The Palm Event Center in the Vineyard is a contemporary private winery estate located in the heart of Livermore Valley Wine Country. Nestled against rolling hills and set amongst 110 acres of vineyards, this venue has plenty of picturesque views and photo-op spots. The star is the Palm's sprawling palm tree-lined driveway - which makes for an impressive entrance to the property.
Featuring ample outdoor space and views, guests will truly feel as if they are in wine country. The venue allows for couples to choose an indoor or outdoor ceremony and accommodates up to 350 guests in the Ballroom for a reception. Spacious enough for big guest parties, but cozy enough for smaller ones, the Ballroom features a stunning wall of candles as a focal point for the head table. In addition, wine barrels and tea light candles are carefully placed amongst the rooms to give it a romantic glow.
The outdoor ceremony lawn features a 180-degree view of the vineyards as couples say "I Do." There is also outdoor patio space for cocktails or s'mores later in the evening.
In booking the Palm, you will receive a beautiful property to get married at, as well as award-winning catering, and day-of event coordination services. Their inclusive packages feature an elegant wedding menu, 4.5 hours of full bar service, an event coordinator to handle all the logistics, and everything needed to host your wedding meal service (tables, chiavari chairs, dinnerware, glassware, flatware, linens, etc.). It is the perfect place to host your guests as you say your vows.
We are an LGBTQ+ friendly business. We are an inclusive space.
The Palm Event Center was the perfect venue we could've picked out! Our coordinator was kind, super helpful and professional, the food was fantastic (we got raving reviews after our wedding), and it was incredibly beautiful even with minimal decorations. Reviewed on 28-11-2023

Absolutely love working with Casa Real! Lexi and Carly were a true dream to work with and make sure our events were set up for success. This team goes above and beyond and truly makes sure their clients are taken care of throughout the entire planning process and on event day! The execution was seamless, the food and drinks are exquisite and they also do a great job taking care of all of the vendors involved which isn't the case at many other bay area venues! If you are looking for an event space, I would 10/10 recommend hosting at Casa Real or Palm Event Center!! Reviewed on 25-11-2023

After consideration of many wedding venues in the Bay Area, my partner and I are very pleased with our choice of the Palm Event Center with its wonderful staff! We wanted a venue that was beautiful, accessible to our family living in the area, spacious, and could package in more support so we wouldn't have to worry too much or have to hire a wedding coordinator. The Palm Event Center delivered in all accounts above.They are a very experienced group when it comes to weddings and have their process well-templated to support couples from the beginning when viewing venues all the way through the big day. We were very pleased to have been able to work with Tammy Cheng as our coordinator, who may have been one of the only Asian American venue coordinators on their team. Tammy guided us through the planning process in great detail and we also felt very understood and supported by her given her awareness of our cultural needs of having a mixed Western/Chinese/Taiwanese/Christian wedding ceremony and reception. We will miss her so much! The team was always very responsive and communicative via email, phone call, and in-person visits.While the package can be pricey (it includes open bar, catering, venue rental, etc.), we thought it was fair considering the amount of care and experience they put into their wedding experience and we don't regret our decision at all. The venue itself is a very large and spacious one and has a number of venues that they work closely with, including Fantasy Sounds, which provides epic lighting and drapery. Given how big the ballroom is, there is a lot of space and creativity that can go into the decorations. All of our guests were wowed by the venue space and we got many compliments about the venue's food and drinks (e.g. \"we were full from just the appetizers alone because it was so delicious,\" \"I tried all their featured cocktails - they're so good\"). During the tasting, all of the pork options were disappointing unfortunately, but the salmon and beef short-rib that we chose for the event were highly praised by us and our guests. We also did not find any of the cakes during the tasting to be very good either, but that could be because I grew up with Chinese sponge, fruit cakes.Some things to consider - the bridal suite/getting ready room for the women is rather small and isn't as pretty or spacious as the Casa Real's. Our photographer said it was too small to get any good shots in there, so it was a good thing we planned for most of our getting-ready photos at the Airbnb nearby. The \"getting ready room\" for the groomsmen isn't so much of a room, but rather the lounge corner of the ballroom.I highly recommend the Palm Event Center if you are looking for a large venue in which you want to put in more decorations for a beautiful wedding, want extra wedding planning support from a knowledgeable team and a venue that can offer more in their package including in-house catering, and need a large space to account for a larger guest count (100-300). If you are looking to cut down costs, it'll be hard to do here. We were very impressed by the Palm Event Center and are so happy that this was our venue! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

