Spring Sensations: A Bay Area Event Space for Any Occasion

The holidays are over and winter seems never-ending, and perhaps you’re not thinking much about finding the best event spaces for your next special occasion. The reality, though, is that spring will be here before you know and a new season of celebrations is fast approaching.

From graduations to weddings to class reunions to Mother’s Day, the spring months are a time of joy and renewal. They’re also a time to get together to celebrate, and celebrate with, the people you love the most.

So whether you’re looking for an intimate venue or your seeking an idyllic event space for your wedding reception, anniversary, or graduation or reunion party, the San Francisco Bay Area has something to suit every need.

And for those who are looking for state-of-the-art amenities combined with vintage style, there’s no place better than The Box SF.

A Rental Space For Every Occasion

No matter whether you’re planning a corporate offsite, an elegant wedding reception, or a sweet family party to celebrate Mum on Mother's Day, The Box SF has something for you.

Situated across three storeys (plus an underground speakeasy!). The Box SF offers customizable spaces capable of accommodating as many as 80 guests. Each of our six rental spaces is fully equipped with the latest technology, from pull-down projector screens to wi-fi access. And each can be furnished and configured to your exact needs and specifications.

We also offer in-house catering services. And if you prefer to hire an outside catering service, we are happy to provide an extensive list of approved caterers specializing in most every type of cuisine. That means that there’s sure to be something to please every palate.

An Event Space Like No Other

As impressive as The Box SF’s wide range of rental spaces and vast inventory of services may be, that’s not really what sets The Box SF apart. No, what makes The Box SF truly unique among the Bay Area’s many event spaces is the location itself. 

The Box SF is located in one of San Francisco’s most historic and iconic buildings. Built in 1906, the building first served as the home of William Randolf Hearst’s original printing plant. In 2018, the space was lovingly restored to its original grandeur, with enormous pains taken to preserve the site’s vintage character. The result is one of the Bay Area’s most popular, and most distinctive, event spaces.

Consider, for example, our famed Gate Room, which features a 337 year old dining table made from the gate doors of an ancient Chinese village. The space is perfect for large gatherings, from wedding receptions to graduation banquets to anniversary parties.

And then there’s the Sipping Room, an authentic underground speakeasy featuring a fully stocked wine cellar and bar package and catering options. The Sipping Room accommodates up to eight guests at a time and is available as an add-on option for those renting one of the upper floor event spaces.

Planning an Event in the Bay Area

Winter isn’t the only season for celebrating. With the approach of spring come all new reasons to rejoice with the ones you love. From high school and college graduations to family reunions to weddings, there’s perhaps no better time than spring to gather and celebrate new beginnings and old friends.

Indeed, there are few cities more beautiful than San Francisco for the fairytale wedding you’ve or corporate event you’ve been dreaming of.

And The Box SF offers even more than just a historic location in the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities. It also provides you with the rare and wonderful opportunity to give your guests an experience that they will never forget. Because the allure of The Box SF doesn’t end with its meticulously restored rooms. The Box SF also features attractions that will make the hearts of every history buff, book lover, or classics connoisseur sing.

 For instance, The Box SF features one of the world’s largest collections of rare books and documents, print ephemera, and antique letterpresses. And if you’re fetting a graduate, especially one with a newly-minted degree in journalism, English, or media, there’s perhaps no more appropriate locale than at the original print works of America’s first modern media mogul.

In addition to The Press Room, The Box SF also features an authentic working replica of a 19th century mercantile. The Mercantile and Press Rooms are frequently booked both for photo and film shoots. If your fiance, spouse, or graduate has a taste for nostalgia or a love of the written word, The Mercantile and Press Room will be ideal backdrop for your engagement, wedding, or graduation photos and videos.
