(with pricing and photos)
Interested in learning what the best San Francisco wedding venues are? I have rounded up some of my favorite wedding venues of all types to give you some insight into planning your big day. Whether you are wanting an elegant location or something more casual, the choices below will outline some of the best San Francisco wedding venues to help you decide!
San Francisco City Hall
Marriage License: $110
Ceremony: $90
Different Locations (optional): $1,000 – $5,000
The most popular wedding venue in San Francisco, San Francisco City Hall is used most every day for weddings and elopements. They hold over 30 weddings every weekday, but you can rent it out on the weekends for just you and your party. It is arguably a more stunning building than actual wedding venues, making it my favorite choice for best San Francisco wedding venues to choose from.
Take a look at my San Francisco Weddings page for more information.
The Olympic Club
City Clubhouse: $2,000 – $3,300
Lakeside Clubhouse: $1,500 – $3,300
An Olympic Club is one of the best San Francisco wedding venues and one of my personal favorites because I love the naturally lit interior with floor to ceiling windows that grace the ceremony area. Having photographed here several times, I have come to realize why it is where Barack Obama has golfed while visiting San Francisco, as the venue itself is so well maintained, the staff is on point, and the location of it by the ocean affords it some stunning views especially during sunset. This post is talking about the Lakeside Clubhouse specifically, since there is also another Olympic Club location (the City Clubhouse) in the heart of San Francisco.

Shelldance Orchid Gardens (Pacifica)
Rental Fee: $1,400 for a full day
With a setting seemingly straight from a movie, Shelldance Orchid Gardens is truly a one of a kind elopement setting and one of the best San Francisco wedding venues just outside the City, technically. Simply looking around, there is little doubt why this is one of the most gorgeous and best places to have a smaller wedding.

The Conservatory of Flowers
Packages: $3,500-$20,000 (depends on spaces reserved)
Located in Golden Gate Park, The Conservatory of Flowers is the perfect Golden Gate Park wedding venue for those who want to be surrounded by rare and unique plants. Located in Golden Gate Park, the Conservatory of Flowers offers outdoor seating, allowing your guests to enjoy dining under the stars even! This offers one of the more unique experiences, making it an easy addition to the best San Francisco wedding venues for me.
