Venues & Event Spaces in Walnut Creek, CA

“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.”

“I love this place. I’ve been there a couple of times with my girls and we had a great time. When it was time to plan my daughter’s 7th bday I decided to do it at putters. It was easy, low stress, and everyone had fun. Beyond the party area, and even the mini golf- there’s corn hole, ping pong, some basketball,
And more! Sean, the owner is a rally nice guy and just made things easy. I recommend this place if you just want a little fun on a weekend or evening to play some mini golf or for a kids party. Doesn’t get easier than putters!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Didn't go inside I only had an overnight stop. I appreciate being an elks member however this time I didn't get to meet the fine folks of walnut creek.”

“We had a amazing experience at this place for our wedding such a warming experience.
Angelique was outstanding helpful with such a nice attitude in fact all people who help us along the way we really recommend this place truly amazing and the sunset no words to explain such a beautiful afternoon.”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“I found my new go-to place. This golf course is laid out like a country club, with no streets running through it and not much OB. Fairways were well tended. Greens were well cared for and consistent, and they have a great uphill driving range. I was walking but a lot of people take carts. Pretty slow play on the back nine, but maybe that’s because I like to play on Sunday afternoon.”

“They do a really good job on the food here at The greenery restaurant. The staff is great. Always checking in. They make great drinks from the bar. It's just a little noisy, especially when you get all the hot thirsty golfers, throwing beers back and talking loud about their golf games”

“I had a wonderful experience here! We came in last Friday night to see Super Mario, and the service was absolutely top-notch. I want to give a special shout-out to a staff member named Michael (I believe that was his name).
He went above and beyond to help my family and me, paying close attention to the small details and handling our food order with so much care. It’s rare to find someone so attentive and genuinely helpful in a busy theater environment. His kindness really made our family night special.
The theater itself was great, but the service is what will bring us back. A huge thank you to the team and especially to Michael for the fantastic hospitality!”

“We stayed for the second time In a year. Our room, 226 was fine up until the last day/night when the bathroom sink had slowed up to drain out ( we did not rinse dishes with food on them..gross. only for brushing teeth) . We also had a wi-fi issue with the connection after we signed in, that was ANNOYING and my husband was irritated. We did not have a problem on our last stay, hence the 3 star rating.Walkability: There are walking trails nearby. One trail, IronHorse trail will take you to downtown if you are willing to walk a little over 2 miles to reach some outdoor shops, restaurants.”

“Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was nice, but a little dated. The pool was good, but the jets in the hot tub didn't work too well. The elevator near our room was out of order. Breakfast was good.”

“I have stayed at this hotel multiple times before, but a few things were in need of an improvement.

The last time I stayed at this hotel, the fitness center sprung a leak while I was working out. Since then, it has been remodeled. That's the good part. Since the remodel, there are no ellipticals in the fitness center. This is standard in any hotel gym anywhere. Why this gym decided to have three treadmills and no ellipticals is beyond me.

Secondly, the fitness center does not open until 7:00 a.m.. that makes literally no sense, early risers and people traveling on business want to get their exercise in early in the day.

They will sometimes let you in early, but only if the maintenance people are on staff. If they are not, you have to wait.

Also, this hotel still does not have all of its floors with TVs that can support apps such as Netflix. That's pretty standard these days.

Additionally, they got rid of the valet parking that was used in 2024. In 2025, they said that the valet parking was coming back. In 2026, and still has not come back. The underground garage is terribly laid out, and many of the spots too small to support SUVs or minivans.

The hotel is literally right next to Pleasant Hill BART station. That part is convenient. The train goes right by some of the rooms. I would say the windows block out 90% of the noise though.

Also, this is a cash-free hotel. There are QR codes around the hotel which will allow you to tip electronically. Unfortunately, if you failed to look at the employee's name tag, you (were they) are out of luck.

If you prefer to tip in cash for housekeeping or drinks, etc. that means they cannot break a bill at the front desk.”
