Questions about the venue
What's included in the venue fee?+
Wedgewood Weddings' all-inclusive model covers the estate space, professional coordination, linens, basic décor, in-house catering, bar service, and staff. You control the menu and beverage selections within your budget.
Can we get married outdoors, or is this an indoor-only venue?+
The estate offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options on the grounds. The outdoor spaces are weather-dependent, so the mansion's interior rooms provide elegant backup ceremony locations.
How far is this from San Francisco or Oakland?+
Jefferson Street Mansion is approximately 45 minutes from San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge route) and 50 minutes from Oakland International Airport, making it accessible for out-of-state guests.
Does the venue offer accommodation for guests?+
The mansion itself is an event venue only. However, Benicia has several nearby hotels and bed-and-breakfasts within 5-10 minutes. Wedgewood can provide a list of partner accommodations and group rates.
What's the latest guest count this venue can handle?+
The estate comfortably seats up to 150 guests for a full reception. Smaller ceremonies of 20-50 people work equally well for intimate celebrations.
