Venues & Event Spaces near Port Costa, CA

“Omg, what an amazing and super unique dining experience! If you haven't been to Port Costa in the East Bay and are game for a little off the traditional radar adventure, Bull Valley Roadhouse is such a fun alternative to anything but the ordinary. We chose to sit outdoors because the weather was so beautiful, highly recommend! There's a beautiful cocktail/mocktail/beer/wine menu, and they also do special Sunday drinks & brunch from 11a-3p. As for the dinner menu, our party chose to really go all out in honor of a few celebrations we had! We started with the deviled eggs, beef croquettes, fresh bread and honey butter, the Gentleman's relish toast, mac & cheese, and for the grand finale...we chose the largest beef shank I've ever seen served with broccolini and risotto. Everything was shared, and the shank was a $160 plate but split between our whole group, it was not only of epic proportions and extremely photo worthy, but was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and fun. Finishing with a chocolate caramel cookie, scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, and topped with chocolate whipped cream (so yum!), I literally was in pure culinary heaven. From the XO chili sauce on the deviled eggs (I asked for an extra side of this sauce to use for the rest of the meal), the crispiness of the croquettes and tenderness of the meat inside, the perfect runny egg atop the Gentlemen's toast, the most deliciously sweet honey butter, to the fall off the bone shank, perfectly salted risotto, broccolini crunch, and of course the creamy Mac n cheese (let it sit for a few minutes to harden)...honestly everything was so divine! From the attentive & friendly service to historical funky ambiance, this is just a spot you have to experience for yourself..can't wait to come back to try brunch on a beautiful day! Def worth the extra splurge for a bit of the weekend spontaneous urge..”

“Amazing dinner club where you can watch close up magic performed while you dine , then after dinner a full magic show on stage . Very nice way to spend a date night or an evening out. Decorated in Magic memorabilia & photos , j ust looking around the room itself is like looking into magic history. Delicious food & stellar service. A hidden gem in Martinez, don't miss this place next time you are looking for something to do on a weekend...”

“Amazing venue we were happy to provide para transportation to and from this location for a private event. The staff and onsite team were so supportive and impressive. We look forward to working with them again soon.”

“Just WOW - I really have no other word to describe what an incredible visit we had to Vino Godfather Winery on Mare Island in Vallejo. It should be noted that this place is historic, Mare Island was the first US Naval Base on the West Coast, established in 1854. My parents were stationed here in 1969 and I was born in a nearby hospital. For my 55th birthday I went back to visit and while looking around at the Colonial Style homes (base housing) from the 1900's, we happened upon Vino Godfather's Tasing Room. The tasting room is in one of the original officers mansions that has been so well taken care of, it's absolutely stunning. Vino Godfather has taken over the home and set up a gorgeous tasting room while also preserving the delicate interior and integrity of the original structure. Even if you aren't going for the wine, you must go for the history! Since we were there we decided to do a tasting and we were treated to such a special visit by Bennie "Joey." This man is a powerhouse and he managed to make us feel important by sharing his knowledge of the home and the wines so willingly, while also tending to all of the other guests in the home. We tasted all of the wines and ended up leaving with a bottle of 2021 Rose Demi Sparkling Wine and a bottle of 2018 Prohibition Tempranillo. We wanted to buy so much more but since we were visiting from out of state we decided to just stick with what we could drink before we left. If you're even thinking about making a visit to this place, do it! It was such an unplanned and unexpected surprise for us, and I'm so thankful that we just happened upon it! And while you're there make sure you check out the chapel at the end of the road. St Peter's Chapel is the oldest naval chapel in the United States and is known for its incredible collection of Tiffany stained glass windows.”

“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.”

“IMHOWe came here for a private event, a family baby shower. This venue is huge! Before entering the building, a nice security guard greeted us and gave us options to get to the second floor, either elevator or stairs. We chose the wooden stairs! The whole venue has a cool, rustic feel with its wood and brick facades. My first impression was that they must've just freshly varnished the entire floor because that's what it smelled and looked like. Thankfully the smell didn't overtake the venue. The floor looked great! LOLThe family did all the decorating and provided the food. There is a small kitchen to do prep work. In the back there is a long bar area and a small stage. Table and chair storage holders are big and cumbersome and can't be camouflaged during your event. Bathrooms were slightly dated but brightly lit. They should update their bathroom stall latches to something other than hook and eye closures. Overall, a nice spacious area for your event.”

