Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With its blend of laid-back sophistication and natural beauty, this full-service golf club nestled in the Santa Clara Valley feels like a peaceful paradise just moments from the hustle and bustle of San Jose. Its lush landscaping and gracious event spaces are matched by phenomenal hospitality, boasting a topnotch events team, fabulous all-inclusive packages, and affordable pricing that invites you to dream big.
- Fragrant white roses perfume the air on the outdoor patio, where you can exchange vows beneath a rustic arbor that frames views of the surrounding hills. While your guests mingle and nibble hors d'oeuvres, you'll want to explore the expansive course with your photographer, capturing golden hour photos beneath ancient oaks, among sun-kissed meadows, and on the plush greens.
- Inside, the stylish modern clubhouse is flooded with light thanks to towering skylights and rows of floor-to-ceiling windows. The neutral color palette, with accents of honey-colored wood and Craftsman-inspired fixtures, creates a fresh, airy feel that needs little adornment—though it also beautifully showcases your own personal décor and stylistic touches.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers
Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose is all-inclusive: catering is handled in-house, and the club provides the tables, chairs, linens, flatware, glassware, service staff, bartenders, and setup and cleanup. An on-site wedding coordinator helps you plan and runs the day itself. What you'll pay for separately is your food and drink (meals start at $60 per person and bar packages at $36 per guest), a 20% service charge, and a $1,500 ceremony fee if you're marrying on the ceremony patio. Overlays, chair covers and sashes are rented through the club, too.
Yes, Cinnabar Hills Golf Club hosts both, so guests simply walk from one to the other. Ceremonies happen on the landscaped outdoor patio, with greenery, white roses and rolling hills behind you. Then your reception moves inside, under towering skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows, for up to 200 guests. Receptions are indoors only, since there's no outdoor reception space. Getting married somewhere else? Reception-only bookings are available too.
Cinnabar Hills Golf Club provides all of the catering in-house, with one sweet exception: you can bring your own wedding cake or special desserts, with a $5 per person cake-cutting fee. You can also bring your own wine, with corkage of $25 per 750ml bottle, $35 per 1.5-liter bottle and $10 per 750ml of sparkling cider. Overlays, chair covers and sashes must be rented through the club, and any candles need to sit in an enclosed votive. Your vendors' setup times are arranged with the event coordinator.
The number to plan around at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose is the food and beverage minimum: $15,000 on a Friday, $19,500 on a Saturday and $17,500 on a Sunday, before the service charge and taxes. On top of that, there's a room rental that depends on the day. For a reception, it's $3,500 on a Friday, $5,500 on a Saturday and $4,500 on a Sunday. Marrying on the ceremony patio adds a $1,500 ceremony fee. Meals start at $60 per person, bar packages start at $36 per guest, and the service charge is 20%.
