Wedding Weekend

Gather, Toast and Dine at Alton

More Time Together

Designed for wedding guests making a full San Francisco weekend of it, this page offers an easy Friday-to-Sunday itinerary for out-of-town visitors and local staycation guests alike. Inspired by the experiences travelers are actively sharing across recent Fisherman’s Wharf social content and travel vlogs — bay cruises, vintage arcade stops, photo-friendly murals, iconic food moments and lively pier energy — each idea gives guests more to discover before and after the wedding without competing with the couple’s official schedule.
