The Space at Casa de Onda

Costa Mesa · Private Events

Nobody Ever Posted a Photo of a Banquet Hall.

A Tulum inspired restaurant and event venue on Harbor Blvd. Palapa covered dining, fire pit lounges, woven pendant chandeliers and tropical planting, twenty minutes from anywhere in Orange County.

The Space

Venue imagery: Guests dine on the tropical patio at sunset, surrounded by palms, thatched palapas and warm lighting.

The Arrival

Your team walks in and knows immediately this is not the usual thing.

That reaction is the part you cannot put in a proposal, and it is the entire reason people remember the night.

Venue imagery: The Casa de Onda entrance at night, with a palapa-covered host stand, bamboo walls and tropical plants lit in blue and pink.

The Room

Open Air, Warm Light, and Actual Plants.

Close to 300 seats across the property, which is why a group of forty, or a hundred, can have a night that feels like theirs without buying the building.

Venue imagery: Guests gather around the outdoor bar under a thatched palapa and string lights. Tropical plants and a fire feature beside the patio seating. A patio lounge with low tables, woven seating, bamboo fencing and colorful evening lighting. Groups dine at patio tables among woven chairs and tropical planting. Guests socialize around a softly lit patio table beneath a thatched roof. Guests share a meal at a patio table with blue woven chairs.

After Dark

A Room That Is Already Doing the Work.

You are not decorating a blank hall. The light, the palapas and the planting are already here, so whatever budget you were going to spend making a space feel like something goes into the food and the bar instead.

We hold the right part of the property for your group, sized to your headcount, with your own service team on it. Where exactly that lands depends on your date and your night, and it is a fifteen minute conversation standing in the room.

The Table

A Kitchen That Takes the Food Seriously.

We serve groups buffet style on purpose. Everyone eats at the same moment, nobody waits on a plate, and no one picks an entree weeks in advance.

Taco Bar

The casual one. Two proteins, a full toppings station, and a room that eats the moment it walks in.

Casa Dinner

Ahi tuna aguachile and Caesar, then mole braised short rib and seared salmon, finished with bread pudding.

Casa Reserve

Shrimp ceviche and esquites, then seared filet with shrimp scampi and spaghetti chicken verde, finished with churro style brioche.

Or Just Appetizers

For a mixer or a client night where people are meant to circulate rather than sit down.

Every menu includes chips and salsa, unlimited soft drinks, iced tea and coffee · every menu handles vegetarian, vegan and allergies · bring your own celebration cake if you would like

Venue imagery: A plated savory dish garnished with herbs on a blue ceramic plate. Grilled meat and vegetables served with tortillas. A chilled seafood dish garnished with sliced green vegetables. A composed entree with colorful vegetables and sauce. A plated dish finished with a light-colored sauce and fresh garnish. A small dessert topped with a red garnish on a ceramic plate.

Already Here

You Are Not Renting an Empty Room.

Nine 75 inch screens

Screens throughout the bar areas inside and out, plus nine 75 inch screens on wheels we position wherever you need them. Plug in a laptop for award slides, a video or your company logo. Everyone can actually read them.

Sound for your program

Microphones and sound for remarks, awards or a thank you to the team, with the room set so people can hear it. Tell us how long your program runs and we build the timing around it.

Music, your way

We can arrange a DJ through the house, and we are set up to run two at once in different parts of the venue so you are not locked into one genre all night. You are welcome to bring your own instead.

A bar on consumption

Host it by the hour, cap it at a dollar figure, or hand out drink tickets with a value ceiling. You pay for what your team actually drinks rather than a per person guess made months out.

Welcome on the screens

Your company name up on the screens when your group is set in its own area, so people know exactly where they are going the moment they walk in.

Free parking

On site in the structure, complimentary for every guest, and no valet needed. One line item your finance team can delete.

How It Works

Four Steps, No Surprises.

1. Start with a proposal. Date and guest count.
2. Hold the date. A deposit, applied to your bill.
3. Confirm the details. Headcount, menu and bar.
4. Walk in and enjoy. Setup and staffing are ours.

Pricing depends on the night you actually want, so we would rather build it against your date, your headcount and your program than hand you a rate card and hope it fits.

What We Need From You

Your date, a rough headcount, and roughly how the night runs. That is enough for us to come back with real figures instead of a guess.

Venue imagery: Guests dine beneath woven pendant chandeliers and a palapa ceiling illuminated in blue and magenta.
