Weddings and Events
Golden tones of light are cast upon birds of paradise and swaying palms. The sun starts to dip toward the horizon and it creates an array of colors that cascade across the sky. The click of the camera and roar of applause capture the moment of unity shared at Southern California’s exquisite blufftop estate.
Casa Romantica is true to the California lifestyle in providing an indoor/outdoor space to entertain your guests and give you a day to remember. Michele Bogdanoff, Casa Romantica’s Wedding Director says it perfectly, “Casa Romantica allows you and your guests to enjoy every moment of your big day in the privacy and beauty of the enchanting house and gardens. It is impressive to have the entire estate to yourself and your guests. There is no other place that can compare.”
Below are our top ten reasons to book your wedding at Casa Romantica:
Superb Architecture
Walk into our enchanting space by stepping through our keyhole door and into the original Ole Hanson home. The restored estate features a unique architecture that was influenced by the Spanish Colonial Revival and features a carved wooden trellis, encaustic tile that was customized-designed for the home, oak floors that have just been restored, and two large fireplaces that provide excellent ambiance.
Lush Gardens
You and your guests will have access to our gardens on the property that feature many unique and diverse plants. There are cacti of all different species including barrel, prickly pear, and senita. We also have a butterfly garden that has many different species, monarch butterflies being seen most frequently.
President Circle Membership
When choosing to host your wedding at Casa Romantica, you will also be able to take advantage of our President Circle Membership. This membership is included in your site fee and good for one year to experience the Cultural Events and Programs that are held at the Casa. Some benefits include tickets to events such as classical concerts or dance performances, daily admission to the ground to come and relax, and is also a way to help the arts (you are able to write this off on your taxes).
Magnificent Ocean Views
The views at Casa Romantica are panoramic. Look at endless ocean waves crashing below on the shore and surfers paddling out. You’ll be able to experience this view of San Clemente, Dana Point, T-Street Beach and the pier. Even when the sun disappears you’ll still be able to hear the sounds of the waves and the water moving in the moonlight.
Home Environment
Casa Romantica was once a home to many different families and it continues to be a place for people to be enriched with love and togetherness. Wedding ceremonies and celebrations at the Casa add warmth to the home and will give you the feeling of comfort.
Prime Location
San Clemente is 60 miles from San Diego and 60 miles from LA. Our location is the perfect compromise for couples who have guests that may be traveling from major airports or surrounding areas. Just hop in the car (or get on the train) and it’s quick and it’s a quick trip from on the “5” to coastal streets.
Onsite Bridal Rooms
We have a bridal suite and groom’s room to accommodate you and your party for getting ready for your big day. Natural light shines through the windows and makes for great “getting ready” photos. Being able to start the day off right and knowing you’re already there will make for a stress-free start.
Destination – San Clemente
San Clemente is a beach town that feels like a small town with some of the best food and shopping in South Orange County. It’s full of life and great for all. You will have a blast spending your time here and your guests won’t get over how picturesque it is. To see more the city has to offer read the Top 7 Things to Do in San Clemente.
