Venues & Event Spaces near Alamo, CA

“Came here for a wedding. Beautiful place. Wonderful staff and bar tenders. The dinner had a Filet Mignon, Salmon, and veggie option. The filet was probably, maybe the best I’ve ever had. Like budda! The salmon too!”

“Tawny and the events team at The Ruth Bancroft Garden made our wedding planning and special day a total joy! On top of just being incredible humans, they were supportive, highly responsive, and detail-oriented throughout the process. RBG was the first and only wedding venue we looked at -- it's just that good. Our buyout gave us the flexibility to use the entire garden and events space to create our 'Palm Springs Meets Northern California' wedding vibes. From our fall sunset ceremony in the garden to our EDM-inspired reception and dance party in their new and modern event hall, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend RBG if you're looking to host a a once-in-a-lifetime event. Thanks, Tawny and team!”

“My husband LOVES Pinot's Palette. If it's any consolation, he is the definition of a "manly man" and *loves* date night here.... So much so, that it's always his idea when we go! The art teachers have always been wonderful. My husband has ADHD, and he struggles to quickly follow and understand the artistic directions. He tends to need to stand up in the front and watch the teacher paint-- and ask a few questions in order to replicate. The teachers have always been very patient and kind and gently balance the class need and speed with what he needs as a more complicated student. Our art pieces have always come out well enough to hang on the wall. Overall, it's just a super fun date experience if your love language is quality time (like mine!).”

“I love the childcare and the workspace at Pillar! The childcare classes are small enough for the kids to each get individual attention along with learning the social skills needed prep wise for Kindergarten. The teachers are absolutely fantastic!The work space is amazing for both communal and individual work spaces. It is also well kept by the amazing and kind staff.As a working mom- this is an AMAZING combo.”

“This place was a fun opportunity with my friends and family! There is I think 4-5 exhibits the animal, the car, china, africa, and one more I forgot. You can also just buy tickets there if there isn't too many people that's what I did. But there was nice staff who let us in, and the place was clean and I mean clean! 10/10 will bring more people next time.”

“Outdoor mini golf course with 23 holes. It had a good variety of holes with different features and configurations. A couple unique designs I haven't seen anywhere else and it's fairly spread out so it was never busy and we didn't ever have to wait for another group to go before proceeding. It took about 30 mins for my kids to clear it, but the management didn't care that we went again and tried some of the games/challenges that were set up. Very reasonable price also.”

“We hosted our wedding at the gardens this year in October. It was a wonderful ceremony, and a wonderful space. Unfortunately, due to situations out of their control, we couldn't host the reception, but it was perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The venue does have required caterers, but the caterers are accessible for most price ranges. The people we spoke to were also very kind working with us and they kept in contact with us throughout the process. We highly recommend this as a beautiful space to celebrate the important events in your life.”

“I was a wedding content creator @girlypopbride at this wedding venue and it is beautiful! The ceremony space is like a secret garden and has one of the best layouts for the bridal entrance. The reception space is also really nice, especially with the draping added. There are lots of nature photo ops around the venue since it is at a golf club. I hope to be back here to shoot another wedding!”

