The Bridges Golf Club was an amazing venue and made the wedding planning process intuitive and straightforward. We had our wedding in September 2024. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was along with how delicious all of the food was (we can't recommend enough the mini beef wellington Hors d'oeuvre). The Bridges actually has two venues on site. There is a smaller 100-120 person setting, which we used, and a larger 250-300 person setting. Both are great! We worked with Sharon for planning our wedding. Sharon was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process (about 9 months of planning leading up to the wedding). She laid out the food/venue options very clearly, along with the payment schedule. For the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, we worked with Adriana as our coordinator. Adriana was always nearby making sure everything was going smoothly and starting on time. The Bridges was a great wedding venue and reasonably priced compared to many other similar venues that we toured around the same area.

Golf course was beautiful and the food was amazing! Everything seemed great but the day of coordinator was no directive and the day of seemed pretty unorganized. I think the day of coordinator needs to stay the entire night and not pass off the rest of the duties to someone we hadn’t spoken to. I think there were so many things that could’ve flown better and there was overall just a big lack of communication about the timeline, even though we laid it out. Other than that, venue and food were great.

Bridges was absolutely great as our wedding venue! Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how smooth everything went from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner. The food was delicious and a big hit! Sandy was great to work with throughout this whole process, and helped keep us on schedule with planning during the year. The day-of coordinator was super helpful and made sure our event stayed on pace. Overall, great experience and I would 100% recommend Bridges.

My husband and I just had our wedding at The Bridges this past Memorial Day weekend and were SO happy with the turnout! We originally booked our wedding for 5/28/21 but postponed to 5/28/22 because of COVID. We mainly worked with Sandy and she is super responsive and professional. I found The Bridges on "here comes the guide" when I was filtering for "all inclusive" wedding venues--meaning they come with food, drinks, tables, chairs, etc. That already made wedding planning so much easier for me. The Bridges was also one of the more affordable venues we visited, which I sooo appreciate.
We hired a different day-of coordinator, so they actually ran our ceremony rehearsal, but Emma from the Bridges was super friendly and professional also. She drove us around on the golfcart for all of our pictures, which was so nice!
About the venue itself--it is beautiful and doesn't need too many decorations! The ceremony site is already picture perfect with the rose bushes, and the reception room is huge, with tall ceilings and 3 iron chandeliers. We ended up using two of their preferred vendors: A Loves in Bloom (florals) & Fantasy Sound Events (chandelier & custom initial light)--we were so happy with both. They are preferred vendors for a reason!
We also got SO many compliments on the cocktail hour food and dinner entrees. One person told me "best wedding food i've had"!! We had the prime rib and salmon as our entrees and both were excellent.
Thank you to The Bridges, Sandy, Emma, + the whole special events team for making our day so perfect! I can honestly say nothing went wrong the whole day (or at least I don't know about it :D)!

The Bridges Team was amazing!! Sandy and Sharon were very responsive, patient, friendly, and answered all of our questions throughout the entire process. Emma and the event team were very prepared and helped make the wedding day flow so smoothly.

We couldn't have asked for anything more with Bridges! We had one of our wedding events here and it was PERFECT! The staff was very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. They were patient with us through all the pandemic uncertainties and were always available to either hop on a call or meet in person to discuss anything.
The space itself was gorgeous! Not only did we have incredible views of the golf course for photos, but the ball room inside was also stunning with beautiful chandeliers and wood accents. The Bridges team made everything so easy for us and I would 10/10 recommend this venue to our family and friends! Thank you for making our wedding weekend so special and stress free!!

Sandy and TBGC team were a dream to work with! They were always very responsive to all inquiries and the millions of questions I had during the wedding planning process. In the moment it may feel stressful meeting their somewhat strict deadlines but those deadlines are there for a purpose! Having those little details figured out earlier in the game definitely made the whole wedding process smoother. Our guests raved about the beautiful venue and thoroughly enjoyed the food as well! All in all a great experience and I am so happy we went with The Bridges for our reception venue!

The Bridges is the perfect place to get married. It's beautiful and they take care of just about everything. We had our wedding on 10/03/2021 and it was perfect. Our guests raved about the beautiful venue, food and the great service!!!
Sandy is the main coordinator and who I communicated with most of the time. She is AMAZING!! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was a bit of a challenge but Sandy always answered all of my questions promptly. She is very professional and you can tell she has been doing this for a long time. I have never planned a big event so it was great having Sandy to help us.
Our day of coordinator was Mercedes who was also great !!! She helped with the rehearsal and throughout our wedding day. We were able to enjoy our wedding day as she and the rest of the staff took care of everything.
I would highly recommend The Bridges for your next event !

