Rent PWC’s Historic Event Space
Hold your event one of Petaluma’s most iconic buildings. Built in 1913, the Petaluma Woman’s Club offers a romantic, light-filled setting that blends historic elegance with modern comfort. Vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a dramatic stage, and garden patio access make it ideal for ceremonies and receptions alike. This event space is located in the heart of Sonoma wine country, yet has the downtown conveniences in the immediate vicinity.
In addition to private event rentals, inquire about our Fireside Room for small gatherings including informal workshops, meetings, group discussions, or trainings. Availability and pricing are determined based on use, setup needs, and scheduling.