“the beer is good BUT, it would be better if it were as cold as it is at Del Cielo a few blocks away or, at any of the other nearby bar/cantina/saloon establishments . . . ?on the other hand, it's nice that there's often a food truck outside and that they allow outside food, as it seems most most brew houses/local craft breweries do . . .”

“I had two of my Daughters in adrenaline hip hop class and they loved it. It was super easy to get them in class first time is free to see if you like it after that it's very reasonably priced. Gee Gee knows her stuff and teaches in such a way that my kids easily picked it up. Fun family environment she is great with kids of all ages. The website is really easy to navigate around and get what you need. Highly recommend this for you or your kids. You will not be disappointed”

“We were invited to a very large wedding reception. Wow can this place fit a few people. They have a stage that fit a full mariachi band. I don't know if the sound system is already at the venue or the band brought the sound system but it was loud as all hell in here. There was plenty of room for the dance floor and all of the tables for everyone to eat. Outside there are lovely gardens and seats for mingling inside and out.It was a beautiful wedding reception we attended. If you're looking for nice, simple venue for a receptions check this place out. Its in a quiet quaint little town. You may just like it.”

“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!”

“My wife and I wanted to have the wedding close to home and searched up 'wedding venues near Vallejo'. We found the Old Homestead. We spoke with Joanne and after seeing the venue + touring, we knew it was where we wanted to get married there.- Loved the hanging lights all throughout the yard- Venue is a good mix of indoor and outdoor. Very spacious. Our guests really loved the venue as well - You have the freedom to choose your own vendors without an outside vendor fee. - Joanne is very helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and will even have suggestions! - A big parking lot”

“When I first entered toots I thought it was rather small. I had no idea there was a back room for shows! The place is actually pretty nice and has ample space inside. Parking is a little tricky and the sidewalks are rather high as my friend fell off of one of them. I recommend this place for good shows and great gatherings'n”

“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.”

“Marc and team catered our wedding at the Brazilian Room, and we were extremely happy with both the planning process and the food/support on the day itself. The Arlington team are clearly pros at working in the Brazilian room - and had everything set up quickly and efficiently day-of - even though we had a shorter evening slot. The food was very good (especially the grilled salmon and pesto pasta) - everyone went back for seconds and we got many compliments! Marc was transparent and easy to work with throughout, and we thought pricing was reasonable compared to other vendors we looked at. Would highly recommend!!”

“It's been a long time since my last time in Allegro Ballroom, I used to go there every Sunday night about 20 years ago, lol, and I had a blast every single time, there were always a lot of good dancers attending and I used to dance the night. Tonight was my first time in its new location, and even it's a bit smaller than the older place, it is still a good place to go for dancing Salsa and Bachata in a Sunday night, with a little more people would be great, I'm going to keep going every Sunday, hopefully it gets better eith the time. I highly recommend this place.”

“It's an average movie theater the line for snacks is only one way in and out I'm guessing to prevent theft? The theater was clean and has comfortable reclining chairs.”

“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.”

“This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever throwing a event at the owner is absolutely the best she make sure you get everything that you need and she gives you her expertise very helpful and is best at her craft I plan on throwing more events here come check out dance unlimited you will not be let down?”

“The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina was the absolute perfect venue for our Daughter's November Wedding. From start to finish; booking, planning through the day of, Crystal, Maggie and Alma were the dream team! Though the couple chose to have a church wedding, Crystal worked with us and all vendors on the timeline and kept the reception moving along and the guests feeling welcome and happy. Fortunately, with beautiful weather the cocktail hour was held outdoors as planned, Crystal did have a contingency plan just in case, which eased any stress we would have had. Guests were amazed at the beauty of the property and convenient location and a few stated they look forward to hosting an event here! Our daughter and her new husband couldn't be happier with their most perfect day. Thank you Lighthouse staff!”

