Poppy Ridge

My husband & I recently got married at Poppy Ridge in May 2023 and everything was lovely. Terrific location for the ceremony, gorgeous photo locations along the golf course and nearby hills with vineyards in the distance, delicious food, and attentive staff. We would definitely recommend this venue for other couples looking to get married in the Livermore wine valley area.

The staff was so helpful and wonderful. The food, vista, and ballroom were all incredible. We had such a beautiful ceremony and such a fun reception.

We enjoyed the Poppy Ridge venue and it offered the most amazing background for pictures. We received a lot of help from Isadora in regards to finalizing day of details and the set up of the venue overall. I would recommend hiring a wedding coordinator who can help with more minor details and set up for the day of. The food was amazing and our guests raved about the midnight snack of sliders and fries. We appreciate the great help of the staff who help everything run smoothly and made the clean up process so easy for us.

I loved the area, it had the most gorgeous pictures for our day. The bar service was quick and the food was delicious. We had an amazing night!

This venue is beautiful and gives a Tuscan/mission feel! Our wedding photos turned out beautiful with the venue as the background. The food was great, and they gave us a choice to have a signature drink which was fun! The pricing of the venue as a whole was very reasonable especially for where it is located. The only downside we experienced was with the organization of the staff during our planning process with them as well as the rehearsal. Other than that, I would totally recommend this venue but just advise that you are organized and double check the detail.

My husband and I just got married at Poppy Ridge this September. We had an amazing experience here and have no complaints. The process of booking the venue and selecting a date was seamless and the staff provides resources to assist us with planning right away. The coordinator was a great guide who provides assistance with every detail and clarified any doubts we had. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly, and the venue provided a private and intimate space for couples to celebrate our big day. The venue is stunning throughout the year, and the food was exceptional. The staff is friendly and efficient, and ensured everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this venue to anybody looking to tie the knot.

We had our wedding here end of April and we had the best experience! We worked with Isadora and Abby for over a year and they were always very helpful and communicative with even the smallest of questions. We moved states during our planning so they were able to move up our food tastings to accommodate our move and were responsive with continued planning over phone and email. The food was FABULOUS and we got feedback from guests all night long that it was the best wedding food they've ever had! They made our custom drinks one by one and exactly how we wanted them! We appreciated the attention to the detail and the ease of having everything all in one spot. Would highly recommend!

They did a great job from planning everything out to the day of. Even with weather issues, everything turned out perfect! So happy with Poppy Ridge!

Abby and Isadora are amazing and made our wedding planning so much easier! The venue is so beautiful and met our rustic romantic theme perfectly! The views are to die for as well and it makes for amazing photos! The food was a huge hit and our guests were raving about it all. You will not be disappointed if you pick poppy ridge. 11/04/22 was the best day ever and poppy ridge made that happen for us! Thank you for everything!!

We hosted our wedding at Poppy Ridge on 8-27-22 and were very happy with the results, atmosphere, and staff! Abby and Isadora were phenomenal and were very attentive to all our needs and expectations. Friends and family that came to the wedding loved the venue and made comments about how nice the ambience and staff were! I would definitely recommend this place to any couples looking for a wedding spot in Livermore! Thanks again Abby, Isadora, and Poppy Ridge Staff!

Abby and Isa were amazing in helping us every step of the way with the wedding. They were prompt with emails and on top of it on the day of!

First off, Poppy Ridge is so accommodating! We had to reschedule our wedding a couple months later due to family stuff. So we changed it to September 24th. Abby and Isa were the best ! They made this day so smooth for us. Isa girl we loved you! Thank you for actually being apart of our wedding and getting us in line because I know our families weren’t easy. The FOOD, okay we had prime rib and salmon, ugh delicious! We’re still talking about it and it’s been 2 days since the wedding. The view was gorgeous, the sunset was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you all again !

I had the best experience for our wedding. The planning and the communication were amazing! Everyone LOVED the food we picked out. To this day everyone is still talking about our wedding and how much fun they had. Thank you to all the staff for making it such an incredible experience and night for us and our guest.

