We have numerous spaces available to host your event:
Built in 1894, St. Mark's church building is an official, historic landmark of San Francisco. The church was renovated and rededicated in 2006, with many of the original details and finishes restored. With its beautiful stained glass windows, refinished interior, and grand Taylor & Boody pipe organ, the Sanctuary makes a lasting impression.
The main floor seats 339, the Balcony seats 103. Total capacity = 442.
There are 13 pews on each side of the Nave. The center aisle is approximately 60 feet long.
Heritage Hall is a gracious, carpeted hall with sash windows and period details. It can comfortably seat 65 people for a sit-down reception, or 75-90 for something less formal. (Please note that these numbers may be adjusted as we return to a more normal capacity in Heritage Hall due to the pandemic.) Beer, wine, and champagne are permitted. There is a fully-equipped kitchen for use by your caterer
The Auditorium is suitable for larger receptions. A highly flexible space, it can accommodate sit-down receptions for up to 180 people, or cake/beverage receptions for up to 300. There is space for a dance floor, stage and bar (beer, wine and champagne permitted). A prep kitchen is available.
St. Mark’s Square, located adjacent to the church building, is an expansive outdoor space with views of surrounding Cathedral Hill, the red-brick façade of St. Mark’s, bench seating and landscaping. Perfect for casual receptions and gatherings featuring picnic, barbecue or food truck fare, “The Square” is a distinctive venue.
