Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Mission-style architecture is paired with exquisite natural landscaping at this gracious Marin County campus, nestled in the rolling hills of southern Novato. Most importantly, the Unity community is deeply committed to their mission of inclusion, warmly welcoming couples of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and faiths.
- The lovely Spanish Colonial-style chapel is nestled among fragrant roses, wisteria, palms and a broad lawn. Inside, the soaring interior is lined with clerestory windows, inviting in views of the ever-changing sky. For additional seating, the balcony has been adorned with restored pews from the original Hamilton Chapel and a colorful stained glass window that throws beams of light throughout the space.
- Garden-style weddings are easily arranged in the courtyard, which has a fountain as its centerpiece. This outdoor space is enclosed by colonnaded walkways that provide shade and can also be used for a buffet or cocktail table setup. Steps away, you'll find the enchanting Meditation Garden, where a wisteria-covered trellis beckons you down a winding, greenery-lined path perfect for romantic photos.
