Their team of experts will work with you to customize your ceremony and events.
Moreover, the San Ramon Marriott is an excellent choice for not only your wedding day but pre and post wedding celebrations as well: mehndi, maiyan, sangeet, and post wedding brunch.
Understanding that South Asian wedding celebrations are important religious, cultural and family events, the San Ramon Marriott has a number of spaces that are ideal for a sangeet, garba, mehndi, pre-ceremony pooja's or prayers, haldi and other ceremonies.
Conveniently located in the East Bay of sunny Northern California, your out-of-town guests will appreciate the San Ramon Marriott's proximity to 3 major airports. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is closest.
The hotel does not operate a shuttle to/from any airports. We recommend renting a car or using a rideshare app.

The San Ramon Marriott allows ceremonies to take place between 10am-7pm. Ceremony packages include 4 hours for setup and 1.5 hours after the ceremony for photos, prior to and after the ceremony window of 10am-7pm.
This timing is ideal for most Indian weddings as most South Asian weddings are either in the morning followed by lunch, or in the late afternoon immediately followed by cocktail hour. Your Catering Sales Manager at the San Ramon Marriott will be happy to work with you on the event(s) schedule.
With guests arriving from all over the world for your wedding, at the San Ramon Marriott you can treat them to a taste of sunny California with a unique indoor-outdoor cocktail hour in the Bishop Ranch Ballroom foyer and patio.
Ceremony: Bishop Ranch Patio (enjoy an outdoor ceremony)
Lunch: Contra Costa Ballroom or do an outdoor setup in the South Courtyard Patio
Cocktail hour: Bishop Ranch Patio
Reception: Bishop Ranch Ballroom
The San Ramon Marriott is happy to offer rectangular long tables which are particularly popular for seating family as well as the wedding party. For general guest seating the San Ramon Marriott is happy to offer round tables that seat 8-10-12 guests each, for an elegantly styled ballroom where every guest can enjoy the reception program.
Select from round tables that seat anywhere from 8-10-12 guests per table.
ProTip: 12 guests per table starts to get a feel a bit cramped, thus it is generally not recommended unless necessary.
ProTip: chiavari chairs are narrower and therefore occupy less space than the standard banquet chairs that are included in the hotel's package.
During Cocktail Hour:
During cocktail hour the bars are set up in the Ballroom Foyer. If there is enough space, they are brought inside the ballroom during the reception.
During Reception:
During the reception, the bars are usually setup inside the ballroom, unless there isn't enough space in which case they will remain in the Ballroom Foyer. In general, it's recommended for bars to be setup inside the ballroom for the duration of the reception.
ProTip: at most Indian wedding receptions the bars remain closed during the program and reopen when dinner service starts.
