Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with and Chabot was an amazing venue for our wedding reception. We rented out the Spees building, which came with the use of all the exhibits as well as the telescopes (which were open to the public, and came with volunteer scientists!). Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the space was. I absolutely recommend working with Sam and Chabot for your event needs!

Unique Venue!
Chabot Space & Science Center is a unique indoor/outdoor venue that's great for all ages. We had many guests compliment the venue for the planetarium, exhibits, and decor. Amy is a great events coordinator there!

Unique and Fun Venue
We had such a good time at our wedding! The venue is very special because it's much more than just a room for events, it's a museum and observatory. We were fortunate to have a clear sky during the wedding, so everyone visited the telescopes. Amy, the events coordinator for Chabot was very responsive and fun to work with.

Chabot has so much to offer, from gorgeous sunsets, interactive science-y fun (including planetarium shows and telescope viewings) and incredible Bay Area views.... and let's not forget the free parking! They also offer stellar catering options (sorry for the pun, but it's true) so you and your guests will enjoy an amazing feast.
