I'm reviewing Riggers Loft as a wedding venue, as I recently had my wedding here. The venue is spectacular: the views are incredible, the building has the perfect warehouse vibe, and there is an active Osprey nest nearby that adds to the overall allure of the place. Ships, both big and small, float by, reminding you that even though this is part of an old WW2 facility, the nearby port is still very active. My partner and I interacted with Barbara, one of the owners, to plan our wedding. Barbara was always kind, professional, responsive, and totally accommodating of our requests. Thanks to Barbara and Riggers Loft staff, our wedding went even better than we imagined. If you like the feel of this place as a wedding venue, they'll work with you to make your dream wedding become reality. Such an amazing place! Also--our guests loved the wine!

One of the best decisions my husband and I made was to have our wedding at Riggers Loft. From start to finish, the owners, Barbara and Kevin, were super friendly and responsive, and really took great care of us. Also, the venue itself is super unique, and we got a ton of compliments on our choice from our guests! You really can't beat the amazing view of the SF skyline, being right on the Bay, and in such a cool and historic area. Oh, and the wine and cider selections are simply impeccable! We cannot recommend this venue more highly!

We looked at multiple different venues as we had several constraints and wanted outdoors/indoors space, gorgeous water views, live music, and something that is particular to bay area, like winery, city skyline view and bay. I never really imagined what is my dream wedding setting, but once we visited Riggers Loft, it was love from the first sight! Hands down the best venue on earth! And the hosts of the Riggers Loft Cellars are super accommodating and helpful! We would like to express our gratitude for your creativity, helpfulness and flexibility. From the early planning stages, they proved to be more than just a venue provider – they were our partners in bringing our vision to life. Their innovative ideas significantly enhanced the atmosphere of our celebration, and their willingness to accommodate our needs - be it a live pianist, traditional hindu setting, - was beyond exceptional. It was this blend of creativity and adaptability that made our wedding uniquely ours. Our guests were raving on how gorgeous the venue was and how much they have enjoyed it.

Our wedding with Riggers wine loft was amazing! The team lead by Barbara were attentive and always got back to us in a timely manor. We were able to design both the outside and interior spaces exactly as we hoped. Barbara was extremely flexible with our wedding hiccups and work with our budget. They helped to ensure our wedding day felt very special. We intend to return to the space in the future just for fun!

We loved our wedding at Riggers Loft! The owners, Barbara and Kevin, are lovely people who made us feel welcome and appreciated from day one. Barbara worked closely with our wedding coordinator to pull off our wishes for our big day. They have a FANTASTIC in-house chef / catering team (managed by Chef Frank Miller) that absolutely slayed our wedding food at a better price than we were quoted by other catering companies. I am so glad we chose Riggers Loft!

My husband and I got married this past October at Riggers Loft Wine Company. It was a truly beautiful venue with extremely helpful host and catered food. We couldn't be happier with our decision and plan on coming back to the location just for fun!

You cannot beat this venue--and especially not in the Bay! Let's be honest, your guests have been to a thousand rolling hills/greenery/farmhouse weddings. They want something different! Enter Riggers. A GORGEOUS view of San Francisco right on the water, industrial chic vibes, walls aligned with wine barrels, string lights as far as the eye can see, boats passing by during the ceremony. Like a legitimate foghorn happened during our vows--where else can you get that?? Our guests LOVED it and kept telling us how unique the venue was. Plus fabulous wine and champagne and a great price! We chose the option where the venue stayed open to everyday customers during our wedding (they partition off half the venue for the wedding using wine barrels)--and not only did this not detract, it actually added to the experience! We loved seeing these people we didn't know watch through the windows, and after our crowd cheered at the end of the ceremony, we came inside and that crowd of strangers cheered, too! It was phenomenal, and that setup also allows us to keep our costs low in one of the most expensive areas to have a wedding in the country. To top it all off, the staff is wonderful. Barbara and Kevin were incredibly responsive, and the bartending staff was as nice as they come. We love Riggers. I cannot imagine doing our wedding anywhere else--and you shouldn't either. It will forever be a special place for us. So excited that we can go back as everyday customers and relive the most perfect night over and over.