We had our wedding at the Palm Event Center in early June of this year and it truly was the absolute best day! From the beginning, the Palm was so easy to work with and made planning the wedding so effortless. They were quick to respond to emails or questions and executed everything perfectly the day of. As you get closer to the wedding date, you have a venue coordinator that is extremely helpful in organizing everything for the big day. The entire staff is so nice and kind and many of our friends/family even commented after of how kind the all of the venue staff were and how organized and on-top of everything was. The venue is also absolutely gorgeous! The surrounding vineyards, lush gardens, and renewed interior are stunning and our guests had nothing but positive things to say about how beautiful the venue was. Lastly, the food was absolutely AMAZING. If you are looking for amazing food from appetizers to late night snacks for you and your guests, this is absolutely the place! They also were so kind to place all the food and drinks on our sweetheart table so that we didn't have time to spend looking for appetizers or drinks, everything was right there for us to enjoy after visiting with our guests. Because they do weddings/events all the time, everything was so flawless, which allowed us to have a beautiful, stress-free, and truly perfect wedding day. We would 10/10 recommend the Palm Event Center to anyone looking to have an amazing wedding day from start to finish! Reviewed on 28-09-2023

We had our wedding in December so the vines were pretty much bare, but still made for a gorgeous backdrop with the east bay hills. The entrance is grand. Our indoor ceremony and reception went by so smoothly with the help of the included planning team, day-of coordinators and an excellent roster of preferred vendors.

Christina and Dom Bavilacqua(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2022 We had our dream wedding at Palm Event on a warm, golden evening in October. The grape leaves were still green and the rose bushes were in full bloom! After finding this venue, we realized later that Palm Event Center is one of the highest rated wedding venues on Yelp (via Daily Meal). Don't do anymore research if you're looking for an organized, beautiful, breath-taking venue,.We booked our wedding on a Thursday evening and from the day we put down our deposit, we were treated like royalty. Our coordinator, Genevieve, (shout-out to the most amazing person and best coordinator in the world!!), was organized, friendly, funny, kind and relatable. We met on Zoom for our check-ins, so no need to travel to Pleasanton. Then we had our FABULOUS food and wine tasting at the venue. Let me just say - all our our guests RAVED about their dishes on the day of the wedding. They couldn't say enough of how delicious, fresh, and wonderful their meal was. Then we treated our guests with a late night snack - pizza! It was truly perfect. Palm Event offers open bar, with a full well. We also designed signature cocktails and brought cases of Red Bull for our guests. Whenever we had questions, the team responded within 24 hours and were flexible about decor and desserts. All vendors have to provide insurance and we also bought couple's wedding insurance for the day of. Our rehearsal went without any hitches and Genevieve adjusted quickly and thoughtfully! She honestly made our day so enjoyable and stress-free.On the day of the wedding, there were some details that I wanted to change last minute with the decor and the team quickly adjusted to make our day perfect. I cannot recommend their team and kitchen staff enough! The best moments of our experience were high-quality service from the staff, beautifully maintained venue and winery (I mean the palm tree entrance itself is WOW), and the amazing food and drinks!

