Connie and Patrick had the most stunning sleek and modern wedding day at Blanco Urban Venue. Everything about this day was perfection from her gorgeous wedding dress to the elegant white flowers and of course the picture-perfect wedding venue. This venue was amazing and so I knew I had to share all of the details about getting married at Blanco Urban. So, in this blog, I’m giving you all the information you need to decide if Blanco Urban Venue is the perfect fit for your big day!

Where is Blanco Urban Venue?

Blanco Urban is a sleek and modern wedding venue located in historic downtown San Jose. It is a historic building that has been transformed into a modern space providing a blank canvas for any type of event. Its location is prime as you can walk outside and be in the heart of downtown San Jose with tons of restaurants, bars, hotels, and shopping! It is only a 7-minute drive to San Jose International Airport making it easy travel for those flying in for your wedding.

Why Get Married at Blanco Urban Venue?

1. Rooftop Event Space for Your Ceremony or Reception

One of the best parts of Blanco Urban Venue is that it has 3 stories with the top one being a rooftop deck. I love this because you can have the best of both worlds with an outdoor ceremony with a sleek and modern feel. You get to get married in the heart of a city in a more private and intimate setting! Plus the rooftop deck is super simple with a white statement fireplace and bistro lights allowing you to make the space your own! The space is big enough to host up to 170 for a wedding ceremony and 70 for a reception.

2. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

If you are having lots of guests fly in for your wedding, there is nothing better than making travel and finding a place to stay super easy. Because this venue is located in the heart of downtown San Jose, there is an abundance of hotels, restaurants, and things to do during the weekend your guests are in town! And because the venue is located in the historic downtown San Jose, there are lots of charming spots to take wedding photos!

3. Large Reception Space

If you are having a bigger wedding with more guests, the Great Room is an awesome space that offers 3,870 sq. ft. of unobstructed indoor function space with multiple configuration options. With 30-foot ceilings, the space is huge and provides the perfect atmosphere to celebrate your love. The space is simple and ready for you to add your personal touches to it. It can host up to 230 people for a wedding reception.

4. Historical Charm

While this is a super sleek and modern venue, it has a lot of historical charm which adds so much character. The original style of this building was Spanish architecture and so to keep the integrity of the building, its authentic 150-year-old brick walls have been carefully restored. The white brick is a statement piece in this venue that adds lots of character while still keeping the space simple.

5. Blank Canvas

Whether you imagine your day to be simple and elegant with lots of white and neutral tones or super colorful, they both will look amazing. Because most of the venue has white walls, it’s essentially a blank canvas for you to bring your dream wedding to life!

6. Amazing Staff

And of course, the staff at Urban Blanco Venue is absolutely amazing. They were on top of it and made sure that every part of Connie and Patrick’s wedding day went smoothly.
