Rosewood Events - A dream wedding and event destination. Rosewood is an elegant, private, country estate with 600 acres of manicured grounds and incredible views. We have lovely flower gardens, extraordinary ridge-top views, a magical first look pergola, lavender and daisy fields, river beds, willow trees, grape vines, redwood groves and 360 degree views! There is a lovely tent for a covered reception for up to 200 that includes tables, chairs, bar, lighting and chandelier. The cocktail reception is held at the gazebo including cocktail furniture set inside an incredible rose garden with Italian string lighting, a fabulous bar and games area. The ceremony can be under a willow or in the great field and includes a custom arbor and ceremony chairs. The welcome beverage area is under an ancient willow and includes the bar. A bride's cottage and groom's quarters, first look pergola, ride to the top of the ridge for sunset shots and so much more await you at Rosewood.

To start, the grounds at Rosewood will literally take your breath away. From the beautiful gardens, to the ceremony views, and the amazing included reception tent – Rosewood has it all. Not only was Rosewood the most beautiful venue we toured, but it had the most to offer. The gardens are so expansive, gorgeous, and well-manicured and there are so many different areas for our guests to enjoy. Other venues had more strict guidelines on what vendors would be allowed, which Rosewood assured us would not be the case. Additionally, the number of rentals needed at other venues far exceeded what we will require at Rosewood. Aside from the venue, Ann and Dan, the owners of the venue, could not be more helpful, knowledgeable, or dedicated. Ann took us on our tour, and I was almost brought to tears with the detailed descriptions given of throughout each segment of the tour. Ann gave us so many touching options that we would have for our day and added professional insight to assist with our planning. Ann has a way of giving you facts and advice without being pushy. As a couple who has no experience with planning a wedding, Ann’s advice was so appreciated. In addition to tips about planning, Ann was able to put both of our minds at ease with how seamlessly our day will run and the promise to be there for us on the big day. Ann and Dan are so dedicated to ensuring your day is perfect and it is very evident with the attention to detail seen around the venue. I cannot wait to write another review after our wedding date next fall. If you are thinking of having an outdoor ceremony in Sonoma County, you cannot beat Rosewood.

Within the Fort Scott campus along the Presidio's western shore, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, this rustic cabin is ideal for wedding celebrations. Feel cozy indoors or step out to the generous lawn with panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline. Dating back to 1937, step into history and enjoy the rustic grandeur of this Army Clubhouse or enjoy the patio and lawn with views of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco city skyline. By choosing this unique, rustic wedding venue, couples can relax with a stress-free planning experience while also hosting a grand event that impresses their guests! As with all Wedgewood Weddings venues, our dedicated event planning team makes everything about the wedding planning experience a breeze.

We are so, so happy with our decision to hold our wedding reception at the Log Cabin at the Presidio. I would recommend the Log Cabin and Wedgewood Weddings to anyone looking for an all-in-one package, easy breezy planning, awesome event planners/coordinators, and a flawlessly executed day. The Log Cabin itself is beautiful, the food was amazing, the drinks were flowing, the flowers were beautiful, and the location in the Presidio is perfect. They have a fabulous team to help you plan and execute the wedding of your dreams! The team (Duckie, Jimmy, and Libby - huge shoutout!) all were awesome to work with through the planning process. Super communicative, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive through the whole thing. They helped us plan the most perfect day and made it so easy on us. Jimmy was our day-of coordinator and deserves extra praise for pivoting gracefully and adjusting the evening’s timeline flawlessly when our shuttles unfortunately were super late to arrive with our guests. The rest of the day-of team were all amazing, too. DJ Abel blew our socks off - we didn’t want typical wedding music, and he totally nailed the playlist and the vibe we were hoping for. I even had a touching moment with the security guard who pulled me aside and said he got emotional during the father/daughter dance, which was such a lovely thing for him to share. Wedgewood as an organization seems to have a very organized, structured approach to wedding planning, which I so appreciated. They were great partners and helped us have the most perfect day on one of the biggest days of our lives!

We had an eight-piece band up on the stage and they sounded fantastic with the acoustics in the room. We had an area cleared up front for dancing and the small round tables in the back with tablecloths and electric candles on them. We served wine and beer from the bar. Much fun was had by all!

We decided on Flying Cloud after visiting several places which seemed similar from online research, but once we were there in person it was head and shoulders above the rest. The venue, capacity to do indoor/outdoor and personal touch from Julia made it a no-brainer choice. We were so happy with this decision as they were easy to work with and on our wedding day everything went smoothly. It was super helpful to run by the following morning to pick up leftover items and everything was nearly stacked and waiting for us so we loaded up and were out of there in no time. From start to finish Flying Cloud was excellent.

Grace Cathedral is openly supportive of same sex couples and unions. All are welcome here.

Before our wedding, one of the most common pieces of advice I got was "not everything will be perfect, so just make sure to enjoy the day, regardless of what goes wrong." Well, our wedding at Grace Cathedral was absolutely PERFECT. Everything was just as I imagined it. Leading up to our big day, Mahogany was wonderful in helping us coordinate and prepare a wedding that felt authentic and true to our vision. Father Greg guided us as we prepared to commit our lives to each other, and gave us such invaluable counsel. The Grace staff was lovely and professional. Our wedding was something straight out of a FAIRYTALE. Months later, people still tell me how unforgettable and awe-inspiring it all was. The venue is breathtaking and the acoustics are incredible. We feel so blessed to have had the privilege of getting married at the most beautiful church in the United States. Highly recommend getting married at Grace Cathedral!