Kat Averion(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2022 My wife and I came across The Palm right here on The Knot. They are one of three venues that we reached out to, but after we came in for a tour, we were 100% sold. Nicole and Jasmyn were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are so on top of their game and made planning so much easier. We couldn't have asked for a better venue manager or day-of coordinator. Not to mention, all except for one of our vendors came from their preferred list. If you want a venue and a team that will take care of you, especially for an occasion as important as your Big Day, you will not be disappointed. Have peace of mind knowing that this is practically an all-inclusive venue with catering and a day-of coordinator. You can hold both your ceremony and reception in one place with options of indoor and/or outdoor. In-house wedding cakes are also an option. Their food, dessert, and beverages are top notch as is their service. Do not hesitate for one second to reach out to them. You will be so happy that you did. Reviewed on 02-09-2022
Zach Yuen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2022 tl;dr The Palm is a popular venue for good reason, and while it may be a little pricey, we thought it was well worth it and felt well taken care of for our wedding. We would highly recommend it to any people looking to get married here!My wife and I got engaged in December 2020 in the thick of the COVID pandemic and began looking for a venue in March 2021. We saw that the Palm Event Center (and its sister site, Casa Real), were very popular amongst wedding sites and decided to give it a try. The team was very responsive and we were able to book a tour relatively quickly.The tour was fantastic and it seemed that they really knew what they were doing. Because many weddings were delayed, there was very little availability, and so we had to pull the trigger on a date nearly 12 months in advance.Once we reserved the date, it was fairly smooth sailing from there. The team was very responsive and helpful in guiding us to what we needed to do. In fact, they even helped push one of our vendors when we felt like we weren't getting the right communication and support required to move forward.One great thing that is included with the package is a \"day-of\" wedding coordinator. Tammy Cheng was assigned to us and worked with us for several weeks before our actual wedding day. She helped get us the right information and guided a lot of our planning to make sure that we were prepared for the day.Tammy ran the rehearsal, which was the day before our wedding, and both ourselves and our pastor was so impressed. She took charge and explained exactly what we needed to do, how to do it, and when we needed to do it. The rehearsal was incredibly quick and efficient, and we felt very well prepared for the big day.Finally, on wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. She had everything out exactly as we wanted it, and was able to corral all of our guests for the various changes in the day (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, extras, etc). We felt no stress during our entire day and were able to enjoy our wedding.One downside about this venue as a whole is that it is a little pricey, and there are certain vendors that are required. They have some pretty aggressive minimums for the weekend, with Saturday being the highest price. We opted to have our wedding on Sunday, and so while we did have some lower minimums, we found that many of our guests had to leave early for school/work/travel.Regardless, we would still highly recommend the Palm and Tammy Cheng to any new couples looking to get married here!

Amanda Nichols(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-12-2018 When my now husband and I first started looking at Palm Event Center for our wedding, we were in total awe of the images we found on their website and of other's weddings we found online. When we visited in person, it was even more breathtaking than we thought. They specialize in weddings and truly, it shows - the venue is a showcase in romance and the staff knows quite literally everything there is to know about weddings. They handle most things in-house: the venue spaces, day-of coordination, food/beverage, tables/linens/chairs/place settings, etc. It was so wonderful to have one vendor who took care of so much. I also cannot say enough about Casey, our day-of coordinator, and the Palm staff. They are efficient, kind, fun to work with and they know how to answer any and all crazy bride questions you may have! :-) Our guests still haven't stopped talking about how beautiful romantic, and fabulous our venue was.

Kriselle Farrales(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 We had high expectations when we locked down the Palm Event Center for our wedding day reception; Palm exceeded our expectations by a mile! From the minute we booked our event and all through the last minute of our reception, their staff treated us like VIP’s; they were very detail-oriented, returned emails within 24 hours, and were extremely professional throughout the entire process! Every meeting had extremely clear communication; every question we threw at them had a great response. We also should stress that we did not have ONE SINGLE WORRY on our wedding day; everything ran as smoothly as we could have imagined! Every single detail was great, from the table set-up, to the food, as well as the atmosphere! This especially could not have been possible without the amazing help of Casey Hahn; she was the brains behind the operations. Casey ensured that our timeline went as planned. We also know that Casey is an extremely caring individual; she consistently reminded us to have fun and to soak it all in. Thank you so much to Casey & the Palm Event Center for helping make our marriage the best day ever. One final note, we attended eight weddings this year, and ours was regarded as “The Wedding of the Century”; this should be a testament to what an amazing venue this is and team the Palm Event Center has to offer. They will be more than capable of exceeding your expectations. Reviewed on 03-12-2018

We got married at the Palm on 10/26/2018 and it was the most amazing day, thanks to the venue. The event center itself it beautiful, the food was amazing, the service was 5 stars, and even more importantly, the Event Coordination team is incredible!

