★★★★★ — Erica, Oct 2025

I just photographed an engagement session at Montalvo Arts Center for the first time, and it was love at first sight. Let me tell you, as a photographer, this place is a literal dream – so many beautiful spots for portraits all in one location.

★★★★★ — Kristen, Oct 2024

We photographed a wedding here and it is such a beautiful venue! It's so convenient to be able to host all parts of your wedding here - you don't have to leave site for portraits! As a photographer, this is super convenient and saves time for the client. We had a delightful time here and hope to be back!

★★★★★ — Whitney, May 2024

Pretty, nice hiking trails uphill to some nice views of San Jose. Get there early for a parking space. Lots of weddings are going on during pretty months, therefore many sections are closed for private events . Lovely place for a picnic bring your own blanket food and drink. It is a wonderful place for the community.
