A Lifesaver for Our Wedding -- Exceptional Service and Stunning Space! If I could give Carlos and Marigold more than five stars, I would. We were scheduled to have a small outdoor wedding ceremony at Mission Dolores Park, but when the San Francisco weather forecast turned "rough" just days before our April 1st date, we were in a total panic. I reached out to Carlos at the last minute, and the level of service we received was nothing short of extraordinary. Here is why you should book your next event here: Incredible Responsiveness: Carlos responded to my inquiry almost immediately and hopped on a call with me the same day to iron out the details. He made a high-stress situation feel completely manageable. Accommodating & Flexible: Even with our last-minute request, he was so generous with the timing. He allowed us to come in early at 2:00 PM to set up flowers and told us there was "no rush" to leave, letting our group stay and enjoy a drink before our dinner reservation. The Space is Stunning: We held our ceremony upstairs in a beautiful, dry, and welcoming space featuring a gorgeous mural. It was the perfect backdrop for our 10-person group--intimate, stylish, and full of character. Personal Touch: Carlos even provided his personal cell number for day-of coordination to ensure everything went smoothly. That level of care is rare. Carlos, thank you for your kindness and for helping us make our wedding ceremony so special. You lifted a huge weight off our shoulders, and we can't recommend Marigold enough! read more

I hosted my 40th birthday party at Marigold and it was a blast! From the beginning, Carlos made it planning my birthday a breeze. And then on the day of my party, Carlos, Pascal and Jose made sure that my birthday was ran smoothly! If you are looking to host an event in the city (great location - Church & Market), great venue for 50-100 people, and wonderful service...book your next party at Marigold! read more

The event space was absolutely beautiful and made the perfect setting for Marcus's funeral. Everything worked out seamlessly, and I truly appreciate the care, focus, and dedication that Jacobo Juarez put into ensuring the day was meaningful and successful. The venue had all the amenities we needed -- including a bar, screen projector, an area for the DJ, and plenty of tables and chairs -- which made it easy to accommodate our guests comfortably. read more

Marigold is truly such an incredibly beautiful space! My partner and I hosted our wedding reception here and Jacobo, Carlos and the entire staff were incredibly helpful, supportive, accommodating and had such great vibes the entire time! It was organized, very spacious for 50 people, and just so beautiful! I'm over the moon of how amazing it turned out, and we owe all of that to Marigold and their team! Thanks! (Also, the drinks are INCREDIBLE!) read more

I had my 50th birthday party and it was great! The venue was very easy to work with you, and the night was a total success. A+ for staff, drinks, and vibes, read more

We just had our intimate engagement party at this gorgeous gem in SF. I had a lovely experience working with Jacobo from beginning to end. He was professional, responsive, and fun to work with. I trusted him with decisions and suggestions as he really knew the "events world". The party itself was awesome! We brought in a few snacks, a walk around magician, a dj, guitarist, and a surprise opera singer while playing Peaky Blinders on the large projection screen in the background. We also showed our engagement video with ease, and that left no dry eyes in the room. They have in-house electric candles, coat rack w/ hangers, lounge furniture, a handheld mic, a few tables w/ linens, and personalized drink menus (they let me create my own fun names to their delicious and beautiful cocktails!). The staff onsite... amazing! Door Guy, Winston (great!), Barback, Sabino (great!), and Bartenders: Carlos and Miguel (AMAZING!). They were the best. They were kind, quick, talented, and super professional. They work downstairs at Churchill bar sometimes, so please visit them (we will!). They will make the tastiest and most Instagram-friendly cocktails :) Contact them for a site visit... you will fall in love with the space for sure! read more

We held a 75th birthday party at Marigold last weekend. This is a great space in a great location! It's above Churchill's at the corner of Church and 14th. Had around 60 guests. Everything went swimmingly and all the guests had a great time. Many of my friends complimented the space, which was perfect for us. Easy to use audio and video. Great food from the caterers. Great on-the-spot service from Carlos, who also ran the bar. They also included a special cocktail that a friend had "invented" for me! We dealt with Jacobo in the weeks leading up to it. He was super helpful and gave us some great suggestions, including the caterer, Hil's. Heartily recommend Marigold for such events. read more