My husband and I had an intimate micro wedding at the Bridges Golf Club on 11/7/20 with 30 people. Sandy was our coordinator and Colby was our day-of event captain. They were both great. Sandy tolerated my countless questions (and was very responsive) since the day we saw the venue late August 2020. Everything was initially planned outdoors (ceremony and reception) but when we saw potential colder weather/winds/rain in the forecast and it was getting darker earlier due to daylight savings, Sandy let us change our reception to the indoor clubhouse. I'm so glad we made this decision and that it was still available to us (while Contra Costa was still in the red tier). Colby was excellent during rehearsal and day-of and she chauffeured the bridal party in the limo golf cart to different locations for photography. She helped us make sure everything ran on time. We did run a couple grand over budget since we didn't realize there was a food / beverage minimum until reading the contract, but we were able to meet the minimum after buying a few bottles of wine to take home. I don't think our big day could have gone any better. I can’t wait to get our photos and video so that we can relive our special day! The venue really was lovely and it was a beautiful day to get married.

We got married on 9.18.2020 at The Bridges Golf Club and we seriously could not be happier with how it turned out!
Quick background: We were originally supposed to have our reception in the Clubhouse/Fireside Room. About a month after the Covid-19 shelter in place orders, Sandy (Director of Catering Sales) contacted us and gave us a choice to postpone or move the reception to the Garden Pavilion (it had not been reserved yet) to allow for more social distancing. We chose to move to the Pavilion. As our date got closer, and indoor dining was not allowed, Sandy let us know if we were to continue with moving forward for 9.18, our reception would be outdoors and our guest count would go down to 30. We let her know that we wanted to wait to make the final decision of moving outdoors til September 1 (ideally hoping indoor dining would open back up) and she was ok with that. Through the whole process, questions, and concerns, Sandy was very helpful and responded quickly. We did end up having to cut our guest count (as indoor dining still had not opened) and were allowed 50 guests at ceremony and 30 at reception. Due to this cut, our total food & beverage minimum went down. It did however make the cost/person compared with the total food/beverage minimum more expensive, but due to the circumstances, we understood. We were able to add the amazing short ribs late night snack and our guests raved about it. Due to the reception being outdoors, we worked with A Grand Affair to have tables with umbrellas for our guests. For the rehearsal ceremony and day of coordinator, we worked with Colby and she was amazing! She helped with the timing of everything and was very flexible with our storage of decorations. We didn't feel worried about anything during the day! There was even a miscommunication with our 6 inch cake and sheet cake with the delivery and staff. She contacted our baker and figured out the details right away. Colby also drove us in the golf cart to our picture destinations before our ceremony and during twilight hour. We felt so taken care of with her!
It definitely was not what we had pictured our wedding to be like when we first chose & started planning with Bridges, but how it ended up was absolutely perfect for us.
We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding, whether it's indoor or outdoor!

I had my wedding November 1, 2019 at the Bridges Golf Club. All the staff were amazing every step of the way. Sandy did our tour and showed us the venue and explained everything to us in detail. The Bridges was the 2nd wedding venue we had looked at and from there we knew this was the place we wanted. Celena helped us the rest of the way with planning and making sure that everything was the way we wanted. She was very professional and kind. She answered all our questions. (We had a lot of questions all the time.) Her response time to emails was great. Jaime did our food tasting and was super helpful in helping us pick what we wanted to serve. The day of the wedding he was amazing. He made sure that my husband got to try all the passed horderves because we were taking photos. Our day of event captain, (I forgot her name) was amazing. She made sure that everything ran smoothly in the ceremony and through out the day. I would highly recommend having a wedding at the Bridges. The event space is beautiful.

4 stars for a wedding venue (downside is the homes in the background).
5 stars for the catering (loved Jaime!).
2 stars for the wedding/sales managers + less negotiable contract.
The Bridges is a pretty venue (minus the homes in the background) - the clubhouse & garden pavilion are gorgeous (if only the green window/door frames were a darker brown color instead). The head chef Jaime is GREAT & super accommodating/kind/humble - both during our tasting, and also even during the wedding. He was our favorite staff at the Bridges. However, we weren't the biggest fans of the wedding/catering sales managers Sandy/Celena. The positives were: responses were quick & detailed (they are professional and do follow through- so that's a "pro"). However, personality-wise, we would've preferred a warmer, more genuine personality. Out of all venues we toured, they were the least enthusiastic/helpful compared to all other venues' wedding staff.. and many things in their contract are non-negotiable (where other venues are WAY more flexible). I remember being initially sad choosing Bridges over some of the other venues primarily because I enjoyed corresponding with the other venue's staff so much more. Ultimately, things worked out. The venue is beautiful, food was good, guests were happy. Just don't expect warm fuzzy enthusiasm or a ton of flexibility in creating your dream wedding when working with them.

