Reviews
This is a magically beautiful place and venue unlike any in the area or California. It is the jewel of Oakland. We had a family wedding here, and it was the most amazing wedding we’ve ever been to. Lawrence, the Event Coordinator, is so kind, knowledgeable, and patient. He made the planning process so much easier and stress-free, and was always available to answer questions or address concerns. The Park is gorgeous and stunning, especially at night. We want to host another event there, but we need to figure out how and what it could be. Thank you to Lawrence, the best venue person we’ve ever worked with, and his wonderful staff.
Always clean, family like feeling, and accessible from Bart.
Had an event here for work, a career fair, and the entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Lawrence, the event planner, was super nice and helpful as this was thr first event I had planned of this scale. The crew there on the day of the event was super helpful as well and the venue was setup perfectly for our needs. It is a beautiful spot too, with the block that it’s on being very vibrant and well maintained. I would definitely recommend using them in the future!
This is an interesting place with a lot of local history. I anticipate I’ll be back to attend a tea and learn more about the people who lived here and shaped this area.
Stunning outdoor wedding venue in Downtown Oakland. It’s an oasis in the middle of a city! The historic properties are well maintained and make the perfect backdrop for a wedding day. The landscaping is beautifully maintained as well, and the team is wonderful to work with.
