About this vendor
Casablanca: A Right Start Venue is a wedding venue located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

The owner has more than ten years of experience as a wedding photographer and opened this event space to make use of their knowledge and expertise. The intimate size of the venue allows them to fully personalize every couples’ experience and provide each with excellent customer service. This friendly and cheerful team values family above all else and is excited to welcome couples and their families, chosen and otherwise, into the space.
Facilities and Capacity
Casablanca: A Right Start Venue combines beautiful Moroccan accents with the airy and industrial atmosphere of the space. Accommodating up to 70 people, this venue is best for couples who desire a small wedding. The blank canvas design allows couples to customize the colors and decorations of the big day so that each wedding is unique. The ceremony and reception space is filled with natural light from its many windows and is peppered with exposed beams. White brick walls and a stripped bulb chandelier add to this retro and romantic ambiance. Care has been given to every touch, from the reclaimed wood tables to the curated dishware and cutlery, providing for a charming and personalized feel.

A number of packages are available for couples to choose between, from a quick ceremony to a full sit-down dinner. The Ceremony Package comes with a 90 minute rental of the facility, a basic backdrop and chairs, a champagne toast, and more. This package is best for couples who want a simple ceremony without frills and accommodates up to 25 people. The team is happy to recommend local restaurants where the wedding party can dine out afterward. For those who’d like more time to celebrate, the Simple Package includes three hours, a bartender, and cold appetizers.
The Buffet Dinner combines all of these services, plus stationed appetizers and a great selection of buffet dinner options. Great for those foodies out there looking for a non-stops to delicious town.

Casablanca was such a great and affordable option! Their packages are extremely reasonable and they offer so much within them. The actual venue is super cute and the team was very ...
easy to work with. I definitely recommend to anyone that’s feeling overwhelmed with the wedding process- they made it stress-free for me!
Casablanca is a beautiful venue! My wedding felt very intimate with all the beautiful candle lighting! Staff were amazing! Bridal suite is stunning!!
We hosted our wedding at Casablana, because it was uniquely perfect for our modern, industrial vision. The space has this incredible blend of industrial charm and historical charac...
ter — exposed brick walls, high ceilings, steel beams, and stunning factory-style windows that flood the rooms with natural light.
Our reception setting was beautiful! The combination of warm lighting, vintage decor, and elegant details gave the evening such a cozy yet sophisticated feel. It truly captured that “city romance” vibe we were hoping for. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the atmosphere and vibe.
The venue owner Matt, went above and beyond to make our day amazing. Throughout the entire planning process Matt, was professional, kind, responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our day special. From our very first visit, it was clear how passionate and hands-on he is about the venue. A huge thank you to the venue coordinator. She was warm, thoughtful, and ensured everything ran smoothly and that we didn’t want or need anything. If you are looking for a venue that’s rich in history, beauty, character and heart, Casablanca in Coatesville is a gem.
When my husband and I first got engaged, we already had the vision of a beautiful wedding, but we wanted something with the people closest to us, that would not explode and exceed ...
our budget. The most important thing for me was to find a place that I liked but that I didn't have to worry about absolutely anything. Casa Blanca exceeded all my expectations, there was literally nothing to worry about. My husband and I had separated the place without even seeing it in person, just by seeing it on the internet we knew it was the place where we were going to get married and that's exactly how it was. The owner Matt and also organizer of my wedding was very professional and attentive to every request, his work team was also very professional, affectionate and made me feel like the most beautiful bride! I would recommend this place with my eyes closed. My wedding was more than I dreamed of! The place is small, beautiful, cozy PERFECT For a beautiful micro wedding and full of many emotions. Casa Blanca was my perfect place to say; yes forever!
Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! All the details and behind the scenes attention really meant the world to us. We had a blast at our 09/13/25 wedding and wish we ...
could relive the night over and over! Thanks Matt & Team!
Casablanca is a great venue if you have a smaller guest count, we had about 45 people. There are multiple packages and a lot is included from the venue like decor and a cake. We l...
oved that we were able to bring in our own catering because we wanted to use Couch Tomato in West Chester. The day of team was great and everything ran smoothly and the place looked beautiful.
My only notes would be that I wish there was a detailed pdf document they would provide with all of the choices you need to make. We met with Matt, the owner, about 2 months before our wedding to make decisions, but I wish I had known fully what was available to me ahead of this meeting. I provided some serving dishes for our cocktail hour, but the day before found out they had some stuff we could have used. It just would have been nice leading up to the wedding to be able to slowly buy stuff, or not buy stuff, knowing what the venue already had that we could use or not. Even like, here are the silverware options, the color table cloth options. Just to be able to see and visualize that before the 2 month mark would have been nice.
The other thing was our wedding was in August, and even though the weather was quite nice for August (low 80s), it was still pretty warm in the building. Specifically the hallway area where people are hanging out during cocktail hour. We had guests taking the elevator down to step outside and get fresh air because it felt better outside than it did inside. The venue space itself is better, but once the dancing started, it warmed up a lot. So if you’re planning a summer wedding, just think about that!
Overall, it was a great venue for what we wanted. Small guest count, option to bring in your own caterer, a decent amount of stuff already included (decor, cake, credit for florist, champagne toast).
We had the most incredible experience with Casa Blanca for our pop-up wedding! From start to finish, the team made everything effortless and stress-free. The space was beautifully ...
set up when we arrived—every detail was perfectly arranged and it perfectly matched our vision.
The staff was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day special. They coordinated everything seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. We loved how intimate, romantic atmosphere and how unique the pop-up wedding concept was.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-organized, and truly memorable wedding experience without the stress of planning every detail yourself, I can’t recommend Casa Blanca enough. They helped make our day magical and unforgettable!