We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding!!! The venue is beautiful, in a great location, and the staff was AMAZING. Sandy and Celena were so helpful from the very beginning answering any questions or concerns we had. They provided updates to us throughout the year and we always felt in the loop. Our wedding day was seamless and we got many compliments from our guests about how smooth the night was. The food was amazing and they offered many options to enhance the event. Would recommend this venue to anyone in the area!

The Bridges Golf Club was an amazing place to get married. From the onset they were very easy to work with, extremely responsive (often I got replies within minutes of my emails), and the wedding ended up being a dream. Everything leading up to the wedding was really well-planned and Celena was in constant communication to make sure that we had everything taken care of leading up to our big day. We enjoyed the food tasting, and working out all of our details. We were very at ease knowing The Bridges had everything taken care of.
On the day of our wedding, everything was great. Everything was set up to do a flip of the fireplace room since we had the ceremony and reception in the same room. Also, they left a plate of hors d’oeuvres and glasses of champagne in the bridal room for us to enjoy immediately after the ceremony before taking photos. They even put our gifts in a safe place during the reception and had all of our toasting flutes, cake knives, and personal things packed up and ready to go for us at the end of the night. It made the whole night effortless for us.
We are so happy we had our wedding at The Bridges, and the day after wished we could have done it all over again the exact same as the day before since we had so much fun!

My husband and I just got married at The Bridges on Saturday, and we still can't stop smiling! The venue speaks for itself - every space, inside and out, is just gorgeous. My guests have mentioned that they wish we could have heard their reactions as they walked up to the venue and had their breath taken away, but I was hiding in the bridal suite!
We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception in a venue that was beautiful enough without many decorations - and The Bridges provided that exact experience. In addition to the beauty, every staff member we worked with throughout the planning process and the day of were wonderful and great with communication. They were quick to respond and answer questions and made us feel supported and at ease.
Special shoutout to our day of coordinator, Colby, who warned me about the chandelier before my bouquet toss and then promptly watched me throw it right into it! Still one of the moments I replay in my head and laugh over and over.
I couldn't recommend The Bridges enough. We are still beaming with joy and can't wait to get our photos back so we can share the day for years to come!

My wife and I had our wedding at Bridges Golf Club a few weeks ago, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! We are very happy that we chose Bridges for our wedding venue.
To start with, Sandy and Celena were excellent sales people to work with. They did not try to sell us every available package, but rather they worked with us to make sure we got the wedding we wanted and were very accommodating. We emailed quite often with new questions and requests to change our order, and they were always very patient, responsive and helpful. Working with them was a very pleasant experience and made the wedding planning go much smoother.
The venue itself is gorgeous. The ceremony location (the garden terrace) has a beautiful view and is very close to the clubhouse. The clubhouse itself does not require a lot of decoration, as the interior looks very nice on its own, and has great ambiance. We also enjoyed the accompanying areas, like the bar room and the balcony overlooking the golf course. The surrounding green also provides great locations for photos.
Colby was our wedding day event coordinator, and she was fantastic! We met her at our ceremony rehearsal, and she was very helpful and patient to answer all of our questions about the big day. She walked us through the ceremony multiple times, and was happy to let us rehearse as many times as we needed. She was very kind and easy to work with, and was particularly good on the day of our wedding. She worked closely with our vendors to make sure our wedding timeline went as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day, she made sure to periodically check in on us to see if we were on schedule and comfortable. She even made sure we had some appetizers and champagne for ourselves before our grand entrance into the reception!
The ceremony at Bridges went perfectly. We had no problems getting our own arch set up prior to the ceremony. Some of our vendors had also worked with Bridges before, which helped. Our guests really enjoyed the view and complimented us on a beautiful ceremony.
The reception was so much fun! By the time we got the head table, there was champagne set out for us, and we were independently waited on by the serving staff (a nice touch). We chose to pay for the open bar, and our guests enjoyed having wine on the table and cocktails during dinner. When dinner was served, we received our food first, but we noticed that everyone received their food shortly thereafter. Everyone enjoyed their meals, as the prime rib and salmon were very tasty! The food actually exceeded my expectations, despite having gone to our free tasting.
Everything following dinner, including the first dance, cake cutting, etc. went off without a hitch, and we credit the Bridges staff. Small touches, like making sure two new glasses of champagne were set out for us at the cake cutting table, made the experience so wonderful. We were even impressed with how the staff cleaned up by the end of the night, as they saved every last decoration item that we brought and returned them to us in baggies.
Overall, we can’t say enough about how great the night was! We highly recommend Bridges Golf Club.

