Fairview Metropolitan 10051 Doolittle Drive • Oakland • CA 94603

For red carpet treatment alongside the beautiful Metropolitan Golf Course, book your celebration at Fairview Metropolitan, a local favorite just minutes from downtown Oakland and the Oakland Airport.

Fairview Metropolitan has earned a reputation for its great value and scenic vistas. Plus, green weddings take note: the year-round Metropolitan Golf Course has been awarded sanctuary status by Audubon International. The entire property has a natural, spacious feel, and long views to the Oakland hills, the bay, downtown Oakland and the San Francisco skyline lend it an uplifting outlook and unhurried charm. Not only is Fairview Metropolitan a terrific venue for golf events, corporate functions, and holiday parties, it's also become a popular choice for affordable East Bay weddings.

An expansive lawn, complete with a romantic gazebo and splashing fountain, is custom-made for wedding ceremonies next to the emerald-green fairways. While the wedding party poses for photos, guests follow a breezeway to the patio of the golf course's Sweet Spot Café where they mingle over cocktails. Bordered by attractive landscaping, the patio features uninterrupted views of the course and the bayside surroundings. Dinner and dancing take place nearby in two adjoining spaces: A sizable banquet room, with windows along two walls, that opens to a glamorous 3,000-square-foot tent. Outfitted with amenities such as a built-in bar, state-of-the-art sound system, dance floor, elegantly draped ceiling, carpeting, and cooling Casablanca fans, the tent is a fun and stylish "party central" that you can enjoy until midnight.

Of course, one of the most reassuring aspects of booking an event at this appealing East Bay location is the professionalism and service you'll receive in the hands of their expert staff. They provide a low-stress planning experience, with a choice of customizable wedding packages, some of which include invitations, flowers, wedding cake, and music, as well as the bar and a tempting menu. All their vendors have been carefully screened to ensure top quality, affordability, and maximum satisfaction.

Will you choose the cream-white dendrobium orchids and bear grass in tall cylinder vases or the big bowls of floating roses, gerberas, or gardenias? The stacked buttercream wedding cake with fresh flowers or the white-chocolate cake shaped like a gift box with a cascading ribbon? We can't list all of your options, but we can promise you this: You won't have to do any legwork, you'll know just what you're getting—and you won't lose track of the cost. The only thing you'll have to think about is where to go for your honeymoon!
