When it's not being a venue for weddings, it's a staff lounge opening during school hours providing lunches.The ambient takes you back to 1800s, well maintained. Foods were average.

Adobe Lodge made our wedding reception dreams come true! We got married in June 2023 and cannot imagine having our reception anywhere else. We got married at the Mission Santa Clara and so it was very easy to have our guests walk over to the Lodge. Cocktail hour and dinner were served al fresco and then we went inside for dancing and cake! It was great to coordinate everything thing through Adobe Lodge, specifically through Hailey, the Director of Catering. She helped up bring the vision to life ever since we booked the location a year before. All rentals are through their partner, so deciding on place settings and colors was very streamlined. We upgraded to bistro lighting and cannot recommend it enough. All of our guests LOVED the reception space! The surrounding Mission gardens brought such beauty to the overall space.

We hosted our wedding reception at Adobe Lodge this summer. The building is historic and has a very unique style that we liked a lot, and there are lovely gardens outside. We had our cocktail hour and dinner outside on the lawns and then moved inside for cake cutting and dancing. We also had access to an enclosed porch and outdoor patio area, which were great to allow guests to spread out and rest from partying. Our wedding ceremony was held at the Mission next door, which was very convenient since we didn't need to arrange transportation.We primarily worked with the catering director, Jessica, because they were short staffed during COVID. Jessica was helpful but very difficult to get in contact with, presumably because of the short staffing. Communication was definitely the most frustrating and stressful part of working with Adobe Lodge. However, she did make sure things ran smoothly. Adobe Lodge hosts a lot of weddings and other events, so they know how to keep things working efficiently.We were required to use their catering company (Bon Appetit) for all food, with the exception of the cake because their kitchen wasn't fully reopened after COVID. We sampled the food a few months before, and it was surprisingly good considering the caterer seems to specialize more in corporate and university catering than weddings. On the wedding day, the dinner service was very professional and efficient.Adobe Lodge works primarily with Danny Thomas Party Rentals for the chairs, linens, etc. The default options are included with the venue rental price, but we upgraded some of the rentals (chairs, silverware, and glassware). The default chairs in particular didn't look very nice in our opinion.Parking was a bit inconvenient for guests since it's on the other side of the SCU campus, but it wasn't a big problem (and there are a few spaces adjacent to the Adobe Lodge for vendors, pickup/dropoff, etc.).In terms of pricing, the venue rental price was very reasonable, but the food and beverage package was overpriced and was by far the most expensive part of our wedding. The rentals were also more expensive than we planned for, so we had to limit what we upgraded.Overall, we're glad we hosted our wedding reception at Adobe Lodge. It was stressful due to the communication issues, and the food and beverages cost more than they should have, but those were outweighed by the good parts.All photos in this review except the last one were taken by Trevor & Elisebeth (@trevorandelisebeth).

Stunning decor and atmosphere. Great customer service and dinning experience. The food choices are plenty and the food taste great and fresh. Their sandwiches are amazing, along with their salad bar.

'66 Class reunion and other events here. Beautiful venue
Recently had the pleasure of working as a Dj for a wedding at this venue. Beautiful venue for any type of event. Grecia was my point of contact and I can say she was very easy to work with. Her and I spoke multiple times prior to the event and she was able to provide me everything I needed. Grecia and her team were very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend not only the venue but the team for any occasion.

We just had our wedding at the Adobe Lodge and we couldn't have been happier with Jessica and the staff. Jessica was incredibly helpful and patient through the entire process! The Adobe Lodge was a one stop shop - tables, lighting, linens, food, beverage. Having most of our event needs in house made the entire process so much easier! Jessica also helped coordinate with our vendors (florist and DJ) coming onsite before the start. Also, the location was perfect being next to Mission Santa Clara where the ceremony was. The gardens themselves were stunning and the back patio made for an enjoyable evening for those wanting to a break from the dancing. Overall it was truly a perfect venue for our evening reception!
