The Presidio is a wedding venue located in San Francisco, California. First fortified by Spain in 1776, this site has long played a key role in the defense of San Francisco Bay. In 1846, the fort and surrounding land passed into the possession of the United States Army. Today, the area is a national park site. The park is a place of extraordinary natural beauty, where woodlands give way to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Facilities and Capacity

The Presidio boasts a number of beautiful event facilities. The Chapel of Our Lady was the site’s first established place of worship. Built in 1846, it features lovely stained glass windows and a lovely arched ceiling. A large cathedral window bathes the chancel in natural light. The Presidio Chapel was built in 1931. Designed in the Mission Revival style, the Chapel’s tall walls are capped with a handsome redwood ceiling. The floor is covered in colored tiles, and one wall of the Chapel is decorated with a splendid fresco. The nearby memorial garden is a favorite spot for outdoor ceremonies. A short distance beyond this, the Presidio Officers’ Club invites couples and their guests to enjoy its elegant Ortega Ballroom and gorgeous views of San Francisco Bay. Located on the second floor of the building, the Ortega Ballroom is able to accommodate 150 banqueting guests. The Golden Gate Club is another popular reception facility.