Jeffrey Gunawan(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 To begin with: Jade, thank you! Out of the several people that have incredibly helped us from the start, you were the first that my wife and I reached out to, and you were nothing short of amazing. To those in preparation for your big day and in search of a venue... don't let it come to surprise that Palm has a wedding or two almost every week throughout the year. In our eyes, this isn't just a venue that is attached to a winery. This might as well be on it's own island as a destination wedding location. As you turn into their driveway, an abundance of palm trees serves as the grand entrance into the area. How stunning is that? Okay, let's get to the juicy stuff. A lot of vendors were involved for our September wedding. It is impossible to choose who and which were our absolute favorite. Simply put, we love them all. However though. After a few seconds of thinking it through, there is one person that really helped us to 1) calm our nerves and 2) organize all the pieces together so well. Jenny, you are our MVP (Most Valuable Planner). From major to minor details concerning anything about the wedding, you made it effortless and easy for us to plan everything and anything. There is so, SO much that we would love to thank you for and include in this review, but that would take up way too much space (and reading)! Bottom line, Jenny and the entire staff and team at Palm... there is no one word or describe to describe how truly astounding you all are. From the bartenders to the servers to those that cleaned up at the very end of the evening, you created the perfect wedding that we didn't think could be possible. The outcome went beyond what we initially envisioned and we could not have achieved any of it without each and every one of you.Ps: Jenny, remember your comment about having personalities like 12 year-old boys? It's very apparent that Karen and I acted JUST THAT during our day! Thank you everyone!!! Reviewed on 30-09-2018
Florence Zimmerman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2018 There are not enough words to describe how happy my husband and I are about the decision we made to celebrate the most special day in our lives at Palm Event Center! We initially found the venue on Instagram, and fell in love with its jaw dropping palm tree entry and beautiful reception room. When we came to visit the first time, right away we knew this was the place. The venue is truly stunning - from its spacious ballroom, romantic estate room with wine barrels all throughout, and the beautiful terrace area that allows you to look over the Pleasanton/Livermore vineyards, we knew this was our place. Throughout our entire planning process, we always felt completely supported by them. Jessica was our primary contact, and she made a very overwhelming event extremely manageable and executed to perfection! She thought of the smallest details I would have overlooked, and on the day of my wedding, she was so attentive, always making sure my husband and I had what we needed and more. She even took the reigns on helping my bridesmaids bustle my wedding gown in. She went above and beyond! I had very high expectations from each of my vendors for the wedding, and Palm Event Center absolutely exceeded every single one of them. If you have doubts, do not hesitate! Palm was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding, and if I could do it all over again I would hands down pick them! Outstanding service, great food, stunning venue - I truly felt like a princess that day! Thank you so much Jessica, Jade and your entire team for the most amazing event. We keep receiving compliments on the venue up to this day and we owe all the credit to you! Will always recommend our future married friends to come to you. All our love, Florence & Billy.

Asterio Cayabyab(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-02-2018 I recently got married here in February. When my husband and I first walked into the palm we immediately fell in love with it. It was the first venue he said \"wow I really like this place\". Although it was out of our budget it was a no brainer that we HAD to get married here. The whole planning process was amazing!! I worked with Casey and the manager Jade. They were very responsive and helpful through out the whole process. They invite all winter couples to 1 food tasting and it was so hard for us to choose our menu because everything was delicious! To top it off my family complimented how good the food was and how full they were. You hear many stories about couples not being able to eat on their wedding day but that was not the case with us. My tummy was very happy and I was super full. What was nice is after the ceremony, they had a cart set up just for the bridal party to ensure we were able to have appetizers. The staff was very courteous they would check in with us asking if we needed anything. I remember standing at the alter taking photos and 1 staff member came up to us with a glass of water asking if we were thirsty. Can you say amazing service!! The other thing I really enjoyed is they do a vendor showcase and you are able to bring 10 guests! You get to try a lot of their items from their late night snacks and meet their preferred vendors. During the planning process we found out we were pregnant and I would be 6 months pregnant on our wedding day. We discussed postponing the wedding for another year but we decided to just go through with it. I was worried about the stress and being tired and not enjoying my self on the wedding day. I am SO glad we did not postpone. Casey is really on top of her stuff. The follow through and email reminders helped a lot. The day before the wedding I asked her a question and her response was \"Have I ever let you down? Don't worry we will take care of everything\" And sure enough her statement could not be more true. She did not let me down at all! She was sooo attentive on the wedding day and did everything to ensure things went smoothly with the help of Jessica. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Casey!!! My family, friends and vendors were complimenting how great she is.