This was the venue of choice for our 2022 Winter Social event and it didn't disappoint. Our party consisted of 23 people, catered food on site (from an outside vendor we found), bar service, and use of their projection and sound system to Zoom into our US office award event. We rented the venue from 1-5pm, arrived at noon to set up, and were out on time as there was another event booked for after us. Michelle of Marigold Event Space was extremely pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish, scheduling time to come by a week ahead to test the projector/sound system set up, moving the tables around to accommodate the camera view we wanted and her accessibility leading up to and on the day of the event. The drink selection and bartender were both amazing and the resounding feedback from our office is that it was one of our best office events to date. Highly recommend this venue for both company and private gatherings. Pros: Efficient and friendly Marigold Event Space team, great drinks, and comfortable space. Cons: Nothing comes to mind. read more

I had my 30th birthday party here and it was amazing to say the least! Michelle who led the event planning was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all my questions. The venue is perfect for small to medium size parties, I had about 50 people there. The space has a great vibe to it, and is super cute! You can bring in your own tables and things if needed but it was ideal as is for me. The bartenders and staff were awesome, they made some of the best drinks we've ever had! They were so nice and made the party feel even more special. I am so happy I choose Marigold for my party, I would recommend it to anyone and I will also use them again in the future. I would give more stars if I could! read more

This is an amazing location for a party! Jacobo answered many questions about the venue/drinks etc. He was great at communicating and also gave me a fantastic recommendation for a caterer - Hil's Cooking. The venue is really beautiful with a mural, and Jacobo had flowers on the tables for us. We used the projector to show photographs. Carlos, the barman, was great and made the best cocktails/mocktails. Beautiful venue. Thank you for making it special for my husband's birthday! We will be back! read more

We hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at the Marigold Event Space and Churchill Bar (rented both spaces) and it was a terrific experience. Jacobo was a pleasure to work with, both spaces already have lots of character (so while I decorated, I could have gotten away with not doing much at all), and everything is totally dialed in for a seamless experience (e.g., their audio, video, relationship with a fabulous caterer, Hil's). Definitely would host another event here, and recommend it without reservation. read more

We hosted my Husband's 70th birthday at Marigold. I wish I had known about this venue sooner! Jacobo and the staff were extremely accommodating and easy to work with. Jacobo was very responsive when I had questions and with follow-up. We had around 85 guests and everyone had a lovely time. Marigold is already tastefully decorated so you can just show up or add your own personal touches as you wish. We did bring in our own buffet catering and Marigold provided the tables and table cloths for us to use. The sound system and projection screen was plug and play. Very positive experience, highly recommend! read more

This is a top-notch location for an event and I highly recommend it! Right from the start, communication with Jacobo was timely and informative. I was given several options, and provided with information for adjunct resources in case I did not already have my own. No hard sell, and an opportunity to visit the location. It is very clean. Our event was made more special by the attentiveness of Jacobo and Carlos to our needs. Carlos was available to ensure set up was as we wanted, and all the guests indicated his drinks at the bar were on point! The ambiance was welcoming and the venue comfortably allowed for mingling, the vibe we were seeking. Very sincere thanks to Jacobo for saving the day after a BIG catering miss. read more

My company hosted our annual gala here at Marigold and we had a fantastic time! The hosts were wonderful and kind, the drinks were excellent, and the amenities were clean and accessible. The space is very well decorated and also quite affordable. We had approx 110 guests and the space accommodated them easily. Could not recommend this location more. read more

Michelle and the entire team at Marigold were AMAZING! I hosted my 30th birthday here last year, and I could not have picked a better venue to host it. Some highlights of the space: - We were able to create a custom cocktail program for the event, printed beautifully on menus, and all of the drinks were delicious (even the non-alcoholic option, which may have been the best one!) - Completely private and customizable, with the A/V setup I needed to pull together the event - A bouncer! and you can even determine the secret phrase guests need to use at the door to be admitted - Open bar!! at a very reasonable price - A dedicated venue manager, Michelle, who was INCREDIBLE Even from before the event, Michelle was so friendly and supportive, and helped connect me to a variety of potential vendors. I had a very out of the box vision I was trying to pull together for this party, and Michelle was so supportive and enabling every step of the way to help bring this crazy vision to life. She was a huge help during the day of the event, helping to coordinate various moving pieces, from the DJ, to a brass band I hired, to various programmatic elements. After the event was over (I was a little intoxicated), she was so patient with me in terms of picking up items I left at the venue. Marigold was exactly what I needed for my event (and I went through no shortage of venue options during the planning process). I could not have picked a better venue. Highly recommend! read more

