Exploring the Spanish Elegance of the Officers' Club

Written by Wedgewood Weddings & Events | Jan 6, 2022 1:27:00 AM

Deep in the heart of historic San Francisco is the extraordinary adobe-style Officers' Club at the Presidio that boasts century-old Spanish features of wrought iron, artistic tiles, and dark wood accents. This elegant yet cozy structure accommodates weddings, holiday gatherings, Quinceanera's, and countless other extravagant events. From the Moraga Hall to the Hardie Courtyard, we invite you to explore the stunning architecture throughout the entire property. And did we mention that the terrace overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge? This place is truly a one-of-a-kind location in Presidio Park.

 

Presidio Park is a National Historic Landmark that holds some of the best views in San Francisco Bay—sitting on 1,500 acres of rolling greens, forest, and historic structures. One of the buildings on this park surrounded by endangered plants and wildlife is the award-winning Officers' Club.

 

"We instantly fell in love with the beautiful historic venues with stunning views and knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding."

ORTEGA BALLROOM

The Officers' Club's Ortega Ballroom is known as the 'Penthouse Suite' of the Presidio. Located on the second floor, with amazing views of the San Francisco Bay and the heart of the historic Presidio Park, this room is filled with natural light. There are steel beams and modern light fixtures on the vaulted ceilings, along with indoor bistro lighting. With direct access to the outdoor terrace overlooking the Presidio, the ballroom provides excellent indoor-outdoor flow.

CHAPEL OF OUR LADY

When planning a wedding, the Officers' Club is booked in tandem with the grand Chapel of Our Lady in Presidio Park—boasting a solid history serving as a place of the congregation since 1864. With dramatic exposed beams and massive vaulted ceilings, the chapel can comfortably hold 200 guests. Throughout, windows are colorful and vibrant, allowing for a light and bright space. There is an entire glass wall that frames a panorama of the natural Presidio Park landscaping.

The whole wedding was seamless and zero stress, thanks to the Chapel of Our Lady Team."
