The Terrace Room 

5.0

Oakland, CA
  • Up to 190 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $13,500

Oakland’s Most Enchanting Wedding & Celebration Venue Our panoramic view encompasses the blue-green of Lake Merritt and the lush Oakland hills. A special treat for evening events is the Necklace of Lights, which is a chain of lights on ornate Victorian light poles that surround the entire lake

We will forever remember our gorgeous Oakland wedding at the Terrace Room. This venue highlights the beauty of Oakland, especially at night. It’s absolutely stunning. Candi (the event coordinator) was super sweet and worked with us faithfully, even through two COVID-19 postponements. After hearing about all the horrors couples went through with unaccommodating venues, Terrace Room made it easy to stick it out with them to have the wedding we originally wanted. Their food is fantastic as well! We keep getting compliments on it from our guests to this day. Choosing Terrace Room meant knocking out many to-do’s off our wedding planning list, as they provide a lot of services in their pricing. Speaking of price, this place can’t be beat. You get a lot for your money. Take a look at their preferred vendor list as well, they have some winners! Thank you eternally to Candi and Terrace Room for hosting the most beautiful night of our lives.

Riggers Loft Wine Company was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the team was efficient, easy, and professional to work with. The venue itself is truly unique, with gorgeous views that made for a stunning backdrop to our special day. They were incredibly flexible, allowing our vendors to easily deliver chairs and linens. Additionally, the in-house catering (shoutout to Chef Frank) was able to work with our budget to provide an incredible meal that all of our guests raved about.

Where to begin...I absolutely LOVED working with Angelica & The Willow Ballroom. She made it so easy throughout the entire wedding planning process, and she truly cared about us having the best day possible. Her attention to detail, expertise, industry knowledge, suggestions, and caring demeanor did not go unnoticed. We toured several spots around the greater Sacramento area for our wedding, and we had the best experience with The Willow Ballroom. It was such a beautiful and unique space, and we didn't have to worry about a ton of decor because the space speaks for itself (which saved us money!). Highly recommend working with The Willow Ballroom for not only weddings, events, reunions, the list goes on, it really can do it all!

The experience was incredibly memorable in their beautiful home overlooking the coastline and town of Montara. Jody was so knowledgeable we ended up asking her to be our event coordinator, which really took a lot of stress off of the whole situation so we could just focus on enjoying the event. Choosing Casa Dei Sogni was the best decision we made for our wedding celebration.

Hastings House Garden Weddings 

5.0

Half Moon Bay, CA
  • Up to 48 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Hastings House Garden is a peaceful, enchanted spot, situated on a half-acre lot on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. It is a beautiful garden space perfect for ceremonies, vow renewals and elopements. It is completely private. The reception is held at a nearby venue of your choosing. You are provided with a list of local receptions sites.

We found Hastings House by looking for venues that catered specifically to small weddings (20 people) and fell in love with the garden and seaside scenery. Linda was a pleasure to work with; she gave us great local recommendations for hair stylists/MUA, florals, officiants, and reception venues in addition to helping us work through the complicated details of our guest seating and staggered arrival times. The classical guitar music her husband played during the ceremony preparation really stepped up the already romantic air of the garden. We hired an external photographer since we wanted pictures of our reception as well, but Linda was so generous as to take a few stunning photos of our ceremony as a bonus. She also took the time to walk our photographer around the garden and offered advice for photo framing and staging. Linda and Richard were both very accommodating of our wedding vision and they played a huge part in making our special day every ounce of wonderful!

Mavericks House 

5.0

Half Moon Bay, CA
  • Up to 140 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Couples seeking a stunning oceanfront setting for their big day will fall in love with Mavericks House. With indoor and outdoor celebration space above a beautiful, protected cove, this venue is the perfect spot for a romantic wedding by the sea. Embraced by a grove of trees and overlooking the Pacific, our ceremony garden can accommodate seating for up to 140 guests with views of the ocean, sailboats and marine life. Our spacious ballroom, lined with windows facing the sea, leads to an outdoor deck offering a picturesque backdrop for all your wedding memories. Our experienced event team is dedicated to making sure your big day turns out exactly as you've dreamed.

Our experience with Mavericks House was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was effortless, with easy contact via email and their event portal. Brittani, our main contact, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, ensuring that we were always up-to-date on deadlines, payments, and required documentation/forms. The venue's payment schedule and pricing structure were transparent and easy to understand, and the payment portal made transactions simple and convenient. The portal also let us refer to current and past documents at any time, making planning much easier. One of the highlights of our experience was the delicious food and drinks provided by the venue. The menu we chose offered a variety of options, including 3 cocktail hour appetizers, starter salad, 3 different mains, 2 sides, a churro bar, wine list, beer list, and His/Hers signature cocktails. The tasting process to choose our menu and drink list was not only enjoyable but also helped us customize our selections to our preferences. During the tasting, we also chose tablecloth/napkin colors, table configurations, and many other details for our wedding. They also took into consideration our guests with sensitive food allergies. We needed accommodations for gluten free, nut free, and shellfish free guests. Our guests with these allergies said the staff were very helpful and provided food they could enjoy. One thing that truly set this venue apart was their accommodation for guests who didn't drink. They allowed us to have two His/Hers signature cocktails and a mocktail, ensuring that everyone had a special drink option. Additionally, they provided Martinelli sparkling cider in addition to champagne for our toast, catering to our non-drinking guests. Throughout our wedding day, the staff provided full support and assistance when necessary, including helping us set up our DIY decor/centerpieces. Whenever we wanted to get more drinks from the bar, a staff member made us feel special by getting our drinks quickly, making us feel like the VIPs of our event! Since we were busy taking photos during our cocktail hour, at dinner, the staff provided us with a sampler plate of the appetizers we missed during cocktail hour, which was very thoughtful! At the end of the night, clean up was a breeze as the staff quickly and efficiently helped us clean up well before our 11pm cut-off time. Overall, our experience with Mavericks House was wonderful, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a picturesque venue that offers great food, drinks, and exceptional service.
