This venue 110% BENDS over backwards to accommodate all your needs and requests. I'll be honest: I booked this venue before reading reviews and I was really nervous after reading all the negative ones, but our wedding went off wonderfully! The only negative I could think of was one of the tables was missing a chair, but they got my guest the missing chair right away. Yes, there were hiccups along the way: sometimes they respond a bit slow, but they always get back to you; they told me that I could have 2 carving stations, but it had to be reduced to 1 when my wedding was only 10 days away. They were able to have the meat pre-cut and placed into a chafer and added to the buffet line. My guests could not stop raving about the food and I also thought the food was really amazing!! They do not offer private food tastings, instead they have a bi-annual FREE wedding fair for all future brides. I could not attend because I live across the country, but they let me invite 2 of my bridesmaids + 1 bridesmaid fiance to go in my place instead (I think they offer up to 4-6 tickets per bride). Based on what my bridesmaids said I picked what they said was good and avoided the ones that they said were bad. They were also kind enough to let me bring in a few traditional cultural dishes! This venue is all inclusive, but from the past reviews, I ended up hiring my own DJ, wedding day-of-coordinator, bakery for cake and florist. I also hired my own lighting which included a backdrop on the dancefloor. It was a lot more work, but I think this may have been why I was much more satisfied and happy with this venue. One thing that I recommend to all brides is make sure all your rules/requests are IN your BEO (banquet event order)!! They followed this to the T and I am very happy because I also had some cultural rules in the list. If you're looking to have a multicultural wedding, I would say this place is perfect for it! I really felt like they respected both cultures by accommodating all my requests.

Our experience with Fairview Crystal Springs in Burlingame was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we began planning our wedding, less than six months out, Nikki and Abbie were incredibly organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Planning from afar could have been stressful, but their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the process seamless and enjoyable. Our wedding day itself was absolutely magical. Every detail came together beautifully, from the breathtaking views and decor to the flawless coordination that kept everything running smoothly. Avonne's floral designs, especially our centerpieces and sweetheart table arrangement, were stunning. DJ Storm brought so much life and energy to the reception; our guests never left the dance floor! We honestly couldn't have asked for a better team. The Fairview Crystal Springs staff made our dream wedding a reality, and we'll cherish these memories forever. Thank you for going above and beyond to make our day special!

If you do not plan to hire a wedding planner, Fairview Crystal Springs would be the way to go for your wedding, as they offer all-inclusive packages that you can customize. The views at the ceremony site were what sold this venue to us; just be aware that the ceremony and reception sites are a mile apart, so your guests will have to hop back in their cars after your ceremony. Fairview also has transport options between the 2 sites if you're willing to pay their fees. I'd advise you to really be proactive and over-communicate with your coordinator at Fairview. They're not the most responsive via email and some details were almost lost, likely due to how busy they are. You only have 2 details calls with them to finalize how you'd like everything, so be prepared to be a bit flexible with how they place decor. We scheduled our 1 hour ceremony rehearsal the day before the wedding, which was great timing as we were able to drop off all our decor items then as well. Angelique and Lindsay were both so accommodating, especially with the backdrop we brought in ourselves, which made wedding morning a breeze when my husband and his groomsman checked final details in the morning. Everything turned out great; decor was gorgeously placed due to the Fairview team's experience and the food was fairly decent. I'd recommend hiring an external day-of coordinator. While Lindsay and the banquet captain were extremely nice, they weren't very present during our reception, which made cake cutting and some other portions a bit awkward for us. Regardless, we'd still recommend Fairview Crystal Springs for the stunning location, all-inclusive (aka less stressful) planning, and decently priced venue.

Lindsay, Nikki, and Haley were rockstars! We just had our wedding this April 2023 and couldn't have asked for a better experience or more beautiful venue. My husband and I, both locals, knew we wanted a chill wedding planning process, and Fairview was the answer. We went with their preferred DJ (DJ Shawn Storm), florist (Avonne Rosedale Floral Design), photographer (Andy and Vanessa from Everlasting Capture), and bakery (Mazetti's in Pacifica--coincidentally our favorite). And we had absolutely no complaints. We made our own decorations and candy table, and their team was able to accommodate every small detail and idea I had. We felt taken care of during the entire process. However, one piece of advice--I would forewarn your guests that the ceremony and reception sites are a mile apart. We learned this from our rehearsal, fortunately, and was able to sent everyone a heads up to follow the Google Maps (there's a pin for each the ceremony site and the golf club) to a tee. Thank you, Lindsay and Fairview team, for the best day of our lives!

Angelique was absolutely amazing through the entire process. She is truly a gem and I enjoyed working with her. I felt informed and comfortable with her help throughout the entire process. Fairview is so lucky to have her and I recommend all clients to work with her. The facility is gorgeous too and loved the all inclusive package deals.

