“The perfect venue for my husband's Celebration of Life. Beautiful venue. , Bright, immaculate and spacious and a awonderful kitchen for my caterer to set up. Plenty of parking and easy access for disabled guests. Management was very nice to work with too. I would highly recommend this venue for your gathering.”
“If you can appreciate somewhere like Las Vegas on its own merits, you will enjoy your visit here. Seemingly a showcase for its founder's collection of kitsch pieces and facsimiles, plus some classic cars and Western artifacts. Also, there's a huge taxidermy collection in the basement. (Look out for the rhino.) Maybe the most American thing I've ever seen. The surrounding plaza feels like a mixture of golf club and strip mall. 5/5”
“it was an overall great experience!
we found this place accidentally, but so glad we did because they are so accommodating and so helpful for all of our needs! any wedding or event you need, they are so able to help. highly recommend!”
“Visited Bancroft Garden on June 25th and was pleasantly surprised. The weather was mild, and I had about an hour to wander through this small neighborhood garden.
The desert plant collection is the highlight — a really interesting variety of cacti and succulents, including several species and flowers I’d never seen before. Some were in bloom, which made the visit especially rewarding. The garden is compact but thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to enjoy without feeling rushed.
The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience.”
“It was a joy to have our wedding at the Gardens at Heather Farm!! The venue was absolutely gorgeous. Jenna was a great pleasure to work with -- she always responded promptly to my emails and questions, and she was so supportive and patient throughout the whole process. We wholeheartedly recommend the Gardens!”
“Fun local mini golf with other activities for adults and kids. We took our three young kids here and they had a blast! It wasn’t crowded and the holes and activities are all close so no long walking for the little ones.”
“Pillar is the perfect place to be for our family. As an employee of a fully remote company, I needed a place where I could work, be productive and know my daughter was being cared for. My daughter needed a place to learn, grow and socialize with other kids. Pillar has created an environment that accounts for the holistic needs of working families. And whether you’re a parent or individual working out of the co-working space or someone attending their onsite preschool, the thoughtfulness, intentionality and sense of community Pillar has created has made us feel happy and so grateful to be there.”
“Toyota Pavilion still makes it happen. Just saw Toto, Men at Work and Christopher Cross. The sound was great. Concessions have good food and variety of drinks. My only complaint is the attendants who stand around talking and block the walk ways.”
“We did a tour of Redwood Canyon with Jacoby and absolutely loved her. After scheduling, she reached out to confirm the appointment and gave helpful directions. At the appointment itself, she was a wealth of knowledge and struck the right balance between sharing information and giving us time to take in the space.
While we ended up chosing another venue due to availability of dates, I absolutely would have loved working with Jacoby. She came across as passionate about celebrating love and highly capable. You're in good hands working with her!”
“Beautiful Venue! I attended a wedding here with my wife a couple weeks ago and the venue and grounds were amazing. You feel like you are in the middle of no where but are in the middle of a neighborhood. Lots of rules to follow but they staff makes up for it. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the venue was stunning.”
“The ceremony area is really close to the venue so if it’s too cold or hot outside it’s easy to go in and take pics. I liked how the sound with the venue DJ can be used and heard outside without being seen during the ceremony.”
“We recently had my daughter's 16th birthday party here at Pinot Pallette. It was Soo great! Will did an AMAZING job as the art instructor with his funny banter with the teen girls and his phenomenal art expertise. Each girl was Soo focused and Soo pleased with how each of their individual canvas paintings turned out. This was the Perfect birthday celebration for my daughter's Sweet 16! Thank you Soo much to Anna (owner) for her guidance on scheduling everything. Highly recommended!”

