The Academy SF — Local services in San Francisco

My sister hosted her wedding ceremony and reception at the Academy. It is such a beautiful space. The color schemes, decor, and overall ambiance is just luxurious.

We used the outdoor area for the ceremony and the upstairs area for the reception both of which were reasonably priced for what we got!

We worked with Nate on the booking process and he was great from start to finish. I originally came in with my partner to take a tour and loved the space so much, I called my sister on FaceTime so she could see it too. After, Nate offered to let my sister and me come to the club for a drink so that she could see the club in person before making the decision to book. She loved it, and from there Nate provided us with an estimate and answered all of the questions we had promptly. Nate also reached out to us the week of the wedding to offer us a chance to see a new space they had just in case it rained, which was very thoughtful. He also let us drop the cake off for storage the day before!

On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. The staff checked the guests in, and they had a coat check available which was so convenient. We provided our own plates, flatware, and food.

I have to give a special shout-out to the bartender, Arthur (the fifth of his name) who was the coolest person ever. A great balance between friendly and professional. Arthur was extremely thoughtful, funny, and just a pleasure to be around. It felt like he could handle any and everything!

I'd highly recommend booking The Academy for your...

This seemed like a super sweet place! It's hard to know what they offer as my company merely rented out the space, hired a single bartender, a person with an ice cream push cart, and vaguely mentioned a DJ in a room some room somewhere on premises. Not sure which building it was in, though.

From what I saw, there are a bunch of very cute rooms in two different buildings connected by an outdoor patio space that is secluded from the street but does appear to be shared space for the above apartments. Bonus for privacy, but I also felt very conscious of feeling as though I was in someone else's backyard after hours. OTOH, if you live there, you probably expect a nightly party. :)

The space/s have tons of fun potential and I...

Went to the Divas and Drink event judt the other night. Web -site says " no ticjets sold at door", do i bought mine online for $15 plus service fee. Get there, and they are selling tickets, to dudes none the less. And for $10 bucks ! Not only did i feel duped, but what are dudes doing in our space? Can we have an all woymn event? Guess not. Also, if you go there for an "event", be prepared, it's Outside. Partially covered. They omitted that detsil as well. Its basically a house with small rooms...
