About

Located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, the Haas-Lilienthal House is the only Victorian-era residence in San Francisco open to the public as both a museum and event space. A combination of stately elegance and old-world charm, the house is a warm and intimate space appreciated by all ages. A one-of-a-kind venue, the Haas-Lilienthal House is perfect for many different types of events.

History

Built in 1886 for William and Bertha Haas, the House is an exuberant example of Queen Anne-style architecture. The Haas and Lilienthal families occupied the House until 1973. It then went into the trust of San Francisco Heritage, a non-profit architectural and cultural preservation organization who turned it into a museum and event venue for the enjoyment of the community. In 2012, the House was designated a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Perfect blend of elegance and history --Could not have picked a better wedding venue!

We found out about Haas Lilienthaal through a reddit post I believe, and it truly was an amazing venue for our wedding. It had the perfect mix of stately adornment, timeless-- almost imposing historic beauty, and a staff that can only be described as magnetic as they are charming. I think Woody may just have been our favorite person to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Easy going, no stress, and a natural problem solver. He was attentive to all of our questions and needs, and was excited to share the history of this beautiful house with both us and our friends and family. Very excited for this place to open back up to the public this spring. It's a must visit, and a quintessential piece of SF history!

A real gem!

I feel like I looked at nearly a hundred reception venues in the greater Bay Area during my extensive google searching. I found Haas-Lilienthal house and saw that it had a couple nice reviews and decided to do an image search. Another couple had posted their wedding video on Vimeo and that's just about what did it for my now-husband and me.

Haas-Lilienthal House is a Victorian mansion turned into a museum. It has a lot of original furnishings from when it was occupied and then some pieces made to fit the decor. It's stunning! Because it's so beautiful already, you really don't have to decorate it all that much. My wedding team and I went with ivory linens, some bronze chargers, crystal stemware-- nothing fancy, really. But even so, I received compliments from so many of my guests. The ballroom downstairs was where we got to play around with decorations more. Blue and purple uplights transformed the space and we hung disco balls from the hooks in the middle of the ceiling. Because we had a cocktail-style reception, we saved the ballroom only for dancing and drinks while the rest of the food was served upstairs. It was the best use of our resources and budget because of that. Either way, this venue is a steal for the price given the average cost of venues in SF.

I highly recommend Haas-Lilienthal, especially if you like vintage, Bay Area charm.

A lovely house and very well priced. Aside from the fact that we really loved the house it was great that they provided tables and chairs for the reception as part of the rental price. Just wish the upstairs washroom was usable.
