Palm Event Center In the Vineyard

I could not be happier with our decision to get married at the Palm Event Center. It is a huge day and a big decision and the Palm exceeded all of our expectations.
We made the decision to hire the day of coordinator and we were matched up with Casey. She was beyond amazing. When we had our final meeting with her, I left feeling at ease and so reassured. She went over every detail with us… things that I hadn’t even thought of. We went through how everything would work and she made sure she was in the know for every single thing that we wanted on our day.
On the day of our wedding (which was in late April) it rained. Our ceremony was supposed to take place outside and I initially was pretty devastated that we had to move it into the barrel room. However, they made it absolutely beautiful for us. They were even thoughtful enough to add some special touches to try to make up for us moving it inside. They added a hot apple cider and mulled wine station along with the use of their new lounge area.
Casey helped with everything… helping arrange the first look, making sure no one saw me, bringing the bridal party drinks and snacks before the ceremony, helping me and my fiancé set up a surprise for my parents And then after the ceremony, getting us out for pictures, making sure we had enough to eat at dinner, keeping everything on schedule. I had so many people tell me that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to.
The Palm and Casey blew us away. I would recommend them to everyone. THANK YOU CASEY for making our day amazing!!!

AMAZING!!! We just had our wedding here last month and the past year has been a little hectic with all the planning, however the staff at the Palm event center was the best thing I could ever have chosen. Our family and friends are still commenting on how amazing the venue staff was! So helpful, curious, detailed and efficient. More than once our guests broke glass on the floor and it was cleaned up within in seconds without ever interfering with the night events! Jade Seck was a HUGE help through the planning process! Always answering emails, providing advice and suggestions etc. and our day of coordinator was by and far the best thing we could have put money towards (in my opinion the fee for the day of coordinator is WAY too low for amount of work they put in!) they are really like a month of coordinator and personal assistant rolled into one. We had Casey Hahn as our coordinator and our family was so impressed with her professionalism, efficiency and overall personality. If you can afford the Palm event center (it’s not super expensive by definitely not cheap) definitely have your event here. They deliver on all accounts and getting your vendors approved is a breeze! I had no trouble with any of my venders at all and all but two were not in their approved vendor list. Best team ever!

I can’t say enough good things about the Palm Event Center. My husband and I got married there last month and I still can’t get over how perfect everything turned out.
We looked at several (he would say a million) places while deciding on a venue and not one of them compared to how gorgeous this venue is. On top of that, from the bridal team to the staff on our wedding day, the service cannot be beat.
We had Casey for our day of coordinator and our entire wedding party was impressed with her. She is extremely detail-​oriented and made sure everyone knew exactly what to do on our wedding day. I used to be a corporate event planner and I have the tendency to take over the event planning process and I did not feel like I needed to do that once because she was so on top of it! Everything went so smoothly on the day of our wedding because of her.
At first I was concerned about booking the Palm Event Center because they need to approve all your vendors. But I didn’t have any issues with them approving all the vendors I picked, and a few were vendors that have never worked there before.
Thank you Palm Event Center and Casey for making our wedding so special!

My brother and I run a mobile DJ and Karaōke service. We have a client that books us every year for the past 6 years or so. I always look forward to working for this client as they feel like family now. We’ve done their holiday party at a lot of different venues but this past holiday was the first time they held their event here. We’ve been in the business together for since the 90s and we’ve done a lot of venues. So we aren’t easily impressed. This placed really got our attention. The décor was really gorgeous. The staff was professional and polite. And since we aren’t the actual guests they have no reason to go out of their way for our sakes. The food was just so well prepared. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Everything was great. They were so well organized in communicating with us and they were always on top of everything. It’s a beautiful venue and food was great.
Jenny our coordinator was amazing, so as Casey and Jade. Thanks for everything

