Your Guide to Planning a Wedding Weekend at Hotel Nia
In the heart of Silicon Valley, there’s a wedding destination where modern luxury meets California-cool. Hotel Nia—named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s top 20 hotels in Northern California—is a place where every part of the celebration matters, from bachelorette weekends by the pool to relaxed brunches the morning after. It’s the kind of experience you and your loved ones will talk about for years to come—not because it followed tradition, but because it felt like you. And for couples booking now, a limited-time offer adds a few thoughtful perks that make hosting feel as effortless as it is unforgettable.
A Place for Every Moment
At Hotel Nia, the wedding experience is just as much about the in-between moments as the big ones—the spontaneous catch-ups over coffee in Verve Café, the late-night conversations on the terrace, the quiet, early morning before the day begins. Our versatile spaces make room for it all.
Start the weekend with a welcome gathering in our Exterior Courtyard Center, where guests can ease into the festivities under the open sky. This lush garden space, framed by curated landscaping and airy architecture, is perfect for mingling over lawn games like cornhole, giant Jenga, and Connect Four. As the sun sets, gather around a crackling firepit with a craft cocktail in hand, letting the weekend begin with good company and golden-hour glow.
When it’s time to say “I do,” the courtyard transforms into a serene, outdoor ceremony space with seating for up to 150. For those envisioning a grand, statement-making event, our Brilliance Ballroom offers nearly 5,000 square feet of soaring ceilings, sculptural lighting, and rich wood finishes—an inspired setting for up to 400 guests, complete with dinner, live music, and dancing that lasts well into the night.
After the final toast, step into a moment made for two. Our Nia Suite is a 1,300-square-foot sanctuary that feels more like a private residence than a hotel room. With floor-to-ceiling windows, an indoor fireplace, and an expansive outdoor terrace, the retreat offers a quiet, luxurious space to slow down and savor your first morning as newlyweds. Unwind with a soak in the oversized tub, slip into plush robes, and look out over Menlo Park as the day closes—just the two of you, taking in the start of what’s next.
On the morning after, gather your loved ones for a relaxed, sun-drenched brunch at Porta Blu. Choose from a breakfast buffet or a coursed experience featuring standout items like our signature Croque Madame. A mimosa or custom Bloody Mary bar extends the energy in true California style.
Your Wedding, Your Way
The moments leading up to your wedding deserve a setting that feels just as thoughtful. Whether you're planning a welcome reception, a low-key engagement party, or a lively bachelorette weekend, Hotel Nia offers a range of stylish spaces designed to match the tone of each gathering.
Want to celebrate poolside? Our resort-style setting comes complete with cocktails and California sun. For something more intimate, the Clarity and Inspiration rooms—with floor-to-ceiling windows and private patios—offer bright, beautifully designed backdrops for bridal showers and pre-wedding celebrations.
With imaginative menus, curated wine and cocktail pairings, and intuitive support throughout the planning process, every event feels considered, personal, and easy in all the right ways.
Where Your Guests Stay, Celebrate, & Explore
Hotel Nia was built for gathering. With 250 sleek rooms and suites, your friends and family will feel at home from the moment they check in. Guest rooms feature modern interiors accented with smart technology and comforts like rain showers, deluxe bath amenities, and high-thread-count linens.
And once the party winds down, the getaway doesn’t have to. Guests can take a spin through Menlo Park on a complimentary cruiser bike or fit in a workout at the 24-hour fitness center before heading out to explore the Bay. Hike the hills of Almaden Quicksilver County Park, dive into tech history at the Intel Museum, or browse the Great Mall in Milpitas. Nearby San Jose is full of options, from art museums and Japantown to the Winchester Mystery House—the kind of adventure that makes a weekend linger in memory.
