Carolyn and Austin's waterfront wedding at The Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon

A two-level restaurant on the Tiburon waterfront with the Sun Room, private dining rooms, patios, bars, and full-buyout options.

Planning and guest experience

Decide which floors remain open to guests during each transition, where the ceremony room will be reset, and whether waterfront portraits can fit into cocktail hour without delaying dinner. Confirm current room capacities, buyout boundaries, accessibility, sound, and weather plans with the events team.

Light and photography

The useful contrast is immediate: bright water and open patios outside, then layered restaurant interiors after dark. A short waterfront portrait break is enough; the story is strongest when the rooms remain full of guests.

Questions to confirm

  • Confirm the current capacity and floor plan for your guest count
  • Walk the guest route from arrival through the end of the night
  • Check access, parking, sound, weather, and the real end time
  • Keep portrait travel shorter than the social time it replaces
