San Francisco City Hall

"Built in 1915, this grand domed Beaux-Arts building houses the city government & offers tours."

San Francisco City Hall is a National Historic Landmark and Beaux-Arts venue in San Francisco that offers civil ceremonies, private wedding rentals, and event space across multiple interior settings. Wedding options range from civil ceremonies for up to 6 guests to two-hour Saturday ceremonies on the Rotunda's Grand Staircase for up to 200 guests, with evening rentals accommodating up to 2,000 guests. The building is noted for its grand staircase, rotunda, marble interiors, and soft natural light. Built after the previous City Hall was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the current structure was designed by architect Arthur Brown, Jr., begun in 1913, and completed in time for the World's Fair of 1915. Located at 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, San Francisco, CA 94102, accessible via BART, Muni, AC Transit, Caltrain, and Golden Gate Transit. Reviewers frequently cite the architecture, marble details, grand staircase, and natural light as photogenic assets, and note that the venue can be loud and that wind outside warrants planning for hair and makeup touch-ups on-site.
