Loaded Santa Monica Meeting Suite w/ Sunny Private Patio
and having an on-site contact to respond to any of our needs made us feel very well-taken care of. Having two delicious eateries just downstairs in the office building was a very convenient bonus. Our entire staff truly enjoyed the environment and experienced no negatives at the site...

Bright & Spacious Private Santa Monica Indoor/Outdoor Loft w/ Outstanding Service
Everything about this space was absolutely wonderful! The host was kind and accommodating. It's located near some amazing eateries such as Mendocino Farms and Sidecar Donuts. It comfortably sat our party of 9 +1 dog and it had all the amenities we needed to have a successful business trip...

Fully Equipped Professional Production Facility
cookbook author. She made this seated dinner for 65 an incredibly special evening. This space was so much more unique than all the private restaurant dining rooms we looked at in Santa Monica. If you are looking for the opposite of stuffy for your event and want a cool space...
Howard D.
Silicon Beach Boardroom
Very new room with large HDTV in a nice building complex. Several amenities such as coffee, food, restaurant, etc in complex. Conference room is next to restaurant and it was noisy during lunchtime. Otherwise, it was very quit. Parking is expensive...

Santa Monica, just four blocks from the beach near Main St. which has a variety of restaurants and shops
very responsive, space was as advertised. I held a speaking event at the space (didn't use the A/V set up). Parking and nearby restaurants were a plus...
Breck H.
Bright & Spacious Private Santa Monica Indoor/Outdoor Loft w/ Outstanding Service
such a wonderful location though, that not using the Peerspace Concierge Service should not cause any problems - you can easily walk to several stellar restaurants for lunch/dinner from the loft...

Rooftop in Santa Monica
Monica was a pure blessing, we can't say enough good things! The location is spectacular, in the heart of the Promenade, near delicious restaurants, creative fun shops and the beach. The space is huge, with indoor and outdoor (balcony) options. The staff and owner were the nicest, and there...

Bright & Spacious Private Santa Monica Indoor/Outdoor Loft w/ Outstanding Service
The space was clean, bright, and had everything we needed for our meeting! My team loved the location, also with it being close to eateries like Bluestone Lane, Sidecar, and Mendocino Farms, breaking for lunch and coffee was a breeze. Parking was easy and Graham was available to chat throughout...
Michelle K.
Santa Monica's most gorgeous room with a Secret Garden vibe
questions. The space was great and we were able to use the TV to play a video we made. The one challenge was the restaurant had booked another party to start 30 minutes after ours so we had to be out at 8pm sharp. We had to kick our guests...

Private Santa Monica office minutes from downtown
This place was great- spacious, clean and comfortable. The host was super responsive and even had a list of nearby eateries for guests...
Bre L.
Santa Monica's most gorgeous room with a Secret Garden vibe
had our own space, away from others. I can honestly say that I was pleased to have found this place, because it is a restaurant as well. Jefferey and his team had created a menu for me that was absolutely a hit with my guests. This was a great first...
Sierra L.
Santa Monica's most gorgeous wine room with a Secret Garden vibe
advertised but wouldn't hurt if they added a few more photos and angles of the place. We used inside and outside of the restaurant. I also would not have minded paying a little bit more to have the restaurant closed while we shot. But I would recommend! Very cute...

the natural sunlight and the rooftop deck is great. Great location as well - right in downtown Santa Monica - walking distance to lots of great restaurants, stores, etc...
Claire P.
Bright & Modern Event Space
cool rented home than a corporate event space. Our company is very laid back and so it fit us perfectly. Having a fantastic restaurant located just downstairs to cater the food was also extremely helpful. Their team was very quick to respond and extremely helpful. Hoping to rebook again soon...
Desiree Q.
Santa Monica's most gorgeous room with a Secret Garden vibe
The host was responsive, the space was beautiful for my birthday luncheon. However, I do not think that the restaurant itself was adequately staffed for my party of 50 people for Sunday lunch. The wait staff had to go back and forth between our private dining room to the main...

Santa Monica's most gorgeous wine room with a Secret Garden vibe
people. It is incredibly beautiful when you work with people that support your art! Thank you Jeffrey for the amazing hospitality at your beautiful restaurant! To be able to shoot at a nice place, amazing. To be able to shoot at a place where the owner is nice, kind, patient...

Small Meeting Room
Natalia was fantastic, helpful and very responsive. Great space close to many cafes and restaurants. You will need to open the door once in a while to cool the room off. It gets stuffy since no air flow.....otherwise, great...
