        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!
