San Francisco City Hall is one of the Bay Area’s most iconic wedding locations. Because it is a public building, couples may take portraits in many public areas during open building hours without reserving a private wedding space. San Francisco City Hall offers different wedding options for weekdays and weekends, depending on the size and style of the celebration. For simple civil ceremonies, couples can book their marriage license and ceremony through the San Francisco Office of the County Clerk. For weekday private ceremonies, City Hall Events offers a One-Hour Wedding package on the Mayor’s Balcony or Fourth Floor Gallery. This rental includes private use of the space for one hour, while chairs, musicians, florals, and other vendors may be arranged separately. City Hall Events does not provide an officiant or manage marriage licenses and certificates. Weekend weddings are typically larger rentals. City Hall’s Two-Hour Wedding package is held on Saturdays only on the Grand Staircase of the Rotunda and can accommodate larger celebrations. For larger evening or weekend celebrations, couples may rent the Rotunda with one or both Light Courts, depending on the size and style of the event. For current rules, availability, fees, and booking details, please refer to the San Francisco County Clerk and San Francisco City Hall Events websites.
