As a docent at China Cabin, I talk with people from all over the world who have never seen anything quite as elegant, charming, and unique. Helpful photographs tell the story of how the cabin was removed from the ship upon which it was built, transitioned into an apartment, and then lovingly restored by the Landmarks Society to its original condition. Everyone is amazed at how beautiful it is!

We LOVED the China Cabin for our intimate Commitment Ceremony. We had 29 guests (including…read moreourselves) and the space was beautiful. It is lovely and the natural light that comes through the many windows makes for gorgeous pictures. It was easy working with Paige and the Landmark Society. There is a small bathroom onsite. There is not a kitchen, so your caterer sets up a tent out front. Parking - included all day for your guests (even though it's marked 2 hour limit - Paige hands out parking permits). Other vendors we used: Catering - Fork & Spoon - delicious food, attentive service Photography - Atrium - Dietrich Kraus - wonderful to work with Cake - Butter& in SF - Brown butter and Meyer Lemon - tasty! Flowers - I DIY'd these from Costco (made on Thursday for our Saturday event) - used the garlands at the front and the wreaths around the orchids

The membership has started getting younger due to an influx of SF residents up north, which will be great for the overall atmosphere! The Membership Committee is very welcoming, which is not the typical experience at a private club of this level. You don't need a boat to join, and there's no need: you will be readily invited on all types of sailing and yachting adventures with other members who do have one. They've done some recent renovations and harbor improvements which really add to the elegance of the historic neoclassical building. It's both nestled in bustling downtown and also serene enough for dolphin watching on quiet afternoons.

A very unique, peaceful and magical locale. Mary C.

I felt one with nature at this place. For the wedding ceremony they had an amazing spot next to this old gigantic and photogenic tree that would cover you from the blinding sun. It's beautiful. But I would mark a couple of stars down for the lack of bathrooms (so guests would have to use porta potties, albeit nicer ones, but still it wasn't fun) and also for the really poor lighting on the outdoor "dance floor" (with it being so dark with no lighting whatsoever, I was surprised no one tripped and fell). Not sure what's going on with that. But despite those, I still had lots of fun at this place :)

My husband and I had our green wedding here in late June and couldn't have been more pleased…read more We're water and nature lovers so we wanted to marry next to water (check!) and among California native plants and wildlife (check!). We were married on the tidal beach down the stairs and had our reception at the Lyford House. We had our photographer take some photos of us on the neat trail up behind the house. We loved the fact that guests didn't have to drive anywhere between our ceremony and reception. We also really liked marrying and celebrating within a bird Sanctuary. The rays in the water just offshore seemed to flip their tails on cue during our ceremony too - cool! The Lyford House facilities were great (patio, kitchen, parking, dressing room, etc). Thankfully there was enough room inside for our ~55 guests because people went inside when they got cold from the afternoon foggy winds (do plan for this!). The employees at the Richardson Bay National Audubon Center and Sanctuary were terrific to work with and even accommodated our desire to use an organic/local caterer not on their list of caterers. The only downside is we thought the fees were a bit steep but we reasoned that at least it was going to the Audubon Center. Overall, a really peaceful place to have an event.

I know I've left a lot of positive reviews for ERIA over the years, but they continue to impress…read moreme. Recently, a close friend of mine was looking for a wedding venue, and I immediately recommended ERIA. They ended up having their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, followed by their after party at ERIA's new Marina location. It was such a fun way to celebrate because after the reception we walked over to Bar Darling, and the catering came from Little Original Joe's. The whole evening really embraced the city, and it felt like guests got to experience San Francisco rather than just attend a wedding. The team also added so many thoughtful touches that made the night feel special. They had cookies from the upcoming La Boulange Bakery pop up as a late night treat, which everyone loved, and they even arranged for a photo booth that was a huge hit. My friends couldn't stop talking about how well everything came together, and I was secretly thrilled that my recommendation worked out so well. The next morning we headed to Sausalito for brunch at Cultivar, which was fantastic and somewhere I hadn't been before. From there we made our way to ERIA's waterfront venue, which is just as stunning as ever. They projected home videos onto a screen overlooking the water, everyone gathered with sparklers, and the whole evening felt incredibly intimate and memorable. It was such a beautiful contrast to the energy of the city the night before. One of the things I loved most about the weekend was getting to experience both locations. The Marina gave us the excitement and nightlife of San Francisco, while Sausalito offered the peaceful waterfront setting that made the celebration feel completely different. Having both experiences in one wedding weekend made it feel incredibly unique. I've been to ERIA many times now, and every event somehow feels different while maintaining the same high level of hospitality and attention to detail. If you're looking for a venue that can help create an unforgettable wedding weekend rather than just a single event, I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I recently visited this spot for an event on 4/18/26. And,I really wanted to love this space…read morebecause, at first glance, it IS beautiful. The panoramic views are stunning, and the location--right in the heart of Sausalito--is pretty much perfect. The dance floor was comfortable, the vibe was there, and it felt like it had all the makings of a great event. But here's the ik...... and it's the reason for the 2-star rating. The bathroom situation was beyond unacceptable. We're talking extremely small (only 2 stalls for the women), poorly equipped for the size of the crowd, and within 30 minutes of the event starting, the toilets were already breaking down. Not "a little slow"--completely failing. For an event with 60+ women (and drinks being served for FIVE hours), we were left with essentially ONE working toilet. Diabolical. Uncomfortable. Irritating. And it didn't get better--it got worse. Halfway through the event, the second toilet started to overflow. Yes, overflow. It was nasty, and there was no real resolution or sense of urgency from the venue to fix it. Just... left to deal with it. So while the space is undeniably pretty and well-situated, it is absolutely not equipped to handle a crowd of 125+ people. Not even close. A venue can look amazing, but if basic necessities like functioning restrooms aren't handled--and can't be remedied in real time--it completely takes away from the experience. Beautiful space, but not a place I'd trust for an event of that size again.