The first time I saw this venue I fell in love. We only have like less than 3 months and they were able to book us. It was a great place because its all inclusive although their florist wasn't available the day of our wedding, we were able to get one ourselves. They communicated great and I cannot thank them enough for the help. Food was awesome and staffs were great!

From my first call to the last minutes of our reception, my wedding was a wonderful experience Haley, Lindsay, and Nikki, the 3 coordinators, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They always had positive, professional, and friendly attitudes. Very approachable, quick responses to my requests and concerns, and they were always eager to help. They troubleshooted and problem-solved when necessary, handling every one of our dealings with poise, ease, and a great big smile! With a mere 6 months to plan, they truly took a lot of the stress off my shoulders. Every staff member from the chefs, Alex the banquet manager were outstanding! As a result, they executed my vision. The buffet dinner was delicious and plentiful. DJ Shawn Storm knew exactly what he was doing and was super fun, played great songs and kept us on schedule. The service, including bartenders, did an outstanding job too! I received so many comments and compliments from guests for the venue and service. It was one of the worst storms that night, and the staff was able to rally and make last minute decisions to ensure, comfort, safety and that a great time was had by all. A big thank you and high recommendation to Fairview Crystal Springs

We were initially drawn to the gorgeous setting and the fact that the venue was sort of a one stop shop in the sense that they include so much in the package but with the option to pick and choose to customise everything based on your preferences. We put our deposit down the same day even though this was before the remodel that was done in good faith that they were going to do a great job which they certainly did! Since our wedding was scheduled for only two months after the remodel we were told that some of the final details like the up lights and window dressings wouldn't be completed by then but they actually made it happen so again, we were extremely lucky! After putting down the deposit, the original coordinators we were assigned to suddenly wouldn't reply to our emails/calls for days so we were a bit concerned but they were very helpful when they did finally reply. This went on for several months and one day we found out that they were no longer working there and we were assigned a new coordinator, Francesca.  Again we were a bit concerned at the change and the fact that we weren't warned at all but once we started working with Francesca, we were so happy Fairview made the staff upgrade along with the renovation. We felt very lucky to have been with Fairview after that transition happened. We only kept the florist (Rosedale Flowers, Avonne is wonderful!) from all the vendors they offered in the package...we would have used the DJ but he was terrible at the time we were booking and by the time they got the really good new one we already booked ours but wished we didn't. Francesca was so patient, responsive, and accommodating with all of our requests that the more we worked with her the more lucky we felt to have had her as our new coordinator. Amo and the other girls there (Selena and Simone) we also all terrific and we just couldn't have been happier with their help. We gave the staff what we thought was a tall order on some of our decorations and they set everything up perfectly.  The buffet turned out to be a really great option and everyone said the food was really good (We didn't actually get to try the food because we were too busy enjoying all the festivities even though we were warned to eat and Francesca offered to bring food besides the appetizers they had for us at the bridal sweet which, by the way, was also a great bonus to the venue). We even requested a Chilean sea bass that isn't usually one of the menu options but the chef did an excellent job preparing it and the prime rib station was also a great hit and very delicious (we did get to try that at the bridal fair!). Besides the endless email exchanges with Francesca, she and Amo were so attentive and helpful during the whole wedding we really couldn't be more grateful! The only suggestion we would make is before you're drafting the seating arrangements figure out how many tables you're planning to have. We ended up having ten people per 60 inch round table and it didn't seem crowded though that's definitely the max you should put. The reason for knowing how many tables you'll have is to ask for an exact layout of the tables prior to selecting the seats. We didn't do that and it was extremely time consuming every time we submitted a table layout we were told that that layout couldn't be arranged based on the space and the fact that we didn't want any tables on the dance floor so we had to go back and forth a bunch before we finally asked for the layout possible based on our take count and then finalized the individual seats. A couple of suggestions to the venue is that 1) the cocktail area could use some better heating because it was very cold at night and many of our guests seated near there and those that were socializing in that space had to wear coats (our wedding was late April so it wasn't even as cold as it can get) 2) we had a few comments from guests that some of the bar tenders were not very friendly and not knowledgeable with basic drink orders. Overall we'd definitely recommend Fairview for your wedding! But consider the size of the reception area well if you're planning on having more than 150 guests because we had 145 and it felt like more would be too much, especially if you're doing buffet style since the buffet at up takes up a good chunk of the space.

Salmon was the best!! All my guests raved about the food.