We are absolutely delighted with the assistance that we received from Abby and her team! They did a remarkable job making sure everything went according to what we had envisioned. They provided so many tools and links that made it easy for us to complete every single detail from start to finish! They keep in touch frequently and answer emails very quickly! We highly recommend taking a look with Poppy Ridge!

Abby made the entire process very easy to plan what was needed all the way up to the wedding. Leanne also helped the day of the wedding to ensure we got all the good places to get photos with my husband. Both of them were very friendly and helped to make sure everything was taken care of so the day of my wedding I could enjoy the day stress free. The staff was very helpful at the end of the night to ensure I was able to connect all my items and packaged things for me and placed them in the bridal suite. The food was excellent and all my guests loved the food, venue/ ambiance and had an amazing time. The poppy ridge staff and venue made my wedding day everything I dreamed of.

I had such a beautiful wedding and I so happy I booked this venue! I planned my wedding myself but was so happy to have Abby and Leanne there to help with with questions when it got closer to the wedding and with the day of. I had some bumps on the day of and Abby smoothed them over so well we got to enjoy our beautiful day! I literally can’t explain how grateful I was to have Abby for my wedding day. The venue provided such a great backdrop for my pictures too! The food was amazing and all my guest were raving about it.

The venue was beautiful - the ceremony area had great views of the green hills of the golf course! We also had our wedding pics taken up there. The inside of the reception building was beautiful as well - very clean. The food was super delicious - all our guests loved it. Leanne the day of coordinator for our wedding was extremely helpful. She is very responsive and answered all our questions leading up to the wedding. She is very professional and friendly. The entire team at Poppy Ridge did a great job to help us have an awesome time at our wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly

We planned to get married at Poppy Ridge May 2020 but due to Covid, had to reschedule to August 2020, then May 2021, before ultimately cancelling. Poppy Ridge was the second venue we toured and we probably should have stopped looking that day. Every venue we saw after, we kept comparing to Poppy Ridge. Between the beautiful property, the catering price, everything that was included, plus how friendly and accommodating the staff was; no one could beat it. Abby was always quick to respond to all our questions. We did our menu tasting in Jan 2020 so even though we ended up not having our wedding there, I can attest that the food is amazing. I’ve heard horror stories of venues pressuring couples to get married on their original date or charging them hundreds of dollars to reschedule or limiting their options to mid-week weddings. I am happy to say that Abby and Poppy Ridge did none of that. Abby encouraged us to do what was best for us, whether that was rescheduling another year or cancelling. I know that Abby, Leanne and team would have executed an amazing wedding. If we ever decide to have a vow renewal or reception, Poppy Ridge will be at the top of our list.

We're no longer hosting our wedding at Poppy Ridge because of COVID, but from our first correspondence and visit, to my many e-mails with endless questions, to our menu tasting, to the difficult decision to cancel our event, Abby and the rest of the Poppy Ridge staff were absolutely amazing. They were so kind and understanding, and quick to respond, throughout the whole process and brought great ease of mind. The ceremony and cocktail hour space outside had a beautiful view of the hills of Livermore, the indoor reception venue spacious and beautiful, and the food at our tasting was delicious. I'm so sad to not be able to celebrate here... but I highly recommend Poppy Ridge for any celebration!

Although we had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19; Abby was amazing to work with during our months of planning! She made every decision easy & without hesitation was so accommodating! When we decided we had to cancel, she was able to provide our deposit back to us with no questions asked. The property itself was beyond beautiful & any Bride would be lucky to get married there!

Our wedding was planned for June 2020 and had to be postponed due to covid-19. We cannot be more thankful and grateful that we chose Poppy Ridge as our venue!! During the planning process, the staff at Poppy Ridge were so accommodating and we felt like they would bend over backwards to make sure our wedding was perfect. The events director Abby was such a pleasure to work with and always got back to us promptly. When covid-19 struck, Abby reached out to us multiple times to check in and see how we were doing. When we decided to postpone our wedding, we were so lucky with how easy they made everything. We absolutely cannot wait to work with the team again to make our dream wedding come true!

Excellent Customer service and professional set up. The delicious menu prepared by the kitchen staff, everything that we asked to be included was delivered. Our event planner executed everything as prepared in the timeline and made it easier to not worry about the whole event. We are very pleased and thankful to the people that made our special day, unforgettable!