I was looking for a place to celebrate my 30th birthday and after looking at a couple places, I decided to go with Marigold. I had a blast celebrating with my friends & family, and Michelle Vilardi (the event manager) was an absolute joy to work with. From planning all the way to execution, everything went so smooth. Michelle was able to provide the full details around what I needed to know in advance, she was easy to communicate with, and made sure we had everything we needed on the day of. If you're thinking of hosting an event, I highly recommend Marigold. The look and feel of the place was exactly what I was looking for and overall, just an amazing place to celebrate my 30th. I look forward to coming here again in the future! read more

Marigold Event Space - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Francisco, California

I don't think this event space is well known so I wanted to leave a review to let others know about it. Recently my daughter and I hosted a Celebration of Life there. We had two choices of the upstairs or downstairs. Both were great spaces but we opted for downstairs due to its larger seating area. The manager Jacobo was extremely accommodating and attentive to our needs. He recommended a caterer and a florist and both were great. They have a mic for speeches and TV's for photos or whatever you need. We had the whole bar to ourselves. They provided a bartender and outside security. Prices were reasonable. It's on Church and Market so very easy for people coming from the east bay or other parts of SF. I can't praise it enough! read more

We rented out both the Marigold and the Churchill for a large party and it was excellent! Jacobo was the point of contact for the event and he was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all questions. He even helped us get our special QR Code printed on their menu so our guests could share pictures they took from the event! Jacobo and team coordinated with our catering vendor (Hil's cooking who was equally awesome) and offered to coordinate with our DJ too which took the pressure off having to give instructions to everyone! The venue is perfect for any size party. We ended up having around 120-130ish people and it was more than enough space across both the marigold and the Churchill. We had the event during the holiday season and the space had AMAZING holiday decorations / lights had a very fun and upbeat vibe to it! The bartenders (especially Carlos) were awesome! All of our guests were raving about the drinks they made as well as how chill and cool everyone bartending was. Definitely would recommend it to anyone and we plan to host future parties there when they come up! read more

I had my wedding reception at Marigold and it was exactly what I envisioned. Michelle was great to work with. It was so smooth, almost hard to believe how easy things were. We had our ceremony at home and headed over to Marigold after. We had a DJ with dancing and open bar for about 90 people. The cocktails. They were SO good! If you go to the downstairs to Churchill you can try them out. We had food delivered from some of our favorite places - El Sur empanadas, Super Duper, Anthony's cookies. I loved having food that we knew and liked. Definitely recommend hosting an event here! read more

I never write reviews but I definitely felt like this place was worth mentioning. I came in for lunch on a Thursday. I was greeted right away and given my choice of table. The chairs are extremely comfortable. Service was fantastic, the ... More read more

This venue is amazing! If you are hosting a party, choose Marigold Event Space at Churchill Bar!!! Jacobo Juarez is a true professional with years of experience in nightlife entertainment. He assisted me in planning the best holiday party that my company has ever had. The venue was already tastefully decorated but they went above and beyond with the holiday decorations. They have numerous local vendor recommendations to help make your event special. The bar staff and security staff were exceptionally accommodating with all our needs and requests. My favorite detail was the specialty cocktail menu designed just for our party. I can't say enough good things about Jacobo and Marigolds! Thank you so much!!! read more

We had our company holiday party here and it far exceeded our expectations! The service and staff were amazing, not to mention the food. We partnered with their recommended catering company (Hil's Catering) and it was amazing. Highly recommended the sushi platters. Often times when you cater sushi, it's meh but this was fantastic! So fresh! We also asked to extend our party for another hour and they easily accommodated this. It was a very last minute request and they were so great about it. Security was also secure, they made sure anyone who wasn't part of our party did not get in which was nice to have :) Overall, FANTASTIC place to have your holiday party/event/birthday party, etc. We will definitely be back! The Christmas decorations were AMAZING! Everything was decked out from christmas trees, wrapping paper on the walls, christmas lights, the works! It felt like a christmas wonderland :) read more