My daughter was married at the Palm Event Center on Friday. Super bowl weekend. Who knew! It was a magical event. Gorgeous venue. The food was outstanding. We choose family style, all the food was served to the tables at virtually the same time. The food was hot and delicious. Chicken piccata and short ribs were stand out choices. We had the donut flambé for dessert and that was unusual and dramatic. Served fries and grilled cheese sandwiches at 10pm to everyone delight. Highly recommend. No complaints! DJ Jeremy and Janine from DJ Jeremy Productions played great music and got the guests on the dance floor from the very first song. LC Floral Design provided gorgeous garden roses and peonies in jewel tones that were stunning and the chandelier from Fantasy Sounds helped the room sparkle. Thank you Palm Event Center for creating a memorable night to remember.

I got married at the Palm Event Center last night and everything was perfect! Our coordinator Samantha and Dan were amazing throughout the evening. Helping everything run perfect! If there were any issues last night, the groom and I had no idea. We had a unique set up for our ceremony and they made my imagination come to life.
The food was delicious! We served chicken piccata and beef short rib family style. I’ve never seen such an efficient serving crew. All of the tables received their food incredibly fast and it was wonderfully hot.
The groom, our families and I would highly recommend the Palm Event Center. They do have some rules/​standards that you may not find at other venues and could be off-​putting, but it all helps create a perfect, classy event.

I attended a company party for my largest customer and it was sweet! They have only had a company party for the last two years and it was my first one that I attended! Really sweet place with lots of room and a beautiful barrel room, which was where we got wine and cheese and appetizers before dinner. Carefully laid out table looked great with some nice «mood» lighting. There was also some live music players in the corner. The wine served was also pretty good as well. We had large banquet tables and were served Salmon, Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Green beans, and Rice from what I can remember everything was simple but done well. Cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely, everything was great! Much better than most hotels would usually do food for large receptions.
The dinner included some special singers from NY who were friends of the boss and a famous belly dancer who I had seen before at another Unilocal event in the past. Great dining entertainment, in between dinner we also had dancing with a variation of music for us younger folk. I didn’t get to try too much of the dessert because I was gambling at the tables they setup after dinner was done. The barrel room really came into play at the end of the night, we got blackjack, roulette, and even craps tables in there. Really great fun to end the night! Cool venue indeed, it would be a nice place to hold any event!

My husband and I got married at Palm Event Center in September 2015. We were incredibly blessed to have been able to secure this place. The detail that most captured our attention was the barrel room — amazing photos and ambiance. It was the exact feel and look I was intending for our wedding day.
In addition to the building plant, we had a wonderful time working with the wedding planners/​coordinators at Palm Event Center. They are incredibly organized — every detail was discussed and written down. Not only that, but they work with all of our other vendors to ensure communication is seamless.
On our wedding day, my husband and I barely worried about a single thing. The coordinator was ready, alert, and present. Thank you for giving us a beautiful wedding day, PEC.

I’ve gone to two weddings at this site and I’ve been impressed with the facility both times. It’s got the winery feel with the barrels used as décor (some as a dividing wall from the bathroom, which I thought was clever)
You can do a lot with the space and seems like you have options. A nice garden (if it’s warm enough) for cocktails and appetizers, the barrel room can be used for ceremony. At one wedding they used a separate room for kids for activities and a movie.
Can’t say how it is from the inside of planning, but as a guest it was great!

