San Francisco Planners — Common Questions
What is on the rules sheet that matters most?
Three things: who is allowed to work in the building, what insurance paperwork each of them has to file and by when, and the hours the doors are open for setup. Every one of those can disqualify a supplier you have already fallen for, so read it before you meet anyone.
The venue has an approved supplier list. Are we stuck with it?
Sometimes, and it is worth asking which kind of list it is. An exclusive one is a closed door. A preferred one usually means an outside team can work there after filing paperwork and paying a fee, which is a different conversation and one worth having early.
What about the parks and the waterfront sites?
Those sit with their own permit desks, and each has its own view on chairs, amplified sound, alcohol and how long you may hold the space. Pick the site, then read that desk's rules, because two sites a mile apart can differ on all four.
Is parking really the problem everyone says it is?
For guests it is an annoyance. For your suppliers it is money and time. Ask where a van unloads, whether the street needs a reserved space arranged in advance, and how far the carry is. Those answers change quotes more than the menu does.
How should we handle the weather for an outdoor ceremony?
By treating temperature rather than rain as the risk. Evenings turn cold and windy fast, and a neighborhood two miles inland can sit in sun while the coast is under fog. Ask the venue what the site does at your hour, and plan for wind in anything that has to stay upright.
