3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent pictures, very helpful, but WRONG phone numbers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where to Get Married: San Francisco Bay Area: A Photographic Guide to the 100 Best Sites (Paperback)
My fiancee and I have purchased and used many different books that have places to get married in the bay area. The thing that this book had over all the others is that a picture is worth a 1000 words. You can look at the picture, and instantly determine if it is the right decor for your wedding. This book provides a great description of the place in flowery grandiose language, but lacks on the details needed to choose the site. That would be fine, because you can always call the provided phone number to get that info, right? Not in this case. Of the ten places I decided to call this morning, only one phone number was correct! So, now I have to hunt for the phone numbers, which will be difficult for the places like the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park, do I call the City's Parks and Recreation?

Nothing like pictures...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where to Get Married: San Francisco Bay Area: A Photographic Guide to the 100 Best Sites (Paperback)
The best thing about this book is that it has actual photos of the locations. It's much easier to make a judgment based on this than just words or a hand drawing, as in some cases. The descriptions were pretty accurate as well.
