“The San Rafael Elks Lodge #1108 is one of the best kept secrets in the area. It is located in a funky old mansion that used to belong to Local Socialite & Arctic Explorer, Louise Boyd. The house is packed with Edwardian touches and history, a huge professional grade kitchen can prepare meals for any size function, there is an inside ballroom, and a huge outdoor events area. Many families take advantage of the swimming pool. Dues are reasonable and the benefits you receive in return outweigh any expenses.”

“My daughter is back at Tutu School, wonderful time to enjoy weekly or weekend classes with a great instructor. The instructor is very professional with the kids guidance to dance, listening and multiple activities to enjoy Ballet classes. Sometimes my daughter prefers two classes a day, this says A Lot how much kids can spend time and meet other classmates. Thank you for all you do Tutu School !!!”
“Not trying to blow it up but I just did!
I love this cove ?⚡️?️?some much live and effort put into this community makes this destination location a really piece of art. What a place to bring a bestie or lover. Get on their site find all the live music and event.”
“Even though this little piece of heaven is right off Sir Francis Drake Blvd, it is tranquil and quiet. The gardens are gorgeous, event space is flexible, and parking is ample. You can visit for events throughout the year that are open to the public and also join Pixie Park for littles now that it's been redone!”
“Local event space designed by Bernard Maybeck as a club house, built in 1984 out of local redwood, It's a wonderfully intimate event space that's great for everything from the Mill Valley Film Festival to weddings to business meetings. It has a full commercial kitchen with all the amenities, bathrooms, indoor and outdoor spaces with heaters.”
“Deer Park Villa is a stunning venue that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and exceptional service. As a vendor, we highly recommend it to couples looking to create unforgettable moments on their special day.”
“It's such a beautiful yacht club. The dinner and service were great. The area the yacht club is in is wonderful.... great places to see within walking distance.”
“Fantastic venue for large events in Marin able to host 800 guests with amazing panoramic views of San Francisco and the Bays. The professionals who cater at Strawberry, All Seasons Catering, have a long time excellent reputation for delivering delicious and beautiful food and seamless service. Having been a guest at many events All Season have catered both on the property and at private homes and venues throughout Marin, I can honestly say they are our first choice for top notch catering in Marin and the East Bay. Considering hosting my milestone birthday at their relatively new on site outdoor spaces...something they are excited to offer clients after many rennovations and a change of ownership to the property has finally opened these beautiful vistas to events. Thank you Stan and Gay for taking the time to tour us around the property and discuss the event possibilities!”
“Slide Ranch could not be a more beautiful location, and there are numerous ways to engage with nature. The educational opportunities for children are also wonderful, and Slide Ranch is a great spot for kids' summer camps and school visits (my children have loved it). Highly recommend a visit.”
“Stunning place!! The whole house is beautiful, with lots of nooks and "secret" rooms. It's easy to get lost in it! A great home for a few lucky cats too!”
“Have held two events at the Corinthian. Can't say enough. In each case the Corinthian was a dream venue. The setting can not be topped. The ballroom is beautiful, and the view from the club is breathtaking. The food was excellent. The staff both before the event and during the event itself could not have been more helpful, particularly the club manager John Nicolai ([email protected]). I would highly recommend this venue.”
“We recently held a celebration of life for 80 people at the Yacht Club. Colleen was a joy to work with during set up, planning as well as the day of. The staff was very gracious and supportive and took care of all the guest with easy and efficiency. We were very thankful how caring they were and would not hesitate to use the LLYC again.”
“We have had the pleasure of shooting here on several different occasions for weddings, and our couples as well as us have been thrilled with how many different areas there are to use for photos and videos that are elegant and beautiful. The stone structures, pond, foliage, ivy and arches of this place are so picturesque.”
“It's my second time doing an event at Peacock Gap. I just love this place. My Baby shower went exactly how I pictured it. Megan( Director of events) made my life super easy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was just perfect I couldn't ask for anything else. I HIGHLY recommend this place for any event.”
“Long overdue review! We hosted my sister's baby shower here a year ago and everything exceeded our expectations from planning to the execution of the event. Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. She was so accommodating and helped us craft a delicious menu. On the day of, the staff was so hospitable and friendly to our family and friends. They even joined in the dancing and eased all nerves. We had one minor hiccup with the adapter to connect the iPhone for music (someone had taken the adapter from the previous event). One of the staff went to Target to get another adapter and it was smooth sailing after that. We had plenty of food and every dish was fantastic. It was one of the best catered meals I have had and I've been to many corporate events and dinners around the country. We went with the fajita buffet option and did a chicken/veggie option instead of a chicken/beef option.We are lucky to have this venue in the North Bay!”
“A treasure spot in San Rafael an amazing old mansion in great shape where you can enjoy art, gardens, look inside and rent a venue for a special occasion, wedding, anniversary, etc.”
“Really great hidden gem, such a wonderful variety of local art, Eva was was very warm and welcoming in explaining the foundations mission and telling us about the art, 10/10 Recomend!”
“This is a very nice Community center. It's located in the heart of San Rafael with a good size parking lot. For big events the parking lot is often full. The center has a very large ballroom and smaller rooms that expand to accommodate smaller functions. I've attended events in the ballroom such as the Chinese New Years event with performers using the full stage. Other events include Goldenaires bingo, armed Cross blood drives, and the Mull Valley Film festival party. Even Jared Huffman has used the ballroom for his in person events. The smaller rooms are terrific for trainings by the Women's Pilitical Action Committee and lunches or parties. There is a full kitchen and custodian on staff. It is also a good value.”
“The staff was phenomenally helpful at my son's wedding. The bride and groom worked with Club 333 and found them incredibly experienced and everything was pulled off with everyone having a great time. I would definitely recommend the venue for any formal event.”

