My guide for couples planning a wedding at San Francisco City Hall has been fully updated for 2026!
A heads up if you`re planning a civil ceremony: at some point last year City Hall changed when they release these appointments, which was confusing for couples. But I lay it all out on the blog so you can be prepared.
Here’s what you’ll find in this guide:
- The different types of ceremonies SF city hall offers and what to expect
- Advice on when to schedule your ceremony (day of the week and time of day)
- Questions for you to consider to help you plan a whole wedding day that suits you well
- Tips on transportation to and from city hall
- Recommendations for where to stay for out-of-town couples
Enjoy!

Recently married on the lawn of the Faculty Club at UC Berkeley!
Sally went first with thoughtful and heartfelt vows capturing the arc of their journey together as a couple, starting in California up to now living in NYC together. For a second I thought "I hope his vows aren`t too short when he goes!" but his vows struck the perfect note in response. He also took his time to fill in details of some of their most meaningful moments together as a couple, and the vows they both made were so sweet. It`s abundantly clear that these two really get each other and work together in perfect harmony 🎵
👉️ BUT wait, what do you think of Sally`s real vintage wedding dress from the 60`s? Are you as OBSESSED as I am? 🙋♀️ It shined in the sun like I`ve never seen a dress shine before. So stunning and so environmentally friendly!

What I loved most about Eden & CK`s wedding is that even though they planned a civil ceremony which is the most common way to get married at San Francisco city hall, they had a totally gorgeous and totally unique day that felt perfect for them. We went to iconic San Francisco locations (Nob Hill + Baker Beach) for photos before their ceremony. Then immediately following their ceremony they exchanged their own unique vows in front of their family and friends. Tears were definitely shed!
There are so many more gorgeous photos awaiting you on the blog. Check it out! Link in bio 👆️

We visited one of my favorite locations, Pier 7, after their San Francisco city hall wedding ceremony. Everything was perfect!
