It is the perfect space to host any event, and Jillian and Mike were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Stunning 100+ year old house, was home to one of the original wine pioneers of the region. Gardens are beautiful, perfect setting for 100 person event or smaller more intimate gatherings in the home. Affordable from every perspective, it is permitted to bring in your own beverages, catering and other vendors which saves a bunch! Most venues require the renters to use their vendors and buy their beverages which adds up to a lot, quickly. We used Wine Country Paella who were so amazing! Hidden gem, new management who are great to work with. Unlikely to be hidden for much longer.”

“Having our wedding at The San Francisco Theological Seminary was one of the easiest and best decisions we made when planning for our wedding! As soon as we stepped foot on the campus, we knew it was the venue we’d been looking for. Working with the staff here (big thank you to Jeremiah Jenkins!!) was low stress and straightforward. Many other venues we looked at just didn’t feel right and felt overly complicated. The grounds were beautifully rich with history and architecture and more than we could have asked for in a wedding venue.”

After the beautiful courtyard ceremony, we toasted with Jeriko Estate’s amazing Brut Rose under the 100-year-old olive tree. Everyone loved the wine bar and the outside covered arbors overlooking the vineyards. The large press room was awesome for our reception dinner and dancing and saved us from the warm summer afternoon heat. One of the best parts of having our wedding at Jeriko was the onsite lodging. The wedding party stayed in the main Jeriko house that sleeps seventeen and other guests booked the casitas and homes on the property. Jennifer and the rest of the Jeriko staff made our wedding stress free and were a delight to work with. We highly recommend Jeriko estate if you’re planning a special day!”

They checked in with us multiple times, providing walk-throughs, and answering every question extremely promptly. We especially loved our planner and day-of coordinator, Christian, who went out of his way to make everything so seamless. Christian taught us how to do our ceremony, including little details such as hand placement, went out of his way to accommodate a creative painting engagement, and provided private time for us newlyweds. He was perfect! So grateful to this beautiful venue and our wonderful team. We will treasure our experience with Wedgewood forever.”

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Palace Theater. It’s such a unique and beautiful venue, with something for everyone. We wanted ourselves and our guests to get to enjoy ourselves the way each person wants to, and that is absolutely the experience we had. Our guests were blown away by the environment and range of vibes/activities. The best way we could describe it is fun. We literally have pictures of our guests with jaws dropped as they walked into the cabaret and they learned there was more to the venue. The drinks are excellent and the food options are amazing, we loved supporting other local businesses. Between the cabaret, the casino, the jazz bar, the speakeasy within the speakeasy, the photo booth, and the tarot reader, there’s nothing we would change if we were to do it again. Theres such a range of offerings that you can customize to make it your own. The team there is amazing to work and ideate with in setting up the wedding of our dreams. It felt like they were genuinely having fun planning it with us. Damaris and Geoff were awesome. Also, they have a package that can add an external day-of planner from a partner company, and since we did our ceremony elsewhere, this was huge for making our day perfect and stress-free. Our guests still tell us about how much they loved the experience. We had such an incredible time. Our wedding really felt like it fit us, if you’re looking to have a wedding or event that feels more like you, this is the place to do it.”

“We loved the idea of booking a reception venue that already had an incredible staff in-house. GAMH provided us with great care and kind but honest input every step of the way. The event coordinator (the fabulous Mandy!), audio, lighting, catering, servers, bar service, coat check…..was perfection because the team is their own and prideful for the space and its legendary music history. It was special to introduce so many out-of-town guests to this beautiful classic of a venue in the heart of our city and dance the night away. We’ll never forget it and will enjoy attending shows that much more forever.”

“We are extremely fortunate to be based in San Francisco and have the luxury of working at the Swedish American Hall. Unlike your typical hotel ballroom or country club, the venue has a completely unique look which includes wood beams across the ceiling, a partial wrap around mezzanine, a built-in wood bar, and a platform stage, the perfect location for the ceremony, sweetheart table, or wedding cake. The venue provides tables and chairs, allows flexibility with vendors, and couples have the option of adding the below ground speakeasy, Cafe du Nord, for their cocktail hour or late-night dancing.”

“The team at Jefferson Street Mansion are so professional, organized, and kind throughout the whole planning process. I have a busy life and the easy planning and guidance with them made it stress free. I reached out about all types of questions and the Jefferson team deserves a "A !". They are on top of everything and make you feel so special and heard. We worked with Sophia at our first wedding planning meeting and she was such a sweetheart. Jasmine the manager was also on top of our questions and she definitely wears her heart on her sleeve. She made us feel like we weren't a burden because I am type "A". She made my husband I feel so comfortable. HUGE shoutout to Amanda who facilitated our final meeting and was also our day of coordinator. Words cannot describe how well rounded, professional, and at ease with felt with Amanda. She is extraordinary and truly loves what she does and you can see and sense it. She kept up with our wedding timeline the day of and with our hectic Italian and Filipino families she is a wizard for that. My Mother recently got a knee replacement and said that Amanda was so patient and caring towards her. Special thanks to DJ Saul who made the whole wedding so eventful and lively. Robby and I appreciate the whole team and how amazing the wedding went. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how delicious the food was and smooth the whole day went. It was a great time! Grateful for you all! Thank you again to Amanda, Jasmine, Kathy, Kaitlin, Sophia, Jane, Fabi, and Saul️”
