If you want to get married at San Francisco's City Hall before March 20, you'll have to limit your guest list to no more than 50 people.

The city of San Francisco just placed a ban on city-owned facilities hosting non-essential group events exceeding 50 people in attendance over coronavirus concerns. City Hall is one such facility affected by the order, which ends on March 20, but luckily for San Franciscans looking to tie the knot, you can still book weddings there.

A City Hall spokesperson told Business Insider that weddings are not canceled at City Hall. There's always a six-person limit on the number of guests that are allowed to attend the regular 30-minute civil ceremonies offered from 9 am to 3:30 pm, Monday to Friday. It costs $90 to book one of the half-hour reservation slots.

But for the one-hour and two-hour wedding packages, up to 100 and 200 guests, respectively, are usually allowed. In light of the ban, however, a City Hall spokesperson confirmed that all events are being limited to less than 50 people, guests and vendors included. The one-hour wedding package is priced at $1,000 for the private use of a City Hall room, with the two-hour package offered on Saturday and priced at $5,000.

The accommodation is just one of the many that San Francisco, and other cities across the world, have had to make as the coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, continues to spread.
