Perfect Wedding at Riggers Loft! - An Eventective User from Vallejo, CA

We recently had our outdoor Traditional American Ceremony only on (August 31, 2024) at Riggers Loft, and I can't sing their praises enough! From the breathtaking views to the exceptional service, every detail was impeccable. Special shoutout to Chef Frank, whose culinary talents truly shone through—our guests are still raving about the fantastic food. Since it was a outdoor ceremony only event, we wanted to provide our guests with small bites before the start of the procession. We chose: Asian Salmon Tartar on Wontons, Paper Cone French Fries, Petit Spam Musubi, Fried Mac & Cheese Bites with dipping sauce of chef’s choice. We did a tasting on each of these prior and they were DELICIOUS! No adjustments were needed. Also to include that Barbara and Chef Frank wine bottle selection was amazing! We even wanted a white wine sangria option for our guests too on a hot summer day. Chef Frank created the recipe and it was a hit! The venue's atmosphere was perfect for our celebration, combining rustic charm with modern elegance. The staff were attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, making our special day stress-free and unforgettable. The airstream onsite was a delightful and unique touch, providing a cozy and stylish space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. It added a special charm to the preparations, making those moments even more memorable. If you're looking for a venue that offers outstanding service, a beautiful setting, and amazing food, Riggers Loft is the place to be. Highly recommend! Thank you, Riggers Loft, for making our dream wedding come true!

Delightful Place - An Eventective User from Berkeley, CA

Last week I had a Celebration of Life for my late husband at Riggers' Loft. The owners of Riggers' Loft, Barbara and Kevin Brown, were helpful beyond measure in planning and executing the event. They helped to configure the space according to our needs and provided audio visual equipment which we requested for two slide shows, speakers and singers. They even provided background music of our choosing while we gathered, mingled and dined. The space is fantastic and the location was a wonderful surprise to many friends. It gave us ample room to have a program, enjoy the delicious food and wine, and visit with one another. It was a little too chilly to spend time on the patio with its beautiful view of the Bay and San Francisco in the distance but it was still a lovely backdrop for the event. Chef Frank provided a beautiful array of French inspired hors d oeuvres and desserts which guests thoroughly enjoyed. It was all a delightful experience. Thank you Barbara, Kevin and Frank for a wonderful event.

Great wedding venue! - An Eventective User from California

Coolest Wedding Venue Ever! - An Eventective User from Bay Area, CA

I'm reviewing Riggers Loft as a wedding venue, as I recently had my wedding here. The venue is spectacular: the views are incredible, the building has the perfect warehouse vibe, and there is an active Osprey nest nearby that adds to the overall allure of the place. Ships, both big and small, float by, reminding you that even though this is part of an old WW2 facility, the nearby port is still very active. My partner and I interacted with Barbara, one of the owners, to plan our wedding. Barbara was always kind, professional, responsive, and totally accommodating of our requests. Thanks to Barbara and Riggers Loft staff, our wedding went even better than we imagined. If you like the feel of this place as a wedding venue, they'll work with you to make your dream wedding become reality. Such an amazing place! Also--our guests loved the wine!

Amazing and Perfect Wedding Venue! - An Eventective User from Sausalito, CA

One of the best decisions my husband and I made was to have our wedding at Riggers Loft. From start to finish, the owners, Barbara and Kevin, were super friendly and responsive, and really took great care of us. Also, the venue itself is super unique, and we got a ton of compliments on our choice from our guests! You really can't beat the amazing view of the SF skyline, being right on the Bay, in such a cool and historic area. Oh, and the wine and cider selections are simply impeccable! We cannot recommend this venue more highly!

Management Response
Thank you so much for your kind words!! We were honored to be a part of your special day. All the best to you both!!
2023 Law School Graduation Party - An Eventective User from Richmond CA

Riggers Loft is phenomenal!! The site is breath taking with its secluded area and amazing views of the City. Working with Barbara and the in-house caterer, Frank, was an ease. They assisted in planning everything from the drink menu, food menu, to seating arrangements. We had a great time at our event! Thank you Riggers Loft!!

Personable and Wonderful - An Eventective User from Richmond, CA.

My mother and I worked with the owners, Barbara and Paul, along with Chef Frank on details for my step dads memorial service. They were so personable, helfpul and really made a personal event feel intimate and light. We had the freedom to plan as we wished, the venue and food are spectacular. I have been here twice now. Once for a company holiday party and now for a very personal event. I'd highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for an awesome venue with a view.

Management Response
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so glad that we were able to help you and your mom provide the right atmosphere for your step dad's memorial.
Wedding - An Eventective User from Berkeley, CA

Our wedding with Riggers wine loft was amazing! The team lead by Barbara were attentive and always got back to us in a timely manor. We were able to design both the outside and interior spaces exactly as we hoped. Barbara was extremely flexible with our wedding hiccups and work with our budget. They helped to ensure our wedding day felt very special. We intend to return to the space in the future just for fun!

Wonderful Event Venue! - An Eventective User from Oakland CA

We had our baby shower at Riggers Loft and everyone had the best time! Their in house caterer Chef Frank is an ARTIST, people raved about the food, and we loved the flexibility Barbara and team gave us to bring our own decor and play baby shower games. They also helped us coordinate a band to come play and the wine and cider was a hit. Highly recommend!

Great Venue for Staff Meeting - An Eventective User from Richmond, CA

We were bringing about 80 staff of our non-profit organization together for the first in-person meeting in over two years. We are still COVID cautious and needed an outdoor space for lunch and a spacious indoor setting with good air circulation for an afternoon of presentations. Riggers Loft worked with us to meet all of our needs. Our staff enjoyed getting to take in the view, felt safe throughout the day, and appreciated being introduced to a fun location they can come back to. We went a bit out-of-the-box in terms of staff meeting venues for this one and it was worth it!

Fabulous Venue for Our Organization's 25th Anniversary Party - An Eventective User from Richmond, CA

The Watershed Project held our 25th Anniversary Party at Riggers Loft in June 2022 and we loved it. We found that the full space was perfect to accommodate both music in the front area and conversations at the other end of the space. The high ceilings, huge windows, and decor make it open and airy. Chef Frank's food was top-notch: we had charcuterie, a taco bar, and a dessert bar. The wine and cider were equally as delicious -- all the guests were happy, as was our staff! And Barbara was terrific to work with. Communication was easy and the night of the event went smoothly. Thank you! We highly recommend Riggers Loft and would hold an event there again happily!