ca just makes your day so tailored to you in an intimate beautiful setting. My pictures were taken by Matt, the owner, and the photos are gorgeous. If I had to do it all over, I would pick Casablanca again for our special day! I had 45 guest comfortably, the industrial rustic look was loved by everyone, and Matt of course knows his own venue inside and out for the perfect pictures. Casablanca has flexible packaging that is accommodating for every budget! I had a day that I loved that felt special to what me and my husband wanted without having to break the bank! Can’t recommend this venue enough.
We absolutely loved our experience at Casablanca! We wanted a smaller wedding and it was the venue of our dreams for just that! The team was so helpful and amazing- truly made our ...
day seamless! We would highly recommend this venue. I also loved how it was more unique than any other venue we looked at. Also- our dogs were able to be a part of our whole ceremony :)

d. I contacted Matt from Casablanca on a Friday and asked if there was any possible chance to do our wedding the following Friday! Matt and his team took on this challenge and made our special day more than we could’ve ever imagined! Casablanca has a special place in all of our hearts. The vendors Matt recommended were outstanding! The Dj, the caterer and most importantly the photographer… which is Matt the owner! Our pictures came out so beautiful! I’m in love with how everything turned out. The decor was breathtaking! We really couldn’t have been blessed with a better place to get married. I highly recommend celebrating your special day at Casablanca!

ere essential to making our event a truly magical night for ourselves and our guests, from concept to execution. We planned our event remotely from another state, which is a tricky thing to do, but Matt was flexible and ready to coordinate from afar. He was always responsive and understanding. The pricing is fantastic considering the space itself is beautiful AND you are receiving support from him and his staff the day of. I had a very specific style and DIY decor elements for the tables, but Matt's assistants honed in on this right away. Big shoutout to Ivy, who put all of those elements together just how I'd envisioned it, and to Jess whose enthusiasm and excitement was contagious. I highly recommend Casablanca for your next event!

