You and your partner have a lot of decisions to make when you start planning your nuptials. You may be looking at something simple and economical or an all out bash with no expense spared. It might be fun to tell your guests you are going to the courthouse to have a San Francisco city hall wedding. They will be in for a shock if they thought you meant a quick service in a sterile office conducted by a local judge.

This building is one of the most iconic and photographed monuments in San Francisco. You can actually be married there for as little as a thousand dollars. This amount will get you a one hour ceremony conducted on the fourth floor gallery or on the Mayor's Balcony. There is seating for sixty guests. Since you only have one hour, the reception will have to be held elsewhere.

When you have something more elaborate in mind, and are planning to invite a lot more guests, you might choose the two hour ceremony. These ceremonies take place on the Rotunda's Grand Staircase. The area will seat approximately two hundred guests. The basic cost is five thousand dollars and, in addition to the venue, you have basic services, chairs, and insurance included.

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.