We had our wedding at The Palm Event Center in November. Venue hunting was such a nerve-​wracking task for us, but my husband and I both fell in love with the Palm Event Center when we took our first tour with Molly. The inside of the venue is beautiful, and the grounds are lovely. Everything is meticulously placed and cared for, and provided us with so many good photo opportunities during our wedding.
Communication with the ladies in the office was a breeze. Someone always got back to me in a timely manner, and despite times when I had a lot of questions, they never once made me feel as if I was bothering them. The gals here are on top of their game – they made sure we were aware of important deadlines and also had plenty of recommendations when it came to layouts, extra options, etc. But they never once made us feel pressured into making additions that we didn’t wish to add onto our budget. We had our ceremony inside the beautiful Estate Room – we fell in love with the space the first time we viewed it during our initial tour.
We decided to go with the Day-​Of Wedding Coordinator service, and it was perhaps the best investment in our budget. We had Vanessa, and she was AMAZING. She made sure everything was taken care of in the final weeks, leading up to the wedding day. I’m someone who has a hard time relinquishing control for fear of something going wrong, but I had no worries about Vanessa taking the reigns. She effortlessly wrangled everyone during our rehearsal and made sure everything was where it needed to be on the wedding day. We told her one of our biggest priorities was to EAT dinner (because the food is outstanding), and boy, she made sure we ate! She guarded our head table like a hawk during dinnertime, shooing away guests who approached us and assured them we’d be around to do table visits shortly. I got to eat, which meant I wasn’t cranky. Everybody wins.
They even boxed up the leftover appetizers and cake for us at the end of the night and gave us a large bottle of Pelligrino to take home. Nice touch. They also boxed up all of our decorations with lightning speed and we were able to take them with us that night.
Yes, if you wish to bring in a vendor not on their approved vendor list, they must fill out an application, provide proof of insurance, reputable reviews/​website, etc. Our photographer was not a preferred vendor, but he was approved with no issues. It was an extra task on my already long T-​Do list, but I understand that The Palm wishes to keep up its high-​value reputation and would need to vet whomever is coming onto their property. And they are not the only venue doing this in the area – expect to find a lot more doing the same thing.
Again, we couldn’t be happier with our venue choice and the folks who helped make our wedding day go so smoothly and be so memorable!

My best friend is getting marry and she wants me to dj for her. Jade and Vanessa at Palm make it difficult for her to get me in working at the venue. I proved my insurance and references to them in order to provide music. They turned it down and not allowing outside vendors like me to come in. They must be profit shares with their own refer vendors!!! This is how they loose a lot of businesses, I will not recommend any of my clients there. Period!

I’d give 500 stars if I could. Absolutely gorgeous venue with plenty of outdoor seating and excellent service. Food was on point (bomb bacon wrapped dates!). Fully stocked bars even serving specialty cocktails to a large wedding party. Most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to!

Venue hunting was a priority of ours once we were engaged. After visiting the Palm Event Center, nothing else compared. We called and set a tour appt with Allison. She was very friendly and welcoming. I went in wanting an outdoor wedding. But one look at the Estate Room, I fell in love. We booked the Palm Event Center within a month and the planning was on. THE PALM BRIDAL TEAM IS THE BEST! Jade, Meghan, Allison are wonderful. 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!!! The Palm Event Center is a naturally beautiful venue… they have the right staff, and the perfect intimate feeling in their estate room. The food is great (we rec’d constant compliments) and with your personal touches, you can customize your wedding to your desire.

A few weeks ago on a seemingly normal Friday, two people were married here and I was able to attend their wedding as a groomsman. The outdoor area where the wedding was held was very pleasant and beautiful. Lots of greenery, this vineyard overlooked the rolling hills in the horizon. There were many great photo opportunities around the venue.
Inside, the reception hall was equally as nice. Accents of wood and brown accompanied by dimly lit lights on the ceiling set the ‘romantic’ mood for the occasion. Along the walls were gigantic barrels which gave the room that personal touch.
The coordinator was very professional and the wedding simply went on without a hitch. The food and drink servers were on point and made sure to tend to their guests properly. The food we were served (braised short rib or salmon) were both equally satisfying entrees. I especially loved the meat and cheese plates and the passed horderves.
Overall, from a guest at a wedding perspective, I would say that this venue is a great choice for a wedding/​wedding reception.

