Question 2

Question 3

Can ERIA host my wedding or multi-day celebration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Weddings are at the heart of what we do — from intimate waterfront ceremonies to full weekend celebrations across Sausalito and the Bay Area. We plan and produce every detail, or partner with your planner, so the experience feels personal, elevated, and completely handled.

Question 4

Do you plan Indian and South Asian weddings?

Accepted Answer

We do. Multi-day South Asian celebrations — mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception — require a different rhythm than a single-evening wedding, and our team has learned that rhythm firsthand. We coordinate guest flow, vendor timelines, and cultural traditions across every day of the weekend.

Question 5

How far in advance should we book our wedding?

Accepted Answer

For Bay Area waterfront dates, we recommend reaching out 9 to 18 months ahead — especially for peak season (May through October) and multi-day celebrations. Earlier conversations give you stronger venue choice, vendor access, and a calmer planning experience.

Question 6

What types of corporate events does ERIA produce?

Accepted Answer

Executive offsites, product launches, brand activations, networking receptions, holiday parties, investor dinners, and go-to-market events. Our Marina and Sausalito spaces transform with custom lighting, staging, and production — so the room feels branded without feeling stiff.

Question 7

Can you handle AV, presentations, and breakout formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We plan for screens, microphones, staging, breakout zones, and the quiet production support that keeps leadership presentations feeling effortless. Tell us your agenda and we will shape the room around it.

Question 8

Is ERIA a good fit for confidential or executive-level gatherings?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Private layouts, controlled guest flow, and a team that understands discretion are built into how we host. We have produced intimate executive dinners and off-sites where privacy and hospitality matter equally.

Question 9

What venues does ERIA operate?

Accepted Answer

ERIA Sausalito is our waterfront flagship on Bridgeway, spanning two floors — the modern second-floor event space and the 5,100 sq ft historic Trident ground floor. ERIA Marina brings the same production capability to San Francisco's Marina District. ERIA on Paradise Drive in Corte Madera is a waterfront retreat for wedding weekends and group stays. Explore each on our Locations page.

Question 10

How many guests can each space accommodate?

Accepted Answer

ERIA Sausalito hosts up to 350 guests with indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic bay views. ERIA Marina flexes for corporate events, conferences, and celebrations of varying sizes. Paradise Drive sleeps 12 for multi-night stays tied to your celebration.

Question 11

Do you allow outside catering?

Accepted Answer

Yes — outside catering is welcome with no fee. Bring your favorite restaurant, family recipes, or any caterer you choose, and use our full commercial kitchen. Prefer not to coordinate? Our in-house chef and team can handle everything.

Question 13

Does ERIA offer full-service event planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Concept, design, vendor curation, logistics, and day-of execution are our signature. We also support partial planning and production-only engagements when you already have a planner but need a venue team that executes at the same level.

Question 14

What is parking like at your venues?

Accepted Answer

ERIA Sausalito offers valet ($8/hr, $10/hr for SUVs), Public Lot 1 (~$2/hr), and metered street parking downtown. ERIA Marina has street parking nearby, usually easy to find. Paradise Drive has driveway and reserved lot options. We share detailed arrival guidance before every event.

Question 15

Can you help with lodging and transportation for out-of-town guests?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Wedding weekends and corporate retreats often extend beyond a single evening. We help coordinate guest hotels, group stays at Paradise Drive, ferry and shuttle logistics, and the small details that make a destination event feel seamless.

Question 16

How do I start planning an event with ERIA?

Accepted Answer

Book a private viewing, schedule a call with Nikita, or reach out through our contact page at info@eriaevents.co. We will walk you through the space, understand your vision, and outline next steps — no pressure, just a real conversation.

Question 17

What affects event planning and venue investment?

Accepted Answer

Guest count, production scope, catering style, multi-day timelines, and the level of planning support you need all shape investment. We tailor every proposal to your event rather than forcing a one-size package. A consultation helps us align on vision and range.

Question 18

Do you host public ticketed events too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ERIA Community produces curated gatherings across the Bay Area — live music, panels, mixers, and seasonal celebrations. Many are open to the public; check our Tickets page or join the mailing list for early access.