Sam Molmud(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-01-2018 Saying you had the greatest, most effective, emotional, happy and solid wedding ever may be cliche. But for our recent wedding at Palm Event Center - not only can we say we had our dream wedding - but nearly all our guests were overflowing with praises about the venue, staff and how this was one of the most \"epic weddings\" they've ever attended. From the beginning, Nicole helped us isolate and put together the perfect package to help form the foundation for our wedding. The cost was extremely competitive and even lower than other vineyards in the Bay Area - and for the mostly all-inclusive, open bar and dining package, as well as the beautiful barrel room for the ceremony - our dollar went more than 10x farther than it would go at any other venue. As we selected vendors and completed timeline and guest counts, Jade kept things extremely well-oiled, and was quickly attentive, accurate and on the ball when it came to helping us keep things on time and organized. Throughout the actual planning, bringing together vendors, drafting up timelines and laying out the ceremony + reception, we were extremely fortunate to be paired up with Casey as our coordinator. A guardian angel doesn't even come close to saying what she did for preparing our wedding day. The day-of couldn't have gone smoother and Casey held every little detail together, kept our enormous party on schedule and stepped in to dot I's and cross T's where we would never have even thought of or remembered.The entire staff at PEC deserves all the recognition in the world for being the greatest wedding team ever.

The Palm had just what we were looking for in terms of our vision and our budget. The inside of the venue is GORGEOUS (not much decorating needs to be done), and we used their beautiful Estate Room/barrel room for our ceremony. The outside grounds are equally as lovely and made for some excellent photo opportunities. The costs per person included a lot (food, tableware, beverage, etc), which was helpful in that we weren't sure if we were going to have 125 guests or 175 guests.\r\rAnd the staff of the Palm were so incredibly helpful during the entire process, from start to finish.

They are responsive to questions anytime and make the process easy when keeping you on top of deadlines. They do require approval for vendors (if you don't use their preferred vendors), some may find that tough, but I think that shows how much they care about their reputation. You want to work with a venue that upholds class and #1 service. I did not have any issues with any of my vendors that were not preferred. Our wedding coordinator for the day was Samantha. There are no words to describe how awesome she is. She is organized and makes you-the bride- feel at ease, every single moment. I couldn't ask for a better coordinator!!!

Having searched Carmel and Livermore valleys for the perfect winery setting we were beginning to think our entire budget was going to be blown on the venue alone, and yet we hadn't even found anything that fit the rustic, surrounded by barrels and vines look we were going for.\r\rThen we heard the price, $80 PP (on a Friday or Sunday) including open bar, food, and an overflowing appetizer table?

The appetizer table that they included is more than enough food for guests! Instead we chose to have grilled cheese and french fries passed after a couple of hours of dancing! This may have been one of my favorite touches at the wedding!\r\rOn our wedding day we arrived during cocktail hour (offsite ceremony) and my coordinator (Alison - love her!) was waiting outside ready to sweep us into the bride room where a tray of appetizers and our signature cocktails plus wine and champagne was ready to follow us around while we took pictures. I've been to weddings where the bridal party comes in to cocktail hour after pictures just STARVING! This was SUCH a great touch and everyone loved it! Then we had several add ons and cancellations (more than normal I think) and Alison was on it. No problem, let us know where to add a seat.\r\rWhen my ring bearers family had to leave before dinner (the kids wouldn't sit still) the waiter overheard them and offered to pack up their dinner to go!

Their pre-set packages are a great start (and include open bar!), and they're more than willing to customize any way you'd like.

I also surprised my husband and guests with a late-night treat of mini churros and vanilla ice cream (2 of his favorites) and it was a big hit!\r\rThe venue: We didn't do much to decorate the ballroom because in our opinion, it didn't really need it! We added on Palm's uplighting along the walls for more light, as well as a beaded chandelier over the dance floor from Fantasy Sound. Some low floral centerpieces, and we were good to go. We loved the simple, elegant look.\r\rThe night-of: Molly was our day-of coordinator, and did an excellent job! She kept things moving along, but we never felt rushed.

The day of the wedding went smoothly despite my last minute changes and minor issues that came up during the reception. He handled each and every one with aplomb and I was truly a stress-free bride. My guests loved the venue, the food (AWESOME) and the very professional staff.\r\rI would loved working the Palm Event Center and its professional staff and I would not hesitate to recommend to prospective brides and in fact, I have already done so.

