Special Events:
San José City Hall is extremely versatile and can accommodate a wide range of events you may be planning. Organizations or individuals may reserve our glass-domed Rotunda, a public gallery space stretching 110 feet high to support elegant receptions, weddings and banquets; lectures and presentations. In our Wing, we are also offering our Council Chambers and a series of Committee Rooms that can be used separately or combined to make a larger event space, ideal for small receptions and dinners.

If you are looking for an outdoor venue, three areas on our outdoor Plaza may be reserved, including our Bamboo Courtyard located on the southern edge of the City Hall complex, or the west or east Plaza areas, right off of the Rotunda. The Bamboo Courtyard is bordered by a planting area of Henon Black Bamboo; an ideal space for a pre-event reception or small dinner.

San José City Hall features several meeting rooms for the public to use. Featuring the latest in technology, the Council Chambers offers two, large projection screens, each measuring 24 feet wide by 18 feet tall, located above the dais, designed to encourage audience participation. The Council Chambers feature theater-style seating, enhancing visibility for the audience.

Also available for public use are the committee meeting rooms located in the Wing. They are adjacent meeting rooms that can be used separately or combined to make a larger meeting space.