“I'm a 2024 bride and this review is for Ruva and Cynthia! My fiancé and I got engaged in June and we started quickly viewing venues. Weekend after weekend, we finally made it to tour at Hiddenbrooke! We probably went to 5 or 6 Wedgewood before meeting Ruva. Ruva has a calm demeanor and positive attitude, which we experienced during the initial meeting /tour of the venue she facilitated.We hit it off immediately and had common ground on so many things. She was one of the first coordinators to ask where we met and asked about things we liked/ disliked. Ruva is so personable and truly knows this business. After leaving the venue, we still had some questions and either Ruva or Cynthia responded through email or phone call, and they both gave us thoughtful answers and the security we we needed to move forward. The venue itself is so beautiful. The modern furniture and space is so classic. We know will have the best team with Ruva and/ or Cynthia there on our special day! I will update my review as my wedding planning process continues and takes place next summer!!”

“If you are a Carroll Shelby fan, you really need to stop by. Very well curated museum with plenty of roving docents to answer any and all questions you may have. From the humble beginnings of the AC Ace to the world beating GT40’s, this pace has it all. Well, almost all, I was hoping they’d have a 289 FIA, with the “suitcase” trunk but considering how rare they are, not surprised they didn’t. I was fortunate enough to see one down in Pebble Beach years ago. Overall a great visit, very friendly people and some awesome cars.”

“Only came once for some hotdogs and beer. The beer was cheep and cold and the hotdogs were hot and free! On their wall, they post a flyer where you can sign up for weekly text of all of their events. On the last Saturday of every month you can catch Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Club where they'll usually have pastries and hot coffee. If you're a veteran, I recommend signing up for FREE fly fishing instruction and outings!”

“Went there about 4 or 5 years ago to do a ghost hunt. The people that work at the hall were very friendly and welcoming. The hall has a wonderfull history and I would like to visit here again. I still wonder what those odd boxes with numbers on them built into the wall was used for, no one there knew.”

“Great place nice staff. Good deals on food and games. The only thing I didn't like was the music play list, the music is all Caucasian artist and I have been coming here for years it's the wrong crowd to play this music.”

“I booked my wedding reception here and so glad that I did pick this place. We had a blast on our wedding reception. Everyone love the food and the place. It was excellent experience with owner Paul and Christie the decor lady, she work with you and work on your wish. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

“Come and stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Richmond Berkeley and watch the Super bowl. all star bar manager Jovan is the greatest 10 stars for you. Thanks for excellent service.”

“I am not a member of the Elks Club. I came here on a Sunday afternoon to hear a band presentation by the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California. They put a concert on once a month featuring different bands. Admission for nonmembers was $12.00. Between sets, there was a jam session.The venue is spacious there is a dance floor and a full bar. They were also serving food. There is also a good-sized parking lot.Looking at the information I found it seems that you can rent the hall for events. If I was planning on a reception or some other event I would consider this venue.”

“We come to this fairgrounds to attend dog shows throughout the year since we first got into it. It’s a large open space with plenty of room and facilities to accommodate large crowds of crazy dog people. Bathrooms are dated, but functional. Plenty of parking, but be prepared to pay depending on how many days that you plan to attend. They do allow multiple entries at no extra cost which is a huge plus. There’s large areas for overnight parking for RVs, etc…. With available power and water.Special kudos to the parking and security staff…. I had left my back trunk open for several hours by mistake, but nothing was stolen. There’s always a nice and courtesy presence both inside the grounds and outside in the parking lot. We’ve always felt very safe and secure there.We’re looking forward to coming to the next show : )”

“This one is long overdue, but had to leave a review. BCC had me w their amazing views and the 1920s English architecture. But they really got me after we made a visit on site and we got to know Michelle. We also got married in March of 2021 in the midst of the Covid pandemic and I couldn't have been more grateful for Michelle and the team in being super understanding, accommodating, focused on safety and flexible. Fast forward to January 2022 and now we're expecting our first baby! What a year and glad to have chosen this venue to be a part of the start to our journey.”
