see another venue, it was beautiful. They have amazing views from the moment you get there throughout the wedding it’s just beautiful all around. They have great food and a good selection.

This is truly a hidden gem of Orange County! Such a beautiful location showcasing the hills and open space of Orange County. One great feature of the venue is that it is a package deal and makes it a lot easier when planning. Alyssa and Sarah were great to work with. They were very accommodating and always available leading up to the wedding day ensuring we got everything we wanted. For the day of the wedding, the banquet captain Derek was especially amazing! He made sure throughout the entire night that we were attended to and had enough to eat and drink! Our guests LOVED the venue: the view, delicious food, and the reception area which is great for a wedding anytime of the year! We are so happy that we chose Coto de Caza as our wedding venue!

Loved hosting our wedding at Coto. The entire venue was absolutely gorgeous! From the views, to the ambience, to the staff, everything was exactly what we had expected - perfection. And much of that we owe to Sarah our coordinator who is smart, professional, punctual (my favorite part) and yet so relaxed and calming. Nerves can really get the best of you in high energy situations but Sarah always kept her cool. The Service Captain Derek was also amazing. He was there through the ceremony to the very end making sure everything ran like clockwork. The food at the venue was delicious! The peppercorn filet and Sonoma chicken received delicious reviews from all our guests. The best part of Coto as a venue is that everyone on the staff is genuinely grateful for serving us on our wedding day. Everyone is helpful, asking if there is anything needed, and when there is, its provided instantly. All of the staff, even those not working the event, said hello and congratulations. Made the experience much more pleasurable.

I will FOREVER recommend Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club to every single newly engaged couple I come across! Sarah Placeres and Alyssa Stockler are legitimately the nicest women I have ever met, and the most professional and attentive! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, ran incredibly smoothly, and every single staff member that was there for us for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding was the best!! What! Oh my gosh, I am still on cloud 9 from it all. My husband and I are forever grateful to everyone at Coto, and we will always know we made the best choice in venue. Thank you so much for everything!!

My husband and I got married at Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club on June 10, 2017 and we couldn't be happier with the venue we chose. The entire day was seriously a dream come true and our guests are raving about it! Sarah and her team were amazing throughout the whole planning process and made it so easy for me- they responded quickly, were extremely professional and helped make the planning process less stressful. We are so thankful for everything they did. The food at was amazing too! Our guests were thrilled and so were we, especially when we got seated and had appetizers from cocktail hour waiting for us! The service and the gorgeous view were an absolutely perfect place for our wedding and we highly recommend it!!

Coto is a beautiful outdoor venue that is perfect for an outdoor wedding. The food was very good and the value received was well worth it. I highly recommend this venue.