Stella Abad(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2012 Everyone at the Palm Event Center was extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. They were professional, responsive and flexible in every way I could have asked.\r\rFrom the beginning, we were able to get exactly what we wanted and were walked through the process very well. We were invited to special events with their preferred vendors to get ideas and find vendors (although they had no problem with the vendors we found that they had never worked with before - even my brother as our officiant!) They also had a lot of the \"extra\" food options that we could choose to add to our event.\r\rWe were also treated to a wonderful tasting event with other couples who were getting married in a similar time frame. They gave us all the options that we could choose from, and were very flexible about the exact menu items. We wanted to have a special menu item for certain family members that was vegan and didn't include certain vegetables, and they were more than accommodating, even though it meant we needed 4 different options. They did not charge extra for this. The food the day of the wedding was amazing. They also made our specialty cocktails wonderfully, and everyone was impressed by all the appetizers and dinner.\r\rMonique and Clay were our main contacts, and they would respond almost immediately, took the time to answer all our questions and made sure that everything was in place leading up to the event. They had many suggestions that worked out wonderfully, and Monique was our day-of coordinator and made sure everything was flawless. She oversaw the placement of our table setup including the menus, table markers and chocolates to make a perfect table. She also kept us on track and breathing for all the various parts of the ceremony and reception.\r\rI can't thank everyone at Palm Event Center enough for making our wedding day perfect. I recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect venue for an event. Reviewed on 16-09-2012

Throughout the wedding process I've only heard good things about them and I myself, have experienced the best of the best by booking with them. \rBrides - look no more, book with Palm and you will not regret it. You will love Monique Bogni! Shannon McGrail is fantastic as well. Reviewed on 06-08-2012

Sara Springer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-02-2012 We have to admit it was difficult initially getting into the Palm Event Center for a tour. But we found out the reason why… everyone wants to get married there. They have a full schedule and it’s better to not have a specific date in mind unless it is far enough in advance. We figured out how we could do our wedding there on our budget and were very excited that we could hold it in a new, modern but warm environment. Besides their outdoor option, they have a beautiful ceremony room warmly lit and surrounded by wine barrels which we liked because we chose to do a winter wedding. \r\rOur best decision was opting for a day of coordinator. Clay ran our rehearsal and wedding day seamlessly. As a bride, I felt that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was important to us that we didn’t have to worry about our schedule and our vendors. We just wanted to be told where we were supposed to go or what we needed to do next that way our energy could be spent on enjoying everything in the moment because it goes by so quickly. I would say Clay was like a father the way he orchestrated the day. He gave us enough guidance, advice, and options but we made our own decisions. And you can’t ask for more on a day that is so important.\r\rYou can’t go wrong with any of their food options. We had heard that they had a reputation for having great food and we weren’t disappointed. Since the Palm works with their own Beets catering staff, Clay ran the entire day of ceremony as well as the kitchen and we were very pleased. And because all of the staff works together on a regular basis there is a natural flow to the entire day. We felt catered to but also left private for our special moments by the entire staff which felt very respectful. We would recommend The Palm to anyone throwing an important event.\r Reviewed on 15-04-2012
Heather Nguyen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2011 Clay, Annie & all of the team at the Palm Event Center were absolutely amazing. Every single time we contacted them they were courteous and helpful! Annie was our coordinator the day of the wedding and I am so glad we decided to use her because our wedding was flawless. The only down point was that it went SO FAST! Everything was truly amazing and all of our guests raved about how nice our wedding was. I would recommend this team to anyone who is looking for an elegant venue in the bay area. Reviewed on 27-12-2011

sue lee(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2010 My fiance and I are planning for a large wedding (350+), and the original site I was looking at was a bit too small. So we decided to look around a little more and we found the Palm Event Center. \rThis place has an amazing driveway that makes a great impact when entering. I set my tour up with Mackenzie, and Monique, who was pretty nice, gave us a tour. The building that held the reception was pretty big and could handle our party,no problem. There are two options for the ceremony...outside (pretty bright and nice) or in the estate room (a little on the dark side for my preference, and i wasn't too fond of all of the barrels). \rI probably would've given this place four stars for the overall look. HOwever, I have to knock off two stars for the correspondence. We were happy with the venue and were really considering booking the place. The next day, I wrote back to thank Monique and Mackenzie for the tour and included a few questions about venue. Since I didnt get a response, I thought maybe they didnt get the email, so I tried again, and one more time a couple of weeks later. Not once did I hear back from either of them. Maybe they didnt get all three of my emails, maybe they were busy...nonetheless, having this be one of the most important days of my life, I didn't want to chance having a co-ordinator that couldn't correspond or follow-up. If they couldn't even correspond when I was just touring the venue, I can only imagine what might happen if I actually booked the place.\rI guess I should be happy about it because we would've settled on the Palm Event Center, instead of the gorgeous venue Im booking in Napa. Wasn't meant to be. Reviewed on 07-09-2010