Working with Bridges was painless, they handled everything! They were so organized and would reach out with any information/documents they needed filled out for the big day. For the rehearsal ceremony and day of, I was provided a coordinator. She ran everything for me! I didn't have to worry about food, set up, room lighting, timelines etc. I also found the pricing to be very competitive, and you are getting so much more for your money compared to other venues. It was nice having my tables, linens, chairs, coordinator etc. all come from Bridges so I didn't have to hire other vendors and saved money! I highly recommend the Bridges Golf Club to all my friends and family to host any type of event!

My husband and I are so happy that we chose The Bridges to host our ceremony and reception back in October. We were lucky to have beautiful weather on the day of our wedding, which meant that the ceremony was just stunning. When we were looking at different venues, we knew that we wanted to find somewhere that would be convenient for our guests coming in from out-of-town, let us host a late-night party, and provide as much as possible onsite and The Bridges nailed all of that. The venue is gorgeous and I love how our photos turned out, the staff (especially Celena) were wonderful to work with, the food was good and overall our experience was exactly what we were hoping for. In terms of value for money, The Bridges was by far one of the best in the Bay Area and I would highly recommend as a venue to anyone.

I am so happy I booked this venue. The entire staff was super helpful since the very beginning. Celena & Sandy were amazing to work with and they responded right away with whatever questions we had. On the day of the rehearsal I was introduced to Colby who would be our coordinator for the day and she was absolutely amazing. Our photographer failed to show up on time and my husband said Colby was calling all the photographer she knew since we were not sure if she would be showing up at all for our event. When our photographer did arrive, she took us away from our cocktail hour which is something we were supposed to have enjoyed had she been there on time, and Colby was nice enough to give us 15 extra minutes so that my husband and I could say our hello's and enjoy it with our family and friends. Silvia was also great making sure we were good with our food and were constantly refilled with our wine. Everyone was amazing and all I heard all night was how we had the best wedding ever and it had to do with entire staff at Bridges for making the wedding look flawless!

We had our wedding at The Bridges Golf Club this August 2018. Both my husband and I were so happy with how the day went and how much our guests enjoyed our wedding and the venue. The venue is really beautiful!
We had over 200 guests and Bridges was able to accommodate our wedding size and have everything run smoothly. We had less than 6 months to plan everything, but with Sandy and Celena’s help and recommendations, we were able to complete all the details easily.
Many of our guests expressed how great the food was at the reception (prime rib and chicken), including the appetizers and wine that was served. The day of coordinator, Colby, was so great! She made sure we stayed on schedule and she worked well with our photographer and DJ.
I am so happy we chose The Bridges Golf Club for our big day! All our guests had a great time and that was really important to us. It was truly beautiful, fun and stress free!

My husband and I got married at The Bridges Golf Club in July 2018. When we were inquiring back in September 2017, they only had two more Saturdays in the summer months still open! We luckily were able to snag one of the last ones, and we could very clearly tell why this is such a popular place. What really sold me on this venue is the reception area. Absolutely beautiful space! I really loved that there were many different spaces, like the infamous tunnel, where the photographer could get some cool shots. Sandy and Celena were very responsive during the whole process, responding to my (many) emails promptly and were very detail-oriented. They were so helpful with the planning process and made it very stress free. The day-of-coordinator, Colby, was amazing as well! She made sure that we stayed on schedule- and worked so nicely with my vendors. The event staff was all very friendly as well, with Jaime making sure that my husband and I were always well taken care of. Thank you Bridges staff for making my wedding my dream wedding!

The setting is GORGEOUS and the food is delish! They have some rules that are non negotiable (like ceremony & reception start times) so read the contract carefully, but overall the Bridges team is very accommodating and always friendly. We got married on the lawn and had our reception in the clubhouse and it was perfect for 80 people. We are still getting rave reviews about the food and the views 3 months later!

