Rockefeller Lodge in CA 94806, open June–September.
Rockefeller Lodge offers 10+ acres of estate grounds with direct control over your event layout—no shared ceremonies, no vendor restrictions.
Located 20 minutes from Oakland, this private property gives you the flexibility to design your timeline and vendor team without the constraints of typical venue packages.
Whether you're planning an intimate 20-person ceremony or a 150-guest reception, the grounds accommodate multiple configurations across indoor and outdoor spaces.
Talk about a total hidden gem! We went to view this place as a potential for our wedding venue and it is best described as stepping into a secret garden. From the moment we stepped into the gate, we fell in love. The grounds are well kept, the building is cozy and intimate.
