Summary

Vintage details find themselves at home inside the historic walls of 1 Fort Mason. The building was originally constructed in 1877 and embodies a Victorian feel from head to toe. The architectural elements both inside and out are true to their nineteenth century roots and give an amazing foundation for throwing an exquisite vintage-style gala. This exquisite celebration was captured by the ever talented Jessamyn Harris and does an incredible job of showcasing the versatility of this historic wedding venue.

The ceremony setting immediately captures your attention with its extraordinary views, charming lawn and surrounding foliage. White wood folding chairs are an excellent match for the rustic garden backdrop. The striking contrast between the soft green hues within the garden will make the white chairs come to life. You can always count on a nice bay breeze, so consider complementing your chairs with ribbons or loose-falling flowers that will dance in the wind.

Once you have officially tied the knot, bring your guests into the main building to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Your guests will be stunned by the incredible panoramic, never-ending view from the bar. The bar itself will remind you of a period speakeasy, and the room surrounding it has a remarkable crescent-shaped wall of floor to ceiling windows which allows guests to keep watchful eyes on the gorgeous San Francisco waterfront.
