We love photographing weddings at the Piedmont Community Hall. Piedmont Park was one of our first locations for family photos many years ago and it’s a perfect setting for a Bay Area wedding. Couples can have their ceremony in the hall’s amphitheater under tall redwood trees and have their reception in the art deco community hall that dates back to 1924. The venue allows for a great mix of natural California beauty with the immediate convenience of a well appointed and affordable Bay Area wedding venue. What follows is some rental information about Piedmont Community Hall as well as some recent photos from a summer wedding.
Wedding Ceremony setup at Community Hall Amphitheater
Wedding ceremonies in the Community Hall amphitheater can accommodate 120 guests and an additional 80 guests in the bleachers.
The Community Hall itself can seat 120 guests indoors or 200 guests outside on the patio. The patio is a beautiful space for cocktail hour or for your entire reception. For Summer weddings at the Community Hall we often see both the cocktail hour and reception happen outdoors before transitioning into the hall for dancing and dessert.
