We’ve reached out to over 100 wedding venues in San Francisco Bay Area. We’ve discovered a number of venues who can safely host a wedding during COVID.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s April of 2021 and situation slowly improves. San Francisco and Bay Area are in Orange tier and many venues are open and accepting wedding reservations. We’ve reached out to over 100 and here are our favorites. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The venues we have listed below actually opened up to couples who are planning their intimate weddings during COVID. However, as much as we want this information to be accurate, please discuss the plans directly with the venues. Regulations are often changing – a venue that may be offering to host a wedding today, may be closed tomorrow. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

We will keep working on the list, adding new venues as they reopen. We worked in most of these venues and can make recommendations based on your preferences (<\/span>contact us<\/a>). Each place is unique and will definitely affect how your wedding photos will look. If you already have a venue but need help with planning an elopement, here is our <\/span>recently published elopement guide<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Some of the venues listed may be even considered as an alternative to once popular <\/span>San Francisco City Hall wedding<\/a> since City Hall is currently closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
