The Mountain Terrace sits in the redwoods above Silicon Valley, tucked into the hills of Woodside where the forest stays quiet and contained. Mature redwood trees surround the property, creating soft shade and consistent light throughout the day. It feels secluded and calm, with the venue integrated directly into the landscape rather than placed on top of it.

Ceremonies take place outdoors among the trees, followed by a short and intuitive transition into the reception spaces. The layout is compact and walkable, allowing the day to move naturally without long gaps or logistical friction.

The outdoor deck has been recently remodeled and is designed to seat all guests for dinner. Heat lamps allow the space to be used comfortably into the evening, extending outdoor dining without forcing a move indoors. The deck remains visually connected to the forest, keeping the reception grounded in the setting.

Indoor spaces are available if weather shifts, with lodge style interiors and large windows that maintain a connection to the surrounding redwoods. These areas function as true alternatives rather than backup rooms.

Light filters through the trees in the late afternoon and stays even and diffused. The environment is quiet, shaded, and controlled, which supports a steady pace and a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish.

If you are getting married at The Mountain Terrace, the space works best when it is allowed to do what it was designed for. An outdoor focused day with smooth transitions and a setting that supports the experience rather than competing with it.
