Civic architecture and special occasions

San Francisco City Hall

San Francisco City Hall is known for its monumental dome and ornate interior, and it is also a popular setting for civil ceremonies. Whether you are visiting the building or attending an event, make the purpose and entrance clear in your plan.

01

Admire the architecture

The rotunda and public spaces offer a striking look at the city’s civic design. Check current public access and security guidance before planning a sightseeing visit.

02

Plan a ceremony as its own appointment

Civil ceremonies use a reservation process and specific requirements. Confirm the current instructions with the County Clerk and coordinate arrival time with your guests and photographer.

Getting there & back

Give the ride a place in your plans.

A private ride can help coordinate a City Hall ceremony, hotel pickup, and reception transfer. Provide exact addresses and the timeline; ceremony reservations and venue access are arranged directly with the City.

Review the exact destination and return plan when requesting your quote. Transportation does not include event tickets, admission or venue reservations.