From the very beginning of driving into the Bridges parking lot to meet with Sandy, I knew this place was something special! Sandy and her fabulous crew of "wedding fairies" made the year and a half process up to the big day so smooth and seamless. From the warm hospitality, to the speedy email replies, to the over all class ... this venue not only made our wedding day that much more but it will forever hold a very special place in our hearts! All our guests raved about the food and the elegant ambiance of the Pavilion room. The serving staff was welcoming and very attentive to each guest's needs along with ours. We are starting to receive the photos from our photographer and let me say .. "WOW!" The venue and the grounds provided an excellent and magical backdrop to our photos. Looking back on our wedding almost 2 weeks ago, it is without saying that we would not have done anything different to our big day! Thank you for making our 10/6/17 wedding one for the books! We hope to make this special place our new little "date day" get away. In the future, we will definitely be reaching out to Sandy and her staff to book another sensational event!! If you want to have a fabulous and stress free wedding ... The Bridges Golf Club is your place!!

We got married at Bridges in August of 2017 and worked closely with Sandy and Celena to make it happen. From start to finish, they were both kind, positive and so patient with my family and me. They were both very responsive whenever I had questions or concerns and were always willing to work with me. Before we picked Bridges, I met with many other Bay Area venues but no venue came close to Bridges with regards to value for our money - you get SO MUCH when you choose Bridges (here's just a few):
1. The venue is beautiful - diverse indoor and outdoor areas for photos, guest mingling and amazing views during the ceremony and reception. We had our ceremony outdoors, overlooking the canyon and our reception in the elegant Garden Pavilion.
2. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Colby was our day-of-coordinator and she was great: easy to work with, strong knowledge of the venue, organized and kept us on track. Having a great team at the venue ended up being one of the most important pieces to planning our wedding and we are so, so grateful for this!!
3. The food was AMAZING - our guests continue to comment on how much they enjoyed the food. Dinner was just as delicious as our food tasting meeting and although we didn't try the appetizers beforehand, they were also a huge hit at our wedding.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who looking for a Bay Area wedding venue- trust me, Bridges will take care of you and you won't regret it!

One of the best decisions I've ever made was selecting The Bridges as my wedding venue. I got married at the Bridges on 7/21/17, and it was without a doubt the most perfect day I could have ever imagined. From the moment I toured the Bridges (the grass terrace where the ceremonies take place, and the garden pavilion where the reception takes place) I completely fell in love. I had researched about 30 venues online, saw about 6 in person, and once I saw The Bridges, I knew it was the one. It was everything I was looking for in a venue - pretty view for the ceremony, and an open space for the reception.
From the first interaction I had with Sandy and her team, I was blown away by their kindness, understanding, and responsiveness. Being in the event industry myself, I know how hard it is to keep up with all of the big and little details, e-mails, dates, etc. The way that Sandy and Celena worked made it seem like my wedding was the only big event they had to work on. Being a bride, there's nothing more you can ask for.
Colby was an AWESOME day-of planner, and we will never forget our tasting with sweet Sylvia. The food was amazing (all of the guests LOVED their meals). I used Peters Photography, Denon & Doyle, and Pleasanton Rentals which are all preferred vendors - they were all great to work with as well! Sweet Events Bay Area did our dessert table/candy bar, and Traveling Tiger was our videographer - they were both amazing as well! I really do not have one thing to complain about. All brides should definitely look into having their wedding here.

Outstanding amazing wedding venue!! We're so happy we went with The Bridges. Everything was perfect! We loved the venue the first day we took a look and talked to the staff. We planned for one year out and the dates were already competitive!
We had our ceremony on the outdoor lawn, cocktail hour in the clubhouse and balcony space, and reception inside the large banquet hall (we did a venue buy-out). With 190 guests, it was worth it to rent the entire place! This gave us lots of space and freedom to move around and enjoy the venue. Initially we had almost chose another venue due to a better date, but so glad we didn't and stayed with The Bridges because they were the most perfect choice!
The food was so good! During the food tasting, we made some notes and suggestions to alter the dishes to our liking such as less salt or more or less flavor here and there, and on the day of, they really took note of our preferences because the food came out exactly how we wanted, AND still warm from the kitchen. That's impressive. The staff is truly amazing and sincere. They go out of their way to make things happen and pay close attention to every detail.

Bridges was a fantastic venue to host our wedding at. I fell in love with it at first sight and knew it was the perfect place for us. From the very beginning, the staff at Bridges was incredibly responsive to our every question, no matter how big or small. Their attention to detail was so appreciated, especially since we were planning our wedding from New York. We got so many compliments on everything, from the food, to the venue to the service. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. I would highly recommend Bridges to anyone looking to get married in the Danville/San Ramon area!

