The Terrace Room
1800 Madison Street
Oakland, California 94612
The wedding venue is located near the shore of Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland. You may get there:
1. By car: The Terrace Room is in a typical residential neighborhood. Your best bet for street parking is to park at a meter — they only apply until 6 pm. Streets that might have parking include 17th, 19th, and Lakeside. Please read the signs wherever you park, however, to ensure you don’t get a ticket. There is a surface parking lot just a few blocks away on Harrison Street between 15th and 17th Streets. For those who have already reserved parking at Oakland Auto Body & Frame (which is now full), it’s at 11th and Madison, 0.4 mi away from the venue.
2. By public transit: The closest BART station is 19th Street Oakland BART (0.5 mi away). Exit at 17th Street and Broadway, and walk east until you reach Madison Street. The venue will be on the far side of Madison Street between 17th Street and the lake.
3. Taxi from public transit: Oakland City Center/12th Street BART (0.6 mi away) is immediately adjacent to a cab stand at 13th and Broadway, where there are frequently taxis available. There is another taxi stand at 11th and Broadway, near the entrance to the Marriott Hotel, if there are no taxis at 13th.
4. Shuttle from our preferred hotel: Finally, our hotel, the Executive Inn & Suites, offers a free shuttle to the venue (see Where to stay). If you are staying there and plan to use the shuttle on Saturday to get to the wedding, please inform the front desk staff upon arrival that you will be doing so.
