A City Hall Ceremony and an Industrial-Garden Reception in SoMa
Angelica & ForrestApril 2026The Vault Garden (Alcove) · San Francisco
Angelica and Forrest's garden-venue wedding at The Vault Garden, SF was thirty guests across a single spring day in April 2026, a morning ceremony under the City Hall rotunda, then a seated lunch in the SoMa garden that closed the celebration out. They kept the whole thing simple and black-and-white, down to the skyline name cards on the tables.
Hair and makeup at the hotel, a first look inside City Hall, vows on the marble, then a cable car stop for photographs before everyone crossed town to the garden for lunch, toasts, and cake.

Morning
Getting Ready Downtown
Angelica sat for hair and makeup at the hotel while the room filled up around her, the look kept plain and black-and-white the way she'd wanted it from the start, no palette, no fuss. Her flowers were lily of the valley, small and white.
The two of them got ready apart and saved the first look for City Hall, where the photographer and coordinator picked the spot on the day.
Late morning
Vows Under the City Hall Rotunda
The ceremony was inside San Francisco City Hall, with a live string player seated to one side. The processional went in order: the officiant took the front, then Forrest, then Angelica's mother, Michelle, and her brother, EJ, then her two maids of honor, and finally Angelica on her father's arm, the last of them, walking in to a Beyoncé track she'd chosen for exactly that entrance.
The front row was held for the six of them who'd walked. The garden-venue wedding at The Vault Garden was still hours off, for now it was thirty people under the dome, the marble carrying the sound of it.