We looked into renting out space for our wedding reception. We were interested in a Friday night or Saturday daytime event, and ended up renting out the main bar on Saturday from 2-6pm. We thought the cost was very reasonable, given the size of the event and the number of attendees. Overall, everything went extremely well. The event coordinator worked with us to have a selection of cocktails specific to our group, and provided options for catering (we ended up using the service they ordinarily work with, and that was just fine). During the event, the bar staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating -- everything felt very personal to our group, and they took excellent care of us, both making drinks and engaging people with conversation. We are fairly relaxed, but I would highly recommend Marigold / Churchhill if you are looking for an event space. read more

For my sorority formal, we rented out Marigold and Churchill and it was a blast! Jacobo, Carlos, and their team were amazing to work with and made the night so awesome! They provided a custom beverage menu with our sorority name on it, and the drinks were DELICIOUS! All of the staff was so kind and helpful which made the night very special! We also were able to come up with a secret password to make sure only our guests entered which was so fun and unique! My guests especially loved the photo booth (when the photo strips printed out they said the name of our sorority on them which was so cute!) and pool table! Jacobo also helped us by booking a DJ who was perfect for the occasion! Overall, we had such a great time and we will be recommending Churchill and Marigold to anyone we know, who needs an event space! read more

I had my graduate school graduation here after two friends had done the same in previous months. The Marigold worked out perfectly for our needs: plenty of space for the 60 people who showed up (and space for more). Working with Jacobo to plan the event was a breeze. Carlos the bartender makes great drinks. Definitely would recommend this space for an event. read more

Service and venue from owner/bartender were great for Vlad's party a few weeks back !

I had my 1 year anniversary party for my company on September 8th, 2023. It was a huge milestone and I couldn't be happier to have it at Marigold. Michelle was super helpful throughout the process. The space was the perfect size for my 80 person guest list. We had a private caterer and he was able to move food from the kitchen to the buffet easily. I think my guests might have liked an extra bartender, but he still did a great job! Thank you to the folks at Marigold Event Space who made my event great! read more

Such a great experience!!! We hosted our work Holiday party and rented out both Marigold and Churchill for the event. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with- she was helpful every step of the way, very responsive, set us up with a caterer, did a walk through of the space with me before hand so we could determine how we wanted to get things set up and she just made my life so much easier through the whole process. The bartenders and cocktails were delicious! We were able to connect to the music and shuffle holiday playlists. Everyone enjoyed playing pool and shuffle board. My company only had the best things to say about the night and I would 10/10 recommend this place for your next event! read more

We had a celebration of life event at Marigold for my mother, who recently passed away. The location was perfect - very centrally located in the city. The room itself is great for a small private party - lots of space with big windows all around so you don't feel like you're in a cave. The room has a warm, welcoming feeling unlike hotel spaces which can be a bit cold. There was more than enough room for the 35 people at our event, and the room acoustics were great. We didn't have to shout to hear each other. Our Marigold event manager was Michelle Vilardi, who was extremely responsive and accommodated our every need. Overall, it was a beautiful event that went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend this space for private events. read more

Had a great birthday party there - The team was friendly and super easy to work with, the space was perfect and the location is awesome. Oh and the drinks were delicious, thank you! read more

Jacobo and Carlos helped me plan an open bar party for my wedding last weekend. They were so communicative, organized, and easy to work with. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all the guests were comfortable and served! Impressive list of cocktails and open bar. Our event was scheduled for 80 people and I think around 60-65 showed up and there was plenty of space to mingle and hang out comfortably. Overall, they are amazing and I would highly recommend using Marigold event space for any group needs! read more

