Officer's Club at the Presidio by Wedgewood Weddings 135 Fisher Loop • San Francisco • CA 94129

The Presidio is a genuine treasure. A former military post turned national park, it boasts an iconic San Francisco Bay vista that includes the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Architecturally significant buildings have been lovingly restored and are arrayed among 1,491 acres, where gardens, forests, and wildlife flourish. Naturally, such a spectacular setting is perfect for memorable weddings, and this National Historic Landmark District has plenty of scenic venues to choose from.

The one with perhaps the most prestigious legacy is the Officers’ Club. Formerly reserved exclusively for army brass, this gracious Mission Revival-style building now hosts romantic civilian celebrations among its private, historic spaces. The handsome Moraga Hall, with upscale furnishings, rough timber lintels and a vintage fireplace, is a warm and welcoming refuge for a relaxing pre-function gathering or a formal dinner. The neighboring garden courtyard is a wonderful pre-function space, and also gives the Moraga a nice outdoor flow.

Larger affairs are resplendent in the 2nd-story Ortega Ballroom. Its high open-beam ceilings and tall windows frame a forested view with a peek of the bay. Step outside to the adjoining balcony and terrace for even more breathtaking panoramas of park and bay.

The Officer's Club pairs well with the nearby Chapel of Our Lady, a favorite option for ceremonies thanks to its beautiful stained glass and embellished rafters.

Couples that celebrate at the Presidio can also enjoy an abundance of activities before and after their big day, and even stay at the park's charming Inn and Lodge for the full Presidio experience.

If you’re planning to leave your heart in San Francisco, there really is no better place than the Presidio for a destination wedding in The City.