Wow, wow, wow! That is all I have to say! My husband and I got married at The Bridges Golf Club this past weekend on the day after Thanksgiving. The wedding was nothing short of magical! After searching and touring over 20 different venues, we decided to go with the Bridges because they had all the elements that were were looking for. Their prices were reasonable, the space was beautiful, and it was very convenient for our guests.
We booked them over a year and a half in advance. They are quite the popular wedding venue. We had our wedding on a Friday because they threw in a lot of extra perks for Friday or Sunday weddings. Not only were the meals discounted, but they also threw in gold chargers and chivari chairs. Most other venues were charging extra fees to rent those items (~$7 per chair). We decided to do the venue buyout, which meant that we did our ceremony outside on the Garden Terrace, our cocktail hour in the Clubhouse, and the reception in the Garden Pavilion.
Sandy and her team were extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. I must have emailed Sandy once a day in the month leading up to the wedding. She usually responded the next day and answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding, their banquet manager Silvia was there to ensure everything went smoothly. She was in constant communication with our day of coordinator and she helped orchestrate all the behind the scenes tasks. Our wedding week said it was going to rain on our wedding day and Silvia eased my fears by saying that they can always make a switch to the inside Fireside room if it did start to rain that day. Fortunately, the weather ended up being perfect and we were able to have our outside ceremony. At the end of the night, my husband and I gave her a big hug as she wished us congratulations. Overall, I would highly recommend The Bridges Golf Club to anyone because they really can make your dream wedding come true!

From the very beginning the staff at the Bridges Golf Club were so great to work with. Sandy, the Director of Catering Services was quick to respond to my endless emails and questions and was so flexible with our requests. Since I did not hire a wedding coordinator, it was so great to receive the stress free customer service the Bridges staff provided. As for the wedding itself, the bridal party was well taken care of. They make sure that there's a place to hide in the gift shop after the ceremony and even set out a table of hors d'oeuvres, champagne and cocktails for the groomsmen and bridesmaids after the wedding ceremony. Their event captain and the rest of the event staff were so well organized and made sure that the entire wedding ran smoothly from the ceremony set up to the sparkler send off and conclusion. We were so happy with our experience and our guests had a great time.

My husband and I recently got married at the Bridges and we are so happy we did! Everything was fabulous and the staff is incredibly easy to work with. The venue is also beautiful and can accommodate a large party. Whenever I emailed Sandy she would respond within the day (usually an hour) and was always so friendly. The cost is well worth it for the service that you receive. The day before we brought things to be set up and then picked them up the day after the wedding. Colby was there for our rehearsal and day of and was so knowledgeable and easy to work with. The whole experience was so easy and I was really able to enjoy the process. I would choose the Bridges over and over again for my wedding day!!

We had our wedding here 6/17/16.
It was an amazing day, and The Bridges was the PERFECT place to have our wedding. The staff is responsive, professional, flexible with your budget/special requests, and very personable and easy to work with (Sandy was our main contact, and Colby was our day-of coordinator). They are an amazing staff, and all the people on the day-of who made the day so special did a terrific job. I really didn't have to think about anything on my wedding day besides just celebrating with family and friends! It is a beautiful venue (just go visit and you will see!), and it doesn't even need a lot of decoration/extra lighting, etc. to make it beautiful. The location is perfect; near lots of hotels, and close to the big bay area cities. I cannot say enough good things about the Bridges; they made my wedding day perfect, stress-free as possible, and so memorable.

We were married May 22, 2016. For all of our planning we dealt with Sandy. She was very responsive to our needs. We had a very fusion wedding tat blended Pakistani, Lebanese, and American cultures and traditions together. The day of the wedding was well organized, and the staff pulled out all stops to help us that evening and make our ceremony and reception go smoothly. We had the Bridges at full-capacity, with babysitters and children dining in another room next door. The people we dealt with on wedding day were amazing with their hustle: Sylvia and Jaime were very attentive and helped us to feel like family.
We bought out the entire venue for the event. For pictures, Sylvia shuttled us and the photographers around in their golf cart limo, and that helped pictures to be done much faster.
The appetizers they circulated before the reception were displayed elegantly and slightly tailored to suit our needs: we added a halal entrée, and a custom pita & hummus appetizer. Our guests were very satisfied with the food, reporting it was some of the best that they'd had as far as weddings go.
The venue itself was stunning with a beautiful view of the hills, and at sunset, the reception halls were well lit by the sun with picturesque hills in the background. The venue is so nice, and décor so tasteful that you don't need too many added decorations. Overall, I was very impressed by the Bridges, and I loved my experience with them.
Our only nitpicks were that we didn't want alcohol or sodas served at the wedding, but they couldn't offer us other options like iced tea or other non-alcoholic low sugar drinks during reception. Also just as an FYI, they don't allow taking home leftovers of their food, and if you are buying one expensive entrée from a higher level menu and other entrées from less expensive menus, they still charge as if all entrees were the higher price, which is too bad, but hey, its a business.
Honestly I loved our wedding. Big thanks to Bridges staff for delicious food, awesome event coordinating and event management, prompt responses and helpful guidance.

