One of our favorite things about being on Lake Merritt is that beautiful portrait locations are literally just steps away. It’s an easy way to capture some outdoor photos without taking time away from your celebration!

Let’s talk wedding setup details 📝🧐

When couples imagine their wedding day, they often picture the flowers, signage, and beautiful tablescapes. However, there is a whole foundation that makes those details shine.

At The Terrace Room, we provide the essentials: tables, chairs, linens, flatware, glassware, food service, beverage service, bartenders, servers, and a stunning Lake Merritt backdrop! 😍

Then comes the fun part; your personal touches. From floral centerpieces and seating charts to es**rt cards, table numbers, cake, and décor, these are the details that make your celebration uniquely yours.

When the basics are already covered, you can spend more time focusing on the fun, personal elements that reflect your unique style and tell your story 💕
