There is a small parking lot but plenty of street parking. When I walked inside, I was surprised how cool this event hall was. It had a very rustic feel to it. Granted, it's not a big event hall, but it's really nice inside. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Only complaint I have is that this place has terrible air circulation. The giant AC fans were on, but you couldn't really feel it since it was pointed upwards. The more people arrived, the hotter it became inside. I had to step out every 30-45 minutes just to cool down.

Beautiful venue for an outdoor wedding ceremony followed by dinner inside in downtown Sunol. It was…read moreour first time coming to in which the closest town is Pleasanton. Probably one of the most memorable weddings as during the couples vows when a freight train passed by for 5 minutes which caused some laughter by the Officiant and guests. After dinner was served which by the way the pre-selected entrees of steak, salmon and chicken Marsala were actually really good snd not overcooked, the guests were either dancing or waiting in line for their ice cream from Mr. Softee when those inside were told to evacuate due to an electrical fire. Prior to the announcement, many of us had seen the outdoor lights flicker on an off and we thought that someone had accidentally was playing with the light switch. Fire department was called and shortly after we left. Staff was very professional throughout the event and no complaints with the indoor and outdoor venues.

Restrooms inside are super clean, well maintained, and upgraded. High ceilings. Must love the space. There are plenty of free public parking spaces all around the area/on streets/parking lots. Yes, there are also homeless folks living nearby these nicer modern buildings and newer apartments in the neighborhood. Event space is ideal with kitchen and rooms to choose from for private event sessions. Beautiful landscape outside. You can also walk down the block to a Korean food hall place near other community restaurants. Not far from Mega Mart and smaller retail stores. Government offices and medical offices are walkable distance to/from the event center. City did a great job beautifying downtown Fremont area. Lots of potentials here. There's usually a few staffs working inside. The larger room with stage setting can host large wedding parties too. Looks and feels great being inside. Nice.

The actual building itself is a bit old, but you cannot beat the location. You open the patio doors and see the lake right in front of you. The building has chairs and tables provided. There are two restrooms (women's and men's) and a kitchen to prepare or store food. I love the fact that you can utilize both the inside are to store food and have places to sit and the outside area for games or just to enjoy the nice view and sun. Clean up - they require all trash and recycling to be removed and for the floors to be swept clean before you can leave. Parking: can get pretty tight. If you have an event - highly recommend to make it at 12 or earlier to help your guests get priority on parking spots.

I also went last year, and it was fun to see how things changed from year to year. They had new attractions this time, which made it even more enjoyable. I definitely recommend booking your tickets and checking it out! It's kid-friendly, too, so it's a great option for families.

Did the Nightfall event this year and loved it :) The production value exceeded my expectations…read more There are three major areas to walk through: the mansion itself; the meadow just behind; and if you hike a little bit, the woods area. The gardens are closed for the event. My favorite part is the mansion. I loved the decor and all the tiny details the included, like a rotting casserole dish with tiny mushrooms growing out of the mold. My second favorite part is the train tracks in the woods area. It was fun to look at all the tiny, creepy house models they put up. LOTS of details like all the differently-carved pumpkins and scarecrow faces. There was a small hay maze, musicians, and spots to just hang out and enjoy the vibe. There are food trucks, and you can also buy alcoholic drinks, which is great! I got the horchata latte and a spiced pear sangria; neither is fantastic, but it's nice have drinks while you're walking around. The ticket price of $55 for the 6pm entrance was fair, imo, for the production value you get; there's a lot of work put in to setting everything up. A TIP: try to book an early entrance, so you can maximize the time you get; plus it's less crowded when you go earlier, and you can enjoy the grounds when there's still some daylight. The lines get long if you show up later :( I'm not sure why but there was only one ticketing person checking people in, so the move was slow. I did have to change my time and date. This part was kind of terrible; you can't do it online and you have to call in. It's hard to reach live help because they're slammed, so you leave a message or email them. They DO get back to you, but it can be slow. I was lucky that on a re-try call in, I got through to someone. Oh yes, shout out to JACOB :) Once you connect with someone, they're very helpful and nice. But it IS annoying that you can't make the changes yourself and it's hard reaching someone. If you try to book tickets and it's all sold out, don't despair :) People frequently cancel and new openings pop up; just keep refreshing every hour and you should be able to catch tickets even when it's sold out. The night before I changed my time, all the dates and times were sold out. The next day, I guess the staff got through all the voicemail and emailed requests for changes/cancellations, and when I refreshed the page, HALF the time slots had availability! Another tip: dress in layers! It gets cold at night
