We are so happy we went with Chabot Space and Science Center for our wedding. We wanted something unique that also aligned with our interests -- our background in physics, astronomy, and space. The staff at Chabot are incredibly kind and were quick to respond to our emails and questions. The space was incredibly expansive and unique for our guests. The planetarium ceremony was our favorite part, and we will treasure those memories forever. As an educator myself, I fully appreciate that Chabot is a non-profit organization and that my deposit/rental fee goes back to the community and staff. Thank you again for making our day so special!

Held a welcome party / meet and greet for the family and friends before our wedding at Tipsy Putt in Emeryville. Great centralized venue for the party, and The Trophy Club space was gorgeous with plenty of room to chat and catch up. Friendly and accommodating staff, good food, and even better drinks! Everyone loved the games. 1-2 Putt was the big equalizer- my friends who can't golf wound up beating my friends who golf twice a week. All in all a great time.

When planning our wedding, my goal was to have the most stress-free experience possible -- and Wedgewood delivered that for us! The Redwood Canyon coordinators guided us through every step of the process, keeping us on track for the entire year leading up to our special day. I wanted a laid back garden party theme, and the Redwood Canyon location was perfect for that; the outdoor ceremony area is like a gorgeous secret garden. Everything on site is extremely customizable, so I was able to make my boho/British countryside vision come to life, but other couples could easily dress up the location to fit just about any vibe. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to sit back and enjoy their wedding day (without having to micro-manage anything yourself)!! Note: if I can update this after I get the professional photos back, I will add them. Otherwise my pics are just a few from friends & family.

I had my wedding here at Fairview Metropolitan and it was the MOST AMAZING DAY EVER! For starters Angela Muse helped us from start to finish on planning our day and every little detail in between! She was amazing to work with, she was clear, communicative, friendly and organized which is everything you want when you are planning your wedding! When I arrived at my reception I was blown away by the decor and how beautiful every detail was! Thank you so much Angela for all of your hard work and support in making my dream reception!!! The vendors that are connected to Fairview that I opted into having was DJ Keel and Ting at Montclair Florist. DJ Keel was a phenomenal MC and met with us ahead of time to get an idea of how we wanted our wedding MC'd as well as what we wanted our music to be like and let me tell you he achieved it!!! My guests were laughing, entertained and raving about the music all night! Thank you Dj Keel! I coordinated with Ting from Montclair Florist and although we did not talk much I have to say my bouquet and center pieces were the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen! The flowers were stunning and she ran with the ideas I had and made it the most beautiful arrangement ever!! My guests were raving about the food and we were so supported by KeeKee our Banquet Manager! She checked in on us and made sure we were good throughout our reception! Book with Fairview you will not regret it the venue is beautiful and open, the tented pavilion is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the staff are phenomenal!!!

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 had our wedding at Boundary Oak in May 2024, and I can’t say enough great things about our experience—especially working with Angelique. From our very first tour her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were top tier. We toured seven venues before choosing Boundary Oak, and it was the combination of stunning grounds and exceptional customer service that sealed the deal for us. Our initial food tasting was decent—typical wedding food—but a new head chef joined about six months before our wedding. The improvement was noticeable and really elevated our reception meal. Our guests raved about the food! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be regarding the bridal suite. While functional, it could definitely benefit from an upgrade. Adding a private bathroom and a lock on the door would make a huge difference in comfort and privacy for the bride on such an important day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Boundary Oak and are so grateful to Angelique and the entire team for helping make our day so special!

We had our wedding at Shadelands Ranch Museum in 2018 and couldn't have been happier with our decision! We had a few parameters to work within — a tight budget, a list of vendors we wanted to work with, and a large guest count. The staff at Shadelands were incredibly accommodating and easy to partner with. Since their policy allows food trucks and other mobile caterers, we were able to hire one of our favorite local BBQ restaurants to cater, which was a huge hit. The venue grounds are large enough to fit a sizeable group — perfect for our guests who brought children — they had plenty of room to run around on the lawn. In the summer, the venue adds string lights in the trees around their gazebo, creating a beautiful and romantic touch when the sun sets. The gazebo served as a beautiful centerpiece and the location for our photo booth. Our DJ had plenty of space to set up on the back patio, which doubled as the dance floor. The venue’s accessibility was incredible, with ample parking, clean restrooms, a kitchen, and a porch for the bride to ‘hide’ until the ceremony. And because the venue provided the tables and chairs, we only needed to rent table linens. Shadelands is the place to book if you want a beautiful and affordable outdoor wedding venue in Walnut Creek that can accommodate both your ceremony and reception. The attentive staff, accessible location, and flexibility around customization make it an ideal place to tie the knot!

We had an amazing wedding at Nido's! The space is already so well curated we didn't do much decorating other than florals which was great. They offered amazing communication throughout the planning process and day of. Loved the outdoor covered space, especially on a hot day! Food and drinks were delicious too!

The setting itself - with the flowers, fruiting trees, vegetation, goats ... adding so much - had all the spaces we needed for ceremony, gathering, meals. We highly recommend!

The staff was attentive and genuinely cared about making sure our guests felt welcomed and taken care of. The food was truly fantastic, and honestly, the pricing felt fair for the quality we received. Since our wedding, everyone we've talked to has told us how beautiful, classy, and fun the event was.

Candi and Byron at the Terrace Room helped make our wedding reception a memorable, elegant, and easygoing event. We started the process early (18 months), and they supported us in navigating meal options, laying out the floor plans, and creating an atmosphere filled with warmth. Everyone involved in our reception was exceptionally professional, passionate and dedicated to creating a memorable (even if ephemeral) night. We are so thankful to Candi and Byron who shepherded us through every micro decision (linens, hors d'oeuvres, music, decorations, vendors, etc). Without them the event wouldn’t have felt unique to us. If you’re looking for a venue that brings history, classic architecture, unbeatable views, and a dedicated staff, this is the place!

From our first email to the final walk-out on our wedding day, Berkeley City Club's team stayed in touch and got back to us fast. They were genuinely friendly throughout the whole planning process, which made everything feel less stressful. What really impressed us was how flexible they were—nothing was too much to ask, whether it was setup, breakdown, or any last-minute changes we needed. The venue itself is stunning, and their staff made sure everything was perfect without us having to worry about the details. We felt taken care of from start to finish, and we'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that actually listens and delivers. We had about 45 people, and I was so worried it would be jam packed, it would be weird with spacing, but no. Literally it was such a dream and I wish I could do it again. I didnt need any decor, the space itself was so beautiful. Every room in that place is a great spot for pictures if youre into something moody. If you like old books, a little bit of gothic notes, history, fairytalesque- this is such a gem of a find. I could go on and on but Im sure whoever if reading this at this length must be really into the space. So just go see it and youll get it.
