Mt Hamilton Grandview Restaurant and Venue

d something with amazing food and beautiful scenery. Both my wife and I (and her family) have gone to the restaurant and knew the food was amazing. The food during dinner is the exact same--not a brought in catered food. The view is stunning during the day and at night. From the day ceremony overlooking the mountains and city to the night with a whole city filled with lights. The days leading up the wedding was a breeze. Jodi is thoughtful, organized, and very accommodating. The day of she kept in touch with our vendors and made sure everything went so smoothly. Ilya (general manager) and the rest of the staff are all a big family. They always helped each and took care of every detail that we asked and had the intuition to think beyond that which we may have missed. Because they run the show as a big family everything is honest and you never feel like they are trying to take advantage of you just because it is a wedding. I can't say enough good things about the venue and our experience. I wish we could do the day all over--everything was perfect. Thank you again Grandview staff for the amazing day! Looking forward to having dinner with you guys again soon.

about until the next day because she handled it so quietly), and they even sacrificed a white napkin for a pocket square for a groomsman who forgot his pocket square. Not only were the staff top notch, but the venue has a breathtaking view, delicious food that won us foodies over, a perfect space for a ceremony and a wonderful reception space, and there is a cottage for the bride and her ladies to get ready (that you can rent the night before if there isn't a wedding that evening and you get to spend the night there with your new husband). The cottage has a TV with internet to watch movies/shows while you get ready, a full bathroom with a very nice overhead dual shower head setup, a microwave and mini fridge, and lots of space to get ready. Our wedding could not have been more perfect and our pictures are spectacular since we were able to perfectly time our ceremony with the sun setting in the background. Overall pros: - Cottage for getting ready all day and spending the night - You have the place for the entire day (they don't allow customers all day and can start setting up as early as 7AM if there isn't a wedding the night before) - Jodi is essentially a free on-site coordinator who literally is the BEST - It's a restaurant, so you don't have to bring in outside catering, chairs, tablecloths, etc. - The decor of the restaurant is classy and great for a wedding - The staff is amazing and thoughtful - You'll have a special place to come back for your anniversaries each year that is the same place you got married, which is really special - It's a unique place that most people haven't heard of and they don't manufacture weddings like some golf courses/country clubs/locations Small cons: - The drive can be a bit hairy as it's narrow and windy on a hillside, BUT they're reinforcing parts of the road and we managed a shuttle service for guests to and from the Foothill Presbyterian Church parking lot (for a reasonable donation) and it worked out perfectly for our elderly guests and those who didn't want to drive the hill Overall, I highly recommend the GrandView and they are the primary reason why our day was such a big hit with our guests and why we feel everything was perfect.

di and the rest of the staff were beyond accommodating and there for anything our guests or we needed. It was also really nice to have the cottage there for us girls to get ready that day at and a beautiful place for my husband and I to spend our night as newlyweds. I honestly cannot say enough about this venue, for the ceremony and reception and I am so happy to have this venue as the backdrop in all of our pictures. I can't wait to go back plenty of more times in the future to enjoy dinner, drinks, incredible service and of course, the view!

nce most of our family and friends are local, it was a perfect location. We had a great time working with Ilya (GM) at Grandview who was very attentive and open to all of our requests/desires. We were able to decorate the lower patio (reception) with many of our things to really make our event personal and unique. The banquet was held in the upper patio and again we were able to decorate it with our pictures, lights and center pieces to really make it magical. Everyone was amazed by the incredible evening views as we enjoyed some of the best farm-to-table food San Jose has to offer. On the day of the event, Grandview went above and beyond to make sure things moved on schedule and precision. We are very satisfied with the way the evening turned out and have many great memories.
