The Corinthian Event Center is known as one of the premier spots for Northern California wedding venues and special events. Its reputation is hailed as a historical, non-traditional Great Gatsby landmark and chosen as one of the most affordable (of its caliber) South Bay indoor wedding venues. Also, the Corinthian Grand Ballroom is proud to be mentioned as one of the top Bay Area wedding venues by a San Jose local paper. Clients love the fact that the Corinthian Grand Ballroom is located in the heart of Downtown San Jose near hotels and churches, which are known as the city's finest! We strive to make sure you... Remember your day as classy!

Located in the heart of historic downtown San Jose, this 1924 landmark is no ordinary event center. As you walk up the broad granite steps, past the enormous urns and soaring columns, you can’t help but be impressed by the stately elegance of its neoclassic design.

This impression carries through to the interior spaces as well. The Corinthian Grand Ballroom is the Event Center’s main ballroom, and it has the elements of a true ballroom. You enter through a foyer, regally outfitted with a crystal chandelier and hand-painted wood-beam ceiling. Once inside the Corinthian Grand Ballroom, you’re struck by its grand proportions and majestic features. The 60-foot ceiling has massive wood 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 one end of the room is a stage with a carved stone proscenium and framing red velvet curtains; at the other end is a carved granite balcony, where just-married couples often dance their first dance. Banquettes along the sides of the room make cozy seating areas, and there is a raised section that’s ideal for the head table. The hard wood dance floor is permanently ensconced in front of the stage.

Smaller functions take place in the Gold, Silver and Bronze Rooms. All have crystal chandeliers, cream walls, red carpets and ceiling baffled sound. You can reserve these rooms individually, or combine them to make one long room – the perfect space for a wedding ceremony. And all three rooms have access to the Phoenix Lounge, a more casual space with faux-candle chandeliers and a mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings. The Olympia Room, a large private room with white walls and pastel detailing, is available for small meetings and as a brides dressing area.
