The Best Wedding Venues in San Francisco - The Regency Ballroom

The Best Wedding Venues in San Francisco through the eye of a Professional Wedding Photographer 

Weddings at The Regency

Any bride would do her best to make her wedding truly memorable not only for her and his groom, but also for the guests.  Guests are not mere acquaintances of the couple but are special people who have been part of the couple’s lives.  It is no wonder that weddings are planned with detail to the point that sometimes brides become bridezilla.  But at The Regency Center, special consideration is given for brides.  The Regency Center takes out the stress of planning for a wedding.  Knowing that a couple faces the constraints of budgeting, the couple can choose from a great list of preferred vendors.

If the couple has a caterer in mind, The Regency Center also welcomes outside catering.  This is advantageous if a couple has a friend or relative who is a caterer and would probably give discounts and freebies as a wedding gift.

There is no in-house wedding coordinator or planner at The Regency Center but their people, like Bailey Nakano, their Private Event Sales Manager, works with couples or their planners and coordinators to achieve that special wedding event that any bride envisions.  Bailey’s experiences have taught her that couples are often concerned with how much time they can use the venue.  That is understandable because every host wants to make sure that guests have a good time during their wedding.  And that’s what The Regency Center offers – hourly rates for use of the venue.  In that way, couples can stretch their budgets.

When it comes to working with vendors, The Regency Center expects open communication from them so that details are not left to assumptions and the couple gets what they envisaged.  Couples are also entitled to several ocular inspections so that they have a feel for the venue and are able to take advantage of its old-world charm, having been built in the early 20^th century. 
If you expect around 380 guests for your wedding, you can use the Regency Ballroom.  It has a stage for a band and a dance floor; 430 if you prefer to do away with the dance floor.  You or most likely, your family, can use the parlor to catch up on the lives of your relatives who might be from out of town.  They might prefer the privacy and calm of the parlor when the wedding party is in full swing.

If your budget constrains you from a larger crowd, opt for a Sutter room, which accommodates crowd of 300. It also has a stage and an annex room if you go slightly over a guest list of 300 or if you want an area where your guests can lounge around after your wedding program.

Lastly, if you desire a more intimate gathering that accommodates 200 guests, there's the Lodge. You still have a stage and dance floor. What makes this room a lot more intimate and romantic are its stained glass windows and a charming pipe organ. On the same level as the lodge are the Candidate Room and the Regency Room which can made as parlor or lounging area. Such rooms can also hold engagement parties or used to receive guests before the actual banquet if you are to follow the Chinese wedding tradition.
