Chabot is an awesome and unique place to have a wedding or other event. We had our wedding ceremony outdoors by the telescopes (the planetarium was our backup rain location). Our cocktail hour was in the museum (second floor of Spees) and our reception was in Astronomy Hall. Since Chabot is in the middle of a redwood forest, there are lots of great places for photos. Chabot looks so cool that you don’t need many decorations. And the public telescope viewings on Saturday night provide an awesome activity for wedding guests who don’t like to dance. Our guests thought the venue was awesome. Perhaps the best thing about Chabot, however, is how helpful the staff is. Samantha Stevick, the Associate Director of Events, was particularly amazing. She was on top of everything and gave us so much helpful advice and good vendor recommendations. If she wanted to start a side business as a wedding planner, she absolutely could do it. It’s also great that you can pick your own caterer so you’re not stuck with some venue’s boring food. There were enough great options on Chabot’s preferred caterer list that we went with one of them, but we could have paid a bit extra to have any caterer we wanted. We were strongly encouraged by Chabot to choose a preferred caterer as the caterer has to do all of the set up of tables, chairs, etc. (for ceremony and for reception) in addition to food. The caterer can only do setup starting at 5pm when the museum closes, which does not give them much time (our ceremony started at 6pm), so it helps to have a caterer who is experienced with the venue. We went with Blue Heron and we really loved their food; they also did a great job with event setup. Note that if you go with Chabot, the biggest expense of your wedding budget will be the caterer as the caterer will provide all of the setup and furniture for the event in addition to food and drink service. Therefore, if budget is of concern, I would recommend getting a rough quote from one or more of Chabot’s preferred caterers prior to booking the venue so that you can get an idea of what the rough cost of the venue + furniture + setup + catering would be. Worth noting: Chabot has strict rules about fire and anything that could make a mess. Candle flames must be two inches below the glass. No sparklers. No flower petals, glitter, rice, bird seed, etc. But it’s worth it, it’ll just force you to be creative. We had our flower kids use bubble guns (a suggestion from Samantha) instead of flower petals.

Riggers Loft Wine Company

5.0

Richmond, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Riggers Loft is situated on the edge of the San Francisco Bay. It is urban chic with high loft ceilings and wooden trusses that invite further decoration. The venue is filled with windows looking out onto the bay with the city skyline directly across the bay. The inside space is 7000 square feet with a footprint that is malleable, and is easily and beautifully delineated by racks of wine barrels. Outside is a 5000 square foot patio overlooking the bay. Many lovely ceremonies have taken place there with sailboats drifting by, and seagulls and sea lions making their entrances as well.

You cannot beat this venue--and especially not in the Bay! Let's be honest, your guests have been to a thousand rolling hills/greenery/farmhouse weddings. They want something different! Enter Riggers. A GORGEOUS view of San Francisco right on the water, industrial chic vibes, walls aligned with wine barrels, string lights as far as the eye can see, boats passing by during the ceremony. Like a legitimate foghorn happened during our vows--where else can you get that?? Our guests LOVED it and kept telling us how unique the venue was. Plus fabulous wine and champagne and a great price! We chose the option where the venue stayed open to everyday customers during our wedding (they partition off half the venue for the wedding using wine barrels)--and not only did this not detract, it actually added to the experience! We loved seeing these people we didn't know watch through the windows, and after our crowd cheered at the end of the ceremony, we came inside and that crowd of strangers cheered, too! It was phenomenal, and that setup also allows us to keep our costs low in one of the most expensive areas to have a wedding in the country. To top it all off, the staff is wonderful. Barbara and Kevin were incredibly responsive, and the bartending staff was as nice as they come. We love Riggers. I cannot imagine doing our wedding anywhere else--and you shouldn't either. It will forever be a special place for us. So excited that we can go back as everyday customers and relive the most perfect night over and over.

The Lighthouse Glen Cove Marina

5.0

Vallejo, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,000

Welcome to the Lighthouse - a serene waterfront oasis and event property for weddings, special celebrations, corporate events, and more. Nestled in Glen Cove among rolling hills and a majestic waterfront—this historic building, originally built in 1910 and moved from another location, is rich in local history and has been renovated to include a combination of modern-day conveniences and historic charm. Your Celebration Awaits at The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina. A one-of-a-kind destination for once-in-a-lifetime affairs. Please note: The Lighthouse is not an all-inclusive venue. As such, clients must hire licensed and insured vendors, including food and beverage, for their Lighthouse event. Please refer to the Preferred Partners page on our website for a list of pre-approved vendors to choose from. The Lighthouse proudly serves and celebrates all races, ethnicities, orientations, identities, and religions.

Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can bring your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee). The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous. Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We are incredibly grateful for the team. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the space perfect accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. We finally got married in September 2023! I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.

The team at Redwood Canyon was absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to have Kat as our main coordinator from Day 1 through our wedding day and she and the rest of the team could not have done any better. The planning was a breeze and the day ran unbelievably smoothly. We can't thank Redwood Canyon enough for making our day Perfect.

Brentwood Rise By Wedgewood Weddings

  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,915

As you drive through the Royal Palm-lined entrance, you quickly see why this wedding venue is a remarkable treasure of Northern California. Enter the picturesque courtyard featuring an artisanal Italian rotunda and glamorous stone fountain. Explore the terrace patio with views of sun-dappled lakes, decorative waterfalls, and majestic landscaping. Head through the spacious lounge area to the grand ballroom with French doors and full-height windows, accented by delicate chandeliers and handsome fixtures. Brentwood Rise by Wedgewood Weddings offers inviting accent lighting for daytime events but truly comes alive with incredible twilight and evening exterior lighting that showcases the exquisite grounds and makes your wedding feel indoor/outdoor at every time of year.

Wedgewood did such an incredible job! Between helping us plan it, to setting it all up for us, to making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was where they needed to be, to boxing it all up for us at the end, the staff went above and beyond to make our day amazing! From the coordinators to catering to the DJ, everyone was perfectly professional while also being super friendly and a joy to work with. It's very clear to me that they all love their jobs. They were also able to work in our budget and figure out the best options for what we wanted. When my husband and I first toured the venue, I was very impressed with how beautiful it was! The gazebo in the ceremony space was absolutely perfect for our vision and the views are gorgeous imo. I loved that there was a bridge type thing that was absolutely beautiful and a great spot for our pictures! The fountain in the ceremony space was a perfect backdrop for family pictures as it's closer to where everyone was and doesn't require stairs. My father-in-law is wheelchair bound and everything was perfect for that too (which I know can be difficult to find). They even surprised us with a picture of our first dance, printed out, in a frame, and on our sweetheart table before we even got there. It also included a very sweet note on the back. It was such a surprise and I'm so grateful for that! It's hanging on our wall as it ended up being one of my favorite pictures. All in all, I would highly recommend Wedgewood @ Brentwood for anyone who is looking for a beautiful space, less stress/overwhelm, and a guarantee that the staff will do their absolute best to make your day as perfect as possible!
