Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Even in a city known for its architecture, this 1874 Greek Revival stunner stands out. With its grand façade, classic columns, sweeping staircase entry, and antique gas street lamps, this imposing structure provides a dramatic welcome for your guests—not to mention a striking backdrop for photos. Throughout the entire property, which encompasses 92,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, you’ll find an intriguing mix of 19th-century architectural details and modern conveniences.
- The expansive enclosed Courtyard is idea for an al fresco ceremony with epic sky views and total privacy. Then mingle over cocktails outside … or segue directly to the Mint or Gold Ballroom. Each features a 30-foot high ceiling, gold-and-glass globe chandeliers, carved wood wainscoting, and an ornate, iron-railed wraparound mezzanine—and both are yours to enjoy. In fact, you can incorporate virtually all of the The Mint’s spaces into your celebration—even the gold vaults on the lower level (for an extra fee).
- Stately ballrooms contrast with fun, quirky rooms where officials once weighed coins and stacked ingots for safekeeping. Brick walls, a checkerboard marble floor, a long hallway, and shafts of natural light put a creative spin on traditional dressing rooms. This fabulously unique property is managed by Non Plus Ultra, the Bay Area’s leading venue activation firm. In addition to their professional staff, they offer several packages that include furnishings, lighting, design consultation, and outside vendor negotiations—all of which makes planning a whole a lot easier.
