Garden wedding venues near San Francisco

The Bay Area is a garden-venue embarrassment of riches: the Conservatory of Flowers and Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park, the San Francisco Botanical Garden's redwood groves, and estate and vineyard gardens a short drive into Marin, the Peninsula, and wine country. The microclimates are the planning twist — summer fog can chill a city ceremony while it's sunny an hour north — so visit at your actual date and hour, and ask about wind and a warm indoor option. September and October are the Bay's true summer and its most-wanted dates.

What couples say

This is a great little garden that doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic. It’s usually empty and great place to get away from the crowds. It’s near a lot of the main attractions on this side of the park - Botanical Garden, Japanese Tea Garden, Music Concourse, de Young and Academy of Science.

I can't recommend Wedgewood GGC at the Presidio enough to people who want to host a wedding in SF. It was the perfect venue for us by a long shot and it all comes down to all the employees and the network of vendors that all work in professional tandem to produce a most stunning event.

I officiated a wedding here, and it’s such a beautiful location! The interior is stunning with large glass windows and wood accents. It’s great for a cottage-core type feel. The space is small but it’s perfect for more intimate ceremonies. There’s a bathroom and space to store stuff off to the side.