nningly beautiful, but it also offers a level of service that makes wedding planning a breeze.
From the moment we first stepped into this gorgeous space, we knew it was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. The attention to detail is second to none, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our big day was perfect.
Planning a wedding can be a stressful process, but Casabalanca made it all so smooth and easy. The staff was always available to answer our questions and offer their expert advice on everything from catering to decor.
On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The room looked absolutely stunning, with beautiful floral arrangements and industrial table settings that perfectly captured the vibe we were going for. The food was absolutely delicious and expertly prepared, and the staff ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Overall, we cannot recommend Casablanca highly enough. The level of service, attention to detail, and sheer beauty of the place are truly unparalleled. If you're looking for a stress-free wedding planning experience and a magical venue for your big day, this is the place to be!
I hosted a bridal shower here for my best friend and I could not recommend it anymore. From touring the beautiful place to the day of the event everything went so smoothly and its ...
all because of their wonderful team. When I first toured the venue I thought it was beautiful but when I filled the space with my flowers and saw my vision come to life I fell in love with the place. I look forward to hosting more events here in the future. I love that theres plenty of space and the windows bring in so much natural light its amazing. It's truly a hidden gem. I am so grateful for all of their teams help for their guidance in planning the event and also helping me the day of. Highly recommend this gem.
Casablanca is an absolute dream venue. Our special day took place on December 10, 2022 and it was amazing. The planning process was seamless with Casablanca, they literally had it ...
all covered from the moment we started planning. The staff was prompt, polite and truly amazing. They took care of everything possible. Our day included a ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at Casablanca. That is the best part about the space... you can do it all in one space, making the entire day comfortable for your guests and yourself. The blank canvas style of the space allows you to give your special twist to the space. We had a simple holiday themed wedding and Casablanca executed our vision and dream superbly. They have beautiful decor you can use and the vendors they provided were awesome as well. Flowers, food and more were superb. We truly could not have asked for a better venue and event. Our wedding had 70 guests and Casablanca handled the size impeccably. We never had a single worry the entire day. The staff took care of everything and made sure we throughly enjoyed our wedding. I would recommend Casablanca time and time again and they truly know how to plan and execute a wedding in their gorgeous space.
This venue was just opening up as I was looking for a venue for our wedding. I loved the vibe of the exposed brick. Our wedding coordinator, Julia, was amazing!!
I had my daughters wedding at Casablanca in October 2022. It was absolutely the best decision we made that year! The venue and staff from day 1 were very attentive to questions I h...
ad, planning details and making my daughters day a true magical day. Matt @ Casablanca is a gem... He put my worries at ease with his team who came along side of us and helped with every little detail. It was the best experience. The venue is beautiful and perfect for a smaller scale wedding. We loved the rustic yet charm about Casablanca. The bridal suite was gorgeous , and i must say all the rooms connected perfectly. We hired the stemsend for flowers which were the most beautiful arrangements I ever saw and Doe Run Catering was tasty and flavorful. If your looking for a magical place to hold any kind of event, Casablanca is the place to go. I will forever be blessed from the team @ Casablanca for all they did.
You know how people say their wedding was the best night of their lives and you look at them somewhat skeptically because weddings are typically high-stress and flawed events that ...
married couples remember fondly just because it’s kind of a societal expectation? Well, Casablanca is the real deal! It’s an intimate venue with gorgeous, exposed brick tucked away outside of Philly. My wedding night there was the most perfect event - people still rave about it nearly 3 months later.
I wouldn’t have changed *anything* about the most perfect night of our lives. The Casablanca team is friendly, punctual, and professional. Leading up to the event, they were communicative and helpful. Leading up to the big day, they issued reminders and remained flexible in the midst of changes. During the big event, I had a stress-free, magical night. They ensured that I was well fed and kept drinks in my hands. Dinner was delicious, and the cake turned out exactly the way we imagined it. The table settings were just flawless. After the event, they sent the most beautiful photos of our night, and it was truly special to review them with friends and family during a follow up event (which is something I wouldn’t have thought of had Casablanca not suggested it to me). I wanted the feeling that I had when I was in their care to last forever. I cannot recommend this place enough. As I am typing this, I am reliving that day, and I am truly fortunate to have had a team that sweat the small stuff so that my day would be absolutely perfect.
If you are hesitant, ask them to connect you with me. I forward to returning for our ten-year anniversary. Absolutely. Freaking. Perfect.
Casablanca was the perfect venue to host our smaller (60 person) wedding! The all inclusive nature of their packages and experienced staff were so helpful in streamlining our weddi...
ng planning process. The venue provides a beautiful, highly customizable space which really allowed us to design the perfect aesthetic for our wedding day. The day of coordinators made sure the whole evening ran smoothly and took all stress off of us. We highly recommend the Casablanca Team to any couple looking for a unique venue for their intimate wedding.
If you're thinking about choosing Casablanca as your wedding venue - stop thinking and do it now! We had the absolute best experience from start to finish with Casablanca's staff. ...
They were friendly, incredibly responsive, and helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. My husband and I decided early on in our wedding planning that we wanted a smaller, less traditional wedding and Casablanca was able to execute our vision perfectly. Many of our guests told us that Casablanca was the prettiest wedding venue they've ever seen and that our wedding was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. Having a small wedding (40 guests) was the best choice we could have made. We spent more time enjoying the day/night and less time catching up with people. I also highly recommend using Casablanca's recommended vendors - Doe Run Catering, Silver Sound DJ's (John Cicala), and The Stem's End were all amazing to work with and also played a huge factor in helping make our day perfect. I really can't recommend Casablanca enough - they helped us make memories that will last a lifetime.
