Venues & Event Spaces near Moraga, CA

“I am so glad that I had my wedding here. Wedgewood Wedding helped take away so much of the stress from wedding planning. The staff was incredibly helpful and would give honest feedback on my ideas and goals. I would highly recommend having your wedding here.”

“I took two teenage girls to this super casual spot on a Sunday afternoon. First time we've thrown axes, and we loved it! There are 5 lanes in the back, with tables and stools, and paper on clipboards if you want to keep score, They provided a tutorial/safety talk at the beginning, and then the freedom to learn by playing. We had two lanes to ourselves, which allowed us to experiment and throw a lot of axes. The other patrons came in couples, and each couple had their own lane.

By the end, we weren't great, but we had a great time. It was a fun and healthy way to get out some energy, practice focus, and just laugh together.”

“This place is quite comfortable with all basic amenities for co-working - nice desks, telephone booths, meeting rooms, coffee etc. If there is one ask, I'd say, make all desks with adjustable heights.”

“Bloc15 in Oakland, California, is one of the most vibrant and well-designed event venues I’ve ever experienced. The atmosphere hits you the moment you step inside, industrial yet polished, with sleek lighting and a layout that perfectly balances open energy and intimate vibes. The sound system is clean and powerful, ideal for battles, performances, and parties alike. Every corner feels like it was built for creatives to shine.

I had the honor of competing and winning the “Double or Nothing” popping battle there in 2025, and the energy that night was unreal. The crowd was hyped, the dancers came with heavy styles, and the judges held everyone to a high standard exactly the kind of environment that makes you push past your limits. Bloc15 gave the event a professional yet underground feel, with smooth transitions between showcases, battles, and staged cyphers.

Beyond the dance floor, the venue’s staff were welcoming and on point, making sure everything ran smoothly. Whether it’s a dance event, concert, or private function, Bloc15 delivers the perfect mix of culture, class, and creativity. Oakland’s dance scene felt alive in that space and I’ll never forget the night I took home my first Oakland win?”

“I love this place. I’ve been there a couple of times with my girls and we had a great time. When it was time to plan my daughter’s 7th bday I decided to do it at putters. It was easy, low stress, and everyone had fun. Beyond the party area, and even the mini golf- there’s corn hole, ping pong, some basketball,
And more! Sean, the owner is a rally nice guy and just made things easy. I recommend this place if you just want a little fun on a weekend or evening to play some mini golf or for a kids party. Doesn’t get easier than putters!”

“Visited Bancroft Garden on June 25th and was pleasantly surprised. The weather was mild, and I had about an hour to wander through this small neighborhood garden.

The desert plant collection is the highlight — a really interesting variety of cacti and succulents, including several species and flowers I’d never seen before. Some were in bloom, which made the visit especially rewarding. The garden is compact but thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to enjoy without feeling rushed.

The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience.”

“This review is for the tennis club. Very nice set up. The club is built into the side of a hill with a raised viewing gallery and bar to watch matches below. The courts are in great shape!”

“Love coming here with the kids. Cheap on Wednesdays. Tons of memories and great games. A valuable part of the community. Since we live near there, we go there fairly often, and it has never disappointed us. Staff are friendly, and games change occasionally. Kids love it so much my oldest daughter took her friend there and she had a blast. Great for family.”

“Scene was the perfect spot for my daughter’s Sweet 16! There was plenty of parking, and the space was super roomy with tables and chairs already provided. The little kitchen and three bathrooms were great too! Working with Toby was super easy. He was so responsive and accommodating. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. I’d definitely book this place again! Highly recommend!”

“We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. Even on the last day of August, the gardens were in full bloom. We received SO many compliments from our guests on how stunning the venue was. Everyone we worked with at The Gardens at Heather Farm was kind, attentive, and an excellent communicator. Jenna and Cathleen were both amazing! Throughout the planning process, they were always available to answer questions and offered many helpful recommendations for vendors, which made our planning much smoother. We dreamed of having an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by an indoor reception, and this venue was absolutely perfect for that. Our wedding day completely exceeded our expectations, and we had so much fun! I cannot recommend The Gardens at Heather Farm enough. It was truly the most magical place to host a wedding.”

