The evening was magical! It was a fairytale wedding with some budgetary constraints- you would have believed it was a million dollar wedding reception! The staff from start to finish were SUPERB and the dinner menu wonderful! The cake- a masterpiece!
10 Stars to Julia Morgan and team!
The Groffs

The Julia Morgan Ballroom is a stunning venue and was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The service is outstanding, the food is amazing, and everyone involved in the process was flexible, supportive, and responsive We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in San Francisco.

The Julia Morgan Ballroom is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The ceremony can be held in the ballroom or in the fantastic lobby of the building. Lillian and her staff are incredibly responsive and work very hard on everything from how the space is set up and looks, to food and drinks, and any and all other details so the the event is perfect. They are sensitive to budget needs. They answered any questions we had during the planning process and were available the day of the wedding to make sure everything was as it should be. I highly recommend Julia Morgan.

We had an amazing wedding experience at the JMB. Our ceremony took place in the atrium lobby with the light coming in from above and the beautiful architecture. It was magical. Our reception was In the ballroom with the old world charm and such great architectural details designed by Julia Morgan herself! Lillian and Elexis were there every step of the way for anything from vendor and decor advice to day of coordination. I was planning my wedding from across the country so they were so much help. People are still raving about our wedding!
If you love SF history, appreciate old world architecture, and want a memorable elegant wedding, I highly recommend the Julia Morgan Ballroom. Youll really have one of a kind wedding!

Having our wedding at the Julia Morgan Ballroom was an absolute dream. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew that it beat out all the other venues we checked out prior to this one. The ballroom is stunning, elegant and took our ​breath away. The architectural finishes truly makes it stand out from the rest. Being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one location was key. We didn't want our guests to be shuffling around all day long.

The amazing team at JMB truly wowed us, especially Lillian Phan​, the Director of Weddings​ and Elexis Feldbrill​, Wedding Events Manager​. They were so wonderful to work with, very professional, incredibly detailed and were always quick to respond to all of our endless questions in a timely manner, whether it be through email, phone calls or texts. ​ ​We were very well taken care of and had so much confidence in them to execute every and all details on the day of our wedding. We could not have asked for a better duo to handle one of the most important days of our lives.

To this day, we still have many friends and family who give us rave reviews of our venue and the ​amazing ​team who helped us carry out our beautiful wedding. We can not thank them enough!​! We highly recommend JMB and if we could do it all over again with Lillian and Elexis we would do it in a heartbeat!​

I originally had a longer review for Wedding Wire, but there is a character cut-off so I will be posting that one on Yelp!

I cannot recommend this venue & team enough. The JMB is absolutely breathtaking and has such a classic San Francisco feel. It is grand & opulent, but still felt very intimate for our wedding. Their in-house catering was such a high point. One of our priorities was making sure we didn't have the dreaded "wedding food" at our own wedding & they certainly did not disappoint. I loved the dinner so much that I saved our menu card from our wedding! And when you mention the catering at the JMB, one cannot leave out the wedding cake. It was made through Jasmine Rae Bakery, the sweetest, most talented baker I've met! Not only was the cake delicious, it was a work of art. We gave her our wedding palette and allowed her to take artistic licence with our cake design, & we are so glad we did!

One of the best parts about the Julia Morgan is the JMB team- lead by the Director of Weddings, Lillian Phan & the Wedding Event Manager, Elexis Feldbrill. These two women completely took our wedding vision in their hands and executed it flawlessly. We were lucky to have them be both our month of & day of coordinators, which was undoubtedly the saving grace of our wedding. In the few weeks before the wedding, they managed our wedding itinerary/details with emails that helped me stay organized, & even offered suggestions when I was at a loss with wedding decor. On the day of, Lillian and Elexis became superwomen- steaming my dress and veil, carrying my touch-up kit, making my husband and I feel absolutely at ease on one of the most hectic days of our lives. Lillian did all of this on top of managing the entire wedding day. I know the rest of their team were doing just as much behind the scenes, & hope they know my gratitude as well. I would 100% recommend this venue and their highly talented and professional team.

Venue: The JMB is an AMAZING venue. It's beautiful, timeless, and quintessentially SF. When my husband and I began the wedding venue search process, the Julia Morgan Ballroom was at the top of our list from the get go. It was the first venue we visited and from the moment we were greeted by Lillian and walked through the space, we knew it would be the one to beat - and no venue ever did. The venue itself has so much history and is incredibly stunning. All of our guests were in awe of the space!

Lillian and Elexis: Were awesome! They were professional, incredibly responsive, always followed through in a timely fashion, were incredibly detailed, flexible, and all around just great to work with and made the process even better. We felt at ease with them and we knew all the details would be taken care of. They were always willing to answer any and all questions I had (and I had alot of them!) and always kept me informed of big deadlines coming up. We also hired a partial wedding planner which was amazing and she and Lillian and Elexis worked very well together too!

Food: We chose 4-6 passed Hors D'oeuvres during cocktail hour and had a buffet style dinner. ALL of our guests couldn't stop raving about the food. People typically are iffy about wedding food but we along with our guests absolutely loved it. We wish they had a regular restaurant we could frequent in order to have the same food we picked out for our big day!

Cake: we ordered our cake through JasmineRae - and it was seriously one of the best cakes we have ever had. All the cake details were coordinated through the JMB which made it even better during the planning process.

All in all, I would greatly recommend the JMB - you won't regret it!

Once you see the venue, and meet the team, you will be hard-pressed to pick a different location. Our experience was perfect in every way!

One word - spectacular!

We had our wedding at this venue. This was a Hindu wedding on a weekday with a relatively small party of 60 guests. And everything was just spectacular. Right from the very first email to the time we left happily married. Lillian and Elexis helped us plan everything within our budget, accommodated our special needs without a single glitch, and made our day absolutely memorable. They helped us think through the myriad details that go into planning a wedding. Without us even asking. Things went very smoothly on the day. Our guests were mesmerized by how gorgeous and elegant the venue is. Honestly, we would not have been able to do this without the excellent customer support we received.

his review is long long overdue! Shame on me for taking so long to write this review for our glorious wedding venue and the amazing wedding team: Lillian Phan and Kaley Fountain. My husband and I celebrated our wedding here at the beautiful Julia Morgan Ballroom. While we were venue shopping, we had narrowed it down to two venues, the Julia Morgan Ballroom being one of them of course. There were a few key reasons why we decided to go with the Ballroom over the other venue. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Lillian Phan, the Director of Weddings, answered every question we had, showed us the venue several times, laid out all of our options, and showed us patience and flexibility as we grappled with what a lot of couples may grapple with when planning a wedding: BUDGET. After very many phone calls and emails back-and-forth, Lillian helped us crunch the numbers and just like that our DREAM wedding came to life (and within our budget to boot)! FOOD/DRINKS & SERVICE: We had a wonderful, gourmet, family-style dinner which was whipped up by the amazing in-house kitchen. The food was delectable the wine and beer selection were top notch -- I received so many compliments from our guests! The service staff was also on point. We were told that service was attentive, timely, and most important, all the wine glasses were consistently kept full (always important in my book!). EVENT MANAGEMENT: Kaley Fountain, the Event Manager at the time, was amazing! Days up to the wedding, she made sure all the minor details were executed to the exact way I wanted, from arrangement of the photographs on the fireplace, to the exact placement of the guestbook, couple photos, and wedding favors! She even set aside time to help us conduct a rehearsal of our grand entrance at the venue with the entire wedding party! She and Lillian checked in on us throughout the event - from making sure we had appetizers and bubbly when we arrived after the ceremony, to making sure that our night was perfect.
