Absolutely amazing venue!

We hosted our wedding reception at Mountain Terrace and could not have been happier with our experience. The setting alone is absolutely gorgeous, but this venue does not assume its location is enough. Every interaction from the initial intake, the tasting (they have an INCREDIBLY talented onsite chef), the wedding coordination lead-up to the set-up and service for actual event was OUTSTANDING! Our guests were blown away by the venue, the food and the exceptional service. I cannot think of one thing I would do differently - if you are considering Mountain Terrace...BOOK IT NOW!

Best Team, Gorgeous Place, Always a good time!

As a Wedding Videographer referrals are my preferred way to connect with future clients. Whether by photographer, planner or venue - It is the highest compliment! Whenever I see a referral from The Mountain Terrace I am delighted. It is a stunning venue and is the perfect mix of a variety of locations and a compact, accessible and comfortable venue. It is so well designed and offers beautiful views as well as cozy places for guests to enjoy. The locations for filming are gorgeous as well, between the redwood trees, sweeping views, expansive lawn and twinkle lights hanging from the white tent - the backdrops are perfect to capture the many sides of a Wedding Day. I am always impressed by the food and the professionalism of the staff. They care so much for their clients and guests experiences and have high standards that they hold for all the vendors as well as their staff. I always feel a part of a team which helps me serve my clients all the better! I am grateful to have built the relationship that I have with Caren, Anastasia, and Kristy and look forward to seeing more referrals in my inbox and having the opportunity to film at The Mountain Terrace many more times!

One of our favorite Venues to work at!

I run a DJ entertainment Company, Justintertainment, based here in The Bay Area. We have had the pleasure of partnering with the team at The Mountain Terrace for several Years and are preferred Vendors to provide DJ Entertainment, Lighting, and photobooths at Weddings and events at Mountain Terrace. There are several beautiful Venues in the Bay Area but this one is special! The serene view on teh Ceremony Lawn is absolutely breathtaking! They also recently remodeled teh dinner patio the interior is classwic and classy at teh same time. Its big enough to host a huge reception but cizy enough to not be too spread out . Moreover, I LOVE the events team! They are amazing to work with! Caren, Anastasia, and Kristy are organized attentive and truly passionate about making their client's dreams come true! Everything always goes so smoothly and that is rare in our industry. Its a truly testament to their experience, their preparation and planning, and their standards for the level of service they provide. If you want a venue that combines charm, elegance AND exceptional service...look no further!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
