Our engagement party

Thank YOU for helping make our Engagement Party so special! It was truly a joy working with Rachel and the amazing team at the Crowne Plaza!

From the moment we arrived, we were met with such helpfulness and support. Every question we had was answered quickly, and all of our (sometimes last-minute!) requests were handled with such flexibility and care. Your team was incredibly hands-on and truly committed to making sure everything was set up just the way we envisioned. It really felt like everyone was there to support us, and that made a huge difference in our experience. That same level of care and support was felt throughout the entire event, and it gave us so much peace of mind to know we were in such good hands! (My whole family felt the support)♥️

The staff was so kind, professional, and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I’ve gone through the invoice and everything looks good on our end. If anything comes up, I’ll definitely reach out.

Thanks again for being such a big part of this special time in our lives. We truly appreciate all your support and hope we get to work together again in the future!

Wedding Reception

We had the most amazing experience with the Crowne Plaza (worked mostly with Nicolette who was exceptional). We had our wedding reception in the Marco Polo room, Nicolette really helped us create just what we wanted within our budget. It turned out lovely, the staff was amazing on the day of but also so kind and accommodating every time I went in leading up to the event. The food was excellent (we did the fiesta buffet). Everybody loved it and it had options for any food sensitivities. Highly recommend. We had 85 people and it felt like plenty of space. 10/10 service.

Outstanding Service

Nicolette Chan is an exceptional catering sales manager. I have contacted over 30 venues for my event with 100 guests. Nicolette is by far the most responsive and organized person. Her attention to detail and the timely completion of the quotes and contract were truly commendable. Nicolette provided helpful advice and suggestions regarding the event space and catering. She let me know all the important information regarding the room, food and beverage.

My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and I came to see the space. Nicolette's expertise and dedication to delivering outstanding service impressed all us. She was extremely attentive and listened to all our concerns with a great deal of patience. She has a caring approach and she is a true professional. We chose Crowne Plaza Foster City for the party because of Nicolette. I highly recommend hosting your event at Crowne Plaza of Foster City.

Crowne Plaza Foster City

We booked a room block and had our honeymoon at Crowne Plaza Foster City and everything went really great! The staff was fantastic and the rooms were nice. After our wedding we had a great time at the Clubhouse Bistro with many of our guests. The music was good and it was a lot of fun. In the morning we ordered room service which was a great way to end our wedding night.

Perfect suite for our wedding

Our stay at the crowne plaza was perfect. The suite looked great for taking photos and videos. It was quiet at night unike many other hotels we have stayed in. All the staff were extremely helpful and kind to us. The breakfast in the morning was very good as well.
