Temescal Beach House is an Oakland wedding venue situated within the Temescal Regional Recreation Area, managed by the East Bay Regional Park District, offering two indoor rooms and a large flagstone patio overlooking Lake Temescal. The venue suits intimate weddings and celebrations, with a seated capacity of 80 and standing capacity of 130, a gas fireplace, hardwood floors, a vertical garden on the patio, and views of Lake Temescal. Beer and wine are permitted; no liquor. Couples must use an approved caterer, though a DIY non-catered option is available for reservations ending by 7pm. The Beach House opened to the public in 1940, built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) originally as changing rooms and park district headquarters. Located at 6500 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94618, near the intersection of Highway 13 and Highway 24. Couples note the venue works well for intimate gatherings of around 56 guests, praise the greenery surrounding the patio as a ceremony backdrop, and appreciate that the interior and exterior require minimal decoration. Some reviewers flag that the bridal room is small and that the lack of an on-site kitchen means caterers cook off-site.
