St. Joseph's Church
Event venue
👍👍 Important Note: this church has not offered mass or other church services since 1989 after the Loma Prieta earthquake hit. The owner could not afford repairs, so the church sat vacant for many years. In 2012, a plan was approved to renovate the church, converting the interior into office spaces whil...

The venue coordinator, Melanie, was an absolute dream to work with. She promptly answered questions, facilitated walk throughs, and coordinated w...
