Gorgeous Intimate and Small Wedding Venues in Berkeley

We know that big weddings sound great in theory, but the reality of throwing a massive bash can be a little less glamorous than it sounds. A jam-packed place full of people you hardly see or know isn’t exactly the dream wedding that most people have in mind. This is why so many couples are choosing to have a smaller, more boutique wedding instead. However, a smaller headcount means the event space you pick matters even more — and if you’re on the hunt for small wedding venues in Berkeley, California, you’ve come to the right place.
