Where is this Bay Area wedding venue?

In the summer of 2016 I attended a wedding at a historical mansion, within a 90 minute drive of San Francisco. This is a photo taken inside. Other things I remember:
- it was Victorian or similar
- it was in what felt like a small town/rural area
- it's probably more likely to be Marin/wine country than East or South Bay, but I can't say with confidence.
- there was a large porch/deck, possibly surrounded by trees
- the photo was taken either in a front parlor, or in the room where they had dancing
That's really all I remember. Maybe someone recognizes the photo, or can think of a venue that sounds similar?

Maybe the Hayes Mansion in San Jose? See photo 8.

Did the couple have a wedding website set up? Maybe it still exists and has the details.

Best answer: I think that’s in Falkirk Mansion in San Rafael.

Response by poster: Thank you! Yes, it's Falkirk Cultural Center for sure.

Was it my wedding? I got married there and it's lovely and relatively affordable.

Response by poster: I'm sorry to say that I was a +1 and genuinely remember nothing about the bride and groom. But it was a lovely wedding, so let's say yes. (Ultimately I decided I wanted something more transit accessible, so we're going with the Haas-Lilienthal House).
