FLOOD MANSION WEDDINGS

MILOU & OLIN VENUE GUIDE

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

One of San Francisco’s most elegant wedding venues, the Flood Mansion is an iconic Pacific Heights residence constructed in 1915 by James Leary Flood for his wife, Maud.

The Flood Mansion is a symphony of classical styles – Italian Renaissance, Rococo, Tudor, and Georgian. With a total of 11,000 square feet of opulent venue space available for wedding ceremonies and catered receptions, the Flood Mansion offers a variety of different rooms and chambers that include a spacious Grand Hall with marble floors and staircase; a bow-windowed Belvedere with panoramic Bay Area views; a palatial Reception Room with hand-painted murals and high, coffered ceilings; the Adam and Duchesne Rooms with hand-carved wooden paneling and marble mantelpieces and the Italian courtyard garden that’s popular for outdoor wedding ceremonies.

INDULGE IN BEAUTY

Located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco and home to Schools of the Sacred Heart, the Flood Mansion transforms from a school by day into a private event venue with more than 6,000 square feet of space available for rental.

Their breathtaking Grand Hall and additional spaces let them accommodate seated events for up to 165 and reception-style events for up to 299. The flexibility offered by the multiple spaces also let us mix and match the right combination of spaces for your event’s needs, or to use just one for smaller, more intimate events.
