You Can Have A Once In A Lifetime Affair With A San Francisco City Hall Wedding

By Andrew Snyder


Most couples have a ceremony of some kind when they get married. It can be an elaborate affair with hundreds of guests, an orchestra, and an expensive reception. Others opt for the most economical service they can manage with just a handful of friends and family. If you want a great, affordable experience, and trick your guests at the same time, you can invite everyone to join you at your San Francisco city hall wedding.

If you love the idea of getting married in one of the most famous and photographed buildings in San Francisco, but are on a limited budget, you can opt for an affordable, but memorable, one hour ceremony. It can be conducted on the Mayor's Balcony or the Gallery on the fourth floor. There is room to seat up to sixty guests. Refreshments after the ceremony are not an option. The basic package costs a thousand dollars.

If you need more room for guests and want a more elaborate affair, you can have a two hour service for around five thousand dollars. These ceremonies take place in the Rotunda on the Grand Staircase. There is room for two hundred guests. Your package includes insurance, basic services, and chairs. You will have to set up and break down the equipment within the two hour window.

Evening ceremonies in this impressive, nineteenth century building are especially popular. You will repeat your vows on the Grand Staircase, enjoy cocktails in the North Light Court, and then move into the Rotunda area for a formal dinner with dancing afterward. You can choose to be married during the week or on the weekend. You will have access to the venue from two in the afternoon until two the following morning.

The event coordinator will meet with you to discuss which package works best for your situation. You will probably find that you need to hire an independent vendor to handle the details. This venue is limited in what it can offer you in the way of seating and equipment. You will be billed separately for everything the staff provides that is outside the basic package.

The packages do not come with marriage certificates or licenses. For those you will have to go to the Clerk of the Court's office. Packages are not inclusive of a person to officiate at the ceremony. If you don't have a preference, contacting the city or the Clerk's office is recommended.

You will receive a list of rules and regulations when you sign your event contract. You should read it over before you spend money on fireworks, smoke or snow machines, or confetti. None of these items are allowed. You can't affix banners, lights, or signs to the building's exterior without the authorization of the city engineer.

If you are getting married in San Francisco, you really should consider having the ceremony in this American Renaissance monument. It will be an experience you can relate for years to come. You will surprise everyone with the story of your city hall wedding.
