Our Venues

Venues at Fort Mason

Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture is a National Historic Landmark on San Francisco’s northern waterfront, offering spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the bay from a 13-acre campus. The former military installation now houses more than a dozen versatile event spaces ranging from 500 to 50,000 square feet, including Gallery 308 with its polished concrete floors and panoramic bay views, the intimate Firehouse overlooking the water, and the gracious General’s Residence with its bayfront lawn ideal for outdoor ceremonies. Whether you are hosting a wedding for 50 or a conference for 5,000, Fort Mason offers a combination of natural beauty, historic character, and flexible infrastructure found nowhere else in the city. Outside catering is permitted across most venues, and 49 Square Catering is proud to bring locally sourced, chef-crafted menus to events across the Fort Mason campus.

Reviews

An Incredible Team

Multi Day Developer Conference

You will absolutely not go wrong with 49 Square! Their incredible team executed an exceptional food & beverage program for #1500 attendees at at the Innovation Hangar. This one-day F&B program had a lot of moving parts . We certainly kept them busy, and they delivered on everything!

Outstanding

40th Anniversary Celebration

They were creative and flexible in putting the menu together. The food and drink were outstanding and original, and well suited to the famous Bay Area food culture without being yuppyish… Our guests, varied in age and background, raved about the food.

The Best Wedding Decision We Made

Wedding Ceremony and Reception

Hiring 49 Square Catering was one of the best wedding decisions we made. It has been a little over three weeks since our wedding and family and friends are still calling us to talk about how amazing the food was. I did not have a wedding planner so it was great having Kim there for me…she was like my bride whisperer.

A Magical Event

Wedding Ceremony and Reception

49 Square Catering made my wedding day a magical event! I had the pleasure to work with Kim and she is wonderful! I am very lucky to have worked with them on my wedding and I strongly believe if you hire them you will feel as happy and lucky as I do.
