Bridal Falls is one of the most enchanting spaces within our Contra Costa County wedding venue—a serene, nature-framed retreat that becomes the perfect gathering place for cocktail hour. Nestled beside cascading waterfalls and surrounded by vibrant garden foliage, this dreamy setting offers your guests a refreshing, relaxing transition between the ceremony and reception.
Here, friends and family can mingle beneath the shade of towering trees while enjoying handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, light bites, and the soothing sound of flowing water. The space is versatile and welcoming, whether you envision high-top tables, a styled bar display, or cozy lounge seating woven seamlessly into the garden landscape.
