Piedmont Community Hall Wedding
A & G’s wedding at Piedmont Community Hall was full of soul. It was layered with emotion, rooted in tradition, and grounded in the kind of beauty that doesn’t need to shout. Piedmont’s redwoods offered the right mix of natural quiet and room to celebrate.
First look in the garden
The day started at the historic Japanese Tea House. Tucked next to the hall and surrounded by flowering trees, it’s a peaceful spot with just enough space to slow down. A got ready there, taking in the calm before meeting G for their first look in the redwood grove. It was one of those moments where everything else goes quiet. Just the two of them, completely in it.
Structure with space to breathe
They had a schedule. But when the day took its own shape, they moved with it. When timing shifted, they made room. That gave the day breathing room and made the experience feel present, not prescribed. That mindset changed everything.
Ceremony under the redwoods
They held their ceremony in the amphitheater surrounded by redwoods. The patio seats 120 guests, with bleachers for 80 more. It’s the most popular ceremony space on the property, and for good reason. You don’t need to dress it up much. A & G brought in intricate floral arrangements that layered color and shape without overpowering the space. One of their closest friends officiated, and the ceremony hit all the right notes – warm, personal, honest.
Before the recessional, they jumped the broom. The tradition dates back to the time when enslaved Black couples in America were denied the legal right to marry. Jumping the broom became a way to claim commitment and community, and today it stands as a celebration of resilience and heritage. When A & G jumped, their loved ones jumped with them.
The soundtrack shifted immediately after. A brass band recording kicked off, and the entire crowd followed A & G in a second line-style procession to the reception. It brought energy, movement, and joy. No band needed. Just the right sound and the right people.
Dinner, dancing, and connection
They held their reception outdoors on the patio, which can seat up to 200 guests. The indoor hall fits 120. Piedmont’s layout makes transitions easy. From ceremony to dinner to dancing, it flows. Guests don’t get lost or shuffled around. And because A & G gave themselves time to just be, the whole evening felt connected.
Dinner happened under the trees, lit by string lights and filled with laughter and long toasts. The dance floor opened quickly and stayed full. No staging. Just real energy.
