The Mountain Terrace
Woodside · San Mateo County · redwoods
A meadow above Woodside with the bay beyond it, a redwood grove at the edge and a lodge for the reception. Amplified music is confined indoors, so the outdoor ceremony stays acoustic.
No confetti, rice or sparklers. Flower petals are allowed outdoors with a $100 cleanup fee. No outside catering.
The practical details
Capacity
Up to 300
Lawn 300 seated, or up to 400 for a morning ceremony. Terrace 190 seated.
Indoor capacity
120
Indoor dining room 120 seated.
Rain backup
Partial
The indoor room at 120 is well below the lawn's 300, so a full-size outdoor reception does not move indoors intact.
