Tucked away among the rolling hills of Marin County sits the quaint village of Nicasio, which means “the hidden one”.

Rancho Nicasio is the town’s heart and soul, set at the north side of Nicasio’s New England-style town square

  • Provides catering services
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • No free parking
We held an intimate reception at Rancho Nicasio in the Western Room and it was absolutely incredible. The building in general is beautiful but the Western room was so warm and inviting. The rental included the use of a large patio and it gave my guests plenty of room to spread out and mingle. There is also plenty of parking! The food was absolutely delicious and was a generous portion size. The real highlight of this venue however is the event coordinator Marina! She treated my small reception with the care and attention of a large event. She had the answer for every question I had and was always very easy to get a hold of. The way Marina and her team decorated the space was even more beautiful than what I had imagined in my head. Just a few weeks before my event I had a family member go through a sudden surgery and when I reached out to Marina about discussing some dietary accommodations she jumped right onto finding the perfect meal for them and truly went out of her way to make sure my guest was taken care of. Her compassion during a difficult time meant the absolute world to me and my family. If you're thinking about booking here do it asap! This place was truly a gem with absolutely incredible people working here!

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site

Venue considerations

  • Better for more intimiate events
  • Dance floor not included
  • Not wheelchair accessible
From the moment I sent an initial request to Diane, the event manager, working with BStar was an absolute Joy. I was able to work with Diane to meet the needs of our group including several dietary restrictions. She had no problem going back and forth and adjusting the menu. When we got to the restaurant we were in the most adorable private room. It was inside, but felt like it was outside with the decor. Each place was set with a personalized menu (we did not ask for this, they just did it on their own). The manager, Matt was amazing. He set us up, made recommendations on drinks and then talked us through the appetizers we had ordered. We had the Appetizer combo platter (Platha dipper, veggie samosas, spring rolls. and firecracker cauliflower ) and Sticky Finger Riblettes and green tea salad. We then ordered off the menu. Each food was better than the next. The manager and our server were so attentive to us. When we got the bill it was perfect. No errors at all. I would literally eat here every day, as well as have a private event here every time I could. Too bad I live on the east coast.

Sam’s Grill and Seafood restaurant 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 40 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $120

Sam’s private party space is a glass covered patio with sliding doors and retractable roof. It is adjacent to the classic Sam’s Grill and opens onto a European Style walk street lined with Cafes and Restaurants.It is a warm and light environment that allows for modern extension of the 5th oldest restaurant in the country.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Flexible event spaces
  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Has an intimate feel for a small guest list

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • No built-in audiovisual options
Sam's Grill may be the fifth-oldest restaurant in the country, but it trades not on that, but on its food, its fun and its friendliness. Its seafood is the best on the West Coast, which means you won't get sand dabs or rex sole if they weren't caught the night before. (You will at other restaurants, which means they aren't fresh, despite the waiter's oleaginous assurances.) The steaks-- especially for a fish house-- are praised by steak lovers (I'm partial to seafood), and the burgers and breakfasts served in Sam's Tavern are the best in town. And since town is San Francisco, that's saying something.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am a wedding planner and Marigold was a beautiful space for my couple's engagement party that was actually a non-traditional surprise wedding! In the middle of the party, my couple tied the knot shocking all of their guests. Everything could not have been more perfect. The team at Marigold was super communicative, polite, and helpful. The location is perfect for a San Francisco cocktail reception. The pricing was fantastic and the ambiance is really what impressed my couple. Highly recommend this event space!
