If you want a beautiful venue with a very professional staff that allows you to enjoy your wedding, this is the place! We worked w/Michelle Kimmins & she is superb. She met & spoke with us before the wedding as much as we needed, she was there for the wedding & made sure everything went smoothly. The head of catering is terrific - everyone complimented us on the great food. You don't need to add much to the venue - it is lovely & a perfect place to have ceremony, cocktails, dinner upstairs, dancing...go for it!

Choosing the City Club to be our reception location for our July 3, 2011 wedding was the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. One month later, I still am receiving phone calls and emails from guests about how delicious the food was, how well the event flowed, and how beautiful and unique the City Club was. Guests raved about our duo petit filet and salmon entree, they loved the elegant Art Deco decor and the stunning view of San Francisco (wait til you see it at night..!), and they were so impressed by how the downstairs cafe was transformed into the dancing space after cocktail hour.

As other brides mentioned, the City Club is very reasonably priced considering the caliber of their food, service, and not to mention their stunning venue. Unlike other upscale hotels in the area, you have the City Club all to yourself on the day/night of your wedding-- and it's so much more personal, lovely, and unique than a "hotel wedding." We considered the Ritz Carlton, Fairmont, and Omni, but none of their spaces held a candle to the City Club. The City Club has a wonderfully retro/elegant/classic/glamorous feel with tons of personality, which generic hotel ballrooms cannot hope to compete with.

The City Club is amazing in itself, but then there's Cassie Harris, the Sales & Catering Manager worth her weight in gold. Cassie is the best wedding coordinator a bride could hope to work with. She's smart, savvy, professional, punctual, kind, has a wonderful calming and relaxed presence, and is simply incredible at what she does. I can't tell you how much time and effort she put into our wedding. We booked the City Club just over a year before our wedding and we certainly put her to work in the interim. We changed floor plans at least a dozen times, changed our menu three times, created numerous elaborate displays for our cocktail hour, and more, and Cassie took it all in stride. Our directions and questions for Cassie could have filled up several large volumes, but never once did she make me feel like the very high maintenance bride that I admittedly was. She was always willing to help and full of great ideas. She promptly returned phone calls and emails, and accomodated me even when I ran late to meetings. On the big day, she made sure everything ran smoothly and without a hitch. I wouldn't be surprised if the City Club eventually books several years in advance for weddings, considering the amazing experience they create for brides like myself.

Thank you, Cassie, and the entire City Club staff, for making our wedding more than we asked for, more than we hoped or expected, more than we dreamed!!

I wish I could give MORE stars here. I had my wedding last month at City Club . . . I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it all over again.

Venue, food, coordination, and a completely beautiful day. I would recommend City Club to my dearest friends any day.

The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food is still being talked about as the best wedding dinner my guests have had, and our onsite Coordinator, Cassie Harris, exceeded our expectations (and was wonderful, kind professional and very thorough).

When we first selected the venue, it was obvious that even with no wedding decorations, City Club is absolutely gorgeous, elegant and classy. I had been to a wedding there previously and fell in love with it even more when we reviewed for ours. The decor is glamorous to say the least.

The wedding itself can be held there, they have the ceremony on one floor, and then your guest move up past a beautiful Diego Rivera painting to the dining room. During dinner, the previous floor is transformed into a BEAUTIFUL dance and reception area . . .really breathtaking. I caught my breath when I came down to the reception after dinner . . it was amazing.

Our onsite coordinator led us through the entire process, from selecting City Club, to finding the right dining package, and then through the palnning phase. She was SO on top of everything. As the date approached, she worked with each of my vendors for a perfect outcome. I was really surprised at how smoothly everything went. On top of it all, she was SO helpful on the day of, with everything from fastening boutonnieres to reparing my bustle that broke to comforting us all to calmness.

I am so happy we made such a good choice . . . we will remember that day forever as being perfect!

The City Club helped make our wedding personal and intimate for our guests. We highly recommend this venue and will probably be back for anniversary parties in the future.

My husband and I visited a lot of wedding venues all over the Bay Area before we decided on the City Club for our wedding in July 2010. We loved the fact that the City Club was so private, with two floors of event space so that we could move guests around and keep the event flowing. The space itself is beautiful (although we did cover up the archer statue over the fireplace with a drape) with great views of the city, and there is something about it that just feels comfortable and makes you want to hang out for a while. It has a very old San Francisco feel to that we thought added a cool vibe to the wedding. There is just something very elegant about the space. It was also very convenient for our guests, as they were able to walk to the wedding from their hotels.

The wedding ended up being even better than we could have imagined. The space looked beautiful, the staff was all extremely helpful, and everything went off without a hitch. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour on the 10th floor, dinner on the 11th and then back down to the 10th floor for dancing. We got compliments all night (and are still getting compliments) about how much our guests loved the space.

The food was also great. As appetizers we served crab cakes, spanakopita, lemongrass prawns and beef skewers. For dinner we had peppercorn crusted filet of beef and pan seared salmon. All of it was delicious.

To top it off, the price for the City Club was very reasonable when compared to other venues in the City.

Overall, I was very happy that we chose the City Club for our wedding venue. It was the perfect day.

Cassie at The City Club was a great help for my wedding. She was able to work with my ideas and then completely take control and create a wonderful event. She was light and happy and kept the spirit of the planning fun. The space is magnificent; it barely needs any decor. Having two beautiful floors available is extremely convenient if you would like the ceremony and reception in one location.

We were soooo happy we decided on the City Club. It has such a great sense of history and is truly a unique building. There is a gorgeous mural by Diego Riviera in the stairway and the Art Deco decor was greatly appreciated by the guests. One of the reasons I chose them was that many they have very highly rated food. We had a tasting and I was so pleased, especially the champagne that they include in the package. Not bad at all! And our guests were so complimentary towards the food. I also found their packages for the bar to be really reasonable. They were quite flexible so we did a flat rate for the first hour and a per drink rate for the remaining hours. The rental fees are reasonable and we had both floors to ourselves. We had a photobooth which was easily accomodated and the staffing was great. We even had a room for the babies for them to rest in right off the dance area,- very convenient. Our event planner was Cassie and she was really helpful and just super easy to work with. And she would get back to my emails so quickly- I love that! Overall, there weren't any muckups or problems- the night went pretty seamlessly. The only thing that I wish it had was better lighting. We took our family photos here and since it's a historic building and it was an evening wedding, some of the photos were a bit dark.