“We had our wedding at Hacienda de Las Flores on 10/12/2023. It was the first and only venue we looked at - I knew right away it was perfect. I really did not want to have to source everything myself so finding a venue that provided it all was ideal for us. All we had to do was say yes or no and select which options we wanted.We chose the pavillion against the gate for the ceremony and the reception was the lawn. The only thing I will say is if you are all about having a lot of dancing at your reception and plan on having more than 100 people, the dancing area is inside and can be a little crowded. We had 115 total and people were more mingling than dancing so it wasn't a big deal for us. Sara was our day-of coordinator and she was amazing. She was professional and even bustled my train for me after the ceremony. She drove us to and from the ceremony site and the reception site in the golf cart so we didn't have to walk and did constant check-ins with us to make sure we were happy and everything was going smoothly. I have nothing but good things to say about the Wedgewood team and given the chance there's nothing I would change! The food was exceptional; everything was tasty and served warm. Guests were served in a timely manner (we opted for two course plated meals). We had several vegetarian and a few GF guests and WW came through for them by making sure they were provided for. The We went with the vendor provided for the cake and even though we only had one bite each it was amazing and beautiful. They advised us not to go with black icing as it would stain teeth so we went with the suggestion of black fondant instead for the outside of the cake. We also added on flowers from the provided vendor and we didn't see them until the day of but we were very happy with all the florals. Great job a Love is in Bloom!The only complaint I have is regarding the DJ which was the vendor provided by WW as part of our Elite package. We were told he would be reaching out two weeks prior but we didn't hear from them so I went ahead and sent out playlist with spotify links to all the songs. He called us THE DAY BEFORE the wedding and started asking us basic questions that I had already answered in the email. I told him we had already sent the spreadsheet (which was confirmed by the way) and he had me resend it and proceed to go through the songs and make unnecessary comments about our song choices. Fast forward to the next day, our wedding -he missed the cue for the walk back song and also messed up our first dance song three times by playing it at 3-4 times speed somehow. My husband had to walk over and tell him that it was playing too fast. My recommendation is that either the DJ vendor organize themselves better or WW tries a different vendor all together.”

“Great and affordable spot for weddings and events! Caring staff and spacious rooms. Friendly front desk workers and located right next to the police station for safety during your event!”

“This little ranch is a truly time saving place for the family photo on your busy schedule. It is not a big farm with all play amenities but it has all small scale of pumpkin patch activities such as hayes maze, tiny farm animals, steam train. The entry fees is very affordable however you will buy ticketa to enjoy various section of patch for activities. The mobile restroom and limited free parking spots are available.”

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience with the team at San Ramon Waters. Everyone was so helpful in making our big day go very smoothly. All of our family and friends were very impressed with the venue, the food, and most of all the service. We cannot say enough about Shelby who was our day-of coordinator. She guided us step by step in planning, answered all our questions, and made sure my wedding venue vision came to life.”

“Beautiful venue. Staff was excellent and the layout is great for midsized get together‘s weddings etc. large Trees provide ample shade for daytime events and the string of lights at night is magical”

“I enjoyed every single minute of the gallery artist work.Altho it's in a close space, they did a gr8 job overall. I believe art is about texture n the correct line that the inner of the art, should bring out the artwork from the middle outwards..Jus that's me anyways.I always carry some sugar n honey when I go to places that I never been b4. N in return, I get treated with highly gr8 respect n understanding of the nature.Respect goes a long way.”

“Since I came out, I've been coming to this bar and I have to tell you the staff here the shows the atmosphere the music it's absolutely stunning. I absolutely love it.. The shows are incredible. The drag performances are incredible. If you wanna laugh, make sure you come for the drag show if you like bingo then come for the bingo if you like karaoke then come for the karaoke and if you want to just come and chill get a drink relax and enjoy yourself. Absolutely. Can't wait to come back tomorrow and again and again and again love you guys.”

“Seriously, how can this beautiful walkable place where you can eat, sleep, or read not get 5-stars? It's only open for four hours during the day, but closed on weekends. Great property development plan. Magnificent views. Pride of ownership in Bishop Ranch area. Great area to walk your dogs or go jogging too. Bikers are here. It should be top standards and set example for beautifying America buildings with land. I was walking around taking photos of Autumn colors and stumbled across a decent market indoors and very cool dining place. Public restrooms available in hallways throughout building. Dining area open to public. Gym onsite. Sleeping area exists in the small library office area. People are professionals and friendly. They can add more foods/restaurants in future. Pizzas, tacos, sandwiches, salads, pastas, etc. are within reach. Quick bites look very decent and employees are happy & passionate about their jobs. Lots of foreigners too. Mature audience for sure. Perfect business lunch spot. Absolutely gorgeous views inside & outside. Lakeside Cafe is next door within walking distance. The place reminds me of working in Asia where food courts are usually downstairs from office buildings. Excellent vibes. Plenty of good tables & chairs. The market convenience store has excellent customer service. Extremely spacious and airy setting for employees and anyone visiting the area. It's quite hidden. Not many people know about this comfortable place to meet up with folks during the day. If they would open on weeknights and weekends, it would be flooded with all kinds of crowds. I absolutely love the environment here.”

