Wow! Amazing service

They was wonderful from beginning to end. I ended up starting my ceremony an hour late and I was stressing and they was like everything is fine. They provided great food and bar service. They help make sure that everything ran smoothly. I really appreciate their help

Century House was such a beautiful place to have our wedding reception. The food was wonderful, service was incredible and we couldn't ask for anything else. The owner was so nice to us and answered all of the questions that we had. Everyone told us how beautiful everything turned out and we were happy about the outcome. We will definitely use this facility in the future.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Century House and Gardens. I just want to say this place was AMAZING!!! I really enjoyed working with Obiada, one of the owners, she has been very nice and pleasant to work with!!

Better yet, the Events Manager, Kathy Santos did an EXCEPTIONAL job at organizing my wedding. She met with me to look over all the details on how I wanted things to look, and I wanted eveyrthing to be displayed, she is very organized, professional, supportive, and last but not least she was soooooooooooooooo NICE!!! She just made sure eveyrthing was just right. Everything I asked for was there and just right!! It looked beautiful that day.

Ok, lets talk food!! The food was excellent. Everyone was complimenting me as they left on how good the food was. It was delicious, cooked just right, and there was more than enough for everyone. The bartender was extremely nice too, she was also on top of everything and was great with all our guests. Once again, Kathy made sure the menu I had picked with the extra details about the bar were all right in place for my special day!!!

My day was gorgeous, and everything went well. I definetely recommend this place it was a wonderful experience, and I loved everything about Century House and Gardens. Thanks so much Century House for making my day sooo unforgetable, and a special thanks to Events Manager, Kathy Santos for being on top of everything and helping me make this day happen!!!!! My day was made just the way I wanted due to all the dedication, time and effort, Kathy had made for me and my groom!! Thanks again!!

The venue was perfect for my ceremony and reception. It was affordable and the venue was beautiful and very accomodating. I had about 100 people at my wedding includign the wedding party and it was perfect for the size. However, if you have more than that you will be very squished in the venue. The people were very nice and the site turned out even more beautiful than I could have anticipated. We did all the decorating ourselves so be prepared to get creative, but it all comes together beautifully. The food was delicious, and they cater to many different cuisines and are ethnically diverse and accomodating. Overall, we recieved tons of compliments on every part of the venue.

Century House was a great find hidden in downtown Fremont. A one stop shop! I got to have the elegant wedding for half the cost. Adriana was great in helping me she explained everything I needed to know. And worked close with me to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. They did really good helping to color coordinate with the wedding color and even provide the fresh flowers and centerpiece at every table for free. Only thing you pay for is the seats covers and sash if you like and the rent.
The catering done by Century was very delish I recommend the Chicken Marsala!
Only thing I recommend is that you eat all you can eat because if you don't the food goes to waste!
The only glitch was during the ceremony in the garden the maintenance guys were putting away a ladder in the shed and it fell down in the middle of the ceremony! Never the less it didn't ruin the day and I spoke to Adriana about it a couple of days later and she was going to take that to the owners.
I would recommend "Century House and Gardens"

The food is really good. Adrianna was very helpful, thorough, and polite. She catered to me and my husband needs. The package includes 8 hours of time for ceremony and reception. They allow you to decorate and personalize the venue without using your event time. There were small issues like staff availability. It's very hard to contact someone, but when you do, the experience is always pleasant.

Good value for they money and a great way to not make your guests travel between ceremony and reception. The site was beautiful and everyone had a good time. It was often difficult to get in touch with Adriana, the event coordinator, and she got confused on some details. My biggest compliants are that we ran out of food and they only set up garden chairs (for the ceremony) for half my guest even though I paid for enough chairs for every guest. Good place for someone who wants to be fairly hands off and not get upset about small problems. Not the place for someone needs everything to be perfect.
