Party in a Flower Shop — Seriously

Host Your Next Private Event at Ampersand

A one-of-a-kind floral sanctuary in the heart of San Francisco, perfect for your most memorable gatherings. Now with updated pricing of 30% Off!

Tucked into the vibrant Castro and Duboce Triangle neighborhoods, Ampersand is a truly unique event venue — a working flower shop by day, and by night, a magical setting for celebrations of all kinds.

Whether you're planning an intimate birthday, an engagement party, an off-site team gathering, or just an excuse to gather with your favorite people, we’ve got the vibe handled.

You bring the guests, snacks, and drinks — we’ll take care of the ambiance.

From lush seasonal floral displays to cozy seating nooks, dimmable lighting, and a built-in Sonos sound system, Ampersand is a turnkey venue with soul.

We always recommend visiting during business hours to see the space in person before booking — we promise, it's even dreamier IRL.

🤫 Psst... Weekday events (Monday–Thursday) are discounted. Snag your date while it’s still available.