See all

I had my eye on this venue way back in 2010 and was so fortunate to be able to get married here in 2021! Claire is the best! She's goes above and beyond to help clients with their needs and provided great communication throughout the entire process. We also really appreciated having Cindi on site to help direct guests, manage the parking lot and overall keep things smooth day of. We did a smaller ceremony in the Dining Room and it was tight but they made it happen for approximately 90 seated guests. We fit everyone comfortably with a dance floor in the Ballroom. There was definitely room for more tables but we had trimmed our guest list down since 2021 wasn't the best time to gather. We loved having a separate Bar Room and also made use of the Dominoes Room for our photo booth. Cocktails Hour and our after dinner Churros Truck was perfect outdoors in the front entrance. The only thing we didn't love was that it gets quite warm in Hillsborough in the late summer and the rooms were a bit stuffy with zero AC. We learned this during our final walkthrough of the space and immediately purchased some large Vornado fans for our Ceremony and Reception areas. We missed getting one for the Bridal Room but we suggest that you do!

What a spectacular wedding reception! Over the weekend, I took my dad up to California to attend…read moreone of his close friend son's wedding. The beautiful reception was held at Hillsborough Racquet Club. What an elegant location for an intimate wedding venue! (see pics). The club had a small bar, and adjacent to the bar was a beautiful medium size ballroom that could probably hold anywhere from 200 to 300 people. I'm not sure if the food was catered in, or if they made it on-site. The buffet dinner served that evening was American, with Prime Rib as the jewel of the evening! Sorry gang.......I was totally pigging out and forgot to get some food pics, but believe me.........the food was excellent! Service was very attentive, as the banquet workers were quick to replenish things (water & drinks), as well as take away dirty dishes from the table. Congratulations to my friends -Will & Leticia! May god bless you in opening a new chapter in your life!

It has floor-to-ceiling glass windows/walls that provide great views of the bay and blue sky above. Our guest list was pretty small, so we had tons of extra room, but the set-up staff made it work really well, filling the space with extra bar tables and couches with coffee tables to provide a variety of areas for mingling and lounging. Between the patio, the main dining area, the dance floor, and the bar/lounge areas, our guests had tons of space and options, and they used it all. We had our ceremony here, too. The fountain provided a very nice backdrop, and the balcony allowed our photographer to get some neat shots of the ceremony and all our guests from above. We were lucky to have pretty much perfect weather on our big day, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the view. They loved taking pictures on the patio with the bay and blue sky behind them. Both prior to and on the big day, Allison was great to work with. She was easily accessible via email, quickly answered any and all questions, and was very friendly and accommodating. On the day itself, the setup and catering/bar staff members were great, too. They were efficient, friendly, and helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, both at the tasting and on the wedding day. Many of our guests shared how much they enjoyed the meal - especially the ice cream sundae bar! On the booze front, we provided the alcohol and mixers for the bar, which likely saved a lot of money; the corkage fees were very reasonable and the bar staff were friendly and kept the drinks flowing. Overall, CSM and Pacific Dining were a great choice for us. Having our wedding at a college felt a little unorthodox at first, but it suited us so well. The space was excellent, the rates were very reasonable, the food was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous day, and if we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing.

What a wonderful facility!…read more This building is very new (only ~1.5 years old) and absolutely beautiful! You walk into a large naturally lit lobby, with local event flyers and news on display, as well as Millbrae branded merch (hats, shirts, etc) for sale. There is a reception desk with staff there to help and answer any questions. I came specifically to pick up a custom SF Giants Kleenex box that I ordered at the recent Millbrae Art & Wine Festival. We were greeted by Laurie, who was very friendly and told us all about what they had to offer at the Rec. Center. Just behind some glass doors near the lobby, is a game room. This is mostly targeted towards kids, with a giant TV and various video game systems to play with. We saw around a dozen kids hanging and playing in this area as we walked by. As you continue down on the first floor, there are classrooms, conference rooms, and even a giant hall that can be rented in full (or half) for private events! They also have a kitchen connected, which is helpful for events serving food. There are several clean and accessible bathrooms, as well as lots of fun historic photos on display. They have a Fitness Center with various equipment, and space for aerobic classes. There's also a room dedicated entirely to Ping Pong! If you get hungry or thirsty, there are two vending machines with drinks and snacks, and several water fountain/refill stations throughout. There is also an entire upstairs area. In addition to private rooms, there is a "Senior Lounge" which has comfortable seating, a large TV, and a half-kitchen. There is an outdoor patio connected up top with over a dozen lounge type chairs to enjoy some fresh air. They also have space for outdoor activities for people of all ages. There are multiple playgrounds for kids, in addition to multiple tennis courts and a large field. The Rec. Department also oversees many other fields (school and other) and a skate park, according to their website! If you live in (or near) Millbrae, you gotta check out this Rec. Center! There is a ton to do, it's super bright and clean, and the staff is all very friendly and welcoming! I'm looking forward to coming back again and utilizing some of these amazing features!
