Croatian American Cultural Center

We always love coming here! The yearly summer extravaganza is the highlight of our summer. We will be getting married here in October 2024 and cannot wait!

We have been here many, many times for events. Our most recent visit was Sunday evening of the St. Vincent de Paul Top Hat Dinner at the beginning of December. The grounds are beautiful. The inside area is also very nice and always beautifully decorated. In December there is a large decorated Christmas tree. Table linens, place settings and centerpieces are always nice.There is a separate room with a full bar and room along the two sides of wall where the appetizers are usually set up before dinner. There has always been a buffet for events we have attended. The food has always been delicious. Usually a carving station at the end. Desserts are served later in the same area.

My daughter's wedding was held on Mother's Day Eve at this hidden oasis in a rather unlikely neighborhood.It was perfect! I am very hard to please, as is our daughter, and she said it was the best weekend of her life.Head honcho Mike Zupan patiently handled all of our special requests and allowed us to decorate the stage to our specifications. Thanks for the use of the ladder, Mike!The grounds were immaculate, including newly painted railings that we requested.Mike coordinated everything. And, by the way, the grass was freshly cut!The staff was efficient, friendly, gracious and extremely helpful.The food was excellent and the salmon indeed was wild! We are still eating the leftovers that the staff carefully packaged up for us at the end of a long and joyous day.I cannot thank the staff enough or recommend this venue any higher. I will be grateful forever.

My old classmate from college recently got married here. Trying to find this place was a bit hard since it was tucked away from the main street. But after busting U turns and figuring out everyone else getting lost I was able to get the center safely and in one piece. One thing I hate about Sacramento is the heat. Dammit all I don't know how anyone can stand that temperature. Just a side note, if you're planning on having an outdoor wedding, try to schedule it a past noon so the temperature isn't too hot and the sun wouldn't be directly on top of everyone during the service. Aside from all that, the venue was nice. Large dinning area and super awesome bar. The bathrooms were easily accessible and the dance floor was spacious. The food was alright. I liked the fruits and seafood items. The bread and spreads were to die for (pls don't tell my personal trainer... lol). Overall the place was clean, well kept, spacious, and lovely for a wedding venue.

This venue is located off Watt and Auburn. The street around does not look the greatest but definitely a hidden gem for large functions. Grounds and facility are well kept. We have gone to other weddings and events here. Mike is the facility manager and he is the one that will coordinate activities and with catering available in house. He can be a challenge to work with. Examples of challenges include scheduling first visit, scheduling to taste menu items, getting a suggested beverage count list, and instructions for payments.Aside from minor challenges, this is an excellent place to hold your event. Activities can be held indoor, outdoor or both. Linens, chairs, andStaff is well coordinated and understand the events being held. Catering operates as separate business but is in house. You may be able to opt for your own choice but the In house catering is delicious. Amount of food is appropriate for the count of people provided. There are plenty of food options to choose from for your event. Staff can accommodate to most dietary or allergen restrictions. Linens, chairs, centerpieces, projector, and cake stands are offered if needed at no additional charge. One can always bring some of their personal items for decorations. Food is delicious. One can opt for a bartender. Alcohol beverages are not provided which allows interested people to save money and buy on own. We saved because we didn't pay for beverages that were not consumed. You take home what isn't finished. Soda, water, tea, coffee, and juice are at no additional cost.Outdoor grounds offer picture spots and place to hold wedding ceremony. Indoor offers dance floor lighting and the likes. My wedding was held here. Place allowed for a lot of room physically and financially. Staff was well coordinated and friendly. We would recommend.

Very Nice event space with lots of parking. We came here for a family wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Tables set up inside and the bar area perfect the whole night and with the caterers and Dj entertaining the night AWSOME! The wedding set was outdoor with the chairs lined up on a sunny day. I do recommend this place for any event like birthdays, graduations, and more family weddings here please. Visit this facility to book your next event.

We just had the wedding this past Saturday and it was beyond amazing! I was nervous about everything, crossing the T's/dotting the I's but Mike Zupan made sure everything was squared away.The staff there were the sweetest, most helpful, friendly people I've ever met! The bartenders were amazing, the food was flippin delicious, and the place is so gorgeous. I had so many guests tell me how it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to. This seriously is thee best most affordable venue out there! It's tucked away and the kids were able to play on the lawn without the adults being worried of them running into the street or random strangers. It was so private, intimate, gorgeous....I really could go on and on. It was a lot of stress planning a wedding alone but if I could do it all over again to have it here I would.

Had my wedding here in 2015 was amazing my family still talking to this day about the amazing food

I went to the Croatian Extravaganza and had the time of my life. The people taking payments at the front of the gate gave me all the info with such enthusiasm and seemed grateful for my presence. What a great start. The people issuing tickets were patient with my questions despite the long line behind me. When I ordered food and beverages I was extended the same grace. The food was AMAZING, especially the meat. I got the trio platter and cleared my entire plate. The potato salad was the best I've ever had. The MC did a wonderful job of maintaining enthusiasm and gratitude for everyone involved. The performances were fun to watch and I very much appreciated the Croatian national anthem. It was one of the best days I've had in a while. I can't wait to go back next June.

not gonna write a large review just some key aspect, trashed up place, bunch of roaches place looks old over all nothing good I can say. Terrible experience bunch of cockroaches got food poisoning. All I can say, I'm opening a claim at this place!
