I am a wedding planner and Marigold was a beautiful space for my couple's engagement party that was actually a non-traditional surprise wedding! In the middle of the party, my couple tied the knot shocking all of their guests. Everything could not have been more perfect. The team at Marigold was super communicative, polite, and helpful. The location is perfect for a San Francisco cocktail reception. The pricing was fantastic and the ambiance is really what impressed my couple. Highly recommend this event space!

Before our wedding, one of the most common pieces of advice I got was "not everything will be perfect, so just make sure to enjoy the day, regardless of what goes wrong." Well, our wedding at Grace Cathedral was absolutely PERFECT. Everything was just as I imagined it. Leading up to our big day, Mahogany was wonderful in helping us coordinate and prepare a wedding that felt authentic and true to our vision. Father Greg guided us as we prepared to commit our lives to each other, and gave us such invaluable counsel. The Grace staff was lovely and professional. Our wedding was something straight out of a FAIRYTALE. Months later, people still tell me how unforgettable and awe-inspiring it all was. The venue is breathtaking and the acoustics are incredible. We feel so blessed to have had the privilege of getting married at the most beautiful church in the United States. Highly recommend getting married at Grace Cathedral!

Omni Hotel San Francisco 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Four Diamond rated Omni San Francisco Hotel is in the heart of downtown. An ideal choice for a business stay, romantic getaway or California vacation. A short walk from art and cultural centers, the historic cable car line, Union Square and Chinatown, attractions are convenient to reach from our hotel in San Francisco. Our 362 guest rooms are a charming blend of traditional and modern. Relaxing spaces with comfortable beds and warm, welcoming decor.

The Omni made an incredible first impression on us. It’s a beautiful & grand space, but there was something very comfortable about it at the same time. That’s mainly due to Jano Paredes, our event coordinator. He was so welcoming & genuinely passionate about creating a special event for us. We toured two other venues, Julia Morgan & Webster Hall. While these two venues are beautiful, there weren’t nearly as caring or appreciative of our business as the Omni. The Omni made the stressful planning process enjoyable (we planned it in about 3 months!) & they were understanding when we had last minute changes & requests. They were also very flexible throughout the wedding planning. They even swapped out some of the beer in their package so they could bring in brands we liked better. Amanda Maggard is amazing. She managed the accommodations for all the guests. Many of our guests also commented on how incredible the check-in was. It was rainy that weekend, so the Omni was quick to offer complimentary umbrellas. They even gave each guest a free drink voucher at the hotel bar! Amanda also made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable in the Presidential Suite, complete with champagne, ice buckets, & several glasses for my visitors. It’s a lovely space to take getting-ready pictures. I was originally worried the grand ballroom wasn’t going to fit our vision & was torn on using the same space for the ceremony & reception (they have another room available if you’d prefer not to do this), but it was gorgeous! The spaces felt totally unique between the ceremony & the reception. The grand ballroom really provides a blank slate to create something beautiful & it can be difficult to appreciate when it’s completely empty. The mezzanine where the cocktail hour was held is beautiful & needs no additional decorations & the dim sum buffet was a huge hit. Guests loved the reception dinner menu. We went with a plated dinner selection of sea bass, chicken, or oyster mushrooms. The crab soup was delicious & by far the most popular. The passion fruit cheesecake was exceptional, but we also offered our guests a lovely Marjolaine cake slice. Later that evening, the Presidential suite where I initially got ready was transformed into our honeymoon suite. We were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, & two custom Omni robes with our initials embroidered on them (my new initials since I was changing my name). It was so touching that it brought tears to our eyes. The Financial District was the optimal neighborhood to host our wedding. It was very safe & picturesque. We had a several family members nervous about coming to San Francisco because of the negative media coverage, but they all fell in love with the city by the end of the weekend. I know Webster Hall wouldn’t have given us the same treatment (they didn’t seem to care if they had our business or not). Julia Morgan was wonderful, but with the Omni, we just had a feeling we’d be in the best possible hands by people who genuinely cared, & we were right. Now, we love the Omni so much that we had Valentine’s Day at Monte’s two weeks after our wedding & the hotel surprised us with dessert & champagne, as well as a card signed by their staff congratulating us on our wedding. It’s a bar we now frequent because of the quality of service, food/drinks, & of course, our wonderful memories there. The Omni was the absolute best decision of our entire wedding.