Beautiful place, very nice and helpful staff. It was really the best day ever. Everything went well and it was perfect!!

I forget how I found Poppy Ridge, but I'm so glad I did. It wasn't even a question after touring and meeting with Abby if we were going to book or not. We booked shortly after and it was the BEST decision ever. I know, I know there is not much information, social media etc about Poppy Ridge for Weddings, but let me say this, I don't think I could've chosen a better venue with the best Coordinators ever! The venue is gorgeous, super relaxed with anything and everything, and very accommodating. Inside and Outside were amazing, the ceremony was a great patio with gorgeous views, and very large. We had our wedding on September 1st, and because of that, they had the patio lights strung across the patio area which we also used for the dance floor, photo booth and ice cream serving. There was plenty of room for the DJ, and of course they had the side patio for cocktail hour which was more than enough room for everyone including cornhole. The inside might seem like it's not big enough, but it fit 13 tables, a head table, cake table and the buffet tables very comfortably. The hardwood floors were gorgeous and if you add some uplighting with your light package, it totally outdoes it. Abby was our main contact throughout the entire process. She was very responsive and thorough with every email I sent and every question I had. I don't think I could've calmed my nerves without her being so attentive with my wedding. She was so sweet and lovely and so great to work with. When we had our menu tasting we were introduced to Leanne. And Leanne would be our contact from there on out, but Abby would still respond if needed. Leanne was amazing throughout and day of! She handled everything with care and knew exactly what she was doing. I don't think I would've gotten through my wedding day without her there. She was on top of everything, and had every answer to every question. The end of the night was great, everything went smoothly and I can say for sure, it went by super quick. But Leanne was there until the end. My wedding planner and Leanne cleaned up, put my stuff in my vehicle and made sure everyone got on the shuttle or in their cars at the end of the night. Thank you Abby and Leanne and Poppy Ridge!! I can't wait to share the photos with you. Sara

Abby and Leanne did such a great job! They were great at responding to our questions and made us feel comfortable and were approachable. This place is beautiful and they will do their best to make your wedding day perfect. They definitely did that for us. We’re glad we chose this place! Plus they don’t have a minimum you have to spend like Napa did.

Five starts doesn't even begin to rate Poppy Ridge and all their staff!! My husband Anthony and me spent so much time researching venue online and came across this hidden gem so we decided to book a tour. Abby was the first person we were in contact, and everything from there just fell into place. We loved everything we saw and heard, and booked immediately. Abby was our main point of contact for all most items leading up to our wedding, but Leanne was our go to for the BIG day. Both were amazing to work with, always on top of things and worked very well with our wedding planner who was looped in just a few weeks before we married. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we can't thank Poppy Ridge and all the staff who helped =) HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We're eternally grateful for all the details and help that make our wedding the best day ever!!

Abby and Leanne were so fun to work with and they made our special day so easy for us to enjoy. Abby was the first one we had a consultation with and instantly connected with. We could definitely see why this is her job because of her personality and how easily approachable she is. If you have any questions or concerns, she responds in a timely manner. Leanne was awesome as well. She did a good job doing the rehearsal and answered any questions. Side note & tips to help your coordinators and yourself: -Ask for the floor plan so it helps when making your seating chart. -Start your itinerary early. -Scope out the venue and take photos and videos to help you plan your vision and layout. -Assign people from your wedding party/fam or friends to help with the setting up/decorating if you’re using your own stuff and for people to help take the decorations. -Assign people to put gifts in the car so you don’t have to worry about it. Overall, Poppy Ridge was awesome and we had such a great wedding because of Abby/Leanne and the staff. Also, food was good and our guests commented on it.

We got married in the beautiful venue of Poppy Ridge. Support of the coordinators throughout the process was great! The setting and time of day was perfect (evening, 5pm wedding). No matter our request, the team was willing to adapt and help us out. We could not have imagined a better venue and are looking forward to the pictures.

This venue is absolutely stunning!!! The wedding coordinators and staff are very professional, consistent and attentive! Last but certainly not least, THE FOOD!!!!!! Omg the food was so good!!!! We HIGHLY recommend this place! Thank you for everything Poppyridge!

