Unity In Marin

I was fortunate to attend a lovely event at Unity of Marin. What a pleasant environment! The venue was lovely, spacious and welcoming! There was a lovely courtyard in addition the the main space… ample parking and pleasant staff! I look forward to booking events there for my own organization!

2015 will always be a memorable year for me and my wife as it was the year we decided to get married. It all started in January when I proposed during a trip to my hometown in Spain. On our way back we started looking for a venue that fit our needs and preferences for our special day, which was an endeavor. Most places we visited were way above our budget, had multiple limitations in time and were not fully private. This meant that, in some cases, wineries were open for wine tasting or the venues with golf courses would have people playing next to the ceremony spot.
After many weeks of intense searching we came across the Unity in Marin. We immediately fell in love with the venue and loved that it represented our marriage, a Spanish colonial style church with the California palm trees. The place had it all: beauty, a lush garden courtyard where we held our ceremony, and a large space inside for the dinner with all our 100 guests. It even included a wedding coordinator and an audiovisual expert during our ceremony.
Our wedding coordinator was Nancy, and she is fan-​tas-​tic! From day 1 she was very helpful and accommodating of our ideas for the wedding plans. She was prompt in getting the contact of all vendors to coordinate with them, working with us the details of the arrangements in the garden, catering, music, etc. Nancy did a wonderful job. On the day of the wedding we got to enjoy the whole ceremony and celebration as everything went smoothly, and from the stories of my married friends, that is something that can not be taken for granted.
Since part of my family and friends in Europe could not attend our day Nancy arranged with Tom to have our ceremony livestreamed in real time, and that was awesome, we were even notified on the day of, how many people were following it from the different countries.
All in all, we had a great day, we loved the venue, our family and friends were impressed by the beauty of the place. We appreciated how everything went smoothly and we have to give a lot of that credit to Nancy and Tom as they really did an amazing job so we could have a enjoyable day. And the memories of that day will be always in our hearts!

Totally non-​responsive to inquiries about help for homeless person in Marin County.
I left numerous phone messages … none were acknowledged.
A feel-​good group that’s sucking on the government teat and just going through the motions to give themselves well-​paying jobs … at least for the paid staff.
The volunteers are well-​meaning but ineffective without proper management.

My wife and I got married in December of 2011, and could not believe how gorgeous this property is. It’s like landing in an oasis in Novato.
The staff (Jacquie and Josh) were so helpful during what is usually one of the most stressful times in any relationship… but they made it a breeze.
We had the service in the sanctuary, which was decorated for the holiday season complete with a huge holiday tree and garlands. We found that we didn’t need to decorate at all. The reception was held in one of the conference rooms and the staff made us feel so at ease, the whole event went off without as much as a speed bump.
They offered many options to make our set up and event, dare I say… easy.
We took pictures in the courtyard (gorgeously landscaped), but they even have a small prayer garden a few steps from the hall.
I hope that I never get married again, but if I do… there is no doubt it will be at Unity in Marin!!!

Recently coordinated a wedding at this venue (was booked by bride & groom). Venue is beautiful & staff very easy to work with. Jacquie had an answer to all of our questions & was great to work with.
Jeremy was very flexible the day of the event in moving around and managing their tables for our everchanging layout. Thanks to him & the rest of the staff for making the 7.16.11 wedding a pleasant experience.
