The host was so gracious and easy to communicate with. She was able to accommodate my sound system request. We even got to interact a little bid at the end of my workshop and I enjoyed her great vibe and energy. The location is perfect for what I need it: open clean space, easy access to the restroom and it even had a small reception area for my attendees to wait until the room was properly decorated for our workshop. I will be back.

We've held team meetings here twice and it's been perfect both times! DJ is super accommodating and quick to respond to any questions, and the space itself is beautiful and comfortable. The espresso machine is definitely a plus!

I proposed to my girlfriend here and couldn't have asked for a better space to do this indoors at. The set-up was perfect and looked amazing in person. All of our pictures turned out really well utilizing the plants to add to our background. Communication was on point from Jo's end. Thank you for sharing your space with me.

About Oakland

Oakland is the largest city in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay area and serves as a major trade hub. Home to Lake Meritt (rumored home of the Oak-ness Monster), Oakland is one of the most diverse cities in the United States. The city is extremely vibrant and picturesque with its own redwoods a few miles from the city center.

The weather in Oakland is pleasant all year round. The summers are typically long, comfortable, and with clear skies whereas winters are short with a few clouds blocking direct sunlight. That said, it’s got some of the most comfortable weather in the country no matter the time of year.

There are definitely a few quirky things about Oakland like the hundreds of hidden staircases or the fact that one of the city’s most popular parks is a cemetery, Mountain View Cemetery. But all said and done, it continues to be an extremely popular city and a business hub which means there are tons of resources and professional spaces for you to host your meeting.

Meeting Space Options in Oakland

  • Catering
    Depending on the duration, time, and agenda of the meeting, organizing a catering service to take care of the food requirements will greatly aid in making the meeting a success. Yes, people do get hungry during meetings, and caterers not only provide you with the food but also do all the cleanup later.
