Claire J. booked an office holiday party for 160 people
We reserved this space for our company holiday party for approximately 120 people. The venue manager, Paul was great to work with. The event itself went off without a hitch and the space was the perfect size for our group. It felt cozy and intimate without feeling cramped. We hired a live band and they sounded amazing inside the space. My only complaint was that the self-service coat check room was small and it was full of storage. It would have been nice to have access to the whole room so that guests coats weren't smooshed onto the the limited hanging space. Other that, it is a beautiful and unique space right in downtown Oakland with easy access to BART. You cant beat the location. I would definitely book this space again!
Maura P. booked an event for 200 people
I really enjoyed working with the California Ballroom. Paul was friendly, efficient, helpful and transparent during the whole process. I felt that the space was a good value for the money, and the renovations were a nice bonus. All the day-of staff were friendly, and helpful, as well. I highly recommend this space for events.
Britteny F. booked an off-site for 100 people
Paul was an amazing person to work with. helpful, flexible and passionate about his work. The space was as advertised and better. I could not have imagined a better experience!