“I got super triggered unexpectedly during Tron:Ares and had to take a second. The guy cleaning the concessions (David) was really helpful, gave me a glass of water and offered to make me up an ice pack to ground if I needed. Told me I could take a walk as long I wanted even though I didn’t have a ticket anymore to get back in. 10/10 customer service, 10/10 human being. He deserves a raise for being able to empathize in a retail job!”
“Went here for a school trip in the 6th grade, and I loved it! The food was amazing, the tour guides were very nice a showed us beautiful things. Would come back if I had the chance.”
“Well what a super fun place to stop after a near by hike. I had been here pre-pandemic days and forgot about it until we did a hike over in Tennessee Valley. It is the MOST adorable inn and restaurant. Has a dog friendly patio and lawn (either of which you can get food and drink service) and the food and drinks are tasty!! Worth a day spent hiking in or around Tennessee valley, followed by a post-hike beer and delish meal. If it is a sunny day, expect to wait. If it is cloudy and closer to the second half of the day, likely the wait (if any) will be short!”

“Best hotel I've ever been! Especially for the price. Everything was wonderful. The view was pretty even just looking out into the lobby. All of the workers are extremely nice! We got to have free snacks and drinks and a free breakfast, it was such a pleasure. The cleaners, the front desk, and the bartender are extremely hard working too they definitely keep the place running splendidly and keep everything clean. They have a nice pool and hot tub, even though I didn't see the hot tub advertised when I booked the hotel I was pleasantly surprised.We didn't want to stay in San fransico so this was a perfect spot and only 20ish minutes from muir wood.Huge thanks to everyone for our wonderful stay!!! Will book again if we are ever back over here.”
“Having our wedding at The San Francisco Theological Seminary (May 2025!) was one of the easiest and best decisions we made when planning for our wedding! As soon as we stepped foot on the campus, we knew it was the venue we’d been looking for. Working with the staff here (HUGE thank you to Jeremiah Jenkins!!) was low stress and straightforward. Many other venues we looked at just didn’t feel right and felt overly complicated. The grounds were beautifully rich with history and architecture and more than we could have asked for in a wedding venue.”
