    Spacious
    Elisha A.

    Great venue super spacious with lots of space for different activities add events. However, I was locating it by the back door address given to me and it was baffling. The address number is not the same from the back door and front door and it can easily be misleading. The front door and Main Street side is located inbetween Broadway and Telegraph on 27th street addressed as 390. But the address provided to me was 411 28th taped to big chained gates. Make sure you choose the front street address as I provided above to cancel confusion. Other than that If you knew the place by name then it's very easy to spot. Very colorful outside with name posted large. This place is great for any gathering. It's big enough to decorate and make any occasion special. I appreciate how clean and well kept this Hall is. The back space is nice and large with a fire pit for if things get chilly. The space is stocked with everything essential. Tables and chairs are provided. As well as speaker system and kitchen utensils. Parking is ok in the front kinda iffy in back.

    Date: 1/23/2016 Time: 2:00 PM 58° Partly sunny Humanist Hall is not in a fancy-schmancy building and its interior is simple in design. On one side of the building is the kitchen and an area for food prep set up. The elevated stage is at the opposite end. The reception area is large enough for celebrating special occasions - be it birthdays, weddings, baby and/or wedding showers, celebration of life. The courtyard is in a garden-like setting. Basically, one calls the gentleman, Dave, re: renting and reserving the hall. Setting up and cleaning up is the responsibility of the host and family. Purpose of visit: Husband and I are here for a dearly departed friend's celebration of life. Her family set up the tables, chairs and the lovely floral centerpieces. They also are working the slide show of their mom, aunt, grandmother or great aunt with some old school music - a soulful celebration. (A few times they ask Dave to assist with the sound system.) Friends are preparing and serving the late afternoon supper. Overall, it was a nice send off of a friend whom everyone loved, and for some of us, she became our friend three weeks prior to her departure onto a higher plane. She was a special angel among us. For me and on a personal level, I never knew that Valerie's sister, Wendy, and I were high school classmates over 48 years ago until I was introduced to her at the time...small world. (Oh, the memories she and I shared.) Being there was indeed a special occasion to enjoy, celebrate and renew a friendship.

    7/2/17 I performed for a wedding here and found it to be a great venue for both indoor & outdoor activities. With all the trees It stayed cool outside and the acoustics inside were great! -DJ Rockalot

    We came across this hidden gem of a space on a whim, while looking for a venue to host of our kids'…read morejoint birthday parties. The space is absolutely beautiful and a great blank canvas that doesn't need much decorating because it's got what some elders may call "good bones". The owners are really easy to work with and great at outlining all the details up front, so that you know what you are getting. And for the price, it's totally worth it! The space comes with tons of bells and whistles that you would normally pay extra for. That includes a sound system (for a DJ or you can use their Bluetooth and play your own music), light system, industrial fridge, microwave, a built-in selfie or Photo booth green wall, industrial trash cans, tables, and chairs galore. There's also free and plentiful parking located out back, which was a great built-in perk. There are so many things we loved about this space, including the barn door leading to a cute back patio. Great for creating indoor/outdoor space for guests. Ours used it to watch the trains going by, which was a big hit for the kids. The front of the venue is situated right near a loading dock/overhang area, which came decked out with lights and was perfect for our Piñata. There's also space adjacent the loading dock that worked perfectly for a jumper. We really enjoyed renting this space, and our guests absolutely loved it as well. It's the best space for any type of party or event, and worth every penny.

    Was great while it lasted! Easy to book, accommodating, nice venue! Best wishes as you move…read moreforward and continue to serve the Bay Area!

The space itself is beautiful -- high ceilings with great skylights, beautiful brick wall on one side, and every media capability you can think of including customizable lighting, sound, and 2 projectors. But as much as the venue was amazing, what really made the day magical was Chris. From my very first conversation with him I could tell that he was going to do everything in his power to make the proposal as perfect as possible. He provided every option, made great suggestions, and went above and beyond for me. I can truly say that I would not be engaged if it wasn't for Chris. I cannot thank him enough.

I have nothing negative to say- the space was beautiful, displayed artwork was beautiful, the bartenders, day-of staff, security guard were all so helpful and friendly to not only me as the bride but to ALL of our guests. We got a ton of compliments all night about what a cool space it was and that it was a perfect choice for our party. We worked closest with Stacy and she was phenomenal! She helped us throughout the year of planning and went above and beyond on numerous occasions to make sure our needs were met. We are so happy we chose this venue for our special day!!!