“Sometimes you just need a quiet comfortable place to relax and collect your thoughts. The rotunda is perfect for that. Not too many spots in downtown Oakland are quiet and peaceful, the rotunda is”

“5+ customer service. Great choice for the size of the shop—excellent selection of groceries and meds. Loved the chebureks and the beef pirozhki! The lady(if I’m not mistaken - Svetlana) and gentleman there had a great sense of humor, and their sincere care and smiles truly made my day. Thank you a ton, and bless you!
No photos as pirozhki & chebureks were far gone then I was ready to take photos😂🤣”

“Shoutout to TW for a welcoming coworking environment. I was traveling from out of state and booked a meeting room for a few hours and it was exactly what I needed. I left my laptop charger there and they mailed it back to me no problem. Wish I lived closer !”

“Nice people - But they are Elks, what do you expect!
We dry camped, that is all they offer.
The lodge tour was wonderful!!! What a cool lodge building.
They are a block from Main Street Alameda, lots of different food choices.
Try Signal coffee, you will understand how a small shop does coffee better than next door Peet’s or Starbucks.”

“I contacted Phoenix about hosting a memorial service. Saskia responded extremely with a quote and we were able to see the space the next day. Saskia was incredibly friendly and kind. The space is lovely and their service is extremely flexible with respect to food and price, which allows you to really design your own event. It's great to have a space like this in Alameda!”

“We did a tour of Redwood Canyon with Jacoby and absolutely loved her. After scheduling, she reached out to confirm the appointment and gave helpful directions. At the appointment itself, she was a wealth of knowledge and struck the right balance between sharing information and giving us time to take in the space.

While we ended up chosing another venue due to availability of dates, I absolutely would have loved working with Jacoby. She came across as passionate about celebrating love and highly capable. You're in good hands working with her!”

“We recently had my daughter's 16th birthday party here at Pinot Pallette. It was Soo great! Will did an AMAZING job as the art instructor with his funny banter with the teen girls and his phenomenal art expertise. Each girl was Soo focused and Soo pleased with how each of their individual canvas paintings turned out. This was the Perfect birthday celebration for my daughter's Sweet 16! Thank you Soo much to Anna (owner) for her guidance on scheduling everything. Highly recommended!”

“Wonderful wine shop with a HUGE selection of reasonably priced wines, as well as a few $$$. The proprietor and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I ducked in to grab a bottle and asked for a French in the $30-50 range was was pleasantly surprised when they recommended a $32 bottle instead of a $48 bottle. Way to make a sale and get a fan for life! They also do tastings, at least on the Friday I was there. I can't wait to go back and explore their selection more.”

“Truly an amazing winery, teaches you all you need to know about wine! Great service! Good conversation and fun activities for members! Definitely check it out!! The owner is amazing and is very sweet”

“Having our wedding at Shadelands Historical Ranch and Museum was amazing. The venue itself is gorgeous, with incredible colors from the emerald lawn and giant trees to the explosion of roses around the gazebo! Our wedding was in May and all the flowers were in bloom, it was like a page from a storybook with hummingbirds and butterflies out and about enjoying the day too. Our guests kept raving about how beautiful and picturesque it was.

Christine and Jackie made it a very stress-free experience. We had a morning wedding with a group of about 80 guests, along with a buffet table, mobile barista, DJ and sound system, and plenty of room for our three photographers to easily maneuver to get their shots. (Will update later with some professional photos when those arrive!) The venue provides chairs and various sizes of tables all arranged to your liking, we requested that the lawn seating be set up for the ceremony and for the tables to be set up around the edge of the patio area and they had everything set up exactly how we envisioned, so all we had to do was come in and decorate. Event insurance is required, along with multiple contacts on hand. Contract and rates are very straightforward. While the magnificent trees cover a large portion of the grassy area, would recommend bringing your own canopies with weights if you plan to set up tables within the paved area. Overall a grand experience with the venue and welcoming staff.”

