Bay Area wedding venues are some of the most exclusive and sought after in the country, for good reason. Many of these breathtaking venues offer obviously beautiful amenities such as ocean or sprawling vineyard views while others are more subtle, like wedding toasts made with estate wines or the option to arrive at your ceremony by boat. A few of these wedding venues have been around for decades or even centuries, passed down from generation to generation, imbuing those spectacular spaces with a special kind of “marry-making” magic found in few other places.
From intimate, mountainside canyon ranches to time worn winery ruins, organic apple orchards, architecturally significant turn-of-the-century buildings, waterfront lighthouses and oceanfront barns, here are 24 reasons to get married in the Bay Area.

It's summertime, and you and your boys just ain't welcome 'round the local watering holes and gin joints anymore. It's time to round up your crew, flee town like the cops are after ya, and dissolve into the wild world unknown. But just in case you don't know the good spots beyond city limits, The Venue Report was kind enough to put together a little guide for your charming battalion of gents.

Whoever said Vegas was the baseline for a beautiful bachelorette bash certainly never celebrated at any of these chic locations. When celebrating your bestie bride-to-be, a "sodden farewell to single days" just won't do. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw... "Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with." We're thinking outside the bachelorette bash-box and bringing you most beautiful (and fun) places to say 'sayanara' to single life and "dance with the ones that brought ya" - your besties.
