Celebrations are so important for families, especially for extended families that have spread out across the country or world. Celebrating a family milestone is a way to create a memory that will be passed down for generations.
Hosting a family milestone party can be stressful, but here are some tips that will make putting together this celebration for your loved ones a joy with limited stress.
Select a Banquet Hall
By selecting an event center like Villa Ragusa most of your work is already done. Our rooms can be custom sized to fit your event, so no worries about putting together a comfortable space. We can fit in as few as 100 people up to 800.
The food? We have it handled. You will be working with our event coordinator to put together a beautiful dining experience that fits your budget and dietary preferences. You can also use your own caterer should you prefer to work with someone’s menu you already know and love. This option does need to be planned in advance, so contact us right away for the details on how this works.
Most of the weight and stress of the event is already put on Villa Ragusa. We take care of sizing the room to comfortable fit your number of guests, set it up with tables and chairs, prepare the menu and do all the cooking and beverages. We can even arrange for the clean up.

Villa Ragusa is conveniently located in downtown Campbell, CA. There is plenty of parking onsite and nearby to accommodate all your guests.

An Impressive Space for Employee or Client Occasion
From the moment you walk into Villa Ragusa you’ll be impressed with the old world designed décor. Your event’s guests will be greeted with a finely appointed mahogany and marble grand staircase that will lead them up to the event area.
The space has a wall of glass sliding doors and lofty sheer drapes that gently sweep in the warm breeze. Outside these doors is the balcony. When it’s time to quietly network, the small tables and chairs allow for a more private conversation during the event.

We can handle everything from apéritif to fine dining and scrumptious desserts. Our in house catering can usually handle all of your required dinner and luncheon entrées.

Banquet Hall, Conference Center, Corporate meetings, Team Building
It appears the best and quickest way to downsize is to tell your remote workers they must return to the office. Some or all of those remote workers will quit within a couple months. If you are trying to downsize, goal achieved.
But! If you don’t want to lose all those highly trained workers there are better ways to handle remote disconnect.
Keep Your Team a Team
The fear that your employees are just screwing off and going shopping without ever working probably isn’t valid. This issue – either realized or imagined – does have a solution.
Team Building Events
Team building exercises don’t have to be off in some desert in a foreign country. It doesn’t have to involve silly games that make their eyes roll when they hear what they have to do.
Have an event that’s fun and engaging – for real this time.
Your employees will naturally gravitate toward each other, work together and create bonds that might last a lifetime. This is human nature, providing they’re happy with their work and how their company treats them. The silly games aren’t necessary to build a solid team. It’ll build itself.
Gather the Herd
Delight your employees. Instead of recalling them to corporate or putting spy software on their computers to make certain they are working – just have an event.
Have an event that involves music, dancing, and fine dining. It is all they need to get to know their fellow workers in person. They’ll socialize and get to know each other. They’ll quickly discover who is who and how they can use their services at work. Teams will be built without anyone having to outline anything. Call it a Mocktail Party.
Villa Ragusa can put together an elegant space with highend dining for your company to try a Mocktail Party. It’ll give your remote workers something fun to do, allow them to all meet each other, network, connect and build their own natural teams for work. Without ever having to step a foot into “work.”
This builds a solid company with very happy employees.

Nothing makes a buyer happier than being invited to an intimate, exclusive event. They can hobnob with the corporate elite and see what’s new, all in one luxury weekend. Villa Ragusa can help you make your customers feel like kings.
Location, Location, Location
Las Vegas is so overdone and it isn’t the luxury location it once was in its heyday. And well, there is too much going on there to fit into a weekend, so your buyers are going to miss most of your event.
Villa Ragusa is a top tier event center located in Campbell, California, a city in the heart of Silicon Valley. Which is exactly where your buyers would love to be to keep their finger on the pulse of what’s happening.
Draw Them in with Top Keynote Speakers
Aside from a fabulous location, the speakers are who are going to draw them in. If you can get a top Silicon Valley tech speaker with name recognition, it’ll do a lot in getting your buyers into a seat at your product launch. The keynote address doesn’t have to have much to do with what they are buying from you.
If a tech guru isn’t possible, there are hundreds of top name comedians who will book a corporate gig. There are plenty of actors who will, too. Just contact their agents or publicists.
Wine, Dine and Give Awards
This event it all about your buyers, so give them a first class weekend they will always remember. They’ll show their loyalty by increasing your sales.
- Have a 5-star dining experience.
- Pull out the dance floor after dinner.
- Offer a brunch on the second day before the day’s events.
Keep It Under 800 Guests
You’ll need a few hundred guests to keep them busy networking, talking business and participating in the event. Have a break away lounge area for quiet conversations away from the main room. Ensure there is enough staff to cater to your crowd to keep their top-tier event on track.
We are here at Villa Ragusa to help you plan and host an unforgettable product launch. When you choose our event center you’ll access to inside catering, but we also allow outside catering. Give us a call.

You have a lot to get through when planning your wedding, so here is a helpful list for your shopping needs.
Where to Purchase Guest Mementos
These days most people go to Amazon to buy as cheaply as possible. But if knockoff Chinese imports are not the theme you want to go with, here are some other ideas that will add a touch of class and uniqueness to your wedding reception.
1. Etsy.
Yes, Etsy is still out and it is packed with home crafters and sellers who have the most unique ideas for your wedding. They are typically handcrafted with love, although you can find sellers that are importers, as well. But most couples love the unique craftsmanship of the Etsy artisans.
2. Moo.
Sure, you could go traditional on your wedding reception invitations, but why where you can do the world is your oyster thing, right? Moo is a printer that lets you be you. While Moo definitely isn’t a cheap option, they are far less expensive than traditional wedding invitation printers and they are a much higher quality. Plus you get to be totally unique.
3. Graphic Designer.
Unless you’re a professional graphic designer, never try to design your banners, social posts , labels or invitations yourself. This is your wedding and you want it to be magical. This graphic designer does absolutely amazing work and he is extremely affordable.
4. Baskits.
Guests gifts don’t have to be boring. They can be amazing. Baskits is one company that does luxury corporate gifts.

Beautiful Setting – Amazing Architecture
Villa Ragusa has its own old world style that takes to back to a time where beauty in architecture mattered most. The lobby is built with a focus on limestone, marble and mahogany and features a long, curved staircase.
Was it your dream to ascend a winding grand staircase to meet your wedding guests? We built our lobby just for you.
Villa Ragusa’s location was originally a bank. We kept those classic European stylings of natural stone and beautiful dark wood accents in our remodel, because we know our guests want more than just a location for an event. They want to have THE location for their event!
If your event is your wedding reception, you have found the right place. A spectacular space!
Our lobby is on the first floor. Our resizable event spaces are upstairs on the second floor. We chose to have spaces upstairs so you can enjoy the beautiful, elevated view of Campbell during your event.
The balconies are available in every event space. There is an entire wall lined with ceiling to floor windows and gently flowing sheer drapes that move with the breeze, when access doors are open to the outside. This is the absolutely perfect setting for a wedding reception.
The small balcony tables allow guests to take a break after dancing to catch their breath out in the fresh air while socializing with a friend or two. Once rested they can get right back to the celebration by stepping back into the room.
Superior Service
You’ll find you’re in excellent hands from the time you make your first call to inquire about a space to after the wedding reception. You are our priority. We’ll help you with planning your space and make sure you have everything you need to have a joyous, handsfree celebration.