“This venue was perfect for what we wanted! We wanted a small wedding of 50 guests and I was looking for a place with some scenery and not just a boring hall that needed a lot to look beautiful. We were on a small budget so we also needed something at a reasonable price. This place hit all that and more. All of our guests loved the venue and it helped that it was a beautiful sunny day. The garden area made for a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and great for photos. The lake was beautiful with all the ducks swimming around. I loved everything about this venue and definitely recommend it if you are having a small wedding.”

“I had my wedding here at Fairview Metropolitan and it was the MOST AMAZING DAY EVER! For starters Angela Muse helped us from start to finish on planning our day and every little detail in between! She was amazing to work with, she was clear, communicative, friendly and organized which is everything you want when you are planning your wedding! When I arrived at my reception I was blown away by the decor and how beautiful every detail was! Thank you so much Angela for all of your hard work and support in making my dream reception!!!

The vendors that are connected to Fairview that I opted into having was DJ Keel and Ting at Montclair Florist. DJ Keel was a phenomenal MC and met with us ahead of time to get an idea of how we wanted our wedding MC'd as well as what we wanted our music to be like and let me tell you he achieved it!!! My guests were laughing, entertained and raving about the music all night! Thank you Dj Keel!

I coordinated with Ting from Montclair Florist and although we did not talk much I have to say my bouquet and center pieces were the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen! The flowers were stunning and she ran with the ideas I had and made it the most beautiful arrangement ever!!

My guests were raving about the food and we were so supported by KeeKee our Banquet Manager! She checked in on us and made sure we were good throughout our reception!

Book with Fairview you will not regret it the venue is beautiful and open, the tented pavilion is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the staff are phenomenal!!! Thank you Fairview for making the reception of my dreams!!!!”

“My first time attending an event at this venue and what a beautiful venue! Located in Pleasant Hill, next to a police station but also a near an outside area that has a gazebo. They have a pavilion area, dance floor, mirrors, tall ceilings and huge windows. I attended a 50th birthday, parking was easy, they had a kitchen, staff was super friendly and helped with the garbage when it got full. I bet it gets busy trying to rent out this venue for events but I enjoyed it and if you’re looking for a venue in the East Bay/Concord area, this is a great spot!”

“One of my go-to's for matinee movies. Clean, no big lines and easy to navigate. If you haven't already, definitely download the app. It'll get you through a little faster”

“I enjoyed every single minute of the gallery artist work.Altho it's in a close space, they did a gr8 job overall. I believe art is about texture n the correct line that the inner of the art, should bring out the artwork from the middle outwards..Jus that's me anyways.I always carry some sugar n honey when I go to places that I never been b4. N in return, I get treated with highly gr8 respect n understanding of the nature.Respect goes a long way.”

“Didn't go inside I only had an overnight stop. I appreciate being an elks member however this time I didn't get to meet the fine folks of walnut creek.”

“Lots of different themed toy sections for kids to play. Not a huge space but enough to play in each themed section. Workers were nice and they regularly made the rounds to put toys back into their themed section so toys won't be missing for it (ie doctor toys for the doctor office area)Great add to the Castro Valley community”

“This is a fantastic show if you are into Edgar Allan Poe or even just fancy cocktails. The drinks coordinate with the poems/stories in the show. The actors are amazing. Perfect opportunity to show off your fancy cocktail attire as well.”

“The perfect venue for my husband's Celebration of Life. Beautiful venue. , Bright, immaculate and spacious and a awonderful kitchen for my caterer to set up. Plenty of parking and easy access for disabled guests. Management was very nice to work with too. I would highly recommend this venue for your gathering.”
