Great location, good value, and a pleasure to deal with

My daughter's wedding was held here. The venue had so much to recommend it and was perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour in the the large patio areas, and dinner and dancing in the Sequoia Room. We had ~100 guests, easily accommodated for a seated dinner leaving a roomy dance floor. The great convenience of having on-site ample parking, and easy accessibility was appreciated by our guests. The facility is well designed, modern, and all on one level. There are also some lovely spots for wedding photos taking advantage of the landscaping around the center. Another huge plus was the ability to use the caterer of our choice (Kitchenina) and other vendors.

Working with the venue representative, Dashawn W., was a pleasure; she was so efficient, responsive, and helpful, from the day we first toured Arrillaga throughout the whole planning process.

The Arrillaga Family Recreation Center was perfect for the wedding - a great venue for a wonderful day!

We loved getting to hold our reception at Arrillaga! The facilities are bright, light-filled, well-maintained, and overall, just gorgeous (especially with the lush, beautifully landscaped attached courtyards--which looked even more beautiful in photos), and our caterer definitely appreciated the use of the very nice kitchen. We booked the Sequoia Room and its courtyard and worked with Ricardo Monroy, who was lovely and very kind indeed (he even allowed us to use the adjacent Oak Room for our tea ceremony gratis). The staff was polite and friendly; the facilities clean and spacious enough to accommodate our medium-to-large-ish guest list; and we thought that the space was a tremendous value for its extremely reasonable price. We did wish that the facility's policy had allowed our caterer to make rental deliveries the evening before instead of on the day of the wedding, and at times it was difficult to reach a staff member when we had questions, since they are very busy. But on the whole, we were delighted with our experience and would definitely recommend Arrillaga to other happy couples who are looking for a great place to host a wedding reception.
