Located nearby the wedding venue and should be gorgeous in the spring!
Lake Merritt is one of our favorite places in Oakland - and where we got engaged! Take a stroll around the lake or check out the nearby shops and restaurants on Lakeshore & Grand Avenue.
Catch a movie at Piedmont Theatre and then head down to Fenton's Creamery for a late-night milkshake (benefit of a brunch wedding is that you'll have the whole evening to explore the East Bay). There are tons of other cute shops and restaurants on this street as well!
If a Sunday morning hike sounds like your thing check out Redwood Regional Park - we take the dogs on an off-leash hike here often & there are always lots of cute pups!
If you've never been to Berkeley we'd suggest checking out Shattuck Ave for lots of cool shops and good food.
