From the reviews
My sister had her wedding here. The center consists of a couple of old army barracks lovingly and artistically restored decades ago surrounded by foggy northern California coastal land. A very unique and beautiful environment very close to the bustle and grime of sf. Ill always remember my time there.
Just a beautiful place. The buildings there are absolutely nostalgic as they are old army barracks. They date back to World War II. A lot of wildlife in the area as well which only adds to the luster of this particular place. There was a wedding in progress there while we were there.
My pictures don’t describe what a great event location this is. We came for a wedding and it was well done top to bottom. Great scenery and the wait staff was even better. Highly recommend for any group gatherings
Beautiful historical art center My son did a residency internship there and loved it. The grounds are beautiful so close to the ocean. Beautiful place for artists to create their works.
Getting married at Headlands Center for the Arts
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
