Description

Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum‘s exceptional architecture, natural landscapes, and beautiful venues will ensure an inspirational wedding experience. Have your ceremony outdoors amid the lush landscapes and intrigue of the Barbro Osher Sculpture Garden. Follow with a cocktail hour at the Hamon Observation Tower, which boasts breathtaking panoramas of the city, Pacific Ocean, Marin Headlands, and Golden Gate Park.