For my husband and I, the beauty and intimate feel of the venue far outweighed all the other inconveniences of the place (i.e. having to arrange a shuttle for guests due to limited parking and having to be out by 10pm). We had a small wedding (60 guests) and the size of the venue felt perfect for it. Our ceremony was outdoors in mid-July and the reception was indoors. We started early because we knew we'd have to end early. So we had the ceremony at 2:30pm and because we rented out the place the next morning for cleanup, we didn't leave until 9:55pm. I also appreciated the huge and gorgeous bridal suite upstairs. My mom, sister and I got ready there in the morning and the view was so relaxing. It also served a nice private room for my wedding guests who were nursing mothers. I worked closely with Susan Cullen who is the current event coordinator and she was fantastic. She responded very quickly to my emails and patiently answered a million of my questions. She also gave some very helpful suggestions about table arrangements and where to put the buffet, etc. It was a shame that Susan Cullen wasn't the event coordinator the day of. The woman who was the event coordinator (I can't remember her name) was very sour and totally unhelpful. She looked offended when I asked her to help me light some candles on the tables! She is basically the "fun police" - asking you to turn the music down, etc. But she will drink your alcohol and eat your food without doing anything for you in return. If you can ignore the nuisance of a totally useless "event coordinator" and ask someone else to deal with her, the site is totally worth it. My friends and family were also very in love with the place - we got so many compliments on it! My photographer also loved it. It looked great in photographs!

After looking at several venues in the Bay Area, we selected the Sausalito Woman's Club for our…read morewedding the first week of September. The club is a special place for our family; my grandmother is a member so I have fond memories of coming to the club for events. It's absolutely charming; Julia Morgan's simple, craftsman architecture, the beautiful gardens and views of the bay make this historical landmark a truly wonderful event space. I worked very closely with a club member on the planning, design and logistics. She offered so many great suggestions, including valuable input into the floor-plan to maximize flow and comfort, guidance on different types of floral and decor possibilities and the best location for the cake to insure it was a focal point, but out of reach to children. More importantly, she went out of her way to meet us at the club for several walk-throughs and even accommodated some early vendor deliveries. Truly couldn't have done this without her guidance and support...thank you again, Susan! We had a short ceremony outside in the garden with the reception indoors. Definitely recommend the club for weddings under 120 guests; we had 87 guests and still had enough room to dance and comfortably move around to access the bar, buffet and restrooms. Many of our guests commented on the loveliness of the space and the beautiful views. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and didn't seem to mind taking a shuttle to/from their cars (as the club doesn't have any parking).

The clubhouse needs some more upgrades (formerly a seminary cafeteria) but with a dance floor and lighting it looked great and the outdoor space is lovely. Our guests raved about the property and amazing location. It's really stunning. Our photos are gorgeous. Venue communication: Could be much better. The coordinator seems to hand off much of her duties to the in-house catering coordinator (who is great) but which led to miscommunications that could have been avoided. Getting responses to emails was usually slow (sometimes 2 weeks!) so we would often just call directly to get answers. Not sure if this is true, but it felt like we were their first wedding. Overall we'd highly recommend the property, just be ready to be very proactive.
