    Beautiful Course, good condition, not for the beginner. Every tee shot have to carry over something. Also this course is not walkable lots of elevation. But if you're in Silicon Valley well worth the green fee. PS. Bring extra balls😉

    This venue truly is a hidden gem. It was the first venue we visited and after 10+ other ones, we still couldn’t get it out of our head. We got married in August, when the greenery was full, so it meant the space was naturally beautiful and didn’t need as much florals or decor. Our guests all kept commenting on what a cozy, intimate, gorgeous space it was. The redwood grove ceremony was just stunning. We had 80 people total and it was the perfect size. Shout out to Kathy! She is a saint for responding to all my emails over the course of a year. From the get go, she was friendly, had a list of recommendations, and was transparent about any venue restrictions or needed rentals. The drawbacks: End time—it has an 8pm music cut off time due to a local noise ordinance. We ended up starting earlier in the day and reserved space at a bar in Santa Cruz for an after party, so it was fine but a logistical challenge. It meant our guests coming from San Jose had to drive during peak beach traffic time (it took some 2 and a half hours…) and we wanted to safely shuttle everyone to the after party so that was an extra cost. All outdoor space—we were so lucky our weather was 80 and sunny with a light breeze. It was perfect. But let me tell you, I was a mess for a year until I could finally see the forecast. The sun also beat down on some guests and the dance floor for about an hour during the reception, but again this was during August. Bathrooms—we originally estimated 100 guests and unfortunately there’s only one real bathroom for guests so we needed to rent a trailer which was an additional $1200. It was okay as I wiggled the budget around a little, but ouch. Would I have my wedding here again? Absolutely. Without a doubt. It was beautiful and unique. My recommendation is to be flexible with as much as you can and maybe book in fall when the sun is in a better position and you can add some lights for a cozy evening time.

    There are no words to convey truly how highly we recommend working with Saneta and her team at Canyon View Event Center. We had our wedding reception here on 09/03/2023 and Saneta & Jessica did absolutely EVERYTHING possible to make sure we had the best experience and best day ever. From the very beginning of our booking process, Saneta was so helpful, giving us real and personalized advice on what would work best for our guests, even allowing us to stop by multiple times throughout the planning process to show the venue to our coordinator and parents. They were so accommodating and set the standard for all event venues with their incredible service. Even now, 9+ days after our event, we are still getting compliments on our reception, the beautiful views, the food, etc. and a lot of it is thanks to Saneta and her team.

    I recently had my wedding reception at the Palm Event Center on 11/14/2025 and it was amazing! Right after the initial tour in October 2024, we immediately knew that this was the venue that we wanted to have our wedding reception at. It is so beautiful! Please be aware, this venue books up so fast so if you're still thinking about it - book that tour ASAP and get started!! It's so worth it. From the very beginning, we've had only positive experiences with the Palm team. The entire team was so easy to communicate and work with and we never felt any type of stress from this part of our planning process. Email responses were always lightning quick. We were introduced to our coordinator, Heather, a few months prior to our wedding date and she was a joy to work with. Very thorough and easy to communicate with. On the day of the wedding, she and the Palm team executed our vision amazingly and constantly checked in with us to make sure our wedding reception was running smoothly. The venue setup was exactly what I communicated and envisioned, and Heather adjusted where needed to make things even better. The venue was stunning and we are so happy with how everything turned out. We've received so many compliments from our friends and family in the weeks after our wedding. I can't say enough good things about this team and venue!! Thanks again Palm team!

    We reserved Hastings House for our wedding in early November 2024. It was a fantastic event thanks to Linda and her leadership, her marvelous garden, and the ambiance created by her husband Richard and his guitar. We got lucky with a gorgeous sunny day that brought out the best lighting for the garden ceremony and photos. Our family and friends were impressed with the whole experience. Linda helped us right from the start with a recommendation list that included Dave Medal Photography, La Costanera for the reception and Alena Jean for our florals. The few months of preparation and the day of events could not have gone any better and we cannot recommend Linda and her garden enough.

