Jaliya V. Sent on 09/27/2021Westin St. Francis - Borgia and Mission Bay Room
Prior to booking the Westin St. Francis, my partner and I searched literally all of the Bay Area to have version 2 of our wedding (version 1 was in 2020, yikes). Immediately, we were drawn to the romanticism of this location. We viewed 2-3 different rooms we could hold our 60 headcount wedding. We loved every room, but what really helped us make our decision was the Mission Bay Room on the 32nd floor of the Tower building. The view of Union Square below and the airiness of this room (floor to ceiling glass windows) literally took our breaths away. In addition to this, Jenevieve Beaulieu, the Event Manager at the Westin made further solidified our decision. Besides the amazing wedding package the Westin offers, Jenevieve was the hidden gem here. She was there for us from day 1 and took her time to answer every single question we threw at her (there were A LOT of questions). She has a certain demeanor that is very hard to find in a Event Manager. Sometimes it feels as though Event Managers can be somewhat jaded to weddings because they deal with them every week, but not Jenevieve. She really gave us the care we needed and wanted. She wore a moon necklace for us as it was mentioned in our vows and she even cried during the ceremony! What a special moment to share with someone that has been along this journey with us since the start of version 2. We cannot thank her and the staff at the Westin for all they have given us.The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square's reply:
The two of you are simply wonderful! I am grateful you continued your search until you found the venue that felt right for you. I wish you both ALL of the joy and happiness in your future marriage with many wonderful memories to be made.
Love,
Jenevieve -

Victtor Sent on 01/04/2018Selma and the entire Westin St Francis team were absolutely fabulous and helped us create the most beautiful wedding for our son and new daughter-in-law! Every guest at the wedding and reception remarked on the impeccable detail and the fact that it was the best wedding and reception every witnessed. From start to finish Selma was very accommodating, answering every question and providing us with experienced and honest direction. She listened carefully to our vision for the day, and recommended lighting, music and floral vendors who hit the mark with making the vision a reality. Those of you contemplating a wedding, you will be in excellent, caring hands with Selma!

G Sent on 02/05/2016The best decision we ever made was to choose the Westin St. Francis for our ceremony and reception. Lauren Schardt, the St. Francis’s wedding specialist is the reason why we ultimately chose to have our wedding at the St. Francis.
Lauren was responsive to all our questions in a timely manner (believe me, we had a lot of questions), knew the details of our wedding, maybe even better than we did, and was very patient and accommodating. Our wedding went flawlessly because of Lauren.
We looked at a few venues and met with several wedding specialists, but Lauren stood out as being very knowledgeable, and organized. She genuinely listened to what we had to say and really tried to understand what we wanted out of our wedding. From choosing linen colors, to choosing vendors, and deciding which rooms were best, Lauren was with us every step of the way, and gave insightful advice without ever seeming pushy or condescending.
The huge elephant in the room when it comes to weddings is cost, and Lauren was upfront about prices. We never felt that there were any hidden fees, or anything tacked on to our final bill - Lauren made sure that things were transparent. The packages that the Westin St. Francis offers are fantastic and really are worth every cent.
We could go on and on about how amazing Lauren Schardt is, but an instance that stood out in particular: we were hosting a traditional tea ceremony the afternoon of the wedding and Lauren helped coordinate details of the tea ceremony, even though it was not part of her responsibilities in the contract. She helped us secure the Windsor Suite, which was the perfect place to host the tea ceremony. Lauren truly went above what was expected of her.
The delicious food, the drinks, the friendly staff, and just how gorgeous the Westin St. Francis is as a whole (and how wonderful Lauren is), should sway any couple that wants to get married in San Francisco to pick the Westin St. Francis. -
User2181378 Sent on 06/15/2015This was the perfect venue for our wedding. They provided a wonderful room for the ceremony and then we rented the top floor of the hotel that has floor to ceiling windows on the 32nd floor for our cocktail hour and reception. We had so many guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had ever been too, and it was definitely the best weekend of our lives. In addition, the wedding coordinator there, Lauren Schardt, is an amazing individual who will do anything to make your special day truly special. She is efficient, organized, and extremely flexible. She is seriously everything you want in a hotel wedding coordinator. I'm obsessed with her. This venue is beautiful, elegant, and has that wow factor to really make your guests impressed. -
User2269712 Sent on 08/13/2015My bridal shower was in San Francisco and I have to say my stay here was nothing short from amazing!
The hotel is huge! A beautiful historic building. Nice and happy people as well. It really is in the PERFECT LOCATION! In the city however you have that great park across the street. This place is a GEM! I cannot remember the gentlemen at front desk for the life of me however he upgraded us to the top floor and gave us a view of the park, unbelievable. The room was vintage and charming. I loved the older restrooms and marble floors, the closets are big and the bedding is marvelous. Great stay! -
User1846031 Sent on 10/05/2014I fell in love with the Alexander's & Victor's place the first time me and my husband saw it. Not only Westin has one of the best views of the city, the package includes a great wedding coordinator. Lauren Schardt was very helpful and very organized. -
User1811047 Sent on 09/15/2014Just all good things to say. The space up on the 32nd floor is unparalleled. Plus, Lauren is a rockstar - so easy to work with, professional, responsive, organized, and kind. She went above and beyond and our night flowed totally seamlessly. You work so much with the main coordinator at your venue, and I cannot imagine anyone is better than Lauren. She made the event stress-free.
Food was delicious, service great, hotel fantastic - just all good things to say.
Our wedding was absolutely amazing here. -

Abigail Sent on 11/08/2012My wife and I researched a few places in San Francisco and we always came back to Westin St. Francis as the place to measure as a standard. The Westin always edged out the competition not only for the specifics of the venue, but also for the service via their wedding manager Robin Lewis. She treats you like someone who genuinely cares about every detail about your day. She will ask you many questions which helps because there are so many thing easily passed over. All of my family members came out to California from Pennsylvania and Robin made sure they felt welcomed, especially concerning my parents. She sent a welcoming plate to them upon arrival and they were suprised and appreciative. Robin went the extra mile to make sure my parents were taken care of both during their stay and during the reception. As for the details - we outsourced many of our vendors and Robin coordinated their efforts so everything flowed smoothly. She asks many questions of you and what your vendors are doing so everything runs smoothly. Basically Robin will think of many things that you already felt you had covered 100%. The tasting is very professional and very personable. Robin will sit with you and ask what you like and/or dislike about the tasting. She in very discerning about the food and wines and will make winning suggestions about anything you are unsure of. The chef is also welcoming for the mere fact that he comes out and introduces himself and lets you know he will oblige any changes you wish to make to adjust to the delicious menu items. Again this is where Robin's expertise and suggestions become a relief. Now, to get to the actual venue - there is no better view for a reception than the Westin. You have a semi-panoramic view of San Francisco. You will be on the 32nd floor of the Westin Tower and it is fantasic to just relax for a moment to look out of the extended bay windows and just take in the moment. Great pics.
