Terra SF Gallery
The Terra SF is one of our event planners’ favorite holiday party venues in the Bay Area. This gorgeous venue features plenty of windows for natural lighting, magnificent designer lighting, and beautiful artwork. Its wide, open event spaces make an excellent backdrop for holiday parties, especially company Christmas party themes with lots of decor. The venue boasts two spaces with a combined square footage of 24,000 and can accommodate up to 750 guests standing in both. It’s conveniently located near airports and hotels, making it an excellent spot for a destination event or San Francisco excursion.
City View at Metreon
A beautiful venue with a breathtaking view of the San Francisco skyline, the City View makes for an incredible location for any corporate holiday party. The spacious expanse totals 31,000 sq. feet and has a terrace of 11,000 sq. feet. Seven walls in the venue feature plant life, bringing the beauty of nature indoors. The City View at Metreon has plenty of amenities, from power capabilities to a truss system and permanent tent anchors on the terrace. Your holiday party here will be as stylish as it is fun.
Coyote Ranch
This scenic venue, located just 15 minutes from downtown San Jose, is an excellent location for alternative Christmas parties. Join your team in exploring the ranch, including its many outdoor ball courts. Turning Coyote Ranch into an outdoor, activity-packed holiday destination is ideal for those looking to break the mold of holiday parties. The serene countryside also makes for a relaxing getaway for teams and companies looking to promote wellness and relaxation. Bringing in lounge furniture, tenting, and plenty of entertainment can turn this fantastic spot into something even more incredible.
The Glass House
With 12,000 sq. feet of space, including three lounges and an open-air patio, the Glass House in San Jose is one of our team’s favorite spots for a company holiday party. This venue is highly flexible, owing to its open space and floor-to-ceiling windows, making it ideal for branding, as we did for this employee appreciation event. So, too, does that make it perfect for branded or themed holiday parties. Its open floor plan allows for plenty of entertainment and games. With a scenic view outside the windows and a capacity of 900, your holiday party here will be unforgettable. Our event planners in San Jose love this venue for its versatility and gorgeous view.
The Box SF
The Box, a historic San Francisco venue, makes a cozy place to ring in the holidays with your team. Operating primarily as a Victorian-style printing and letterpress shop, this awe-inspiring location houses beautiful antiques and pieces of printed media. With three levels of meeting rooms and a basement “speakeasy”, this venue has many options for an intimate dinner and party. Fill the spaces with plenty of fun office Christmas party games, and you’re set for an event your team will never forget.
The Gardens at Heather Farm
An intimate venue with beautiful botanical features, The Gardens at Heather Farm are an amazing spot for a tight-knit holiday celebration. Beautiful hardwood floors make the main hall even more pleasing to the eye, and outdoor spaces like the wrap-around deck mean you can soak up the beauty of the floral gardens. Designing it with stunning decor to set the scene as your team receives employee holiday gifts will make this location even more incredible.
Fort Mason
This historic landmark sits on the San Francisco waterfront, a stone’s throw away from Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, both visible from the venue. Fort Mason contains 12 event spaces, with the largest totaling 50,000 sq. feet. The venue overall is 75,000 feet of usable space, with two theaters and ample parking. With so many venue spaces to choose from, you’re bound to be inspired by this magnificent location.
Ferry Building
The Ferry Building features three gorgeous event spaces, from the outdoor plazas on the San Francisco waterfront to the Grand Hall, whose tall ceilings, skylights, and stunning mosaic tile flooring make it a scenic backdrop for any large company party. For an afterparty, your team can go on a Bay tour by ferry, leaving from the building itself. This beautiful venue is an ideal spot for large groups, especially for Bay Area team building during a cruise together.
The Crowne Plaza
The Crowne Plaza Hotel is an iconic Palo Alto spot in the heart of Silicon Valley. This gorgeous, sprawling location features 17 spaces for events. The ballroom is ideal for holiday parties, with a capacity of 800 for a reception or 600 seated. The hotel is ideal for your holiday celebration with superb AV, a convenient location, and plenty of amenities. Decking this wonderful spot out in beautiful lights, decor, and filling it with delicious holiday catering will create an experience your team will adore.
The Pearl
This beautiful industrial building contains three event spaces. A beautiful Mezzanine space boasts massive windows and a wood ceiling. The rooftop space invites your team to celebrate in the open air, and the main floor has a reclaimed cedar ceiling with skylights and a bar suited for cocktail parties. The Pearl is both spacious and a thrill to design. Your holiday decor will compliment the beautiful, open space. The rooftop makes for an excellent lounge area with a lovely cityscape view.
