Serra Plaza is a fundraiser and gala venue in San Juan Capistrano designed for nonprofit organizations and donor-focused events. Fundraisers feel different when the setting does the work, and this Spanish Colonial courtyard venue features a beautiful stone fountain, arched loggias, and a luxurious design that sets it apart from a typical hotel setting. The architecture sets the tone before the first speech and creates an atmosphere that donors remember long after the event ends.
Nonprofit fundraisers and charity galas flow naturally through the space: cocktails in the courtyard, a seated dinner under sparkling chandeliers or in the indoor Lounge, and a live auction staged against a backdrop that photographs beautifully for post-event recaps and donor communications. The venue accommodates up to 350 guests with room to breathe, and hosts one event at a time, giving your organization exclusive use of the entire venue so your cause remains the focus from arrival to final bid.
Jay’s Catering provides full-service event catering for nonprofit galas and fundraising events, including plated dinners, passed appetizers, full bar service, and custom menus built around your budget and audience. A third-generation company serving Orange County since 1967, they bring decades of experience supporting successful nonprofit events.