We recently attended a wedding reception here — and I loved it. The outdoor grass areas and patios are well maintained and clean. All the kids had a ton of fun roaming around — and the area is somewhat contained, so there were no issues with kids running out into the parking lot.
I found the open bar and appetizers before we went into the dining hall were all great. The food was in abundance, and adults and kids found some good food to munch on.
The reception hall was huge. The dinner came out in good timing — kids meals came out first, then all the adult meals. My beef entrée was a big portion, and my son’s chicken strips and fries were yummy (enough for adult to steal since my son was having too much fun to eat). The open bar at the back of the hall was big, and the bartenders were great. They were friendly and made great drinks. The cookies and milk that they served at the end of the night also pleased both young and old!
Another plus to the large facility was one of the extra rooms. The bride and groom had one of the large barrel rooms to the side set up with babysitters, a movie, and an arts and craft table for post-​dinner entertainment. It was the nicest childcare room ever!
If I were to renew my vows and have a big party, I’d consider this place for sure!

My wife and I just had our wedding at Palm Event Center on ⁶⁄₁₇.
Before we choose Palm, we had gone to several other venues such as Ruby Hill, Wedgewood San Ramon, Casa Real, and among others. Palm totally matched my wife’s ideal wedding theme of rustic vintage feel; so, we decided on Palm as our venue.
During the process, Palm staff was very helpful on advising us of what works and what doesn’t work for wedding at Palm Event Center. Vanessa was the first person we worked with during first part of the process and she ensured all of our questions were answered ASAP, but all of the Palm staff was very delightful to work with. (Jade & Megan just to name a few people)
About a month and a half before the wedding, Casey, our event coordinator, was assigned to us. She ensured that every detail was well taken care of right up to the wedding and during the wedding Casey helped out quite a bit. She definitely save the day when she attached on of my loose buttons on my vest. Casey also kept us on time as time flies during the wedding.
If you are planning to have your wedding at Palm Event Center, trust me, it is in your best interest to hire Palm’s event coordinator. They will make everything much easier and closer to perfection.
Also, I recommend you hire Fantasy Sounds for your DJ (Nick), Ceiling Décor, and other entertainment needs as they can gain access to Palm early to setup versus other vendors only has two hours to setup.
Another tip is to get yourself a credit card that rewards you for dinning, such as chase prefer card, as payment to palm counts as dining. All of the points I received from paying Palm has allowed me to pay for two tickets to Hawaii.

We came here for a wedding banquet on Sunday evening, so my review is based on our experience as guests taking in the ambiance, food, and service. I have no idea of their prices, but I was really impressed and had a great time!
Palms is located in a somewhat isolated part of Pleasanton — its still a good 15 – 20 min drive off Bernal Ave. The Event Center is located adjacent to a winery, and surrounded by a nice view! I thought I was in Napa! Plenty of parking too.
The ambiance is ideal for a wedding, with dark intimate setting. Barrels everywhere so you get the winery décor, but plenty of lighting too. Ample space in the estate room for the ceremony plus spacious main dining room. Wonderful outdoor setting for photos.
Dinner was family style. Butter leaf salad with walnuts, raisins, and light dressing very fresh and tasty. Main course of short ribs were incredibly tender and generous — about the size of a fist for each person. Chicken picatta was cooked well but slightly under-​seasoned. Mashed potatoes were divine — so fluffy, smooth, and seasoned but not overly buttery. Everyone raved about the mash!
The Palms provided very good DJs, photographers, and event coordinators. The open bar had some nice creative cocktails like vanilla vodka and my favorite Blue Moon beer on tap. In case dinner isn’t filling enough, they included a snack station with trail mix, candy, and fresh fries — especially popular with the kids!

Worked an event here. Nice facility, wish they kept up with the restrooms the whole night.
At least it wasn’t baking hot in the rooms!

Classy venue located at Ruby Hills.
Helped a friend with their dessert/​candy bar and this place left me speechless. I worked with Molly who coordinated my friend’s wedding and she was very professional, helpful and very accommodating in helping me set up the table. The staff here is awesome and even offered to help me or refill candy jars, etc.
I wish i had an event to plan for myself because this is the place to have a classy, romantic, ‘destination’ type event. It’s conveniently close but seems like you’re a place far away!
