Description

Located in the heart of historic downtown San Jose, this 1924 landmark is no ordinary event center. As your guests walk up the broad granite steps, past the enormous urns and soaring columns, they’ll be impressed by the stately elegance of its neoclassic design. Once inside the Corinthian Grand Ballroom, its majestic features create the perfect atmosphere for your celebration. Our 50-foot ceilings have massive wooden beams and is inset with alternating panes of blue glass and intricately detailed panels of gold leaf grillwork. Six extraordinary wrought iron and glass lanterns hang from the ceiling like giant luminous earrings, while five 30-foot palm trees embedded with twinkle lights add sparkle. At the end of our room is a stage with a carved stone proscenium and framing red velvet curtains, where you and your beloved will say your vows. At the other end is a carved granite balcony, where you’ll share your first dance as a married couple. Banquettes along the sides of the room make cozy seating areas along with a raised section that is ideal for your head table. The hardwood dance floor is permanently ensconced in front of our stage where you and your loved ones will dance the night away!
