On our 3rd wedding date, we decided to downsize our wedding from 200 to 14 people and move to the Penthouse Suite at the Fairmont SF! We moved venues 3 months before our wedding and Emilie Lynch was just a gem in getting us all situated!! Our wedding planner, CMG Events, coordinated with Emilie perfectly and was able to get everything set up. The Penthouse has amazing views & so much history - it really brought our SF wedding to life!! Emilie helped coordinate so many things for us too - Bridal Suite (we used the Cambridge Suite), extra cots for our siblings to sleep on in the Penthouse, Grooms Suite (we used Golden Gate suite), and additional hotel rooms for our guests. She also helped me get a special surprise to our wedding planner & called my room to check in on me. LOVED having our wedding at the Fairmont!!

We had planned our wedding for over a year to be in Napa, CA. Five days before our wedding date, our original vendor, confirmed that they would not be able to host us due to the Atlas fire. Over the course of a day, our plans were shifted to the Fairmont courtesy of Emilie Lynch the Director of Catering.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Emilie and the Fairmont. Given our circumstances, they waived a fee and matched us dollar to dollar to our existing contract with the other vendor. All of this was done on such a short notice that I couldn't believe that it happened at all.

Working with the Fairmont during this stressful time was absolutely painless. We weren't able to try all of the food prior to the event: however, I was completely satisfied with their recreation of the dishes we had already selected. The thing I was happiest to see was the beer selection offered to our guests - Anchor Steam! I was happy that there wasn't a big name domestic company on the offerings.

We are eternally grateful to Emilie Lynch and the Fairmont for being able to accommodate a wedding at such late notice and we did never got the impression they were trying to take advantage of us.

The Fairmont San Francisco was our dream wedding venue, with stunning settings, great food & beverage choices, amazing service, and a lot of San Francisco history. The Fairmont had one of the most inclusive and flexible wedding packages we found during our search, great spaces for an outdoor or indoor ceremony (we were glad to have the backup if needed), and some of the best views in the city. The team were fun and easy to work with, from our initial event design through tastings & decor stagings, and of course the day itself. Several guests commented on the great level of service they received at the hotel, and we couldn't have been happier with how smoothly the details came together on our wedding day. We held our ceremony on the outdoor terrace, and reception in the Crown Room, which boasts possibly the best 360-degree views of San Francisco bar none. This is hands-down one of the premier event venues in the city and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Fairmont if you want to have an incredible San Francisco wedding.
