About Us

One of the most majestic venues on the West Coast, the Bently Reserve is an unforgettable location for your wedding. Built during the Roaring 20s, the Bently Reserve is a world-class events venue. This historic landmark dramatizes the spirit and style of contemporary San Francisco.
 
The Bently Reserve offers an array of options for both the wedding ceremony and reception. The Banking Hall comes with a variety of spaces, including a couples’ lounge that provides a private and serene escape. You'll enjoy the use of two picture-perfect, light-flooded entryways, two green rooms, an outdoor balcony, and mezzanine level--perfect places for a cocktail hour or a gathering point to set the evening’s ambiance.
 
We\'re located in downtown San Francisco, close to shopping, dining, hotels, and much more. Our building is directly connected to the Le Meridien Hotel via a walkway, and special discount rates are extended to our clients at several choice hotels nearby.
