Monica &
Richard?
Unless you’re one of those Google Search people, you presumably know who we are. But for a little history:
Monica and Richard first met in 2016 while standing outside of a San Francisco bar called Piano Fight waiting for a now Los Angeles based comedy show called Talkies. Our very first picture together is the B&W below, taken six months before we started dating (outside of another Talkies show at the Roxie).
That’s not much history. But if you’d like to learn more, you can read this page that gets into how we met while describing some nice places to eat, drink, and walk in San Francisco.
Where to stay
We’ve put together a few hotel groupings for you based on our wedding venue location in North Beach. These hotels are grouped by designations of Fancy, Touristy, and Businessy, and all of them are around a 20 minute walk from the venue. You don’t have to stay in them. You can stay anywhere!
Venue
Our wedding reception is at the Melody of San Francisco, a former cathedral turned event space in North Beach, San Francisco’s Little Italy and the neighborhood where Monica and I spent almost all of our life together in SF.