Riggers Loft is an amazing venue full of incredible views and spectacular people who will work with you every step of the way to make your wedding day everything you want it to be! We had a wonderful experience for our small, daytime wedding of 16 people. We only needed to reserve a portion of the venue for a few hours so Roy Creekmore and his team did what they do best and sectioned off a private area for us. Barbara Brown (VP) also reached out to us to see if we had any preference on the type of music or live band that was scheduled to play that day which made our experience so much more memorable. We highly recommend Riggers Loft for the wine, cider, rustic atmosphere, the staff, and as a venue for any event but especially for your wedding. Roy, Barbara, and the staff simply made it easy for us to enjoy our lovely day. There's not much you need to add to this venue in terms of decoration as the winery is unique and truly remarkable the way that it is. Cheers!

I had my wedding at Riggers Loft in October 2019 and it was an awesome experience! This is a GORGEOUS and unique venue, with a spacious warehouse feel right on the water in Richmond with incredible views of the Bay and SF. My husband and I looked at about 10 venues total and couldn't agree on one until we walked into Riggers Loft - and we both knew it was the right choice for us, especially because it was a better price than many others. Our experience working with the Riggers Loft event staff was also excellent - their event manager, Roy, was easygoing and flexible, and worked with us to create the day we wanted. He was flexible about things like when we dropped things off / picked things up from the venue, helped us pick excellent wine for the event, and managed coordinating with all our vendors so we didn't have to. All in all, we loved Riggers Loft as a venue, and so did our guests - everyone raved about the cool and gorgeous space! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique space in the Bay Area with a flexible and easy-to-work-with staff who will help you create your dream wedding.

Blew away all my expectations!! I cannot recommend Riggers Loft enough for your wedding day. The price was hard to beat, the location is perfection and the staff was incredible. We had an amazing time. They really catered to my every need, went above and beyond, worked super well with my wedding coordinator and vendors, it was all so smooth! Such a unique location! People are still talking about our wedding! This place is a hidden gem :)

R&B Cellars hosted our wedding ,we rented the entire winery. The view of the San Francisco bay was amazing! It was a pleasure to work with Roy Creekmore. He made our day come together when I thought we were going to have issues. Everyone was great to work with. It's a light fun venue!! All of our guests enjoyed the wedding -the winery is a rustic vibe!! We had fun! I would highly recommend R&B Cellars for weddings & parties!!

Roy Creekmore, and his crew, are among the hardest working event staff and coordinators, I've ever met. Truly selfless, and adaptable, they made our wedding experience at Riggers Loft Wine Company a truly memorable and momentous occasion - not to mention, they offer the most stunning view of the bay from their outside patio. I strongly recommend this location for any event, especially weddings, as the atmosphere generates it's own lasting experience, alone. Caterers have their own, out of the way, area to operate and the immensity of the event space, rivals that of the pavilion, across the canal. Great cider, great wine, terrific staff - this is the place for your party. Not enough? Well, the WWII Red Oak Victory boat, right next door, is probably one of the best places for wedding photos, that I've ever seen. Our photos came out amazing, as you would expect from such a visual goldmine. All in all, Riggers Loft will not disappoint. Roy, is very accommodating and extremely pleasant to speak with, and his staff truly keep the party running smooth. Worth every penny. (Ask about the osprey). -John and Nicole

It was such a privilege working with event coordinator Roy Creekmore at Riggers Loft. Roy was professional, knowledgeable and always so calm during the planning of our daughter's wedding. He along with our wedding planner (Silicon +Sea), helped us create a magical experience at this beautiful winery overlooking San Francisco Bay. Truly this place is a hidden gem!

Riggers was a perfect location for our October wedding! The scenery was beautiful, and the staff were all very helpful. We had two bartenders who were friendly and fun. Barbara, one of the owners, was especially helpful when we had some major last minute issues with the venue setup, but she was able to work with us to make it perfect. Our guests had a great time! I highly recommend this venue for an event!
