The Presidio’s Golden Gate Club,which once functioned as the Non-Commissioned Officers club—is no exception. With its red tiled roof, white stucco walls and arcaded courtyard, it’s the very picture of rich, Spanish-inspired design. In this well-preserved 1941s-era club,and the sense of history and period details add real pizzazz to each celebration. And it  was the reception site for Courtney & Todds wedding party.

The Presidio’s Golden Gate Club is nestled in towering cypress trees typical of the Presidio overing the beauitful Goldern Gate bidge The Club’s white and red exterior pops in sharp contrast to the deep greens that surround it. As you approach, the wide-open courtyard of the U-shaped building reveals numerous palm trees and a fancy, tropical tile-and-grass patio. This area can accommodate stand-up cocktail receptions beautifully: Box hedges adorned with twinkle lights divide up the space and make it private, while cocktail tables covered in bright linens lend a formal touch.

When the mingling and champagne sipping have concluded, Counrtney & Todds  guests then drift past large white columns and through double-glass doors into the stately Ventana Room for dinner and dancing. This is undoubtedly the property’s most dazzling asset. A two-story wall of windows overlooks a grove of trees, and the bay shimmers in the distance. When you dress up this space for dinner and dancing, that incredible view remains the focal point. Here, you’ll also find a cathedral ceiling, a sizable wood dance floor, and a huge fireplace at one end of the long ballroom. As you look around and realize that you’re inside an elegant ballroom and intensely close to nature, you feel an overwhelming sense of serenity.

If you want to split up the party or you need more room, two other ballrooms—the Hawthorn and Cypress rooms—offer quiet, versatile areas for children to play, older guests to relax, or for dessert and espresso bars. Up on the second floor, there are three breakout rooms for additional space and a small mezzanine that overlooks the Ventana Room.


Although it may be hard to imagine soldiers once partying in such an elegant place, it’s quite easy to picture  why Counrtney & Tood pick this place .  We hope you like the Photos Please let us know