The Bridges was worth every penny! We had amazing weather for our April 2016 5:00 pm wedding. Everything went smooth. We went with a Spanish theme and from the tile on the roof to the roses in the garden everything flowed together. We had our ceremony outside on the grass with the white rose bushes as our back ground. Cocktail hour was held at the Club House and although it was warm out all the doors were opened to let our guest sit outside or inside.
The Grand Pavilion was perfect, loved how there was enough space for our tables, there was more than enough room to dance and the sunset and night views were amazing.
We planned our wedding for a little over a year and Sandy was great to work with. I do not regret anything at all, having our wedding at the Bridges was a dream come true.

The only things we were really picky about when it came to our reception venue was the food and the affordability. Lucky us - The Bridges had AMAZING food and was incredibly affordable compared to all the other venues we looked at - PLUS the venue is absolutely beautiful!
We communicated with Sandy throughout the entire process and she was always so quick to answer our questions and made the entire process go incredibly smoothly. I could not recommend this place enough!

We had our winter wedding at Bridges this last weekend. It was absolutely beautiful. Sandy was so helpful, patient, professional, welcoming, accommodating, and so, so much more! She answered all of our MANY questions in a timely manner and was always so kind about it. The rest of the Bridges staff did a great job from setting up for the ceremony and reception, and the food was AMAZING! If you haven't tried their pumpkin soup, you need to! Thank you Sandy and everyone else for your hard work. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding!!

I had my wedding last month at the Bridges and I could not be happier.
The overall process of booking, choosing the food and drinks, doing the timeline and finishing touches was seamless. I planned everything myself and between me and them we accomplished a beautiful and fun wedding! (note that I was 6.5 months pregnant too!)
The location is gorgeous, I had my ceremony on the grass and the reception in the clubhouse. Minimal decorations and lights were needed which helped a lot since I did not have a florist!
Our families both came from other continents, everyone was impressed by the location and experience!
The whole staff was friendly, helpful and basically just here for us!
The bride's room is a little small so I decided to get ready at the nearby Marriott inn, I stayed 2 nights so it was perfect!
If you are looking for a beautiful location without the hassle, this is your place! Plus you can go back and have brunch whenever you want to re-live your big day !!

I just got married on 8/29/2015 at the beautiful Bridges Golf Club. the day was just perfect! From the very beginning we had the best experience with the ladies who run the wedding department. The initial tour of the venue was just amazing, we fell in love. Throughout the year of planning, I was in constant contact with the ladies,(Rachel,Sandy and Katie)any question I had, they answered right away with just a quick email! And fyi, I had ALOT of questions! When it came to the day of rehearsal, I was fairly certain that I wouldn't be able to just hand over everything and expect it all to come together like I had envisioned, but Andi our day of coordinator was just so amazing, I felt no worries at. She made my dream wedding come true with her awesome staff! The day could not have been more perfect! All of our family and friends raved about the food and had such nice things to say about how helpful the staff was. I would 100% suggest this venue to anyone looking. You seriously wont find better!

Our July 17, 2015 wedding at Bridges Golf Club was absolutely the most beautiful day of my life! From beginning to end, the day ran so smoothly! The food was out of this world delicious, and we have been getting non-stop compliments on it! Our guests have also expressed to us how kind the serving staff was as well! Every single little (and big) request/table/etc. I had was executed perfectly the day of. And as any planning bride knows, that is one of the anxious feelings we all have! Bridges rocked it! From the very beginning, Katie M. (catering sales manager) and Sandy T. (director of catering) were so unbelievably helpful and sweet. I’ll never forget the feeling of the first time we came to visit and how pumped up they got us! We knew it was the perfect place for our wedding, and we booked that day! The ladies took the reins from there and kept excellent communication with me throughout the next year…they made life so easy, I almost felt like I wasn’t doing anything at times! We were introduced to our day-of captain, Andi, the night before the wedding and she was amazing as well. It was impressive to us how much she knew about our wedding without being there from the beginning! I felt instantly calm after meeting her, especially knowing that the day would run in her care. The entire Bridges staff as a whole works together like a well-oiled machine! Everybody we worked with on staff was genuine, kind, and respectful at all times. That meant a lot to Travis and I. One of my favorite things about Bridges is that you could have a wedding there without even decorating at all, it is simply gorgeous on its own! Needless to say, I love bridges. I would recommend Bridges 1,000 times over to anyone who wants an absolute gem of a venue for a great price! Our wedding day was the best day of my life and Bridges will always hold a very special place in my heart!

