Venue Setting

Tucked away in the quiet foothills of Saratoga, CA is the Montalvo Arts Center, home to a beautiful Mediterranean styled historic mansion with 150 acres of lush greenery, romantic gardens and intimate views of the San Jose cityscape. Built in 1912, this Nationally Registered Historic Landmark is a world renowned non-profit arts center and unforgettable event venue.

A charming one-way road leads you from the wrought-iron entrance gate up a small hill. As you round the turn, you’ll get your first glimpse of the estate’s expansive Great Lawn and the grand historic Villa with its terracotta-tiled roof, light stucco walls, and wide verandas that create the most magical setting for your special day.
