We had a wonderful wedding - the Wedgewood team helped us create a meaningful ceremony and reception. The pictures online do not do this place justice - you have to see it for yourself! The grounds are beautiful; we had our ceremony at the pavilion and our reception in the garden area / in their indoor hall area. The venue definitely felt like a fairy / cottage core dream to me! Wedgewood also vendors that work with them and provide really excellent services - florals, music, cakes. If you want to have an awesome wedding and reduce your stress, I would check this place out.

One word: Perfect. As someone who suffers from severe anxiety, I can honestly say I have never felt more at-ease and confident than while working with the Wedgewood Weddings Redwood Canyon team -- they always had our backs, kept us on track, and made us feel taken care of. From the first venue visit, during the planning meetings, all the way until the rehearsal and wedding day, the professionalism, clear communication, planning resources, and organized approach made for a seamless experience. We worked with Allison as our Wedding Planner and Coordinator and I firmly believe that she is one of the main reasons our wedding went as incredibly as it did. Redwood Canyon, provides a planning binder as soon as you sign that includes monthly checklists ahead of the wedding to help keep you organized in between planning meetings. It is also filled with valuable information about the wedding planning process, examples, vendor questions, and general guidelines. It helped us structure the planning process without losing the ability to truly personalize our event. Every meeting we had with the planning team was concise, direct, and organized -- it helped us stay on track throughout the process and gave us the opportunity to discuss ideas and ask for advice (which they are also more than happy to give via email). Super responsive and accommodating -- we were so impressed with how easy the process was. We also partnered with their recommended Bakery, DJ, and Florist as part of our vendor team, and the coordination between venue and vendors was absolutely seamless...by the time the week of the wedding rolled around all the main aspects were locked in and we knew the event was in good hands. The wedding day itself was perfect. Allison served as our Day-Of-Coordinator, and together with Jacoby (co-coordinator), Liv (banquet captain), Liz (banquet captain), and rest of the team (cooks, servers, bartenders) we had the most incredible wedding. We arrived at the agreed-upon time on the day of the wedding, and from that moment onwards, the Redwood Canyon team took over to deliver the best experience. They were organized, calm, kept us well hydrated and fed, and kept everything on track for us all night. We were able to confidently hand off the reins -- we didn't have to think of anything all day other than having a good time and enjoying our day as much as possible, trusting that all the logistics were in good hands. Overall, the venue itself was gorgeous. We had our ceremony in the Arbor Lawn, our Reception in the Grand Ballroom (we initially chose the venue primarily because of the dance floor), and rented out the Rose Room for the Cocktail Hour. Everything was included and beautifully decorated with all our desired personal touches, the food and drinks were delicious, and the planning and coordination services must be some of the best in the business. I can't imagine a more incredible experience than what we had and am so thankful for the Redwood Canyon team's care and professionalism -- especially Allison, who we were fortunate enough to work with from first meeting through the day-of. The wedding day went off without a hitch and I couldn't recommend the Redwood Canyon team more 3

We can't say enough good things about Sequoyah Country Club. Andrea and Sally are the most attentive, responsive, professional, and kind venue coordinators out there. Our wedding was a beautiful success because of them and the SCC staff. They know how to host a wedding -- and it shows. We valued their expertise every step of the way. They've hosted so many weddings that they had great suggestions and solutions to every single thing that came up. Their recommended vendors list is valuable and we used it to hire our great day of coordinator. The venue is beautiful and well cared for inside and out. It shows in our pictures. All of the chairs, linens, glassware, cake stands, etc. were in great condition. The building and grounds are lovely so we didn't need excessive decorations or flowers. We don't live locally and planned the wedding from across the country -- it wasn't an issue with how well organized SCC is. It rained the night before our wedding and was unexpectedly a little colder than we anticipated -- Andrea and Sally helped us adjust our day of plans-- we kept the ceremony outside but moved cocktail hour inside with only a couple hour notice -- no one was stressed, they took care of it all. We had 150 people for an outdoor ceremony and indoor dinner and dancing. Lastly -- we were very happy with the pricing (so many things are included, and if they aren't already included, they're happy to arrange just about anything else!). We felt every single dollar was well spent. We can't recommend the venue enough -- the biggest thank you to Andrea, Sally, and the SCC staff.

We really wanted a venue that did everything. I didn't have the time or patience to run around interviewing photographers, DJs, bakeries, caterers, etc, so we were really happy to find Wedgewood. They pretty much do it all. Everything is spelled out clearly including timelines, what to expect, when and where to be, etc, so there is minimal guesswork for the bride and groom. Everyone said it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to.

