Westin St. Francis - Borgia and Mission Bay Room

Prior to booking the Westin St. Francis, my partner and I searched literally all of the Bay Area to have version 2 of our wedding (version 1 was in 2020, yikes). Immediately, we were drawn to the romanticism of this location. We viewed 2-3 different rooms we could hold our 60 headcount wedding. We loved every room, but what really helped us make our decision was the Mission Bay Room on the 32nd floor of the Tower building. The view of Union Square below and the airiness of this room (floor to ceiling glass windows) literally took our breaths away. In addition to this, Jenevieve Beaulieu, the Event Manager at the Westin made further solidified our decision. Besides the amazing wedding package the Westin offers, Jenevieve was the hidden gem here. She was there for us from day 1 and took her time to answer every single question we threw at her (there were A LOT of questions). She has a certain demeanor that is very hard to find in a Event Manager. Sometimes it feels as though Event Managers can be somewhat jaded to weddings because they deal with them every week, but not Jenevieve. She really gave us the care we needed and wanted. She wore a moon necklace for us as it was mentioned in our vows and she even cried during the ceremony! What a special moment to share with someone that has been along this journey with us since the start of version 2. We cannot thank her and the staff at the Westin for all they have given us.

My bridal shower was in San Francisco and I have to say my stay here was nothing short from amazing!
The hotel is huge! A beautiful historic building. Nice and happy people as well. It really is in the PERFECT LOCATION! In the city however you have that great park across the street. This place is a GEM! I cannot remember the gentlemen at front desk for the life of me however he upgraded us to the top floor and gave us a view of the park, unbelievable. The room was vintage and charming. I loved the older restrooms and marble floors, the closets are big and the bedding is marvelous. Great stay!

Selma was truly wonderful to work with! I was one of those brides who had a million questions throughout the planning process, and she responded to each in a timely manner with lots of detail which I appreciated! The Westin was a wonderful place to get married, right in the heart of Sf. The Imperial floor is jaw-dropping stunning and Selma and her team made sure my wedding was perfect. Thank you!
