 What do we do when we have three outdoor weddings and it's drizzling outside? We don't panic, we pivot. Extra towels to wipe off the chairs, patio umbrellas turn into drizzle proof umbrellas and we look forward to the sun coming out exactly at the time the couple sees each other, and the ceremony begins. It's magical every time!

Marsha P. Johnson said it best: NO PRIDE FOR SOME OF US WITHOUT LIBERATION FOR ALL OF US.

Today and every day, we continue our fight for freedom while celebrating the rich and diverse history of Black Americans.

There is no LGBTQ+ freedom without Black freedom.

This venue is one of our favorite little gems in the Berkeley Hills. Julia Morgan had such a vision for all she created.

Certified Green since 2007! This is near and dear to my heart as I treasure our planet and want to do my best to leave a very tiny footprint upon it. . .at every event and in life in general. Blue Heron "turned green" in fall of 2007, when we catered for Barack Obama's book signing tour at the beautiful for 1200 guests. The event was 100% compostable and yes, we got to meet the amazing man who became one of our most loved presidents.
