Brazilian Room in CA 94708, open June–September.
Guests wind through Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park and arrive at a historic garden venue surrounded by native oak and bay trees, with sweeping views across the San Francisco Bay.
The Brazilian Room's open-air pavilion and manicured grounds create a naturally sophisticated setting where 20 to 150 guests experience both intimacy and grandeur.
Couples appreciate the venue's flexibility—whether hosting an afternoon garden ceremony or evening reception, the space adapts to your vision without requiring heavy decoration.
I am so happy that I am a preferred vendor at this wedding venue! It’s one of my favorite venues to photograph, as the rustic wooden reception space combined with the outdoor cocktail hour & ceremony site makes for a seamless experience! Perfect for somewhat smaller guest counts as it is a more intimate space, yet it still provides everything you need. I also really love that you’re so close to the redwood forest - I drove the couple a few minutes up the road to do their private vows & couples portraits there and it was one of my favorite parts of the day!
