    Corinthian was on top of it all!

    Renee and the rest of the team at the Corinthian were exceptional, even in the middle of a coordinator change, Renee picked up where the other left off without a hitch. She was amazing and I still have people to this day telling me that this was the best wedding we've been too.

    Beautiful venue in San Jose

    My husband and I live in San Jose and wanted a venue in San Jose for convenience. We also had a vintage theme wedding so the Corinthian was perfect!

    We didn't have much decor in terms of drapes, lighting, etc. so I was worried our wedding would be plainer than the pictures I've seen of weddings there, but it still looked beautiful!

    Jennifer (the event director) was always responsive to my numerous emails and also helpful. Tina (the event coordinator) always made sure we were on top of schedule during the wedding. The waiters, bartenders, and other employees were also great.

    Highly recommended!

    I had the wedding of my dreams here. Jennifer and Tina are the power houses and are amazing at what they do. I picked it solely on how I feel about the people when I first interviewed the site and I'm glad we went with our guts!

    Absolutely one of the best vendors I’ve ever worked with in San Jose. The attention to deathlike is amazing.

    From the beginning to the end this organization has the history and the ability to deliver the results you want.

    Loved having our wedding reception here!

    Staff was very responsive, supportive and understanding of all our needs. We didn’t live in San Jose (our parents did) so it was nice that they were so responsive otherwise during the planning process. Our guestlist was at about 300 and they were able to accommodate all the last minute changes we had to make. They allowed us to visit the site often and peak at how other parties decorated before their events to help us get ideas. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend.

    Nov 25, 2018 Wedding

    Jennifer and the whole staff were so amazing throughout our year of planning. Nov 25, 2018, was the most amazing day! The food and A-1 service is still a major conversation with family & friends! From the moment of planning to the day of, everything was so amazing! I do not have a single complaint! Thank you all for making our day so special!

    I love the old world charm of this place. From the outside with the tall roman columns to the inside high cathedral like ceiling. We recently held our wedding at this venue, and their coordinator Jennifer was amazing to work with. She was very cooperative, responsive and helpful. Any questions we had was answered promptly and professionally. Their available menu was great but the chef was very willing to work with our taste and request. The vendors that they work with are equally amazing. So please dont forget to ask Jennifer for her recommended list of vendors.
    Pricing was decent, not the cheapest out there but also not the most expensive. Make sure you contact them early! and come for a walk through. We had the run of the top two floors and it's huge there!. Open bar is always a plus but that's only if you have it in your budget! Our guest definitely made use of the feature though :)

    A great place for a reception. It is such a beautiful building inside and out. The wedding coordinators are very helpful especially Jessica Gomez. She set up our tables and they looked amazing!

    I loved this place for a wedding but they didnt have my date open. The coordinator informed me that we can try moving our date, but that was the date i wanted and planned for so that wasnt going to happen.

    Then good things were the food was amazing the drinks and all services were great! loved everything about it!

    My husband and I got married on Feb 2016 and we had 200 guest at the Corinthian. We fell in love with the high ceiling and the beautiful 1920s decor. We were getting discouraged after looking all over the South Bay for an affordable venue for our large guest count, but couldn't find any. So when we sat down with Jennifer to discuss the cost we were surprised that this beautiful venue was within our budget. Also Jennifer was great to work with. She was fast at responding to all my questions up to the day of our wedding. They have a great team, who made our wedding day super special. They also had some items that we could borrow for free such as an easel for our welcome sign. Trust me you won't regret having your wedding here. I would do it all over again if I could.

    My husband and I wanted to plan our wedding in six months. We wanted a place that looked different, not the usual hall in a hotel. We saw the Corinthian Event Center and fell in love. They offered us a great package and really worked with us. In the end not only were we so happy with the way everything came out but so were our guests. Plus the first dance on the balcony was everyones favorite part. It was so unique and beautiful.

    Responsive, professional event planner for a beautiful venue

    Right from the event planning with Jennifer, to the recommendations of the package, to picking out the food & drinks items, I never felt I was being pushed to buy more of their services. They were very professional and helpful. I felt like everything was planned smoothly and I did not have to worry about anything on the day of the event, and simply focused on getting ready and spending time with the guests. The day of the event co-ordinator kept me abreast with the timings and helped carry the night forward very well. The room was laid out exactly as we had requested and never once did I have to stress out about something going wrong. This venue would be at the top of my list for any future celebrations.

    I shopped hotel venues and this place was by far the best choice. No hotel can provide what this place provides.

    I had my wedding here on April 20, 2013. It's very pretty here. Huge pillars in the front. Very grand... Gorgeous tall ceilings... Food was all the rave. It was very convenient for my out-of-town guests since there were many hotels in a 5 minute vicinity.

    I had Rosa Mendoza as my event coordinator for my wedding and she was wonderful to work with until we signed the contract. She took over 3 weeks to return emails/calls and excused her tardy replies with being busy with other brides since my wedding was still a few months away. This would have been fine if she simply acknowledged the receipt of my email and told me she would reply as soon as she could instead of ignoring it all together. She is not detail oriented either. I would caution everyone working with her to make sure you go through the contract and your specific needs for the wedding a few times in advance. I did this and still had day of "surprises." Rosa is great at promising more than she can deliver. She described the layout of the appetizer buffet and cocktail room and when it came to the day of and I asked her if it would look like the way we talked about, she claimed that was an extra charge! As a result of Rosa's poor communication, attention to detail, and apparent lack of caring we decided to hire a day of coordinator. We had one last meeting with Rosa before the wedding in which the coordinator attended and Rosa was visibly pissed. We assume it was due to the coordinator but cannot be totally sure. Either way, Rosa was completely unprofessional and clearly preoccupied with anger to have an effective final planning meeting. During this meeting, which I had to take initiative to schedule with her, she also told me they switched vendors for chair sashes and could no longer get my color. She just realized this during our meeting that occurred 4 days before the wedding, a meeting that would never have happened had I not asked to meet with her. She tried to work with the vendor and find the right color but to no one's surprise, she failed. The food was quite good, however, and the venue is absolutely gorgeous! I chose this venue because of the building but working with Rosa was very unpleasant. If you decide to use the Corinthian be sure to ask for Jennifer, the other event coordinator. Honestly, other than Rosa, the venue was wonderful but Rosa made it very difficult to enjoy the beauty of the Corinthian.