    Waterfall Lodge was everything we could’ve asked for and more in a venue. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, stunning - guests described it as a “fairytale”. The on-site team was ready to direct, shuttle guests, and answer any questions. Communication leading up to our wedding was way too easy. We loved that they had all the furniture rentals we needed on site. The yard games and fire pit were huge hits, too. Lodging for our guests the night of the wedding was also great. Our guests (some with very high standards and lots of travel experience) told us that they loved the venue, the accommodations, and the communication from Waterfall leading up to our wedding day about their cabin reservations. We truly cannot recommend Waterfall Lodge more. Thank you for being a part of our special day!! The rest of our dream team was: Event by Dawn (coordinator), Feast for a King (catering/bartending), Ca1 Photobus, Santa Cruz DJ (Scott), Dahlias and Details (florist), Blush Bridal (MUAH), The Howard’s Film Co (video), Jonathan Hicks (photo)

    Had the best event last Saturday at Saratoga Springs! A Cousin Reunion for 4 generations of 65 cousins in a gorgeous setting on a beautiful day! Olivia and Sam were so helpful in the planning, and no detail was overlooked. The venue (Saratoga Cove) looked awesome and the barbecue and side dishes were amazing! The staff was so professional and available throughout the day. Everyone had the best time, the kids loved the Fun Zone and no-one wanted to leave at the end of the day! As one cousin told me the next day - It was epic! I give Saratoga Springs a 10 - it's not just for weddings and big events but perfect for small family gathering too. Thanks SS!

    Having our wedding at Casa Bella was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, it met all our non-negotiables (ceremony & reception in one area and close to airports/hotels) to make it as easy as possible for our guests. We worked with Leann and Yoselin and they are absolutely lovely throughout the entire process. The entire staff also did such an wonderful job making sure all our guests were well-fed - I didn't hear a single complaint the entire night. If you're looking for an inclusive venue, Casa Bella is a must. We went with their hors d'oeuvres, 3 course meal, open bar (I was overjoyed when they allowed bloody mary's as a signature drink and it was DELICIOUS) and late night snacks and everything was amazing. They also provided us with an outdoor ceremony tent to help us with the heat. Oh, and they have decorations you can rent at a cost or for FREE! We used Weddings with Athena as our coordinator, Celestial Petals as our florist, Ditto Dianto as our photographer, Benji Films (La Venus Studio) as our videographer, and DJ TN with Twin Spin Entertainment as our DJ/MC. All vendors were already familiar with the venue which made the entire planning a breeze. I hope to visit again as a guest as I will be recommending this venue to all future brides & grooms. Thank you so much Casa Bella! Photos: Ditto Dianto Photography

    Little Hills Events was the perfect choice for our big day. Lindsey and her team were INCREDIBLE at helping bring every detail of our dream wedding to life. Planing a wedding can become overwhelming, but this event team is so personable. Relying on their preferred vendors, and getting every little question answered kept our minds at ease. We fell so in love with the space, we were able to use it for our rehearsal dinner the night before as well. We practiced the ceremony, and enjoyed pizzas and speeches around the fire pit. Guests loved getting to use the space for both events, and it made it easy on us to plan. It was very clear to us we were in the best hands in the industry, and our expectations were somehow still exceeded. The whole process turned out to be seamless and beautiful. The event staff was so down to earth and attentive, we seriously felt like royalty all day. We wanted an April wedding, and were kindly warned about potential rain... Lindsey kept us in the loop and was flexible offering us the perfect spot in front of beautiful redwood trees lining a small creek. This venue gave us the perfect mix of an outdoorsy feel, with a luxurious dining and dancing reception experience. The many different landscapes on the property made for stunning photos. It has been so special to look back on them and remember how Little Hills Events did such a great job of celebrating our unique love story. Months later as we prepared to welcome our baby girl we returned to Little Hills Events to host our baby shower in their picnic area. It was such a blast to return to the place we tied the not, and watch all of our family, friends, and little ones run around enjoying the games, open space, live music, and BBQ. We are definitely keeping this space in mind for all our future big events!
