S.D.E.S. Alvarado

S.D.E.S. Alvarado is a Portuguese cultural centre in Union City, California, with two halls available to hire for private and corporate events. The larger Dining Hall can accommodate up to 400 guests and is suited to weddings, galas and other large celebrations. The Main Hall holds up to 250 guests, making it an option for birthdays, anniversaries and mid-sized company events. Organisers can discuss the room that best fits their guest numbers and plans with the venue.

Both halls include tables and chairs, set up for the event, as well as a stage and dance floor for entertainment and dancing. A full-service bar with professional bartenders is available as part of each rental. There is also a spacious kitchen and preparation area, which allows organisers to bring in a licensed caterer of their choice. This gives clients flexibility over the food while keeping the reception, dining and celebration in one location.

The venue invites prospective hirers to enquire about available dates and arrange a walkthrough. Its spaces can suit a range of occasions, from a wedding reception or milestone birthday to a gala or corporate celebration. The organisation behind the halls has a long-standing connection to Portuguese culture and community life in the Alvarado area, and the property also hosts its own cultural and social activities. For event organisers, the main offering is a practical, sizeable hall with key facilities for guests, dining and entertainment under one roof.
