How to choose an event venue in San Jose
- Tour in person if possible and ask for a floor plan. Confirm the maximum capacity for your layout, such as seated dinner versus standing reception.
- Ask exactly what the rental fee includes, such as tables, linens, sound, setup, cleanup, and staff, and about extra charges for overtime or damage deposits.
- Check vendor rules. Some venues require their own caterer or approved vendors, and some limit alcohol, decorations, or amplified music.
- Read the contract for deposit, cancellation, and rescheduling terms, and confirm insurance requirements. Book early, as popular dates fill many months ahead.
