Black Tie Elegance in the City

There are so many dreamy things to love about Flood Mansion, we can’t choose just one… or two. European influences and impressive interiors make this iconic venue perfection for the couple who want a wow factor.

From Here Comes the Guide:

“The Flood Mansion is a symphony of classical styles—Italian Renaissance, Rococo, Tudor and Georgian. This elegant building, constructed in 1915, has remained well preserved since Mrs. Flood donated her home to the Religious of the Sacred Heart in 1939. Although the building is now used as a private school, it’s available for special events after school hours and on weekends.

The Mansion is impressive: Its Grand Hall is 140 feet long with marble floors and great views of the bay; the Adam Room, near the entry, has a high, ornate ceiling, specially designed wood tables and chairs, and a marble fireplace; the architecturally complex Reception Room boasts a magnificent coffered ceiling, painted murals in golds, blues and greens, and a parquet floor. And, weather permitting, a pretty enclosed courtyard off of the Grand Hall is available for outdoor gatherings. The Flood Mansion is definitely the place for a stately and elegant party.”

Why We Love It:

• Location, baby – it’s right smack in the middle of all the San Francisco hubub. Finding any kind of niche vendor is a breeze, there are amazing buildings (with equally amazing architecture) all around, and so many hotels your guests will have their pick of the best. If you’re planning a weekend of fun, or planning to have a bachelor/ette party before your big day, you couldn’t ask for more varied entertainment.

• Old World Glamour – There’s a distinctly European feel to this venue, what with all the wainscoting, gilded details, corinthian columns, marble sculpted art, and sparkling chandeliers that fill the space. What else would you expect in the home of an early 1900s silver baron?

• Oh So Much Space – Just in case you need it, this glam venue can hold up to 300 guests in one of its two largest spaces. Having a smaller wedding? Don’t worry, there are many gorgeous options for any size bash.
