Bella Mar is located on the waterfront of Newport Harbor.  This is one of the only venues in Newport Beach on the water and available for Corporate events or Weddings.  The venue can seat up to 170 guests.  What a perfect venue for all events.  Nearby parking is available.  The staff at this venue is professional but willing to work with you to create the event vision you want to produce.

Euromasters Special Events Center is located in Fountain Valley, right off of the 405 freeway.  It has a contemporary atmosphere.  The venue will hold up to 1200 guests.  This venue is versatile and can be arranged to fit any event you bring to the venue.  From small Corporate meetings to large events, Euromasters can assist with your event.

Every time Gourmet Caterers goes out in to the community to visit venues, we find such versatile venues to share with our clients.  Call us today, 949-293-4688, for additional information on any of these venues.

One of the locations we loved was Giracci Winery.  They are located in Silverado Canyon.  This is such a romantic spot to get married.  The venue features a Wine Tasting Room and Oak Tree Court which is located outside the tasting room, and is nestled under oak trees.  This area is large enough for 200 guests.

This venue also would be perfect for a Corporate event such as a picnic or team building event.  The event could start with team building events and finish up with wine Tasting.  Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to spend the day away from the office?

Next we visited the White House Event Center.  It is located in Anaheim and is the perfect venue for large scale events.  They can host up to 800 guests at this venue which also includes the West Wing Room.  The West Wing Room has a more intimate Night Club feel.  

As a bride can you imagine being dropped off in the limo in front of the White House?  What great pictures and memories this would create.  The interiors of both sections of the venue lend themselves to both weddings and corporate events.

Many of our Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties are theme parties. The kids choose a theme – sports, colors, candy whatever, we work around that theme, and decorate our tables in the theme. The room can be decorated by ourselves or a party planner, we work with a lot of other vendors. Menus are chosen around the theme, maybe a few Nationalities, or if red white and green can be Mexican food, or Italian, with a whole menu around pastas, pizza, etc. We have so many ideas to advise a client of what has worked before. We also have a lot of venues that we have worked with before, like the Marconi Car Museum in Tustin, great place to have a Bar Mitzvah. We have done a Bar Mitzvah on a beach, a BBQ, one in a park, one in a gymnasium, so if you are looking for ideas we can surely help.
