The pier at Nick’s Cove was the perfect setting for our intimate (COVID) wedding. While the boathouse itself is public property, the staff at Nick’s went out of their way to support our event. Tomales Bay at sunset is a pretty spectacular way to exchange vows and Nick’s hamburgers in the boathouse made for a perfect wedding feast!

We recently had our outdoor Traditional American Ceremony only on (August 31, 2024) at Riggers Loft, and I can't sing their praises enough! From the breathtaking views to the exceptional service, every detail was impeccable. Special shoutout to Chef Frank, whose culinary talents truly shone through—our guests are still raving about the fantastic food. Since it was a outdoor ceremony only event, we wanted to provide our guests with small bites before the start of the procession. We chose: Asian Salmon Tartar on Wontons,
Paper Cone French Fries,
Petit Spam Musubi, Fried Mac & Cheese Bites with dipping sauce of chef’s choice. We did a tasting on each of these prior and they were DELICIOUS! No adjustments were needed. Also to include that Barbara and Chef Frank wine bottle selection was amazing! We even wanted a white wine sangria option for our guests too on a hot summer day. Chef Frank created the recipe and it was a hit! The venue's atmosphere was perfect for our celebration, combining rustic charm with modern elegance. The staff were attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, making our special day stress-free and unforgettable. The airstream onsite was a delightful and unique touch, providing a cozy and stylish space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. It added a special charm to the preparations, making those moments even more memorable. If you're looking for a venue that offers outstanding service, a beautiful setting, and amazing food, Riggers Loft is the place to be. Highly recommend! Thank you, Riggers Loft, for making our dream wedding come true!
