We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding here. Natasha Norman was incredible to work with through the entire planning process. She was clear on pricing, set our expectations well, was incredibly responsive, and helped coordinate the event on the day of the wedding. We asked for some extra time to set up the room and, since the room hadn't been booked the day before the event, she let us come in the day prior to get everything in order. Natasha spoke with our DJ and coordinated for his set-up, which was very helpful. The team setting up the event also did the perfect job of setting up the tables and outdoor chairs exactly as we'd asked. I changed my mind on the arch at the last minute, and they had no problem making the change. The wedding was incredible, our guests felt comfortable in their rooms and were pleased they could bring their dogs so they didn't have to hire a dog-sitter. Everyone was impressed by the view and by the fact that the sun was setting behind the sweetheart table in the Bayview Ballroom. I also want to give a shoutout to the banquet manager who made us feel at home, kindly brought us beverages as we were setting up, and took care of us throughout the stay. I’ve received at least half a dozen compliments on the qualify of the food served, and I felt the pricing was very reasonable – especially when compared to other hotels on the water nearby. I also loved that the hotel provided us a contingency plan if we needed to move our outdoor wedding to the indoors because of rain or anything else. We truly felt special and valued and would use this venue again in a heartbeat.

Riggers Loft Wine Company was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the team was efficient, easy, and professional to work with. The venue itself is truly unique, with gorgeous views that made for a stunning backdrop to our special day. They were incredibly flexible, allowing our vendors to easily deliver chairs and linens. Additionally, the in-house catering (shoutout to Chef Frank) was able to work with our budget to provide an incredible meal that all of our guests raved about.

The Terrace Room

  • Starts at $13,500

Oakland’s Most Enchanting Wedding & Celebration Venue Our panoramic view encompasses the blue-green of Lake Merritt and the lush Oakland hills. A special treat for evening events is the Necklace of Lights, which is a chain of lights on ornate Victorian light poles that surround the entire lake

We will forever remember our gorgeous Oakland wedding at the Terrace Room. This venue highlights the beauty of Oakland, especially at night. It’s absolutely stunning. Candi (the event coordinator) was super sweet and worked with us faithfully, even through two COVID-19 postponements. After hearing about all the horrors couples went through with unaccommodating venues, Terrace Room made it easy to stick it out with them to have the wedding we originally wanted. Their food is fantastic as well! We keep getting compliments on it from our guests to this day. Choosing Terrace Room meant knocking out many to-do’s off our wedding planning list, as they provide a lot of services in their pricing. Speaking of price, this place can’t be beat. You get a lot for your money. Take a look at their preferred vendor list as well, they have some winners! Thank you eternally to Candi and Terrace Room for hosting the most beautiful night of our lives.

When my partner and I were looking for the perfect venue for our wedding we looked no further than the Chabot Space and Science Center (CSSC). The team at the CSSC were amazing! They worked closely with us helping to plan the wedding ceremony and reception of our dreams. They are kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. We looked at a lot of venues in our search for the "right" place that was not only beautiful but also affordable. CSSC is affordable compared to many in the Bay Area offering indoor and outdoor event spaces and really cool package options that fit nicely within our budget. We I can't say enough good things about them. We had a small wedding group or 35 guests and I was worried that we would get lost in the museum. The team understood my desire to have an intimate ceremony and reception and they made it happen. They understand the space and how to make the most of it. Although we had planned well in advance, we had to make last minute changes and the team made the changes without drama and upset! I was so calm and happy on my big day thanks to the team making everything work smoothly. Every couple wants their special day to be amazing for family and friends. We all want our guests to have a wonderful time at our wedding. My partner and I had the wedding of our dreams at Chabot Space and Science Center and our guests are still talking about the unique, fun and educational experience they enjoyed!

Plant Connection SF 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 96 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,200

Plant Connection SF’s event venue is a lush and spacious indoor-outdoor urban oasis. Venue rental including private access to a large plant-filled room with a variety of seating options that opens to a verdant rooftop patio complete with panoramic skyline views of downtown San Francisco and Salesforce Tower, a portable bar, portable heaters, an olive and citrus grove and the frequent presence of hummingbirds. A unique feature of our venue is that it is attached to a plant nursery housed in a gorgeous red solarium where guests may shop for plants and gifts during your event, if desired. Plant lovers (and plant lovers to-be) are sure to swoon.

We hosted our wedding reception at Plant Connection SF and we cannot recommend it enough. It is in a lovely, well connected, and safe part of the city. There’s parking and a service elevator. We had 75 attendees and the space was just right for us - beautiful, clean and comfortable. It has plenty of chairs, tables, heaters outside, a bar, folding tables etc. that came in handy and we didn’t have to rent any furniture from outside. Most importantly, Ali and the entire team at Plant Connection SF are such a delight to work with. They were always incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with (responsive via text/email/phone/in-person) - which is hard to find in the wedding venue business. Ali was always so helpful - she offered genuinely useful suggestions, recommended great vendors to us, helped figure out parking validation and was always flexible and accommodating when we wanted to schedule a tour with vendors. She truly helped take away a great deal of stress from wedding planning and was always a joy to work with. Host your event here, and also shop their amazing selection of plants!

Omni Hotel San Francisco 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Four Diamond rated Omni San Francisco Hotel is in the heart of downtown. An ideal choice for a business stay, romantic getaway or California vacation. A short walk from art and cultural centers, the historic cable car line, Union Square and Chinatown, attractions are convenient to reach from our hotel in San Francisco. Our 362 guest rooms are a charming blend of traditional and modern. Relaxing spaces with comfortable beds and warm, welcoming decor.

