ERIA Marina · San Francisco
Hosting 200 guests in San Francisco? ERIA Marina holds up to 400 standing indoors, so a 200-person event runs as a standing reception with a full bar.
Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for 200-person events
Two hundred guests is beyond every seated layout at ERIA Marina — theater seating, the largest, tops out at 150. For a group this size, plan on a standing reception: the venue holds up to 400 guests standing indoors, or 500 including the outdoor space, so 200 people have plenty of room to move.
- A standing reception format built for groups above seated capacity
- The bar and lounge areas as the natural gathering points for 200
- Outdoor space available if the guest list grows past 200
