Modern South Asian couples and their families want more than a rushed single-day wedding. They want an immersive, multi-day wedding weekend where loved ones gather, connect, and celebrate across a curated series of events.
At ERIA Sausalito, our dual-level waterfront property allows you to host an entire weekend journey—from Friday welcome drinks and Mehndi to Saturday morning ceremonies, evening galas, and Sunday morning farewell brunches—under one cohesive management team.
It Takes One to Know One
Honoring the rhythm and stamina of a true wedding weekend.
We know that multi-day weddings have a rhythm all their own: the excitement of Friday arrivals, the solemn beauty of Saturday morning mantras, the electric transition to the evening reception, and the bittersweet gratitude of Sunday morning chai.
Because our team understands the schedule, we manage vendor turnovers, load-ins, and space transitions smoothly so your family can relax and celebrate.

Varying Guest Counts Handled Seamlessly
One of the biggest logistical hurdles of a South Asian wedding is shifting guest counts: 150 guests for the welcome party, 300 for the ceremony, 220 for the reception, and 80 for Sunday brunch.
ERIA easily flexes across its distinct spaces, ensuring smaller intimate gatherings feel cozy and warm while larger ceremonies and galas have ample room to breathe.
Single Point of Contact for All Weekend Logistics
Booking ERIA for your wedding weekend eliminates the headache of dealing with multiple hotels, event coordinators, and differing venue rules.
Our dedicated production managers coordinate load-in schedules, sound checks, decorator access, and outside catering hand-offs across every single day.



Frequently Asked Questions
Can different weekend events have completely different guest counts?
Yes. Our modular spaces accommodate varying headcounts comfortably—from intimate 60-person gatherings to 300-seat ceremonies and 500-person standing receptions.
How do turnovers work between Saturday ceremony and evening reception?
Because ERIA Sausalito has both the Ground Floor and Upper Level, your evening reception can be set up independently without rushing a reset of the ceremony space.
Are multi-day venue buyout packages available?
Yes. We offer comprehensive weekend packages covering exclusive access across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Can out-of-town guests walk to the venue from local hotels?
Yes. Downtown Sausalito hotels like Casa Madrona and The Inn Above Tide are just steps or a short stroll from ERIA on Bridgeway.