I had my wedding here 6.26. It was a Friday night, and the best party ever. The team there is professional and easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about any details the day of. It was so nice to just enjoy myself and not think about anything but having fun. Sandy and Katie responded to all my insane questions quickly via email and were flexible when I needed to meet with them. Andi was our day of coordinator and is fun, professional...she's great.
The venue is beautiful. We had an outdoor ceremony. It was blazing hot, but the wind picked up and we got to cool down a bit. :0p Food was good - we received a lot of compliments. I didn't eat much, but my husband finished up whatever I didn't eat. hehe.
Everything moved seamlessly. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. It was a great night.

I had my wedding here Thursday July 2, 2015. After looking for venues across the bay area, it became clear that we would get the most bang for our buck with Bridges, without sacrificing quality or beauty.
Bridges was the only venue that offered both beautiful outdoor AND indoor ceremony options. I had noticed last year that a lot of places only offered nice outdoor ceremony locations but their indoor ceremony and reception locations were mediocre or resembled a community center space. Seeing as I'm not one to gamble on weather, I was looking for a place that had a beautiful indoor space for both the ceremony and reception. Enter Bridges.
The ceremony took place in their fireside room in front an enormous white columned fireplace with chandelier hanging overhead. The reception took place in their clubhouse (connected to the fireside room) which was equally as lovely and conveniently connected to the bar. Our guests were able to seamlessly transition from the fireside room ceremony to the bar and then dinner. We also had use of the outdoor patio throughout the event to sit back with their cocktail and overlook the beautiful golf course and hills.
For dinner we chose the beef tenderloin, wild mushroom chicken, and spinach and cheese raviolis, and side salad. While we didn't get to sample the raviolis during our tasting, we chose them based on previous yelp reviews and based on the feedback we received, they did not disappoint. We particularly enjoyed the beef and chicken and overheard a table say how awesome the beef was.
Katie was our sales manager throughout the planning stages and she was always very pleasant and prompt with any questions I had.
Andy was our event coordinator. She led us through our rehearsal and kept things rolling behind the scenes before and during the ceremony and reception.
All of the servers and bartenders we encountered with warm, friendly, and professional.
I highly recommend Bridges if you are looking for a venue that offers a variety of gorgeous settings and tasty meals without having to take out a loan. May I also recommend a weekday wedding? The perks were awesome! You will NOT regret getting married here. Just take a tour and see.

We had our small wedding here in May of 2015. I couldn't have been more pleased with how everything was handled..customer service, food, cleanliness, timing, everything. We worked with Katie from the moment we booked this venue until the day of the wedding, she was always helpful and happy to answer all of my questions and returned emails in a timely manner. We also worked with Rachel and Andi the day of the wedding, they also were very helpful in making sure all of the details to the wedding were in place.
I believe for what we paid to host our wedding at Bridges, was well worth it! The food was amazing, the staff were awesome, and everyone raved about how stunning the grounds of Bridges Golf Club were. I only wished that the day had gone by a bit slower so I could have enjoyed it a little more :)

Our decision to have our wedding at the Bridges is one of the best ones we have made! It's a beautiful location with great views and many places for great photos. We chose to have our ceremony in the Fireside Room and the reception in the View and Fireside Rooms. We had a vision of what we wanted the space to look like and we were not disappointed. We primarily worked with Katie and we can't say enough about her. She was always quick to respond and happy to provide suggestions. The event team has thought through every detail and were happy to accommodate our requests. They "day of" staff was phenomenal and every last detail was taken care of for us. From small details such as giving children their meals first to the bigger details of dinner service in general, everything was flawless! Christina & Steve 2.27.15

From the moment I saw the View and Fireside room, I knew it was the perfect venue for my small/intimate wedding. It's absolutely gorgeous and the customer service is top notch! They also have the Garden Pavilion for bigger weddings...so save yourself some time and headache and stop by to see how breathtaking your big day can be!
I had the pleasure of working with Katie, Sandy, Marisa and Jaime.
THANK YOU for the VIP treatment! I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends.
