“Fairview Metropolitan was the perfect venue for my daughter’s 18th birthday celebration. From the very beginning, Angela Muse, Senior Director of Wedding & Events, guided us with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. She walked us through every detail, offered thoughtful suggestions, and stayed fully engaged all the way to the night of the event. On the day itself, Angela and DJ Andrew truly saved the day. We were running an hour behind schedule, but they kept everything moving smoothly and made sure our guests were welcomed and entertained. Because of them, the party flowed beautifully and no one even noticed the delay. Our guests had a wonderful time, and most importantly, my daughter was overjoyed with how her celebration turned out. The venue was beautiful, the service was outstanding, the food was great! Fairview Metropolitan delivered an unforgettable experience, and Angela’s support made all the difference. Fairview Metropolitan is an excellent choice for any special event. Highly recommended.”

“I was very pleased with the whole process from organizing the event to the day of the event itself. I had an art gallery show and celebration of living. The staff was quick to reply to my emails and generous with their support. The day of the art exhibit the staff was helpful and kind.

“We stayed from Friday - Sunday, and it was the wedding of our dreams! On friday, we were able to set up the barn ahead of time and have our rehearsal dinner in the backyard. My bridesmaids stayed the night in the house, making the morning of so fun and stress free. It was DIY, and we were given the freedom to decorate and do whatever we wanted, bringing all of our Pinterest boards to life.

“The team at Jefferson Street Mansion are so professional, organized, and kind throughout the whole planning process. I have a busy life and the easy planning and guidance with them made it stress free. I reached out about all types of questions and the Jefferson team deserves a "A !". They are on top of everything and make you feel so special and heard. We worked with Sophia at our first wedding planning meeting and she was such a sweetheart. Jasmine the manager was also on top of our questions and she definitely wears her heart on her sleeve. She made us feel like we weren't a burden because I am type "A". She made my husband I feel so comfortable. HUGE shoutout to Amanda who facilitated our final meeting and was also our day of coordinator. Words cannot describe how well rounded, professional, and at ease with felt with Amanda. She is extraordinary and truly loves what she does and you can see and sense it. She kept up with our wedding timeline the day of and with our hectic Italian and Filipino families she is a wizard for that. My Mother recently got a knee replacement and said that Amanda was so patient and caring towards her. Special thanks to DJ Saul who made the whole wedding so eventful and lively. Robby and I appreciate the whole team and how amazing the wedding went. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how delicious the food was and smooth the whole day went. It was a great time! Grateful for you all! Thank you again to Amanda, Jasmine, Kathy, Kaitlin, Sophia, Jane, Fabi, and Saul️”

“We recently hosted our wedding at Hiddenbrooke Hills in mid-March, and I cannot say enough amazing things about the entire experience. From the very first planning meeting to the final moments of the night, every single person on the team was on their A game. The event ran so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Tay, our event coordinator, was incredible. She was completely on top of everything and had the venue set up exactly as we had discussed. No detail was overlooked. Her calm, organized presence gave us total confidence that the day would be perfect. Eric, the banquet captain, went above and beyond in every way. Not only did he keep us perfectly on schedule all night, but he also personally took care of my husband and me the entire evening. He made sure our parents always had a drink in hand and plenty of delicious food. His attention to detail and genuine warmth made the reception feel seamless and special. The head chef and kitchen team absolutely knocked it out of the park with the food. It was BOMB (do yourself a favor and do the buffet options). Our guests are still raving about the meal! The bartenders were fantastic, friendly, efficient, and always keeping the drinks flowing perfectly. The rest of the event staff were equally impressive: professional, attentive, and quick to help with anything that came up. They anticipated needs before we even realized them. At the end of the night, everything was handled with care all of our personal items were safely placed in our car, and every last detail was settled so we could end the evening without a single worry. This venue and its team turned our wedding into a truly unforgettable celebration. The level of service, coordination, and heart from everyone involved was extraordinary. We felt like VIPs the entire weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life. Thank you to Tay, Eric, the head chef, the bartenders, the event staff, and every person behind the scenes. You all made our wedding day magical. We will happily recommend Hiddenbrooke Hills to anyone looking for a top-tier venue with a superstar team!”

“Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can bring your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee). The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous. Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We are incredibly grateful for the team. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the space perfect accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. We finally got married in September 2023! I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.”