The Bridges Golf Club 

5.0

San Ramon, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Bridges Golf Club is an elegant and sophisticated wedding venue located in San Ramon, California. Overlooking the beautiful rolling hills and valley of San Ramon, this Mediterranean-style structure features spectacular and dramatic views of the setting sun over the East Bay Hills, a welcoming atmosphere and superior service. Whether your wedding is as intimate as 25 guests or as large as 300 guests, The Bridges Golf Club brings to life magnificent wedding receptions and special occasions. Wedding ceremonies begin outside the clubhouse on a grass terrace perched on a gentle rise, overlooking fairways below. The clubhouse exterior features a tiled roof, white walls and Moorish turrets, and the interior features soothing earth tones, elegant chandeliers and refined décor to create the perfect celebratory ambience.

My husband and I got married here early January 2023. So thankful were we able to secure this venue. We had 6 months to plan for a wedding 180 guests and I was stressed. Thankfully this place was available on our date of choice. We visited 5 venues and couldn't get Bridges out of our minds. Both Sandy & Sharon were easy to reach via email. Sandy was so helpful with the facilitation process. And whoa, the food was really good. Our guests enjoyed the meals so much. We held our ceremony in the clubhouse and the reception in the garden pavilion. The space was huge and allowed for that classic, timeless look we were going for. I will add that the venue is fairly strict with decor and responsibilities so review your contract closely. The bridal room is detached (not inside and quite small) so adjust your schedule accordingly. There is no equivalent room for the groom. Not a huge deal breaker. We wanted to do our ceremony on the golf course but we decided to Sri j with indoors due to weather. Beautiful views though. We pass by this venue occasionally and seeing it from the road elicits heartwarming emotions and wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Blue Agave Club 

5.0

Pleasanton, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Blue Agave Club is part of a family of great Mexican Restaurants located in the Bay Area. Located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, Blue Agave Club first opened its doors in April, 1997. Being the very first restaurant in the area to debut high-end Mexican cuisine, it was clear there was something special about Blue Agave from the very beginning. Boasting an impressive list of premium tequila, BAC had a huge impact on our community by introducing the art of tequila tasting. It wasn’t long before we quickly became well known for our 100% Blue Agave Tequila margaritas, featuring a secret homemade sweet and sour recipe.

Could not have imagined a better venue to celebrate our engagement. We hosted all of our family and friends in the back patio for dinner. The entire Blue Agave team went above and beyond to make it a perfect event — from the service, to menu, music, decor, and everything in between. Would highly recommend for any special occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can express how wonderful it was to have our wedding at Chabot! My husband and I were looking for a venue that was different than your traditional wedding location and Chabot was the perfect place. We booked the “Across the Universe” package which allowed us to have the ceremony in the Planetarium, cocktail hour upstairs & the reception in Astronomy Hall, 3 different places! We were in love with the idea that our guests could enjoy different settings all in the same location. The ability to customize the Planetarium in terms of lights, music & projections allowed us to really personalize the space. We got married October 7, 2023 and Chabot was able to project the sky from October 7, 2016, the day that we met which was super special! We had 150 guests and Astronomy Hall had the perfect amount of space where everyone had enough room to be comfortable to sit down but also move around and dance. We decided to go with their recommended vendors for wedding coordination (Simply Elegant by Diana), catering (Blue Heron), and lighting/DJ services (Verducci Event Productions) which really made the coordination process so easy! The Chabot team, Alex and Chelsea, are very organized and great to work with. They did an amazing job bringing our vision for the wedding to life and we are truly grateful for them! And because they are a non-profit, the rental cost of the venue goes back to fund the center, it was a no brainer for us to choose Chabot! If you’re looking for a unique and fun wedding venue, you will not regret picking the Chabot Space & Science Center!

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.

Menlo Park, CA
  • Up to 200 guests

  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,944

When guests arrive at the redwood-and-glass building, they often gather in its open, airy lobby. Then, if you’re having your ceremony here (and most couples do), your family and friends will be ushered through Craftsman-styled double wooden doors to the serene South Patio. This beautiful, crescent-shaped flagstone space wraps around one entire side of the building and features a Zen-like border of Japanese maples, native plants and graceful oaks. Handcrafted ceramic urns are integrated throughout and serve as artful and calming water features. You can opt to exchange vows in front of those wooden entry doors, or take full advantage of the patio’s pièce de résistance and say “I do” beneath an asymmetrical canvas canopy. There’s ample room for al fresco cocktails on the patio before everyone moves into the Sequoia Room for dinner. This reception area feels quite spacious, with its cathedral ceiling, polished hardwood floors, and two walls of glass

We were hired by a family to provide security for their sons Bar Mitzvah. The facility was easy to work with and very professional. I bragged so much about the venue to my fiancé that she setup an appointment with Deshawn to tour the facility. Deshawn was amazing she was very personable, knowledgeable about the facility and her customer service was exceptional. She walked us through the facility and gave us lots of advice and ideas on how to setup our ceremony and reception. This was a no brainier decision for us. If only every aspect of wedding planning could be this easy! Now we’re booked to have our wedding at this gorgeous facility in 2023!