The Poppy Ridge team was prompt in responding and answering questions. The price was also reasonable for the location and services provided. Guests felt very comfortable and were amazed by the gorgeous view. Staff took care of set up and tear down of tables and chairs, as well as serving food and cake. Details for timeline, seating chart, ceremony procession, etc. were all discussed ahead of time. The day of coordinator was there to coordinate wedding party members, vendors, and staff. She was also there the day before for the wedding rehearsal, which made things run smoothly. I do recommend hiring someone to take care of the extra details such as setting up the aisle runner, any projectors, screens, guest book, favors, table numbers, etc. as they are not in charge of setting those up. I also recommend hiring a good DJ that will follow the timeline and make announcements when needed, as well as check in with the coordinator throughout the day. Since this venue is also a restaurant, there will be a limit to how early vendors will be able to set up. Any changes in terms of schedule can be discussed and the venue tried their best to adjust to our needs. The food was amazing and guests had more than enough to eat. Overall, we recommend this venue if you want a great wedding experience with an amazing view.

Having our ceremony and reception at Poppy Ridge was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. We visited 5 different venues and chose Poppy Ridge because: - they were very responsive, answered all our questions and spent the time to give us plenty of details - the site is beautiful - prices were within our budget - they (already) had excellent reviews on The Knot. Abby and Leanne have been incredibly helpful both for planning and during the wedding day. They were always very fast to respond and have a handy website/portal to follow up with emails, documents, payments etc. The tasting session was great, we went over all the decoration details, many food choices (it was hard to pick), the chef (chef Ray) was very helpful too and brought suggestions and personalized changes. The place was ideal for - the ceremony: outside, nice background, enough space, and some decoration items were provided (arch, wine barrels, easel for welcome sign...) - cocktail hour: people could chill outside while enjoying the view - reception: the room inside was big enough, we really liked the layout of bar / dance floor / building and it could be decorated easily (mostly flowers and light for us) - pictures along the golf course: we got really cool wedding pics with natural and romantic backgrounds :) We did not have a wedding planner and it was not an issue during the wedding event, Leanne helped us a lot from welcoming the vendors to following the time line for photo tour, food etc... Many of our guests gave us very good feedback on the food and location. My wife and I were very pleased to have our wedding there, staff is amazing and we highly recommend the place. Venue booked on: April 18 2018 Wedding date: April 27 2019 Number of guests: 122

After visiting and considering over a dozen venues we chose Poppy Ridge for a few reasons : Exclusive use of the venue, late finish time, beauty of the building and venue for indoor/outdoor, rustic /refined, food options and ability to customize, lower cost for beverage service for under 21, flexibility and ease of communication with Abby and Leanne. Every question, new request, change of mind and concerns were handled and answered quickly and with such service. They made me feel that good friends were taking care of everything and that I wouldn't have a worry the day of. The day of was amazing! Just as we discussed during our rehearsal and dozen emails, the balcony (aka ceremony and dance floor) was under beautiful lights, the staff were all polite, charismatic, invisible yet accommodating. My guests all commented that the food was delicious, service impeccable, venue was stunning and the night perfect! We are anxiously waiting for our pictures and be welcomed back from our honeymoon. Would recommend everything about this venue and staff! Abby and Leanne, you ladies are truly the best!

Poppy Ridge is beautiful, gracious, affordable and downright amazing!

My husband and I got married this past weekend and would not have changed a thing about our venue! Poppy Ridge is such a beautiful place and the coordinator, Abby, was so easy to work with! We visited many golf courses in the area and Poppy Ridge was by far the most organized and gave us the most confidence that they could deliver what we wanted, and they did! Guests were complimenting that the entire day and evening was seamless! As many brides do, I had many questions and specific requests throughout the planning process. Abby and Leanne were always quick to respond to all of them. Our guests absolutely loved the food and all complimented that the staff was quick and efficient, especially the bar service! This is a gorgeous venue and the service is outstanding! We will definitely be back to have more of their food and to see the staff who made our day so amazing! :)

The venue is absolutely beautiful surrounded by the hills of Livermore and didn’t require much decor from us to make it exactly what we envisioned. The views, patio area and Abby were ultimately what made us decide on Poppy Ridge. Their pricing was fair and reasonable unlike many other venues we looked at, Poppy Ridge did not charge us for every little thing. The food was delicious and we have heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about it. Doing a buffet we were slightly worried about food staying hot but that was no issue! We were bummed that we would miss out on appetizers, we were really excited about the passed options we picked, so they put some in the room for us to eat before taking pictures. Abby was an absolute dream to work with! She responded quickly, answered questions in an easy to understand way so my husband and I weren’t left still trying to figure out the answer. She was so personable and you could tell she enjoyed her job and took the worry off our shoulders.

