Villa Ragusa is happy to share the fact that we give discounts when you book during our slow times. We have no reason to hide this fact. If you choose those dates, you’ll rent them and we won’t run the risk of having no one in that space for this slow time on the calendar.
How to Get An Event Space Cheaper
Our busiest seasons are the wedding seasons in the spring and early summer and November and December which are booked tightly for private holiday parties and company parties for the winter holidays. It is during these times that our spaces go for a premium price.
Get Room Discounts
If you want to book the spaces at Villa Ragusa at a better price, you need to use our slow times to book your event. So, plan your event for a Wednesday & Thursday, instead of Saturday and Sunday. You’ll save quite a bit!
Catering Choices
Villa Ragusa has a full time kitchen that creates the meals for events held in our building. We do allow outside catering, as well, should you want to use your own favorite caterer. However, you’ll probably get a much better deal by using our in-house catering and the food will still be flavorful, delightfully appealing, and well-presented.
Go Cozy Not Spacious
Not only is a smaller room going to cost less than a big room, but you’ll have a better outcome if people are close together. When there is a lot of empty space in the room your guests will keep to themselves and not socialize. When there is very little empty space your guests will talk to others, participate more, and have a wonderful time. So, understand not everyone is going to show up and pick a room that’s a little smaller than you think you need.
We are Happy to Assist
When it is time to book a room for your event, give us a call and discuss it. We sometimes have rooms available right away. Contact us today and we’ll give you some tips on booking your event with a lower cost.
Company Party, Event Planning, Event Venue, Social Hall
Everyone wants to throw the party that the guests will remember for a lifetime! One of the best ways to be that party host is to make sure there are plenty of fun things to do and great entertainment at your event.
Make Your Party Memorable
Of course, the best way to have a party that no one would forget is to have a very famous celebrity show up and party all night long with your guests. Most people aren’t able to provide such a person, so here’s are some ideas that don’t require having Brad Pitt as your best buddy.
Fortune Teller
Fortune tellers have been popular for ages. A person’s curiosity for what may come is endless, so everyone wants their fortune told. Maybe it’s for real! Maybe it is just for fun. But we all want to believe all the good things they hear will come to pass.
A Game of Charades
The funny thing about Charades is that is just as fun to watch people play it as it is to play it yourself! So, even if only 20 people want to play it is still fun for everyone!
Live Music
Most people expect your party to have music. You can hire a local tribute band or just a talented DJ. Villa Ragusa can provide a dance floor if you’re planning on dancing.
Famous Character Entertainers
It goes without saying that your son’s birthday party would be a huge hit if Spiderman showed up! And everyone would squeal with delight if Captain Jack Sparrow stumbled in after a little too much rum.

Provide Transportation Ease
Skip rideshare scramble by organizing group shuttles between San Jose International Airport, nearby hotels, and your Campbell event venue.
One less travel stressor keeps everyone relaxed before stepping into your event space to impress. Consider extending shuttle access across Downtown Campbell’s vibrant bar district scene as well so guests skip driving risks mingling after hours.
Confirm Allergy/Dietary Needs
Email guests for any food allergy and restriction details weeks prior, then supply our caterers with consolidated guest requirements spreadsheets they can continually reference to prevent any reactions.
Keep additional EpiPens for undisclosed needs. Showing this level of dietary diligence wins major points. It is such a level of attention to detail in the organization that tells guests you have thought of everything. They also realize that they’re in safe hands with your business.
Supply Multiple Charging Stations
With a heavy camera, texting, and social media usage expected, install charging lockers around the event space so depleted phone batteries never thwart capturing memorable moments. Tabletop power strips also encourage continual usage without worrying about dying mobile tools.
By encircling attendees in five-star comfort every step, your guests center focus stays on your event’s core purpose without real-world intrusions. Wowing clients with Villa Ragusa’s grandeur is step one – now exceed expectations through customized hospitality excellence reflecting your brand panache!

A party is the gel that holds people with a common interest together.
Sometimes, we can run out of ideas to entertain our friends or workmates. But, have you tried a tropical Luau? No? Then you have not experienced the best of what tropical parties have to offer. A tropical Luau-themed party is literally an escape to a tropical paradise, and brings the vibrant and laid-back spirit of the Hawaiian Islands to California.
What’s a Tropical Luau?
A Tropical Luau is a festive and colorful Hawaiian-themed party that celebrates the culture, cuisine, and spirit of the islands. It’s all about embracing the aloha spirit, which means love, peace, and compassion while enjoying delicious food, drinks, and lively entertainment.
How You Host a Successful Tropical Luau
First, set the tone for your Luau with creative invitations featuring Hawaiian motifs and vibrant colors. Then encourage guests to dress in Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and leis. You can even provide leis as party favors.
Remember to transform the venue with tropical decorations, including tiki torches, palm fronds, and colorful flowers. The devil is in the details, and our event organizer can help you with it.
And since the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, serve delicious Hawaiian dishes such as kalua pork, poke bowls, and tropical fruit platters. Talk to us about the perfect island Cuisine or signature tropical cocktails like Mai Tais, Piña Coladas, or non-alcoholic versions for everyone to enjoy.
For live entertainment, you can hire hula dancers, fire performers, or a ukulele player to entertain your guests and immerse them in Hawaiian culture. Play Hawaiian music and upbeat tunes to keep the party going. Music soothes the soul.
Also, it’s a great idea to set up a photo booth with props like flower crowns and surfboards, so guests can capture the Luau memories. It’s the cherry on top of a successful tropical-themed party.
Why Host a Tropical Luau at Villa Ragusa?
Our venue offers the flexibility to create a tropical paradise indoors, allowing you to plan your Luau regardless of the weather. Also, you can enjoy authentic Hawaiian cuisine or customizable catering options, ensuring your guests savor the flavors of the islands. We allow you to bring your own caterer if you so desire.

In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it’s no surprise that it’s also transforming the way we tell stories.
Storytelling has been a timeless way through which generations connect and pass down their wisdom to the coming generations.
So, here’s an idea. Why don’t you gather as an extended family and create unforgettable bonding experiences through storytelling using interactive tech? Technology is here with us and we might as well embrace it to strengthen the bonds between us.
The Modern Twist on Storytelling
Traditionally, storytelling has been a cherished activity passed down through generations, fostering connections and igniting imaginations.
With the advent of interactive technology, the art of storytelling has taken on a new dimension, which allows families to embark on immersive adventures that engage all the senses.
Imagine a child’s wonder as they see their favorite storybook character come to life through augmented reality. A tech-powered storytelling event can leverage the power of AR to animate characters, enabling kids to interact with them.
This experience not only sparks joy and curiosity but also encourages them to actively participate in the narrative. It also helps develop their social skills in such a gathering.
Empowering Young Storytellers
Interactive tech doesn’t just entertain. It empowers young storytellers. Through apps and software, kids can create their own stories, adding text, images, and even their voices. They can express themselves in the event and actually feel they’re appreciated.
Bridging Generations
Such an event can bridge the generation gap by merging the traditional art of storytelling with modern technology.
Grandparents can recount tales from their childhood while interactive apps and devices make the stories come alive in a way that resonates with younger family members. This shared experience creates precious memories and strengthens family bonds.
A New Chapter in Family Storytelling
A tech-powered storytelling event celebrates the magic of storytelling while embracing the possibilities of interactive tech. Families come together to rediscover classic tales through digital lenses, explore new narratives that engage their senses, and even craft their own stories using innovative tools.