“Nice clean facility with an outdoor area as well ....definitely liked the monument outside of the rifle and boots ...not sure if it's rentable to the general public but if so it would be a great place for an event/reception.”

“As a wedding photographer I work with many vendors but the Clubhouse at Boundary Oak stands out as one of the best in Northern Ca! The greens are beautiful and provide lovely backgrounds for photos. All of the food was exquisite and what impressed me the most was the ENTIRE staff! EVERYONE that works there is extremely professional and courteous (even to vendors).If you’re looking for a wedding venue in the Bay Area be sure to visit the Clubhouse at Boundary Oak!”

“I've been going to Diablo Ranch for over 40 years, worked with Kimmie for 15+ years! I've dealt with this person Rob before! This is a person who got rejected after coming down without speaking with Kim first! Packed up his dogs in his truck and drove to Walnut Creek, Ca! This new review about the drug riddled semi homelessness characters and stealing is such a horrible lie! Rob she told you No, back off leave her alone!! You're a creepy person Rob and stop lying about visiting the Ranch recently, you haven't been there since you were told to leave! Now back off and go screw with someone else's life!”

“We recently had my son's 5th birthday party here and had a wonderful experience. The staff take care of everything, which I wasn't expecting! And that included laying out table covers, having paper plates and napkins, checking guests in, receiving and bagging up gifts, distributing food, cleaning up. They were great with the kids and were so efficient in getting them from one place to the next! I received so many praises from the kids and from parents, many of whom said they didn't realize how amazing the relocated gym was. I highly recommend having a kids party here!”

“Kid-friendliness: My 8 year old daughter loves going to Back 40! Laid-back and fun environment for the whole family. Very accommodating, as we were delayed of our initial reservation time, but they called us to check-in while we were on our way, and they were able to seat us right away even though we were 30 minutes later than our expected arrival time.”

“CENTRE CONCORD PARTY HALL in concord, CA is very beautiful, spacious, great lighting, 400 capacity guests, great service, and respectful staff especially Jasmine. My 60th birthday party on August 20, 2022 was a blast with high class decorations. Most of all, the hall is open for party till 12:00am with one hour for clean up. I give them 100% satisfaction.”

“The Rossmoor Chamber Music Society performs at the Rossmoor Event Center to full houses. World-class professional string quartets, piano trios, quintets, are the staple events. We love it. Incredible music at great value.”

“Attended a coin show at the Elks Lodge, and the building was well maintained and functional. I enjoyed seeing posters and information about upcoming events, for members. It's made me want to become a lodge member so hopefully I will get a chance to visit the lodge again.”

“Love this cozy place. So welcoming. Nice little market with European wines, cheeses, meats and snacks. Can't wait to come back for a flight of wine and a nice charcuterie board.”

“A very good hall for your events, be it wedding, birthday celebrations or any other event. The fountain room is located inside the community center. The hall can occupy 250 people. They have sound system and a projector screen that you can use.”

“While I usually think of Hacienda de las Flores as a spot for weddings, it also works well for retreats. I was lucky enough that my former employer invited me to join the staff here for their June retreat. Lovely setting. I had a bit of walk from the parking lot, but enjoyed the beauty of the area on my walk. Facilities are very good. Appreciated having the umbrellas on the sunny patio area during lunch. Lots of nice lawn area for group activities. Since I was not involved in the planning, I have no idea on the costs. But assume it was reasonable enough that a nonprofit could book it for an entire day.”
