Summary: great price for a beautiful venue and views, good food, and attentive staff!! Highly recommend for weddings and other big events.
Our contract consisted of the following:
-Ceremony space in the chapel (5:30-6pm)
-Cocktail hour (6-7p...m): 9 different passed hors d'oeuvres and a large spread of cheese, pastas, and meats; bar was open during this time
-Reception (7-11pm): We chose buffet style instead of plated dinner. We got more variety of food (7 different buffet dishes) for our guests than just choosing one plate.
-Premium open bar that started during cocktail hour and lasted throughout the reception
-Rose Room, the minimum for this room for the evening is 175 guests (Terrace is pretty firm on their minimums. Be sure to choose a room where you're pretty sure you can meet the minimum. They won't be flexible with that)
-Wedding cake, assorted desserts, chocolate fountain, coffee and tea
-Once the room minimum is reached, then children under 2y/o are free, children from 2-12y/o and vendors are half price.
-Terrace expects additional gratuity on the Wedding day (about $3-$4 per person) Be ready with cash and give it to your venue manager before the night begins.
We chose Terrace for our wedding venue and we were very very happy with their services on our wedding day! After visiting about 5 other venues, Terrace had the best price for all they offered compared to others. The views at Terrace, especially during sunset, are unbeatable and breathtaking. There's different pricing, of course, depending on the season and whether it is an afternoon or evening wedding. George was our manager we worked with. He gave us the tour and went through the different contract options with us. We communicated with him through emails with any questions. Terrace offers space for couples to meet with their vendors and tour the venue. Since my husband and I lived far at that time, we didn't really take advantage of that benefit. About a month before our wedding, we were forwarded to Monica, the finalist manager, who reviewed our contract and ensured everything was how we envisioned. We went over lighting in the chapel for the ceremony as well as lighting in the dining room. We chose linens, the different buffet dishes, and determined the floor plan.
The day of, we had 2 bridal suites, one for the women and one for the men. In each suite, we were provided with some pasta and an array of drinks as we got ready. My bridal attendant, Maritza, was great! She kept the drinks and food coming for my to-be husband and I all night! Our maitre'd, Chris, did well with staff coordination and collaborating with my DJ and MC with the reception timeline. By the end of the night, Maritza was great with packing us leftover food and desserts as well as gathering all our wedding items and putting them in our storage boxes.
I really highly recommend Terrace! They were great overall. If you don't mind the potential of other parties happening on the same night as yours, then this is the place to be. They know what they're doing and definitely met our expectations for a fair price. Also for your guests, plenty of free parking!