“One of my go-to's for matinee movies. Clean, no big lines and easy to navigate. If you haven't already, definitely download the app. It'll get you through a little faster”
“Having our wedding at Shadelands Historical Ranch and Museum was amazing. The venue itself is gorgeous, with incredible colors from the emerald lawn and giant trees to the explosion of roses around the gazebo! Our wedding was in May and all the flowers were in bloom, it was like a page from a storybook with hummingbirds and butterflies out and about enjoying the day too. Our guests kept raving about how beautiful and picturesque it was.
Christine and Jackie made it a very stress-free experience. We had a morning wedding with a group of about 80 guests, along with a buffet table, mobile barista, DJ and sound system, and plenty of room for our three photographers to easily maneuver to get their shots. (Will update later with some professional photos when those arrive!) The venue provides chairs and various sizes of tables all arranged to your liking, we requested that the lawn seating be set up for the ceremony and for the tables to be set up around the edge of the patio area and they had everything set up exactly how we envisioned, so all we had to do was come in and decorate. Event insurance is required, along with multiple contacts on hand. Contract and rates are very straightforward. While the magnificent trees cover a large portion of the grassy area, would recommend bringing your own canopies with weights if you plan to set up tables within the paved area. Overall a grand experience with the venue and welcoming staff.”
“Great place for lunch. Each person can eat the food he likes, clean and beautiful seating. When done, go to the coffee shop in the next building for good coffee and nice seating near the lake.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary there last night!!! I loved the atmosphere! The staff was super welcoming!! I ordered the Diablo cut with garlic mashed potatoes & creamed corn with a ceasar salad. I swear I could eat that creamed corn everyday!!! Sooo good. All the food was excellent even the bread and 2 kinds of butter was so delicious! The reason for only 4 stars was because I was looking forward to having a martini!! I left my car at work and made arrangements to get a ride home. I had 2 prickly pear blood orange martinis and felt nothing!!! Not one slight buzz what-so-ever!! That was super disappointing especially because its not cheap!!!! I will still go back there though but I think I will stick to the wine list (which is extensive) and stay away from weak martinis!!!”

“I have been going to this bowling since I was a child, over 40 years. I went this past Friday to wait for myso who was there with a group event. It hadn't changed at all except the equipment was updated. The bar was a joke, crowded, dirty, very understaffed but cheap. I don't drink so it was really my friends problem. The whole bowling alley was packed and for an institution to be in business as long as this one has is proof that something is going right (just not that bar!).”

“When we initially toured this venue, it checked of all of our boxes for what we were looking for in a venue. We really appreciated the layout and how it wasn’t the typical ballroom ceremony/ reception environment. It was more of a whimsical outdoor garden vibe, which we loved! There were different areas in the venue where guests can hang out and explore and it wasn’t strictly just the dance floor.
The only challenges we had with Wildwood were some of the communication with Lien (owner). Some things were unclear at times and it was very difficult to get outside vendors approved. Her preferred DJ abruptly quit on us a month before our wedding and she was really pushing on having us book her other preferred DJ, who we were not very interested after talking to him. We understand the precaution of wanting professional vendors on site, but the process of even getting professional outside vendors wasn’t very smooth.
However, Dan and Lien (owners) did rise to the occasion when our wedding coordinator failed to show up at our rehearsal. Dan confidently and clearly led the rehearsal and he was so kind and patient to us and our wedding party, especially when we were feeling pretty stressed with the wedding coordinator not showing up. The wedding coordinator was supposed to collect our items (favors, programs, etc) to set up for the next day, and Dan and Lien were very kind and let us store them in the clubhouse that night, which is typically is not allowed, so we appreciated them accommodating us with that!
Their staff on the day of was also amazing! They all looked pretty young, but they were so professional and kind. Our guests also loved the dog!”
“Great new east european store! Very good selection, and not overpriced like others.
Service was absolutely fantastic - Lana was very helpful with suggestions and even wanted to help carrying my bags to the car. The "cherry on the cake" for me as the Ukrainian flag in their window - I will always support local business that supports Ukraine! ??”

“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!”

“The staff at CCCC is amazing. From the first interaction with Melanie to join to the ENTIRE bar staff for post-round cocktails and of course the pro shop that is always helpful. We have had the best experience at Crow.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Great place to golf if you're a member or like me. Have a friend that is nice enough to bring me along. Appreciate you, D tremendously. Beautiful fun challenging course.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This review is for the tennis club. Very nice set up. The club is built into the side of a hill with a raised viewing gallery and bar to watch matches below. The courts are in great shape!”
