“When my partner and I were looking for the perfect venue for our wedding we looked no further than the Chabot Space and Science Center (CSSC). The team at the CSSC were amazing! They worked closely with us helping to plan the wedding ceremony and reception of our dreams. They are kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. We looked at a lot of venues in our search for the "right" place that was not only beautiful but also affordable. CSSC is affordable compared to many in the Bay Area offering indoor and outdoor event spaces and really cool package options that fit nicely within our budget. We I can't say enough good things about them. We had a small wedding group or 35 guests and I was worried that we would get lost in the museum. The team understood my desire to have an intimate ceremony and reception and they made it happen. They understand the space and how to make the most of it. Although we had planned well in advance, we had to make last minute changes and the team made the changes without drama and upset! I was so calm and happy on my big day thanks to the team making everything work smoothly. Every couple wants their special day to be amazing for family and friends. We all want our guests to have a wonderful time at our wedding. My partner and I had the wedding of our dreams at Chabot Space and Science Center and our guests are still talking about the unique, fun and educational experience they enjoyed!”
