Almost all of us enjoyed their beer and a lot of us shared menu items so that we could try more items. My Aunt, Grandma, and I shared the Korean fried chicken sandwich, the pesto pizza, and one of the mixed green salads. We all agreed that the chicken sandwich was our favorite! This restaurant/brewery is also massive on the inside. There are different rooms that you can rent, they have shuffleboard and other games to play, and TVs throughout so you can watch sports if you please. Overall, this was a pretty great first time here and I'm looking forward to returning.

And of course, the location and views of the Bay are unbeatable!

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.

It looks like a great place to take kids to…read morelearn about the environment and animals, etc. I would give it an extra star for the gorgeous views. It loses stars for the reasons stated below. For a more formal event, it's not ideal for older people especially. (those over 80 and those with any disability) There is a somewhat steep and uneven slope down to the Yurt area where the ground is flat but again, uneven and covered with hay. This caused shoes and feet to be covered in dust soon after arriving. This would be ok if wearing proper sneakers or others made for walking on that type of surface. Wearing the clothes we did, gave us no protection from ticks which the website indicated are prevalent there. In addition, the only restrooms are porta potties. This is a little rustic for a formal event and not so easy for people in wheel chairs. There is no lighting on this path back up to the parking lot. This is entirely unsafe after the sun has gone down. All of that said, I would recommend this venue for a school field trip where students are dressed appropriately and are visiting during daylight hours. I would not, however, recommend it for a formal event.

The space was perfect for everything we needed, and although we had our ceremony down the road at Old Mill Park, it would have been a beautiful place to have that too. The space is so gorgeous it needs very little additional decoration, and everything you add is just magnified by the surroundings. As a historic building in a small town they have a number of rules and restrictions, and when we decided to book I did wonder if they might be difficult to plan around. But it wasn't hard at all, and everything from the decor to the music was exactly as I hoped and not held back at all. I would definitely strongly recommend booking vendors who are familiar with OAC though, because with them you never have to worry about a thing, knowing they have it handled! I'll specifically mention music volume, as that was the main thing I worried about - we wanted a dance party, and we got one without any issue! Our DJ (Airsun) was really familiar with OAC and with our coordinator (Stacey Dillon) - who herself works there all the time - and they all knew what they needed to do, so I didn't worry for even a second about it. And I never would have guessed there were any sound restrictions by the experience, it didn't hold back the party at all. The facilities manager Dave did a great job with setup and was so kind and helpful about drop off and pickup of all our stuff. We also worked with Rodney of Marin Event Lighting to hang bistro lights (he is the only one allowed to do it) and they were gorgeous and perfect. They also require you work with one of their approved caterers, and Sage did a phenomenal job! OAC is a stunning hidden gem in Mill Valley and I would highly recommend it for any event!

We had our wedding in September 2023 at the Outdoor Art Club, and I could not be happier with every detail. We had visited many venues, and nothing gave us the right vibe until we stepped foot into the OAC. What's most important to me is always the people, and every single person we got to work with there was beyond helpful and kind. David helped us plan out the most perfect layout for our group. He is so fun and a true delight to be around. He made everything flow and planning with him was a piece of cake because he knows exactly what to do! Mary was welcoming from Day 1, super responsive always, and a pleasure to work with. Kenny was also a great person to meet, and he does a great job with the grounds - always offering a kind word and a smile! Hilary was there the day of our wedding and she kept everything in check. Beyond the people, the venue is so naturally beautiful and has such a storied history. Guests were so happy to be there, and kept commenting on how beautiful the flowers and grounds were kept. You also cannot beat the location to downtown Mill Valley, and yet it still feels very tucked away and private from the hustle and bustle of the town! We are so happy to have had our special day at the Outdoor Art Club with all the wonderful OAC staff and volunteers who made it a happen.

The rental rates are unbeatable! They have a parking lot on site, all the chairs, tables, serving wear, kitchen items, cooking items, stereo system, industrial dish washer, etc that you need to have a small (under 75 person) wedding. Lynn is great and very helpful (she is the contact person for rentals). You do have to get event insurance but no extra insurance for having alcohol like most places do. You don't need to use a specific caterer or even have one if you don't want. It is quit and peaceful and just perfect! Only down sides are it is a little harder to get to, there aren't a ton of options for hotels, and you have to take the garbage somewhere else to dispose of it (they don't have garbage pick up on site). Over all, AMAZING views, UNBEATABLE prices, EVERYTHING you need, peaceful, and BEAUTIFUL. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would get married here again!

The shared dorms do the job, and for just a one-night retreat, it's totally fine. We mostly used the semi-private rooms which was a nice way to break it up when we used the Coast Room for our meeting room. Other times, we used Raven, which has only a few semi-privates and the rest are dorms, but the benefit there was that it was all our group in the dorms. The grounds are very peaceful, it's a nice walk to the beach and the trails, and there's a lot of space for breakouts outside. Food is also great, and they helped us brainstorm ideas for a catered lunch when our schedule didn't match theirs for lunch service. They were definitely the most cost-effective location we found when we did our research, and we keep coming back!

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).

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.
