San Francisco City Hall, known as the "People's Palace," is a National Historic Landmark and the seat of government for the City and County of San Francisco. Beyond its governmental functions, City Hall offers comprehensive public services including marriage licenses, civil ceremonies, vital records, and the recorder's office. The building features iconic event spaces available for private rentals—from intimate civil ceremonies (6 guests) to grand evening weddings (up to 2,000 guests) on the Mayor's Balcony, Fourth Floor Gallery, or the stunning Rotunda with its Grand Staircase. Built in 1913-1915 as a symbol of San Francisco's resilience after the 1906 earthquake, the 307-foot dome and white marble interiors make it a distinctive and historically significant venue. City Hall also offers public tours and serves as a popular location for corporate events, rallies, and press conferences.