Truly a top notch operation; very impressed. Jacobo is a model example of who you want to work with while planning an event. He is very responsive, flexible, and a wealth of knowledge to help plan your event, including tons of recommendations for 3rd party vendors such as DJs, photo booths, florists, photographers, caterers. The Office is a great open space for parties and events up to 100 people. We had the option of a hosted bar with a minimum tab, or an open bar for the whole night. The open bar is the way to go and a good deal considering how much regular drinks are at normal bars, not to mention how much other venues charge for the same service. Plus The Office has a true full bar (liquor, wine, beer, champagne, mixers), plus you can request or bring others if you really want something specific. Some other highlights included: We had the choice of creating a customized drink menu that was tailored to our wedding reception and personalized to our liking; The doorman/security could use a provided guest list or you provide a secret password for entry; shuffle board for some fun; and a banging sound system with a projector screen if you so choose. You'd be hard pressed to find a similar place that provides so many options and is willing to accommodate your needs, while not nickel and dimeing you for all your money. read more

I wanted to throw a birthday party and my friend recommended this place. She held her wedding reception here (back when it was called The Office) in 2017 and I'm so glad I chose this place as a venue. I worked with Jacobo to plan the event and he was always prompt, reliable, and professional. He was knowledgeable about local caterers and other retailers I might have been interested in (re: photobooths). I can be stressed when it comes to event planning, but the whole vibe was easy-going and reassuring, which made it stress-free. The night of the party was awesome and ran incredibly smooth. The staff was fully vaccinated and Jacobo ran the bar, the audio and mic systems, and the lighting throughout the night. Setup beforehand and cleanup was a breeze and there were no surprises with the bill. Before choosing a place, I emailed a bunch of other venues in SF/Oakland. I have to say Marigold was the only venue that replied in a timely manner, had transparent rundowns of pricing and rates that were easy to understand, and a bunch of photos so I could clearly imagine the space. Definitely would recommend this place for your next event! read more

We hosted our wedding reception at The Office. It's a terrific space, perfect for our size party (50 people with plenty of room for more). We had a DJ and catering table too, and several tables for people to hang out. Jacobo and the team really made the event awesome. He was super responsive and attentive in the months leading up our party, answering all of our questions and providing so much helpful detail. The night of, his team was super helpful --- they helped us get the space setup, engaged guests throughout the evening, made awesome drinks and made sure the space stayed clean. We even had guests come up and tell us how impressed they were with the team and the event overall. Highly recommend this place for any kind of event. We liked it so much that my husbands throwing his holiday party there later this year! read more

Highly recommend! We hosted a pre-wedding bar night at Marigold and everything was so fantastic. The space is lovely and the staff are incredible. Michelle was super easy to work with and made the whole experience stress-free. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Marigold Event Space was fabulous. I came across it on a yelp search and it was perfect. We threw a 50th birthday party with less than 2 weeks to set up. Michelle and Carlos did a great job facilitating our event. Carlos was a great bartender and bar manager. Everyone commented on how great the service was. The space itself was decorated with Christmas theme and looked so cute. We added our personal touches for the birthday party and just had fun. Very nice venue. Definitely would recommend hosting a party here. read more

Held a joint bday party here, and Jacabo and Carlos were great to work with! Had a very successful bday celebration here - great space, great staff - great all around. read more

Highly recommend renting this venue for a party! We had our welcome party for our wedding here for 65 guests and everyone had a great time. The drinks are delicious and well-made (we also got to customize the menu!), and the atmosphere is great. We were able to set up our laptop to play a slideshow and play our own music. We also brought our own catering! Jacobo is so pleasant and wonderful to work with. read more

We hosted our small wedding reception at Marigold on Dec 17, 2022. We reached out to several venues and received a detailed response from Marigold. Michelle made it everything easy. She was great to work with and helped out in planning the space. She responded quickly to my inquiries and gave excellent referrals. The day of the event went smoothly, the bartender was awesome, the doorman was nice, the space was set up well and everyone had a great time. We hosted about 50 people and there was a good amount of space for people to hang out and mingle. Overall, highly recommend this place to host your events. read more

From start to finish, we had such a wonderful experience at the Marigold. We rented the downstairs bar because it was a little bigger than the space upstairs. Jacobo made it easy! We had roughly 80 people and the room held that amount of people well. The bartenders sure had to work hard to service everyone but never slowed things down. We had a lot of tech needs and Gilbert was a pro - helped me navigate music, photos, etc. to make sure the night had the extra special touches. Highly recommend! read more
