SPACE RENTALS
Hotel rooms for Hair and Make-up are ok but certainly not ideal! Check-out times, poor lighting, inadequate electrical outlets and if you're using your own wedding night room, the mess left behind!
We offer GREAT natural lighting, plenty of outlets, large open spaces, convenience + close proximity to area venues!!
UPSTAIRSsjc offers rental space for day-of Bridal Party hair & make-up, filming & photoshoot changes and other short term needs as a bridge between home and venue.
Because many local event venues have tight turnarounds &/or limited space, many brides & grooms find they simply need an alternative to getting ready at their venue. Additionally, many find that clearing out belongings from a poorly lit hotel room with limited electrical outlets while trying to get to that aisle on time can be inconvenient.
CITY PARKING
Time limits and PAY in ADVANCE apply.
1. On streets as per signage.
2. Parking Structure as per signage.
3. Multi-modal Parking as per signage.
4. Other parking is available throughout the city.
Always PAY IN ADVANCE to avoid ticketing!!