We had a beautiful wedding at Poppy Ridge two weeks ago. Everything went smoothly by their professional service and arrangements. From beginning to the end, the team of Poppy Ridge was always responsive and supportive. Abby and Leanne were easy to communicate and always provided the professional suggestions as I was the wedding planner by myself. The foods are delicious even I am a super picky foodie that the chief can make some creative fusion that can match the diverse tastes of guests. Most importantly, comparing with other nearby venues, the price of Poppy Ridge is way more affordable.

The folks at Poppy Ridge were accommodating and didn’t nickel and dime us for everything. Everything they had they allowed us to use free of charge. The food was amazing and the drinks flowed seamlessly. All of the staff were wonderful to work with! The views at the venue were stunning and we lucked out with perfect weather. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Poppy Ridge! ❤️

Wedding planning isn't easy. There's a lot of pros and cons you have to weigh, such as cost, quality of food, venue, contingencies in the event of bad weather, parking and customer service. Poppy Ridge is hands down the best option in all of these. Abby (the sales rep and coordinator for us) was amazing. She's polite, gives thorough and clear answers to our questions, gave us a break down of costs, worked with us every step of the way, coordinated the food tasting, coordinated the day of, helped with the rehearsal, answered last minute emails, and was very patient with us as we struggled to figure out details. The venue is beautiful and everyone at our wedding raved about it. The food is amazing! My wife and I have been to many weddings and this is by far the best wedding food we've had. The reception area has nice high ceilings, which works great as a back up in the event of bad weather. The golf course is a great place for scenic wedding shots. If there's a short list of venues you can check out, Poppy Ridge needs to be at the top of that list! I cannot speak any more highly of Abby and the services she and the rest of the Poppy Ridge staff provided.

Abby was the most amazing person to work with ! She is so sweet, professional, prompt with getting your questions and concerns addressed and she goes above and beyond to make your day exactly what you want. My husband and I couldn’t be more thrilled of how our day turned out! It was perfect!! Thank you again Abby!!

This is an awesome venue! The view is nice, and staff are very professional. Highly recommend this venue!

Poppy Ridge was on the bottom of our list of potential venues for our wedding but when we went to visit it was clear the staff and the site were a cut above the rest. Our wedding was beautiful, the venue was perfect and so was the weather! Working with Abby was great she was on top of everything from the very beginning and made it easy to focus on what we needed to. The food was superb and so was the service. Highly recommend Poppy Ridge Golf Course to anyone looking for a full service venue.

Where do I even begin? This Venue was AMAZING, not only that, but the staff, and Abby (our Coordinator) went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us, words can't describe how great this Venue was. Not to mention, the VIEWS... Everything was perfect, I give this my HIGHEST recommendation! Thank you Abby & Poppy Ridge for making our special day UNFORGETTABLE! -Selina Ledesma

This place is Livermore's best kept secret that I'm willing to share with all of you. After a frustrating afternoon of venue shopping on a rainy day, we came along to Poppy Ridge. We were blown away by the professionalism and hospitality of the staff right away. Brian, the event coordinator, was more than we ever could have asked for and I know our wedding day wouldn't have been as beautiful without him and his outstanding team. Brian and his team were so organized and made me feel relaxed throughout the whole planning process. I didn't feel stressed at all the day of the wedding because I knew I was in good hands. Oh, and I have to also give a little shoutout to Becky, thanks for taking us to the best photo-op spots! They have an excellent selection of different food and beverage packages that can fit just about anyone's budget, but still makes your wedding feel very special. The food we selected for our buffet was to die for, and I have quite a few foodie friends who raved about the food. Seriously, don't waste your time looking at any other venue, Poppy Ridge has everything you need!

