We held our wedding ceremony and lunch reception at the Terrace Room, and couldn't have been happier with the result. We went with the Madison room to better suite our party size and budget, and elected table service for food.
Planning: Candi and Byron were able to provide useful advice on what layouts and food options might be best, and the booking process was pretty straightforward. We were able to reserve slots for onsite meetings and tours, which made it easy for us to keep in touch and visualize the space accurately while planning. They also worked closely with us and our coordinators to make sure we were aligned on the schedule for the day.
Meal Service: Portions were way larger than we had expected, and felt like a good deal for the cost. Guests were able to select from 3 options (we chose beef, fish, or vegetarian), and lunch service went at a great pace. Their staff were very attentive and service of everything, from snacks to main plates to champagne, seemed to go exactly as planned.
Day-Of: Transitions between set up, the ceremony, lunch reception, and clean up felt super smooth. One of my favorite moments was walking down the aisle, and I distinctly remember seeing their team's happy faces when they waited to pull back the curtain to the entrance of the main room. Every interaction with their staff felt friendly and I appreciated how well organized they were.
Atmosphere: The space is gorgeous! Our guests loved seeing all of the details of the interior design, and Lake Merritt looked stunning through the windows that day. I also personally really enjoyed the atmosphere of the venue, which felt elegant and intimate, but also really bright and lively with all the natural sunlight coming through the windows.

Beautiful and open space overlooking Lake Merritt. Food was very tasty. They have bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary’s if you are into bottomless brunches.
Made a reservation but it isn’t super imperative you make one. We’re sat down right away and offered drinks.
Getting our food order in took a while. The waiter kept going around to every table and taking their orders and skipping some so definitely flag them down if your getting hangry. Other than that it was a good experience.

The view is great. It was a beautiful day. A very casual place with a laid back staff. Service was ok. I did enjoy the dungeness crab omelet and the potatoes were good, a couple of pieces were salty but probably not something most people would notice. Good lemonade too! My friends liked the smoked salmon benedict.

I just went and really enjoyed myself. Food was great and prepared nicely, the staff is laid back and personable. The hotel is beautiful and the dining area overlooks the lake. I went for brunch and am looking forward to dinner with a view!
