I was just looking up info on the San Francisco Mint, affectionately known as the Granite Lady, and it can house corporate events and weddings.
Imagine having a wedding there?

Original Dan and I walked by it a few years ago and it was still boarded up. They must have put some money into it.

You have to buy a permit to have a wedding in Ca? Geeze, I've heard of squeezing a turnip before but that is ridiculous!
Not a site I would choose for a wedding... Never cared for the ostentatious displays. Cheers, RickO
Perhaps the permit is for private use of the site? Regardless, we have marriage licenses up here in New England and I don't see how that might not be so different than a permit.

The San Francisco "Old Mint" also occasionally hosts coin shows:

I don't know anywhere in the US you don't have to get a marriage license. That is entirely different from a permit to hold a wedding!
Haven't been by there in a while, but it's somewhat adjacent to Skid Row and there were often homeless people sitting around outside. I wonder if the fee includes ushering those folks away before the guests start arriving.
Great idea!
Combine the two events, so you have something to do during the reception.

You would need to order extra food for the reception. A lot of extra food.
