Wedding Venues in San Francisco

We hosted our October 2023 Wedding Ceremony at Hakone and we were so happy with the beautiful gardens and overall experience. The staff at Hakone (Tony and Melia) were extremely helpful, friendly, and easy to work with and they went above and beyond to make sure our rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly. We requested a unique setup with two aisles and we had a large decoration to attach to an arch we rented through a vendor, and they worked with both us and our vendors to make sure that everything was set up just right with plenty of time to spare. They also helped us work through all the important details of the ceremony without being overwhelming, and they did a perfect job executing on the actual ceremony, queuing our party to walk and managing the music and sound system. The garden itself is beautiful in any season. We visited multiple times throughout the year leading up to our wedding and enjoyed different plants in bloom every time. In October, the garden was still lush and green with redwoods, bamboo, and the Koi pond providing amazing variety. Our guests had a great time strolling through the gardens before and after the ceremony, and there were tons of amazing backdrops for our wedding photos. They even gave us a complimentary year-long membership following our wedding so we could come back to relive the memories! In summary, we highly recommend Hakone whether for a wedding ceremony or just a visit!

Tour * We fell in love with Clos LaChance Vineyards (now CordeValle Winery) the moment we stepped onto property. We were looking for a winery wedding venue that could host up to 200 guests and where you could see vineyards from the ceremony and/or reception site; Clos has exactly that plus a golf course view! Our tour with Kristin Murphy ended with some wine tasting, both red and white. Pre-Wedding * Kristin was incredible to work with! We had a lot of questions during the wedding planning process and she always had answers! Kristin was quick to respond via email and very accommodating when it came to special requests. Something that can’t go unnoticed was her expertise in the wedding industry and how knowledgeable she is to the property. Wedding Day * The Clos LaChance event staff took care of everything day of wedding. They set up all of our signage in the exact location we asked for it to be placed. They placed our appetizers at our sweetheart table since we weren’t able to join Cocktail Hour. Not only did they take good care of us and our guests, the food that Chef Lu cooked was delicious (although we knew this coming out of the food tasting). Overall * We would highly recommend Clos LaChance to anyone looking to host an elegant wedding. * Clos LaChance will always have a special place in our hearts. We look forward to our future visits reminiscing the best day of our lives along with a glass of 22 Pirates Red Blend and Reserve Chardonnay. Forever grateful, Iannick and Kelby

Our wedding day didn’t go exactly as planned—but in the most beautiful way possible. From the moment we booked the venue, we knew we had found a hidden gem. The space was absolutely stunning and incredibly affordable compared to others we looked at. Every corner felt romantic and well thought out, and we were truly blown away by the value we received. But what made our experience truly unforgettable was Carolina, the venue coordinator. When a few unforeseen challenges came our way (as they sometimes do with weddings), Carolina handled every single issue with such grace, confidence, and calm. She truly became the hero of our day, stepping in and making adjustments without ever letting us feel stressed. Her professionalism and kindness turned potential chaos into seamless beauty. Thanks to her and the amazing team, our wedding turned out to be the most beautiful day of our lives. Everything came together in a way that felt magical. We were able to soak in every moment, surrounded by love and beauty, without worrying about a thing. If you’re considering this venue—don’t hesitate. You’ll get more than you pay for in all the best ways. We couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and for Carolina’s unwavering support. Our hearts are full!

I had my Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Villa Ragusa in September 2023 and it was so beautiful and funny. My guest really loved the venue, food and bar. we have 360 guests and had plenty of space for ceremony, reception, dancing and dinner buffet. Villa Ragusa's staff took great care of us!

We had the most amazing wedding in July here at Willow Heights Mansion!!! Our day was beyond perfect. Everything from the planning process to the day of the wedding went so smoothly thanks to all of the vendors and especially our coordinator Christina!! We were so nervous leading up to the wedding day, but once we met Christina during our rehearsal we knew she would do an incredible job. She made sure to update us throughout our wedding day, kept track of all of our guests, made sure we had a meal/drink ready at our sweetheart table waiting for us after our ceremony and kept checking in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything else. She kept us on track and on time for everything throughout the whole day. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I could not recommend this venue and Christina enough!! We cannot thank this team enough for making our day so special and memorable❤️

We cannot recommend Emily and Janciz at City Club enough! They truly were the dream team that made our wedding experience completely stress-free and enjoyable, both during the planning process and on the big day. From our very first consultation, they were incredibly organized, proactive, and responsive. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Emily and Janciz were always ten steps ahead, ensuring every detail was covered well in advance. Their level of professionalism and expertise was immediately apparent. We had to go back and forth on the Banquet Event Order many times because some things we thought would be fun to add (lamb shanks, french fry station, etc.) ended up compounding in price with surcharges and taxes. But, they were very willing to help us with our requests. They made us feel completely supported and heard throughout the entire journey. On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly. They were constantly on top of every detail, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. City Club is a beautiful venue, but Emily and Janciz are the incredible people who truly bring the experience to life. If you are considering City Club, you are in the best hands possible with Janciz!

The people working at the catering and events department are great! They are responsive, patient and very helpful in addressing all my questions/concerns. I planned my own wedding and they made my experience much easier since the venue took care of things such as catering, beverages, set-up, and some rentals. I must say that everyone I had the pleasure of dealing with were polite, helpful, and took their jobs seriously which made the experience as stress free as possible. The chef went out of his way to handle the dietary restrictions of my guests and the food was great. Good sized servings and tasty. The staff who worked my event were also friendly and accommodating. I received very positive feedback from my guests regarding the food, the atmosphere and the staff. Honestly, if I had to do it all over again, I'd still pick the same venue. I had a great wedding and I think that was largely because I chose the Hyatt Centric and worked with their wonderful staff.

Shayna was an absolute pleasure to work with. We enjoyed meeting her and found her fun to work with. Her transparency was refreshing, and her overall skill and awareness was legendary.

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Bridges Golf Club, the Garden Pavilion room, and we were so delighted at how beautiful everything turned out! We worked with Sharon, who was highly responsive, flexible, and answered our many questions. Sharon was honest and provided great recommendations for the food, table layout, timeline, etc. Her feedback and wonderful communication skills made the wedding planning process so smooth. The wedding day was a breeze. The staff at the Bridges were on top of things and were on schedule. The table settings were beautiful, the staff were kind and professional, and the setting was stunning. Our guests were blown away by the spectacular views of the canyon, and took epic sunset photos. The staff always checked in on my husband and I to ensure we had sufficient food and drinks. Speaking of food, the food was so delicious! With Sharon's recommendation, we selected the prime rib, salmon, and ravioli. The portions were generous, and the guests were very impressed by the quality! We also had an open bar, and everyone enjoyed the quality of the drinks. We would recommend the Bridges without hesitation! Thanks Bridges for making our wedding day so magical.

If I had do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same! It was a dream come true to have our wedding reception at Fort Mason and I'm so thankful to have had Shawn and the whole team at Fort Mason to assist with our wedding day. The venue is beautiful and all of our guests were stunned by the view and location.
