San Francisco is a hot ticket for weddings, so aim to book 4-6 months in advance, especially for prime spots with Golden Gate views or in popular districts like the Mission. The city enjoys mild weather, but the wedding season peaks in summer and early fall, making venues less available. The increased demand can lead to higher prices during peak season, so book early.
