A Spring City Hall Micro Wedding in San Francisco

Kimberly & SteveMarch 2025San Francisco City Hall · San Francisco

Kimberly and Steve chose a spring city hall micro wedding in San Francisco, a March 2025 morning that opened at City Hall and carried down to the water for dinner. They married up in one of the building's light-filled galleries, under the coffered dome, and let the marble and the tall arched windows do most of the decorating for them.

It was a small, close group — a handful of family and their nearest friends, no big wedding party to wrangle. The morning was for getting ready. The vows came in the afternoon, in the pale spring light that pours through those enormous windows. And by evening the whole group had made its way out to Pier 39 for a long dinner over the bay, boats and open water past the glass.

Afternoon

A Spring City Hall Ceremony Under the Dome

They married up in one of City Hall's grand galleries, on the marble beneath the coffered dome, an enormous arched half-round window pouring light in behind them and a pair of sculpted stone urns flanking the aisle. Rev. Samuel Fullerton, grey-bearded and warm, stood between them to lead the vows. A violinist played off to the side, the sound carrying up through all that stone. Their people filled a few short rows of wooden folding chairs — a bridesmaid in dusty blue holding a white bouquet, family in red and green and cobalt, more than one phone up to catch it.

Steve waited at the front, and Kimberly came up the aisle on her father's arm, the two of them exchanging a look before he stepped back. She read her vows from a folded page, the beaded back of her gown and a dreamcatcher tattoo across one shoulder catching the light. When it was done they kissed under the arch, the whole small room on its feet and clapping.
