About Ritz Carlton, San Francisco Weddings

Of all of the wedding venues and event centers in San Francisco, the Ritz Carlton is the household name that conveys luxury, elegance, and attention to fine detail. Centrally located on Nob Hill near Union Square, the 1909 historic building still maintains its neo-classical facade. A Ritz Carlton San Francisco wedding is both a grand affair and a homage to San Francisco’s history.   

Wedding Ceremonies at Ritz Carlton, San Francisco

The Ritz Carlton San Francisco offers two wedding venues to host your ceremony and reception. You may choose to celebrate on the red-brick courtyard terrace, where guests can move easily between the indoor tent (set up for the wedding ceremony pictured below) and the outdoor patio, where guests can admire the beautiful rose and herb gardens during the day or dance under twinkling lights and Bay Area stars at night.

The Terrace Courtyard Tent is one of the two ceremony sites on the property.
