Large Wide Open Studio Space (1800 sq ft) with High Ceilings, Sprung Dance Floor and Grand Piano
Great performance and party space! Paul D was an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely accommodating and clear on the do’s and dont’s but there are far more do’s than dont’s! Paul was always reachable via the Peerspace app. I never had to wait long for...

Pro Photo & Video Studio in Emeryville/N. Oakland | Loads of Rental Gear
out of there way to help with setup. The space has great character. My team and I were able to shoot a live music performance and set up three different scenes within their space, including a 10 piece band. I’d highly recommend this venue...

Mosswood Chapel Ballroom
not express any concerns or objections. This statement was unprofessional, dismissive, and inappropriate. It left us feeling bullied, taken advantage of, and pressured into performing labor that should never have been our responsibility. It also contributed to substantial delays in our setup timeline and added to the overall mismanagement we...
