Featured Terrace Room Weddings

Here are some of my favorite weddings at the Terrace Room.

Whether you have your ceremony & reception at the Terrace Room or just your party afterwards, the Terrace Room is a gem of a venue right here in Oakland with a wonderful staff to help make your wedding day dreams come true! And not to mention, their food is pretty dang good too!

“We booked Cherlyn for our wedding and engagement photos and she did such an incredible job! The day was supposed to be clear and beautiful for our engagement photos but once we got to the beach - the fog rolled in but the photos ended up being so beautiful and very SF. It couldn't have turned out better! For our wedding, we don't like doing many posed photos and really wanted her to just capture all the moments throughout our wedding and they all turned out amazing! She is so easy to work with and laid back. We're so glad we booked Cherlyn for our wedding!” - Francis

Getting ready & first looks took place at the Oakland Marriot City Center and then a quick shuttle ride to the Terrace Room.

Getting ready took place at Moxy with their ceremony at Piedmont Community Church, which allowed us to use Piedmont Park for some additional formal portraits.

Then it was full party mode at their reception at the Terrace Room.
