Piedmont Community Hall

9/3/2023 our Wedding.Ivy and her Team were easy to work with. This venue was perfect for our 100 guest Wedding. We invited 150. The Location is perfect and the day went smoothly. I love how they have recommended vendors but you can still use your own to fit your budget We used the Japanese tea house for our Chinese Tea Ceremony with our family, the amphitheater for the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner near the tree and inside dancing plus desserts. Our vendors had no complaints with the staff or location.Parking was a breeze. It does get hot inside the hall while dancing so if it's a night time wedding/ event make sure to bring a jacket if sitting outside.This was the 3rd venue we checked out and it had everything I wanted. Price is comparable for Bay Area venues. I loved the location and the area has many great photo opportunities.

Absolutely love this gorgeous oasis. My wife and I got married here a few days ago and it was like a dream. The people who help run Piedmont Community Hall and Piedmont Recreation Department are always approachable and responsive, not to mention they know their stuff. The staff who sets up and breaks down the furniture is also super nice. Just tip them with a few bottles of wine each

I am the groom/husband writing the review of Piedmont Community Center and I want start by saying that our wedding was one of the greatest experience of my life. I say that because I don't think the experience would have been possible without the perfect setting (which it was) and without a professional staff to go with them (which they were).Piedmont Community Center is not just beautiful, it is richly beautiful. Meaning, from the stairs leading down to the ceremony site, to the paths leading away, to the promenade where you will serve your guests, to the building where dancing takes place and of the Japanese Tea House where the couple can dress and recover to. Every one of these pieces of the tapestry that is the Community Center exudes warmth, charm and serenity.The entire staff is professional. Everything was set up as we needed it well before time so there were no surprises.  When we needed chairs moved at the ceremony site, the staff was happy to oblige. These people have handled plenty of weddings and it shows.Last, a word on the point person we worked with, John. He exuded all that we had experienced from the Piedmont community center: calm professionalism. John showed up to all our appointments on time. He answered all our email questions the same day or the next. He was clear about what the center could and could not provide and was accurate about both. He was clear about where the center could be flexible and where they couldn't.There were no surprises with the Piedmont Community Center and their staff. They delivered and allowed us to have our wedding as we dreamt it could be: magical.

This venue is incredibly beautiful and so accommodating. The staff was easy to work with and the setting was perfect. Our guests all gushed over how pretty the hall and ceremony area was. It was also really affordable.

We absolutely loved working with Piedmont Community Hall! We booked it for our wedding day and they were so responsive and attentive from the very beginning. I can't even begin to count how many emails I sent them with questions and everyone was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me. We even went multiple times to the venue and someone was able to walk us through. We had to change the day and our ceremony location throughout the process and everyone was so patient and kind as we figured it out. I can't even begin to say how helpful they were throughout this whole process.Such an amazing price and such stellar help from everyone who works at Piedmont Community Hall. It is absolutely beautiful with multiple ceremony locations. Go for a walk around the park, it is absolutely gorgeous. Available to add on extra hours (for an extra cost) to your rental agreement. Truly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

The venue is so beautiful and we chose it because we were able to truly customize our wedding. We got married in the amphitheater, which is gorgeous and full of beautiful trees. We were supposed to have our reception on the patio, followed by dessert and dancing in the hall, but the wind had other plans. We were still able to have a beautiful reception in the hall. The staff leading up to the event was quick to respond, and happy to have us visit the site with our vendors for walk throughs. The hall books up fast, so if you're wondering if you should book it ASAP, the answer is yes.

My now-husband and I switched wedding venues six months before our wedding and happily settled on the Piedmont Community Hall. We chose a Friday wedding in June (weekends were booked - book a weekend super far in advance!); we rented the ceremony site in front of the redwood trees behind the Hall, had an outdoor dinner and did dancing and a photo booth inside the actual hall. First of all, talk about a reasonable price (not cheap, but not expensive) and the perks that it comes with. Great communication throughout with the entire staff and wonderful flexibility. Chairs and tables are included in the rental; you can also bring in any caterer or bartender as long as they are licensed. The venue is so naturally beautiful. We were really able to simplify decor and costs because of the natural beauty here at this location. The hall's floors had also just been redone about a month or two before the wedding - the hall is gorgeous! With many of our guests coming from out of town, it was important to us that the venue was easy for people to find and that they wouldn't have to drive to a second location. This was absolutely perfect and made it easy (for young and old) to feel like they could relax and have a good time. Ample parking all around.My only complaint was the rental hours - we ended up purchasing extra hours so we could come in and setup early. With there being no event before ours, I didn't quite understand why we weren't able to setup free of cost but - everyone's gotta make money, I guess!Regardless, changing venues to the Piedmont Community Hal was one of the best decisions we made in terms of our wedding. June was perfect - the golden hour was breathtaking and I will never ever forget seeing all of my loved ones in what has turned into one of my favorite places. Best day of my life. Lots and lots of love - not just at our wedding, but in that location.

Ivy and the entire Piedmont Community Hall staff were terrific to work with. They are kind, responsive, and attentive.

We had our wedding here on a Saturday in August, and it was incredible! We hosted 150 people and everyone fit comfortably in the amphitheater and the outdoor patio. We did the ceremony in the amphitheater (note: we bought seat cushions for the upper seating area and added an aisle runner to cover the grate), then had cocktail hour in the Japanese Tea House and outdoor patio (one bar in each), dinner was in the patio, and dancing in the hall (the DJ added some lights for the party). We added additional hours on the front & back end to help with event setup and tear down (booked venue from 12pm-12am; asked guests to arrive at 3:30pm and leave at 11pm).The venue on its own is so beautiful! Because of all the natural beauty in the venue (such as the flowers in the main area of the patio), we felt we could spend less on additional flowers. Our guests loved the space and felt it was very "Californian". The ceremony area was mostly shaded (except for a few of the back seats). We worked with Ivy, who is incredibly organized and asks all the right questions. She always responded very quickly. The staff at the venue on the day of the event was also helpful and kind. Other things to note: - to do the hora, we had to bring our own chairs because they do not permit lifting people on their folding chairs- the venue's coffee maker and ice maker were easy to use and cut down on catering costs- we had to buy insurance, but this was relatively cheap ($200) and Ivy helped buy it for us

This is one of the most popular wedding venues in the Bay Area for so many reasons - it's really the Best!! We chose to have our ceremony in the redwood grove, cocktail hour at the Japanese Tea House, and dinner/dancing in the hall with 70 guests - the fact that you can have 3 gorgeous settings all right next to each other in a place with amazing architecture, varied and meticulous landscaping and majestic redwoods with ample parking all around the park, one of the most affordable venues in the Bay Area... What more could you possibly ask for? We did our getting ready photos in the teahouse and there are endless photo opportunities all around the park. They have a kitchen and provide tables and chairs, and in the hall, there is a low stage where my husband and I sang to each other :) Just as valuable as all of the amenities at this venue is Ivy, the venue coordinator! She is a gem of a human being - so professional, organized, flexible, such a reliable communicator! She was so supportive every step of the way with drawing up floor plans and seating charts, answering so many questions, making sure everything would run smoothly the day of our wedding, which it did! Guests were stunned by the natural beauty of this venue in each of its locations and we feel so lucky to have been able to have our wedding here. Many thanks to Ivy and the staff at PCH for making our day so magical!
