When you're planning a lifetime's worth of memories, only the best location for your special day will do. The Julia Morgan Ballroom, one of San Francisco's premiere wedding venues, surrounds you and your loved ones with the splendor and style of a bygone era, and makes your wedding one you and your guests will never forget.
When you and your guests enter the Julia Morgan Ballroom, you are welcomed into one of San Francisco's most historic and well-appointed wedding venues. From the city-skyline view offered from the Ballroom's location on the 15th Floor of the Merchants Exchange Building, to the grandeur of the hand carved walls and ceilings, and stately neoclassical fireplaces.
No other wedding venue in San Francisco matches the Julia Morgan Ballroom's elegance and attention to detail. It's large enough to host up to 350 people for a sit-down event, or up to 800 people for a cocktail-style reception – without anyone feeling too crowded! And, with its central location in downtown San Francisco, you and your guests will have easy access to the Ballroom from anywhere in the Bay Area.
As Director of the Julia Morgan Ballroom, Linda Hylen will ensure that your special event matches the grandeur of the Ballroom. Ms. Hylen's many years of experience, and sincere dedication to her clients, has established her as a preeminent social event planner in the U.S. Large or intimate occasions always run smoothly, and with grace, elegance, and style, under Linda's guidance.
There is no venue more magical, romantic or warm. My guests still comment, reflecting on how gorgeous, unique and inviting the room was. Linda Hylen guided the vision throughout the entire planning process and executed everything perfectly.

The Julia Morgan Ballroom at the Merchants Exchange radiates elegance, warmth, and charm, as does Linda Hylen. We had planned on having our reception elsewhere...until we met with Linda. She is the ultimate professional - providing guidance through the planning process, as well as delivering a seemless wedding day.

Working with Linda Hylen made our family event go smoothly enough for us to actually enjoy the milestone day. Anyone we have referred to her has always been MORE than pleased, and gotten more than they ever hoped for out of their event.

From the moment we walked in the door, we were overwhelmed with the unique beauty of the Julia Morgan Ballroom. After meeting with Linda Hylen our decision was easy. The Ballroom sells itself, but Linda gave us piece of mind on our wedding day.
