Stunning redwoods, unforgettable food, and a coordinator who thought of everything
We got married at Mountain Terrace in Woodside in June 2026 with about 100 guests, and we couldn...'t have asked for a more beautiful setting. The redwoods are breathtaking and made every moment of the day feel magical. We also loved the Terrace Suite, the cozy on-site cottage where we got ready.
Our guests are still talking about the food. Many told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Every dish was a hit, from the Dungeness crab cakes and lobster rolls to the braised short ribs, and the portions were generous. Just weeks before the wedding, I had several contact allergies confirmed. Anastasia passed every detail to Chefs Benny and Nadal, who went through the menu dish by dish and customized both of our plates so we could share food without worry. They also accommodated guests with other dietary needs.
Anastasia was incredible from our first email in January 2025 all the way to our wedding day. We're very detail-oriented planners, and we sent her well over a hundred emails with every question you can imagine, from power requirements for our churro cart to keeping name cards from blowing away in the wind. She answered every single one patiently and thoroughly, and kept our floor plan and timeline updated through every change. She was
always upfront about costs and options. For example, she explained which heaters actually put out the most heat, which helped us make smart choices for our budget.
On the day, she quietly worked in the background while keeping everything on schedule. Several guests commented on how on top of everything she was. She set up all our decoration boxes with ease and adjusted on the fly when it got too cold outside for our guests. When our cake had a mishap on the winding drive up, she stepped in calmly and helped save it.
One tip for future couples: a few tables were served the wrong entrées. We used color-coded dots inside fold-over place cards, which were easy for servers to miss. The team took full responsibility and made it right. Looking back, we'd recommend the venue's printed entrée icons, which servers can spot at a glance.
Thanks to Anastasia and the Mountain Terrace team, we were able to relax and enjoy our day. We highly recommend Mountain Terrace to any couple looking for a stunning venue, amazing food, and a team that truly has your back!
