“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”
