Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A spectacular surprise awaits you, tucked atop a quiet crest flanked by towering redwood trees: The Mountain Terrace, a hidden gem that reveals itself upon approach. Once you pass through its simple wood arbor, you'll discover a brilliant acre of lawn, shimmering in the sunlight and unfurling towards a sweeping view of the southern part of San Francisco Bay all the way down to the Fremont hills.
- Just above the lawn, a large two-level redwood deck rises from the green. Draped in market lights and adorned with a seasonal tent, it's a superb setting for a stand-up reception, sit-down dinner, or any kind of function in between. Just beyond the deck are more mature oaks (one with a tree swing) shading chairs beneath them along with a fire pit, creating a sweet nook for mingling and taking a break from the festivities.
- Glass doors connect the deck to an inviting lodge, divided into a dining room and a bar/dance area by a large stone fireplace, perfect for a cozy dinner party or dancing the night away. Large picture windows frame lovely views of the deck and lawn, keeping partygoers connected to this magical setting throughout your celebration.