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 96 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Plant Connection SF’s event venue is a lush and spacious indoor-outdoor urban oasis. Venue rental including private access to a large plant-filled room with a variety of seating options that opens to a verdant rooftop patio complete with panoramic skyline views of downtown San Francisco and Salesforce Tower, a portable bar, portable heaters, an olive and citrus grove and the frequent presence of hummingbirds. A unique feature of our venue is that it is attached to a plant nursery housed in a gorgeous red solarium where guests may shop for plants and gifts during your event, if desired. Plant lovers (and plant lovers to-be) are sure to swoon.

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Plant Connection SF in 2022, and I really cannot express how truly magical our experience was. This venue deserves nothing less than a perfect 5/5 rating! From the moment we set foot in Plant Connection SF, we were captivated by the beauty of the environment. The venue is a picturesque haven in the middle of concrete-heavy downtown SF that boasts a nice blend of nature and modern elegance. The lush greenery, vibrant plants, and thoughtfully designed space created an incredible backdrop for our wedding day. One of the standout features of Plant Connection SF is undoubtedly the incredible staff. The team went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was nothing short of perfection. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine consideration for our needs made us feel like the center of the universe. The level of professionalism and dedication exhibited by the staff at Plant Connection SF is commendable. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was executed flawlessly, from the ceremony to the reception. Our guests were equally impressed by the warm and accommodating nature of the staff, making our wedding an unforgettable experience for everyone. As a queer couple, it was particularly special to be celebrated in this space. The inclusivity and warmth of Plant Connection SF's staff contributed to making our wedding day truly magical. I wholeheartedly recommend Plant Connection SF to anyone in search of the perfect wedding venue. The combination of breathtaking aesthetics, exceptional service, and a team of dedicated professionals makes this place a gem in the world of wedding destinations. Our special day was nothing short of magical, and we are forever grateful to Alen and everyone at Plant Connection SF for turning our dream into a reality. If you're looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, look no further – Plant Connection SF is a true standout in every way imaginable!

The Pearl 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

The Pearl is located in the heart of one of San Francisco's most historical and culturally rich neighborhoods, Dogpatch. Designed with both form and function, The Pearl is partnered with some of the Bay Area’s top industry players to offer guests in-house versatility that goes beyond the expectations of any private venue. Complete with state-of-the-art lighting and audiovisual capabilities, gorgeous rooftop views of The Bay, and permanent art installations by Alexis Laurent, the 9,000+ square foot space is an industrial charm waiting to be transformed by your wedding vision. Accommodating up to 800 guests, The Pearl has a main floor, mezzanine, rooftop, catering kitchen, and a top notch in-house bar program featuring the finest selections of local beer, wine, and premium spirits.

The Pearl will forever hold a special place in the hearts of myself and my husband. It was the first venue we toured and we knew right away it was going to make for such a special wedding day. We are now 2 days post wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The entire planning process was a breeze thanks to Carrie. All of our guests raved abut how amazing it was that the ceremony and reception were at the same location! We did our ceremony on the roof, as well as our cocktail hour on the roof. Then we had guests walk downstairs to our reception area. The bartenders were incredible and did a fantastic job keeping our 130 guests well fueled. We hired Melons Catering, a caterer on The Pearl's short list of caterers, who absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to the food. Guests couldn't stop talking about the quality and service of dinner! We are over the moon with how our wedding went and have zero bad things to say about The Pearl, or anyone who works there. If you're looking for a venue that screams urban city, but green and organic as well... look no further, as The Pearl can do it all. 10/10 recommend!!
