The Location

Once part of the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition on Treasure Island, the Brazilian Room was presented as a gift to the East Bay Regional Park District by the country of Brazil. The original interior hardwood paneling was kept intact, while a new exterior of local rock and timber was constructed by the Works Project Administration to permanently house the room.

The combined ceremony and celebration will begin at 11am, the service will occur roughly at noon, with a food and drink reception until 5pm.

Entertainment wise there will be music and a 'pub quiz' provided by our gracious friends, a photo/video-message booth, and, of course, the company of family and friends.

Following the Brazilian Room affair, you are welcome to join the Bride and Groom at the Claremont Hotel to continue the celebration at the Paragon Bar.

Directions

We will be serving beer and wine but we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE moderation as a few of the approach / egress routes to the Brazilian Room feel like this! Additionally, depending on the weather, cyclists may be more plentiful than oxygen.

From experience, the safest path involves you getting from your origin to California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley [z:94720] before following the directions in the link below.

Accommodations

The following places received good reviews on Yelp. They are all about as close as one can get to the Brazilian Room and should span a price range from moderate to spendy.
