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.

Couples who have more to spend and are looking for something a little more elaborate can choose a two hour ceremony. This services are conducted on the Grand Staircase of the Rotunda. The area can accommodate up to two hundred guests. For five thousand dollars you get the venue, chairs, insurance, and basic services. The two hour window is inclusive of setting up and breaking down.

A really great option, and one that is extremely popular, is the evening ceremony. Vows are taken on the Grand Staircase. Your guests can enjoy a cocktail reception in the North Light Court, and then dine and dance in style in the nineteenth century Rotunda. Services are held on weekends and all throughout the week. You will be able to set up beginning at two in the afternoon and must have everything out of the building by two the next 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.

Your package will not include the marriage license or certificate. These are obtained through the Clerk of the Court's office. Packages do not include individuals to officiate the ceremony. If you don't have a preferred official, you may contact the Clerk's office or the city for more information.

When you discuss packages with the event coordinator, you will probably receive a list of rules and regulations. Items that are not allowed will be high on the list. These include fireworks, snow and smoke machines, confetti, helium balloons, and smoking. If you want to raise a sign or banner, or install lighting, on the building's exterior, the city engineer must supervise it.

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.
