ERIA Sausalito · South Asian & Indian Weddings
Pillar Wedding Experience
A South Asian wedding is never just a four-hour dinner—it is a multi-generational, multi-chapter celebration that demands space, energy, and genuine cultural understanding. ERIA Sausalito, set directly on the San Francisco Bay at 562 Bridgeway, provides the architectural presence, panoramic water views, and operational versatility for every chapter of your wedding weekend.
With two distinct levels on the Sausalito waterfront—including the historic 5,100 sq ft Ground Floor with its 2,000 sq ft outdoor sun deck, plus the upper-level flagship space with a full commercial kitchen—couples can orchestrate welcome drinks, vibrant sangeets, sacred ceremonies, and high-energy receptions in different settings without ever repeating the room.
It Takes One to Know One
Indian-owned, hospitality-driven, and culturally fluent.
We understand South Asian weddings because these are our own family traditions, music, food, and celebrations. We know what it means when the baraat turns the corner, why the sound system has to carry the dhol, how essential it is that outside catering arrives hot with proper plating stations, and how different generations experience the room.
Rather than treating traditional requirements as special exceptions, ERIA was built for them. Our team coordinates with your wedding planner, decorators, family elders, and caterers with warmth, excitement, and seamless hospitality.

Outside Catering Flexibility & Custom Bar Craft
We welcome your choice of licensed, insured South Asian caterers. Whether your family requires traditional Gujarati thali service, Punjabi tandoori feasts, South Indian dosa stations, or modern Indo-fusion fine dining, our production kitchen facilitates proper warming, plating, and staging.
