For their big day, Shifteh and Hasan chose the legendary Fairmont San Francisco, a venue that radiates old-world charm and sophistication. Located next to the Grace Cathedral atop Nob Hill, this historic hotel offers sweeping views of Downtown San Francisco and the Bay, making it a perfect setting for a luxury wedding.

The Fairmont’s location, rich history, and stunning architecture provided an unforgettable backdrop for the couple’s dream wedding. This iconic venue, known for hosting royalty and dignitaries, was the perfect setting for such a momentous occasion.

Ariana’s original vision for her ceremony was an outdoor setting surrounded by lush greenery, but as The Palace Hotel didn’t offer an outdoor space for the ceremony, we knew we had to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. The breathtaking Sunset Court with its iconic glass ceiling was the perfect choice. To bring the garden feel to life, we collaborated with a skilled florist to handpick greenery and create an airy, open atmosphere that made guests feel as though they were in a blooming garden.

Ariana and Nima’s Baha’i wedding ceremony was deeply meaningful and personal. Performed by a dear friend of the couple, the ceremony included beautiful readings from family and friends, creating a heartfelt and intimate atmosphere. The couple’s faith played a significant role in shaping their ceremony, and the love and connection shared by all was palpable throughout the day.
