Large Event Space
Savannah and her crew were absolutely amazing!! We had our Son’s Bar Mitzvah party at Our City Center Church. The space is perfect for any big party. They had all the tables, chairs and linens. It was set up to make room for 10 round tables, a dance floor...

Gorgeous Modern Meeting Center
We had a great 2-day workshop in this space. The light is great, the restrooms are easy, the bar area is fun and it's in a TOTALLY great neighborhood with access to food and coffee and drinks and the like. The one exception was the area for projecting...

Stunning Waterfront Studio with Sweeping Views, Natural Light & a Flexible Floor Plan
drive for those south of the city or in the east bay, parking isn't easy, and Google maps thinks the address is a pub next door. Small potatoes. Great experience, would recommend for parties of all kinds...

1,800 Sq. Ft Spacious Modern Cafe
decided to use the Hip Hop Juice bar for my wife's surprise 30th birthday party. I was very pleased with everything, the venue was very unique with the whole set up being something out of the late 90's to the early 2000' s with the music and set...

Gorgeous Modern Event Venue
lights to some of the walls. The staff were so easy to work with, and my guests truly had a great time. The portable bar and refrigerator were also great amenities. I also like how the space is kind of a blank canvas for us to decorate it to our...

Spacious Modern Industrial Event Venue
really liked about the venue was that I didn't have to decorate very much. They've done a great job with the bar area and interior, and all I had to do was add some candles, flowers, pictures, and votives. Kara was extremely responsive to all of my questions...
Diana L.
Spacious Modern Industrial Event Venue
helped with our setup. Grace period of half hour for set up and break down respectively was too short. Audio sound systems were great. Bar and lounge area that are already there is very nice. Two bathroom facilities were clean and were of appropriate sizes. Parking even on weekend was...
Kendall L.
Gorgeous Modern Meeting Center
The setup is suited so well for an event that includes a presentation with the stage and screen already in place. The chairs, tables, bar area and everything are also really cool; they didn't take a cool space then load it with office-style furniture and fixtures; it...

Beautiful Urban Heated Patio Area for Events

Beautiful Urban Heated Patio Area for Events
Was great to use this private space for a quarterly meeting with celebration, pop in for a drink at the bar, and eat at our convenience. We did a friend to friend speed dating event, used the music speaker, Chaten provided table cloths which really added to the festive feeling...

SWAY - Amazing Urban Event Space with Beautiful Natural Light
My kid’s bar mitzvah party was supposed to be in a park but the weather had other plans. We booked sway at the last minute and am so glad we did. Not only were we warm and dry but also the space was perfect. We dressed it up with...

Beautiful Creative Meeting Space
and had good juju. Lots of light and interesting decor. Conveniently located on the same block as a coffee shop, several restaurants and 2 bars. (We literally walked next door for post-retreat happy hour drinks!) Management staff was proactive in reaching out before my booking time to ask if...

Best of all, the host Dana is amazingly friendly and accommodating. Feedback from the attending guests: “How...

Intimate Patio Event Space
hosted a gathering for my partner that involved a sit down meal and a casual cocktail hour – this space worked for both. The bar area is functional and we rented the plates and utensils we needed. The hosts were very accommodating, and we did a walk through before committing (they...

Space Closing 12/24 - Discounted thru Dec 24th! Gorgeous Flex Space in South Berkeley - Lots of Parking & Natural Light
is super kid-friendly which is a big plus so the kids were allowed to run around and play on the mats and monkey bars. There are multiple entrances and a good loading/unloading zone right on the side of the building, so bringing in food, drinks and decorations was...
