1. Hensley House (from USD 899)
This historic property is located close to Downtown San Jose and features exquisite interiors. Spread across three levels, the house can easily accommodate up to 26 guests. The property can also host 50 guests for an intimate backyard wedding with prior approval from the host. Your furry friend can be a part of your special day if you choose Hensley House and pay an 80 USD cleaning fee.
Furthermore, DIY couples will love that this house comes with two kitchens, making it possible to self-cater. However, no loud noise or events can be held outdoors post 9pm, so guests opting for an evening event should plan to host their reception either off-site or indoors. No wedding is complete without a photographer, and the host can recommend a professional photographer and a real-time videographer.
