Built in 1861 as the Executive Officer's Quarters for Benicia Arsenal, Jefferson Street Mansion showcases Empire design architecture inspired by French military figures Napoleon and Lafayette. This Victorian mansion was carefully restored in 1998 after the Arsenal's 1960 decommissioning, preserving its architectural integrity while adapting it for modern celebrations. The venue combines authentic period details with San Francisco Bay views, while customizable all-inclusive packages ensure your wedding flows smoothly from garden ceremonies to elegant indoor receptions.

Love Notes

Absolutely loved working with the Jefferson Street Mansion staff. We felt very heard and catered to. We received so many compliments from friends and family about the venue, staff, vendors, food, and music. It really is a "have it your way" set up, you can choose to have a big grandiose wedding or small minimalist wedding. I arrived to the venue on wedding day with zero nerves because I knew the staff and coordinator knew my expectations.

Everything was amazing. The staff was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to requests or questions. They also reached out when we had guests leave items after the wedding and helped arrange for me to get the items returned to the guests. The team was amazing in all ways and couldn’t have been a smoother wedding! Thank you especially to our day-of coordinator who ensured the wedding went amazingly!
