The Snow Building provides expansive views of the Bay Area and an unforgettable setting for your big day. Walk down the aisle of a delightful patio with all your friends and family there to witness your vows. Later, your guests will enjoy cocktails and appetizers on the patio and surrounding lush lawn.