The Omni made an incredible first impression on us. It’s a beautiful & grand space, but there was something very comfortable about it at the same time. That’s mainly due to Jano Paredes, our event coordinator. He was so welcoming & genuinely passionate about creating a special event for us. We toured two other venues, Julia Morgan & Webster Hall. While these two venues are beautiful, there weren’t nearly as caring or appreciative of our business as the Omni. The Omni made the stressful planning process enjoyable (we planned it in about 3 months!) & they were understanding when we had last minute changes & requests. They were also very flexible throughout the wedding planning. They even swapped out some of the beer in their package so they could bring in brands we liked better. Amanda Maggard is amazing. She managed the accommodations for all the guests. Many of our guests also commented on how incredible the check-in was. It was rainy that weekend, so the Omni was quick to offer complimentary umbrellas. They even gave each guest a free drink voucher at the hotel bar! Amanda also made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable in the Presidential Suite, complete with champagne, ice buckets, & several glasses for my visitors. It’s a lovely space to take getting-ready pictures. I was originally worried the grand ballroom wasn’t going to fit our vision & was torn on using the same space for the ceremony & reception (they have another room available if you’d prefer not to do this), but it was gorgeous! The spaces felt totally unique between the ceremony & the reception. The grand ballroom really provides a blank slate to create something beautiful & it can be difficult to appreciate when it’s completely empty. The mezzanine where the cocktail hour was held is beautiful & needs no additional decorations & the dim sum buffet was a huge hit. Guests loved the reception dinner menu. We went with a plated dinner selection of sea bass, chicken, or oyster mushrooms. The crab soup was delicious & by far the most popular. The passion fruit cheesecake was exceptional, but we also offered our guests a lovely Marjolaine cake slice. Later that evening, the Presidential suite where I initially got ready was transformed into our honeymoon suite. We were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, & two custom Omni robes with our initials embroidered on them (my new initials since I was changing my name). It was so touching that it brought tears to our eyes. The Financial District was the optimal neighborhood to host our wedding. It was very safe & picturesque. We had a several family members nervous about coming to San Francisco because of the negative media coverage, but they all fell in love with the city by the end of the weekend. I know Webster Hall wouldn’t have given us the same treatment (they didn’t seem to care if they had our business or not). Julia Morgan was wonderful, but with the Omni, we just had a feeling we’d be in the best possible hands by people who genuinely cared, & we were right. Now, we love the Omni so much that we had Valentine’s Day at Monte’s two weeks after our wedding & the hotel surprised us with dessert & champagne, as well as a card signed by their staff congratulating us on our wedding. It’s a bar we now frequent because of the quality of service, food/drinks, & of course, our wonderful memories there. The Omni was the absolute best decision of our entire wedding.

Grace Cathedral 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Grace Cathedral is a glorious church and, wedding and reception venue located in San Francisco, California atop Nob Hill. Complete with 90 foot ceilings, curving archways, and stunning stained glass, this wedding venue is an architectural masterpiece and widely sought-after San Francisco landmark. When you book space here, you will have seven distinctive wedding venues from which to choose, and all of them are perfect for whatever style of wedding you would like. Whether you are looking to have a small, intimate gathering or a large wedding gala event of up to 400 people, Grace Cathedral can provide you with the accommodations to hold a fantastic event. Grace Cathedral is openly supportive of same sex couples and unions. All are welcome here.

My husband and I got married back in Sept 2023 and I had always dreamed of getting married at Grace Cathedral since I was a little girl but almost wrote the dream off entirely as I thought it would be far out of our budget to get married there. I decided to inquire with the church (which was an easy process compared to other churches) and the planning team was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with right from the start. This was crucial for us because we were getting married in under three months and didn't have time to spare. We worked directly with Mahogany and she was amazing. She helped us secure a space within the Church called the Chapel of Nativity that was stunning, within our budget and the perfect size for our small wedding. As soon as we secured our wedding date and completed the contract, we received all of the necessary details pertaining to the planning process promptly and the planning team and our assigned Reverend held our hand every step of the way. On that note, we absolutely loved our Reverend Anna who we completed 3 premarital counseling sessions with, and she also officiated our wedding so beautifully. She really got to know us and helped us prepare for the biggest day of our lives and brought us closer together as a couple. The attention to detail throughout the whole process overall was beyond my expectations and the ceremony was so beautiful, emotional and spiritual. It was nice walking to the church on my wedding day and I didn't have to worry about a thing. We covered everything during the rehearsal, and I really felt that even though we had lower cost ceremony, we received the full service from the Grace Cathedral team and were honestly treated like royalty on our special day. The team made every concession possible to ensure all of our wishes were fulfilled to the best of their ability and no detail was overlooked on the big day. I can't thank the Grace Cathedral team enough for everything. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. It was the wedding of my dreams!

The Pearl will forever hold a special place in the hearts of myself and my husband. It was the first venue we toured and we knew right away it was going to make for such a special wedding day. We are now 2 days post wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The entire planning process was a breeze thanks to Carrie. All of our guests raved abut how amazing it was that the ceremony and reception were at the same location! We did our ceremony on the roof, as well as our cocktail hour on the roof. Then we had guests walk downstairs to our reception area. The bartenders were incredible and did a fantastic job keeping our 130 guests well fueled. We hired Melons Catering, a caterer on The Pearl's short list of caterers, who absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to the food. Guests couldn't stop talking about the quality and service of dinner! We are over the moon with how our wedding went and have zero bad things to say about The Pearl, or anyone who works there. If you're looking for a venue that screams urban city, but green and organic as well... look no further, as The Pearl can do it all. 10/10 recommend!!
