Wedding Weekend Planning

Luxury Wedding Weekend Planner in the Bay Area

Wedding weekend planning in San Francisco, Sausalito, Marin, Napa & Sonoma.

Today's couples are moving beyond a single-day celebration. Instead, they're planning immersive wedding weekends filled with meaningful moments, incredible food, beautiful venues, and unforgettable experiences for family and friends.

Whether you're envisioning a waterfront welcome party in Sausalito, a rehearsal dinner overlooking the San Francisco Bay, a luxury wedding reception, or a farewell brunch in Wine Country, our team brings every piece together seamlessly.

As a full-service Bay Area wedding planner and event production company, we manage every detail so you can simply enjoy the celebration.

The Format

What is a wedding weekend?

A wedding weekend is a thoughtfully planned series of events that allows couples and their guests to celebrate together over several days rather than just one evening. A typical wedding weekend may include:

•Welcome Party
•Welcome Cocktail Reception
•Rehearsal Dinner
•Wedding Ceremony
•Wedding Reception
•After Party
•Recovery Brunch
•Farewell Brunch
•Wine Tasting
•Yacht Charter
•Private Dinner
•Family Gathering
•Excursions throughout the Bay Area

Wedding weekends have become one of the fastest-growing trends in luxury weddings because they create more opportunities for guests to connect and make the celebration feel truly unforgettable.

Why ERIA

More than a wedding planner

We're producers. Designers. Problem solvers. Experience creators.

We have a reputation for making the impossible happen, whether that's creating a surprise arrival by boat, producing an immersive waterfront celebration, coordinating a multi-day itinerary across several cities, or bringing together dozens of vendors into one seamless weekend.

Instead of managing separate venues, caterers, rental companies, florists, photographers, transportation providers, and entertainment vendors, you'll have one experienced team coordinating every detail.

Two Home Bases

Sausalito & San Francisco

Sausalito has quickly become one of Northern California's most sought-after wedding destinations thanks to its waterfront views, boutique hotels, incredible restaurants, proximity to San Francisco, and relaxed coastal atmosphere. From welcome parties overlooking the Bay to rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, and farewell brunches, Sausalito offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable wedding weekend.

In San Francisco, our team helps couples create unforgettable celebrations throughout the city — on the waterfront, in iconic neighborhoods, luxury hotels, private clubs, and unique event venues. From intimate gatherings to large luxury weddings, we'll help you create a seamless experience from beginning to end.
