About The Pearl
The Pearl occupies a historic San Francisco waterfront estate with sweeping views of the bay and city skyline.
Soaring timber ceilings and exposed brick walls frame floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the 8,000-square-foot space with natural light.
The estate's industrial-chic architecture and authentic period details create a sophisticated canvas for ceremonies and receptions alike.
