The Pearl in CA 94107, open May–August.
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.
As a planner, The Pearl is a dream venue. Its versatile layout allows for endless design possibilities, and the rooftop is truly a gem—an open-air escape in the heart of San Francisco. Carrie and the entire team are collaborative, responsive, and a joy to work with. Our clients were thrilled with their wedding experience here, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in bringing their vision to life! Photos by Zoe Larkin.
