We were thrilled with every facet of our reception at the Stanford Faculty Club after having our ceremony at the Stanford Memorial Church. It was so easy to get to, and we achieved what we were looking for - a party with an atmosphere that was beautiful and elegant but also fun and easygoing. We have received numerous compliments from our guests and highly recommend the SFC for events. Diane Elcan in particular is a delight to work with.

The Stanford Faculty Club provided a complete Reception service - venue, catering, etc.

Was perfect. We could not have asked for more, or expected any more.

We ahd rave reviews from our guests regarding the wine and food. The service was perfect. The preparations were perfect.

The Faculty Club is so much better than having a reception at a local hotel there is NO comparison.

The coordinator and staff were very flexible and helpful, especially since I was coordinating this reception from abroad. They were able to make it as low stress and as enjoyable as possible.

The venue is beautiful; the price was unbeatable; the staff was incredibly kind.

We had some very particular dietary requirements for some of our guests, which they handled wonderfully.

This really was a fabulous wedding venue and very affordable. Diane Elcan, the manager of the Faculty club, has lots of experience and was very helpful with planning. The night-of manager also took great care of us - he brought us champagne, made sure we ate and generally kept everything moving.

Though brides may be nervous about the inside of the club from a looks perspective, once lighted and arranged with flowers, the entire interior transforms and looks truly beautiful and classy.
