Testimonials
Bride (2018)
We just had our wedding at the Adobe Lodge, and we couldn't have been happier with Jessica and the staff. Jessica was incredibly helpful and patient through the entire process! The Adobe Lodge was a one stop shop - tables, lighting, linens, food, beverage. Having most of our event needs in house made the entire process so much easier! Jessica also helped coordinate with our vendors (florist and DJ) coming onsite before the start. Also, the location was perfect, being next to Mission Santa Clara where the ceremony was. The gardens themselves were stunning and the back patio made for an enjoyable evening for those wanting to a break from the dancing. Overall, it was truly a perfect venue for our evening reception!

This review is for my wedding reception in May 2016 - which Adobe Lodge both catered and coordinated. My husband and I could not have been more amazed by how wonderful our experience was. Lauren, Ryan and their team gave us the most perfect, well-executed reception.
From the very beginning, Adobe Lodge was incredibly easy to work with, absolutely on top of their game, and made planning this event far less stressful than we ever could have imagined. Adobe Lodge made the planning a breeze by managing all the rentals, coordinating with our other vendors, providing the catering (note: the food is FANTASTIC), assisting with day-of coordination and dealing with all the set up and clean up. There was literally nothing for us to do other than show up and enjoy our wedding. If you are looking for a venue for your wedding reception, do yourself a favor and book Adobe Lodge.

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding reception at the Adobe Lodge! It was such a beautiful venue! We had our meal outside on the lawn against the backdrop of the sunset, roses, and a multitude of flowers. When it got dark, we moved into the lodge for cake and dancing! Leslie was so professional and did such a wonderful job helping us to plan our wedding. The appetizers/cocktail hour was wonderful; the tables were beautifully decorated with elegant dinnerware; and the meal was delicious! She also made sure her team put all of our wedding favors at each place setting; she took care of special meal requests by our guests; and she even had a kids' room in the lodge where our smaller guests could watch movies and draw. Leslie also organized a pre-wedding sample meal so we could taste different appetizers, main courses, and wines before deciding on what we wanted.
