I had my heart set on a Maggie Sottero dress and found the perfect gown here. The girls that work here (the owners' daughters) are great and are very helpful in making suggestions. I ended up getting and loving a dress I had bypassed on my own but Monica suggested. They were willing to negotiate a bit with the prices too. The actual salon resembles a warehouse more than many bridal salons but once you are in a beautiful gown that doesn't seem to matter. Highly recommend! :)
This church is so unique and has such a sense of history. We instantly knew this was it when the church came into view as we rounded a curve on the small winding road up the hill to the church. It is a magical, white, one room church from the 1800s sitting alone on a rare wildflower preserve- does it get any better?! Actually, yes! We were equally blown away by the unbelievable view- a perfect view of the bay and SF. None of our guests were from the bay area and were stunned by the sheer beauty of Marin & 6 months later still ask us how we ever managed to find such a perfect wedding location.
By the way, since the site is owned by a non-profit preservation society, it's was also nice to know our site fee went to helping with preservation efforts. It's also partly tax-deductible!
