Akeem S. booked an off-site for 30 people
Love this place so much! Mick is extremely helpful and our team loved connecting with him. We’ll be back for sure! If you haven’t checked out his space it’s comfortable, spacious but small enough for an intimate gathering. Our launch team gathers here for our launch team meetings and will continue to do so. Thanks Mick!
De Angela J. booked a memorial for 30 people
mick was very pleasant and helpful regarding assistance with our setup for my Moms' memorial service and flexible with opening up the doors for our deliveries before we showed up...Thanks Mick!!!
Remiya G. booked an event for 30 people
The space is so beautiful! And it Mick was a great host. Very responsive, answered all my questions even made time to allow my party planner to come and view the space in my absence. My moms 50th birthday party went off without a hitch. The only negative is the parking which was a bit difficult to find as more guest arrived. However I will definitely use this space again in the future.
Auzeen M. booked an event for 30 people
Such a beautiful space that I used to host a motherhood event. Communication went swiftly with Mick and I probably asked the most questions of all of his bookings. It’s an ideal location with a parking spot which is a plus as most Bay Area venues do not offer a private parking spot. Venue was clean, had plenty of natural lighting (perfect for photos) and was spacious for a 30 people event including a coffee cart, 6 vendors and a photography set up with a backdrop. If I could choose, I’d use this venue again and again!
Charles L. booked an event for 20 people
Mick was a great host and easy to work with. He went above & beyond to ensure my team was able to smoothly transition the space into what he envisioned. The space was perfect for our private dinner for 22 and I’m still getting compliments from the evenings event.
Deja B. booked a video project for 10 people
Mick was such a lovely host. Very accommodating & friendly. Space looks exactly as it is photographed. Has such a good vibe. We had a great time shooting our video. Would definitely recommend.
Michelle S. booked a video shoot for 4 people
This space is wonderful! We used the studio for a film shoot and it was clean, well-equipped, very convenient and looked great! The host Mick is very helpful and responded quickly to our questions and requests. We would highly recommend this studio!
Alex L. booked a production for 6 people
Please don’t shoot here... because I want to keep it to myself! Haha. But seriously you’ll not find a cleaner, better put together, well lit studio for this price. And don’t even get me started on the Owner! Haha. He’s amazing, he’s such a good photographer too! We didn’t think a last minute rental would be a possibility, but he made it work! I cannot say so much I loved this experience, we will be back!
