Book Space

Our state-of-the-art building offers multi-purpose spaces for groups of up to 500 and is an ideal destination for retreats, team meetings, presentations, conferences, wellness events, and parties. Check out our Photo Gallery of rooms available to rent!

Prior to booking a room, we recommend booking a tour of the Center so you can see and engage with the space firsthand! During the tour, our friendly facilities team is happy to answer any questions you may have on room layout, etc.

Nonprofits benefit from competitive sliding-scale rates.

Beginning September 2024 until the end of December 2024, you can now book space at the SF LGBT Center on Saturdays! For a limited time only, if you book an event between 9-5 pm PT, there will be no additional service and event staffing fees.
