About this venue

Welcome. Blanco, an Urban Venue, is the Bay Area’s premier event space in historic downtown San Jose. This charming building has been transformed into a three-story and 8,000-square-foot blank canvas ideal for weddings, corporate & social events. Blanco has kept the allure of this historic building by refurbishing some of its original features, like its 150-year-old brick walls. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Blanco is a stylish space with an old-world appeal.

    A Beautiful Wedding Venue

    We are so happy we chose Blanco Urban Venue for our wedding! From the moment we walked into the space during our initial visit with Chrissy, we knew it was the one. The venue is absolutely beautiful, incredibly convenient, and checked every box on our list. Once we locked in our date, Renee stepped in as our venue manager and was equally fantastic. Both were warm, responsive, and true partners throughout the entire planning process. They went above and beyond — recommending vendors, being flexible when working through our bar package, and always making us feel like a priority. We did run into a last-minute hiccup with the scheduling of our rehearsal, but Renee and the team handled it with grace and sincerity. They were genuinely apologetic and did everything in their power to make sure the rest of our wedding day went off without a hitch. Blanco Urban Venue is a stunning space backed by an equally wonderful team. We would recommend them to any couple looking for their perfect wedding venue!

    Best wedding venue ever!!

    From our first conversation with the Blanco Urban Venue team, we knew they understood what we wanted for our wedding day. They responded to every question quickly and gave us clear answers, which made the planning process so much easier. The venue itself has this open, and welcoming feel that matched our vision perfectly. On the day of the wedding, they were super accommodating to all of our requests and the staff stayed present throughout the event in case we needed anything. We felt taken care of from start to finish, and our guests loved the space as much as we did. We'd recommend Blanco Urban Venue to any couple looking for a responsive and thoughtful team. This was our dream wedding venue and can't stop thinking about how perfect our wedding day was thanks to the Blanco Urban Venue team. Special shoutout to Renee and Chrissy for all of the support they provided throughout the entire planning process.

    Wedding Planner, One Sweet Soirée

    As a wedding planner, it’s incredibly important for me to partner with venues and teams that are collaborative and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Renee and Chrissy truly exceeded expectations - not only did they take exceptional care of the clients, but they were also so warm and hospitable to the guests and the rest of the vendor team. Blanco Urban Venue's location, right in the heart of San Pedro Square, is unbeatable, and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for having us - I’m looking forward to bringing more of my clients your way whenever the opportunity arises.

    Beyond Amazing

    Blanco Urban Venue was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their team was incredibly responsive and helpful, patiently answering our many questions and making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. The space itself is absolutely stunning - modern, gorgeous, and the ideal backdrop for our special day. So many of our guests commented on how perfect the venue was. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way, and couldn't have asked for a better venue. If you're considering Blanco for your event, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed! SN: Please feel free to invite me..I'll take any excuse to go back. :)
