Alvin Studio
& Courtyard
A red-carpet welcome, a blossom-framed open-air courtyard, and a modern indoor studio — one private San Jose address for weddings, quinceañeras, and every celebration in between.
An open-air courtyard
unlike anything in San Jose
A true 1,200 sq ft open-air courtyard is a rarity among San Jose event rentals — and ours is wrapped in cherry-blossom and floral backdrops, lit by natural light, and built for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and golden-hour photos your guests won't stop talking about.




The Studio
A modern, open-layout room you can shape any way you like — dining, dance floor, lounge, or stage. A large TV wall screen and programmable LED lighting turn it from baby shower to birthday bash to corporate mixer in an afternoon. Karaoke included.


Step inside in 360°
Explore the courtyard and studio from anywhere — drag to look around and move through every corner before you ever set foot on site.

What guests are saying
"What a great venue! My friends said it looked like a wedding. I was surprised when I pulled up and the whole outside was decked out with a red carpet. Karaoke was lit with the stage."
"This place is amazing! Great sound system, air conditioning, private parking — everything you need to keep the party going. We are very happy after hosting 100 people at our 50th birthday celebration."

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you book — and we’re a call away for anything else.
Up to 100 guests — whether seated for a dinner, arranged theatre-style, or standing for a cocktail-style social. The courtyard and studio together give you room to spread between indoor and open-air.
Every rental comes set with round tables and gold chiavari chairs, plus the studio’s sound system, microphones and karaoke, the TV wall and projector, stage lighting and a venue attendant. You also get Wi-Fi, air conditioning and private on-site parking. An on-site audio technician is available as an add-on, and so is the courtyard.
Yes. In-house catering is available, and outside caterers are welcome with no buyout fee. Food warmers are fine, but there is no on-site cooking and no guest kitchen.
Caterers, food trucks, DJs, performers, rentals, décor and outside equipment are all welcome — just share them with us before the event so we can approve them and plan around them.
Yes, with our written approval. We don’t sell or serve alcohol ourselves unless a signed add-on says otherwise, so the drinks are yours to arrange. A few things to know:
- Drinks stay within the approved studio and courtyard areas — not in the parking lot or anywhere outside them.
- Depending on your event, we may ask for approved security, a licensed bartender, insurance or permits.
We’re happy to point you toward licensed bartending services for your event.
Absolutely — play your own playlist or bring your own DJ. Please note there is a noise restriction after 10:00 PM in keeping with local guidelines.
Each package covers 4 hours, with security, cleaning and insurance included: $1,865 Monday–Thursday, and $2,665 Friday–Sunday and holidays. The courtyard can be added for $1,500, and additional services are available on request. Send an inquiry or book a tour and we’ll reply with a custom quote, usually within one business day.
We follow a standard 30-day policy: cancel 30 or more days ahead for a full refund, or between 7 and 30 days out for a 50% refund.
Yes to both. The space is ground-level and wheelchair accessible, with accessible restrooms and accessible parking, plus private on-site parking for your guests.
Just a few, to keep the space safe and beautiful for everyone:
- No smoking or vaping, except in an approved area
- No gambling, betting or wagering anywhere on the property — including activities involving large amounts of cash
- No firecrackers, fireworks, sparklers or pyrotechnics anywhere on the property
- No open flames, candles, fog, haze, glitter or confetti unless we approve it in writing
- No on-site cooking (food warmers are welcome)
- No pets, except service animals
- Please leave alarms, cameras, smoke detectors, sprinklers, climate controls, AV and fire equipment as you found them
Any damage to the space is subject to an additional charge.
Your rental window covers your whole day with us — load-in, setup, the event itself, cleanup and load-out — so plan your timeline with all of it in mind.
- Hoping to arrive early or stay a little later? Just ask — it needs our written approval, and overtime is billed at the rate on your quote.
- Your guest count can’t go above the capacity we’ve approved for your event.
- Using the courtyard or outdoor amplified sound needs our written approval, and either may be adjusted on the day.
Only if you’d like us to. On your rental agreement, you choose whether we may use photos or video of your event in our marketing — and either answer is perfectly fine.
Ticketed events, where guests buy admission, aren’t permitted — the space is reserved for private celebrations with your invited guests.
Book a tour through our online scheduler, call or text us, or send an inquiry below — we typically respond within one business day.

The best way to see it is in person: walk under the arch, through the greenery, and into the studio as the big screen lights up.
