The Tech Interactive 

5.0

San Jose, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $12,000

The Tech Interactive is a science and technology center and is a fantastic place for a large or small party: Three-levels can accommodate up to 2,500 guests on a large, adaptable floor plan, or flexible spaces make events of all sizes feel at home. You can reserve The Interactive lobby, fully operational interactive exhibit galleries, the IMAX Dome Theater or our rooftop terrace, which features stunning views of downtown landmarks. Find the perfect space, or combination of spaces, for your next event or meeting at The Interactive. Plus we’re located in the heart of Downtown San Jose, just steps away from public transit, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center and several major hotels.

We hosted our October 2023 Wedding Reception at The Tech Interactive and I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a unique (and literally interactive) venue. It was so much fun and our guests had a great time!  We rented the entire lower level and they kept the galleries and exhibits open so our guests could play with them throughout the night! They were a hit during cocktail hour as well as for taking breaks from the dance floor (although we still always had plenty of people on the dance floor!)  Our event was mostly adults with a handful of younger relatives, and everyone had a great time. The exhibits at The Tech Interactive are perfect for quick and fun interactions no matter how interested (or not interested) any individual guest was in science/technology. Our engineer friends had a great time with the Cyber Detectives activities, while even our least technically-inclined guests enjoyed playing around with things like the Jet Pack Chair and Solve For Earth. This was truly best of both worlds, as we didn't have to give up any of the "traditional" wedding elements to make room for the fun of the exhibits - our tables and decorations were set up beautifully, we still had appetizers and an open bar, and like I mentioned above, there were still always plenty of people on the dance floor! We actually didn't even need to decorate as much as we might have with a more "traditional" venue either, as the existing colors, lighting, and layout of The Tech make for a strong baseline to build from. Our primary contact was Lolita and she was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. She was there with us every step of the way, from our initial tour to our reception itself. She made sure to consider exactly what we were looking for to make our wedding special and was extremely organized and great and communicating with us as well as our other vendors. She created a great layout based on our table count, dance floor size, and the space the caterer needed, and she and her team went above and beyond and worked with our caterer and coordinator to help set everything up between the public close time and the start of our event so that everything was perfect when our guests got there. They even let us customize the exterior lighting color of the building during our event. The physical location of The Tech Interactive is fantastic as well - right in downtown San Jose within walking distance of tons of hotels and two parking garages where The Tech validates. The city closed off Market Street right in front of The Tech relatively last minute for a public city event, but Lolita was on top of it and worked with us and our shuttle company to arrange for pickup and a smooth experience for our guests. In summary: If you're looking to do something unique with your wedding or event, I can't recommend The Tech Interactive enough. Lolita was fantastic to work with and our guests couldn't stop saying how it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever been to.

The team at the Chabot did a great job facilitating our wedding, and the venue was excellent - we used the planetarium for our ceremony, and the 2nd floor Spees for the reception Strengths: - Nicole, Samantha, and the other staff at the CSSC were helpful and professional. They assisted in planning the event (thinking through what spaces work well for what activities), worked well with other vendors (including our band who was new to the space), and were accessible and effective on the day of the wedding which helped ensure the event went smoothly and was fun for all - The event space is visually interesting so you do not need much (if any) decoration - we did no florals beyond bouquets and simple table decorations - Exhibits and telescope viewings allow guests more options for activities beyond the common drinks and dancing (which you can also do) - Venue offers the option to rent furniture, which is one fewer thing to think about - CSSC provides a list of recommended vendors can be useful for narrowing search (even for services where they do not require you to select from the list) Things to think about: - Some restrictions on vendors (catering specifically) mean you cannot fully customize and does add costs, but also means that vendors are pre-vetted - Renting rooms/areas for pre-wedding prep is extra - be advised - Telescope viewings subject to weather - While we have heard it can be difficult to get rides to/from the venue, none of our guests had issues (but several did opt to carpool) Overall, it was a great experience made possible by the site and the team at the CSSC - we are very happy with our choice
