We have created a courtesy block at the Hayes Mansion Hotel which is nearby our venue. However there are several other options!
Los Gatos: is a town to the west of our venue that has a very cute down-town area and several hotels. If you want to make a weekend of staying nearby this could be a good option.
Downtown San Jose: there are many hotels here and this would be very convenient to get to if you are flying in from the San Jose Airport though it will be about a 20 minute drive to and from the wedding venue.
Vacation Rentals: if you are searching for a vacation rental online the closest area to us/the venue is the "Almaden" neighborhood of San Jose, however you could also look further into Los Gatos if you wanted a more nature-y experience surrounded by Redwoods! Just be sure to check the travel time to the venue :)
San Francisco: it is a great place to stay if you want to make a trip of coming to CA! However it is FAR from the venue. You would need to set aside at least an hour and a half to be sure to arrive on time if you are staying in the city and driving down to San Jose for the wedding.
The San Jose Airport is by far the more convenient option, however there may not be direct flights from your area. Coming down from the San Francisco Airport will be about an hour drive, potentially longer with traffic, so if you are coming in the day of the wedding please factor this in!