This review is for the use of the venue for our wedding. Hands down this was the perfect place for us for our wedding. We worked with venue coordinator Brian Garza and he was fantastic. He was always prompt to get back to us on the days he was working, well organized, clearly well experienced with event planning at the venue and didn't hesitate at any of our requests. Brian was definitely a dream to work with and was so easy going during the entire process. He put up with us and all our crazy friends and family ;) The day of the wedding, just last night, I felt I had nothing to worry about. I trusted Brian and his staff completely. Beckie was beyond amazing. I'm sorry I didn't get her title, but she was wonderful. She helped out with every little detail and any thing. She was a one stop shop!! She was so kind, warm and helped with decor set up, my dress before I walked down the aisle, driving the golf cart to the beautiful picturesque locations...she is a gem. I Heard not one complaint about the food...the filet was on point, the chicken was tender and juicy and the drinks were well poured! The service ran smooth, the staff was professional. Mike and Brad were personable and awesome bartenders! Couldn't have asked for better service. We are truly grateful for the staff at Poppy Ridge and can say the night was flawless. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Poppy Ridge in July 2015. Brian, the event coordinator, was extremely helpful throughout the process and took care of everything on our wedding day so we didn't have to worry. All catering was provided by the venue, and our guests were very happy with the food. The golf course setting was beautiful and looked amazing in our photos. This is definitely a good choice for a venue in the Livermore wine country, especially if you're looking for something more affordable than the surrounding wineries.

Poppy Ridge was the perfect location for our wedding. Our ceremony was held outside on the deck overlooking the golf course and vineyard and the sunset was absolutely breathtaking. Our guests could not stop commenting on the delicious bacon wrapped scallops and other delicious passed appetizers. Our meal was cooked to perfection and the Coordinator Brian Garza is top notch and was 100% responsive during my entire year of planning.

The golf course is an obvious beauty, but the actualy building was perfect for my wedding as well. The people that helped - Brian Garza - made the day so amazing. The staff there is just so nice and accomadating and so willing to do what you want (obviously within reason). I had so many compliments from my guests about the beauty of the place along with the staff. A MUST TO VISIT! Oh and for everything that they offered it was like insanely fair in cost. The food is amazing - loved the cheif- the full bar was a STEAL of a price. I cant say enough great things about this place. SERIOUSLY just go and visit it. It is more than worth it!

We had a great experience with Poppy Ridge. We booked the venue 9 months in advance and dealt with Becky, the head event coordinator. She was prompt with returning emails and phone calls and very thorough. She has done hundreds of weddings, and was able to recommend other vendors, which was great. The venue was a great price, especially for the amt of people that it could hold, and provided catering- food and beverage. The alcohol options were more extensive then they would have been if we had had our wedding at a winery. We were able to meet with the head chef for a tasting, and he was great- talking us through why he chose certain sauces, how the food is locally grown, and answering all of our questions.... we had a blast during the tasting! The appetizers (we're told since we were off taking pics) were great, and the dinners were awesome and the portions large- we got a lot of compliments from our guests! The staff at Poppy Ridge was amazing before and during our wedding day. Super personable and professional, a huge perk of this venue. We highly recommend this vendor!!

The Poppy Ridge makes for beautiful photos!! Such a pretty place. We overall had a good experience at the Poppy. Everyone said the food was super good! My issue was we did not get any. We (bride and groom) were taking some quick photos outside during the sunset and they cleared our full non eaten plates. I wish they would have put it aside for us to eat as it was such crazy day and night. Also the bar tender was not very polite to my guest. Other than that they were very nice and helpful. Our wedding went really smooth and looked beautiful.

the ambiance, and the scenery of the grounds at poppy ridge. Great staff and flexible to your needs.;Double check the order of events, and what the beverage service

We loved the fact that even though we were in Livermore, Poppy Ridge feels like a secluded, intimate location that is quiet and serene. The view from the clubhouse is gorgeous especially in the spring and winter, rolling green hills. The staff is incredible and willing to help in any way. They were very friendly. The food was terrific and the guests still continue to talk about it.
