Perfect wedding space - An Eventective User from San Jose, CA

In every way, LAHM was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us. Magically good. First — the people. Lisa, the events director, was so great to work with and put us at ease right away, from getting us scheduled instantly for the first tour (six months from our date!) to communicating clearly & excellently throughout. The second time we were there she was finishing up an appointment and (no surprise!) the other folks couldn’t say enough nice things about her. She was so key as the point person to get everything running smoothly. Second — the venue is really ideal for a wedding ceremony and reception. Cute, cozy, and private, with lots of flowers and very light touch needed on any additional decor. The area in the back with a few tall trees made for stunning golden hour photos. It was one of those places where you can walk in and just instantly feel, “this is it” — and that’s how it was for us. Our guests loved it, too! We had a ton of glowing comments about our choice of venue. That made us so happy. Third — it was practical. From their extensive experience with hosting events like this (& recommended vendor lists) to their convenient location (nestled right in near downtown Los Altos and easy to get to; also, copious parking)…it made it very easy to focus on everything else that goes into planning. Everything went *so* smoothly, not a single hitch, and that is not something to be taken for granted. Finally! Though this is a wedding venue review, the museum is also a wonderful community space with exhibits and kid-friendly activities. We went several times during the planning and it always felt like a friendly place to visit. Thank you so much to Lisa, and everyone at LAHM, for forever being a part of our unforgettably special day. <3

Thank you, so much. I truly felt honored to share space on your special day. Every part of the team worked seamlessly, and you are right, it was SO smooth. We really could not have asked for a better group to have shared our space for the most special occasion. We can't wait till you return!
Beautiful Space for a Garden Wedding - An Eventective User from Los Altos

The LAHM is such a sweet, beautiful and lush venue, tucked away in Los Altos! They have a gorgeous red brick patio with lights already strung across to make any event feel like moderate sized garden party. For our wedding, we loved having a beautiful natural backdrop for our ceremony, but also a space with room for mingling during cocktail hour and for kids to run around (though if you have a kids free wedding, the event space is still perfect!). They were so generous in allowing us to use the Smith House for the bride to hide away while guests arrived, while also giving us space in their main museum to store the belongings of our wedding party. All around, I couldn't imagine a better wedding venue for us! Lisa P. started after we had reserved our date and once she was our point of contact, things couldn't have been easier! She was so helpful and communicative. We even lost one small item on the day of the wedding and she was so diligent in ensuring it was returned to us quickly and easily. We highly recommend the Los Altos History Museum for your event!
