Weddings

Outdoor wedding on the UUCB Terrace

Whether you are planning a large formal event or a small intimate gathering, UUCB provides a welcoming, elegant environment for your wedding or commitment ceremony. The Sanctuary is a sacred space for all religious faiths. Our organ and two grand pianos are available for musical accompaniment for your ceremony.

Located just outside the Sanctuary, the tree-shaded Atrium is suitable for dancing and/or a light meal. It opens out onto the Terrace, offering a spectacular view of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. If desired, the Social Hall and professional kitchen can provide all that is required for a formal catered sit-down dinner accompanying your wedding. If you prefer a smaller celebration, the Fireside Room provides a warm, intimate environment and has a baby grand piano.

Wedding dance in the Social Hall

As a progressive, pluralistic, welcoming congregation, it is important to us that anyone leading a service or ceremony in our church do so in a way that affirms the full equality and preciousness of people of all races, genders, gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, and cultures. So, if you wish to have a minister from another church or religious community officiate your wedding, the arrangement must be approved by one of our ministers. In most cases, we gladly welcome officiants from other traditions who are licensed to officiate in California. If you need an officiant, UUCB will reach out to our community ministers, but we cannot guarantee their availability. Their honorarium/fees are separate from the rental fee.

 

 

Additional Information

UUCB’s AGO (American Guild of Organists) Certified Organist retains first right of refusal on all requirements for a keyboardist during services or ceremonies. If you retain a keyboardist other than our principal organist for your ceremony or service and the principal organist is available, you will be required to pay a $150.00 bench fee. The bench fee also applies if you plan to use pre-recorded music.

 

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Standard Security Deposits range between $250.00 and $1,000.00 depending on event and add-ons.

Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that this church occupies land in Huchiun in the unceded territory of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.  May we have the humility and courage to do our part to restore what has been broken and the wisdom to live into a new solidarity with Indigenous communities and the earth.
