Eureka Building

This is a review for the «Park» venue rental —
We rented out the Park for our wedding on 06.11.2016. Eureka Building was an awesome venue with great people working to make sure the day goes as smooth as possible. We chose this venue for the flexibility of selecting food/​drinks and when we met with Taylor, she was so accommodating and responsive to our requests. Unlike other places they didn’t up sell us on anything but assisted through the planning process to assure we have the wedding we wanted. Great venue, amazing staff!

This review is for the outdoor event space at the Eureka Building.
My wife and I went through 3 wedding venues (with deposits), and we were so glad we found the Eureka Building! You’re probably wondering… what, wedding at Eureka Building? What 3 venues, are you guys crazy? Isn’t this place a start-​up space?
Yes, yes, yes. But the outdoor space here has so much potential with what you can do with it. From the green grass with tree cover, to atrium/​dance floor and helipad…
So let’s see…
3 wedding venues, why did we drop out deposit at 3 venues and change our minds.
Venue A — No parking for 260 guests. We loved the spot, but couldn’t see all of our guests willingly valeting their cars, nor did we want to pay $ 20/​car for our guests to rent a lot. With wedding budgets, every bit helps. With Eureka, parking was included and easily accommodated our guests. Many of our guests stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott nearby (8 MacArthur) which provided a great room block rate as well.
Venue B — Setup and teardown became a nightmare. With extra hourly costs if vendors needed to setup 1 hour early or an extra hour to tear down at night… everything trickled over to overtime costs from each vendor vendor easily adding up to the thousands. We lucked out with scheduling at Eureka and Taylor and team were more than helpful and accommodating.
Venue C — Eureka!
The space:
We hosted 260+ guests with long picnic style tables, and had our cocktail hour on the helipad. The space easily accommodated a photo booth, bar trailer/​beer wall, extra taco catering, and more! At no point did it feel to cramped or crowded, and parking was plentiful.
We have to give a lot of credit to Taylor from Eureka. Taylor really went the extra mile for us. When coordinating a wedding, the last thing you want is a slow or unresponsive vendor. At no point, was this the case with Taylor and Eureka. She helped us with a lot of extras here and there and made setup and teardown very easy for our vendors.
If you are looking for an outdoor wedding in Orange County, and not the traditional hotel or beach wedding, we’d highly recommend putting Eureka Building on your short list.
Vendors we used and would also recommend:
Event Coordinator /​Your Day by J and K —
Catering — Top Catering —
Photobooth /​GC Photobooth —

Flowers /​Foxtail Florals —
Hotel for Guests /​Courtyard by Marriott —

This place is amazing! Great team, spacious facilities and a really friendly collaborative vibe. They are a godsend for the Orange County entrepreneur and small business communities! Their outdoor area would be great for a wedding or related type event.

This place is alright, I guess.
What is the appropriate metric for rating office buildings?
Bathrooms? Check.
Office space? Check.
Has a nice atrium, which hosts a variety of technology related events throughout the week. Also has a really nice backyard — lots of greenery for relaxing.

Eureka Building is the coolest new event space in OC! By day, Eureka is a hub for up-​and-​coming startups, but by night, it is the most awesome event and wedding space! For any couple looking for an unconventional wedding space that is a completely blank slate with little to no restrictions such as vendors you must use, noise ordinances, etc. This is the venue for them!
I am an Orange County wedding planner and I have started recommending Eureka to all of my brides and grooms. Their outdoor space, fittingly called «The Park» because of it’s expansive grass lawn, trees, and existing string lights, holds 200+.You can bring in all of your own rentals and décor, and use all of your own vendors such as caterers and DJ’s which is so helpful! The best part? The rental fee for the entire day is one of the lowest you will find!
The cherry on top of Eureka, now one of my favorite OC venues, is Taylor Kirk, Eureka’s coordinator, who is just a doll. She is passionate about her work and runs the place with ease. She is easy to work with, and is super friendly and outgoing. Some venue coordinators can be stuffy and stand-​offish but Taylor is quite the opposite!
I would absolutely recommend Eureka to everyone looking for a space for any kind of event, and for any startup company looking for a cool work space.

The Eureka Building is incredible! Definitely the best co-​working space for entrepreneurs to be in.
It has a super modern, clean layout, tons of inspiring little spaces, and a wonderful outdoor area. It’s edgy, it’s fun, it’s new, and it gives off creative and entrepreneurial vibes that you can feel the second you walk in.
There’s a variety of unique businesses and tenants that creates a diverse co-​working community right within the building. And there’s always a new, interesting event going on downstairs. It’s awesome to be around such a cool, inspiring community!

I rented the Eureka Building’s outdoor space, called «The Park» to host my son’s wedding reception in Nov 2014. Eureka’s coordinator, Taylor Kirk, was wonderful to us. She made sure the grounds were well maintained prior to the event. She made herself available on a Saturday morning to give us access to the location, and even helped us cut flower stems to a size that would fit in the vases for 20+ tables. We had access from 10am to midnight, so there was plenty of time to set up, leave to get ready, then come back for pictures, food, and festivities. Taylor worked secretly with Bridal & Event Lounge (Tustin, CA) for equipment to arrive early, saving me & all the helpers about an hour worth of time in the morning. Israel, their maintenance coordinator, helped us all day & evening long. He and a co-​worker made sure electrical cords were placed in safe, helped us empty containers, and helped with clean up. We ran out of plastic cups at one point, and Israel supplied us with a few from Eureka’s break room, which he obviously didn’t have to do. Israel was amazing! The Park easily accommodated 130+ guests, 2 – 16 ft buffet lines, a drink station, an alcohol station, speakers, dancing, the whole sh-​bang! The rental price was very reasonable, and Taylor worked with me on a tented contingency plan in case of bad weather. If I ever have need to rent a large, outdoor space again, The Eureka Building is the *only* place I need to consider. The location is well maintained, and the people who work there are AMAZING!

Where should I begin, Eureka is an awesome tech hub that breeds innovation. I have had the pleasure of working with Taylor an numerous events that I help run Such as Startup Grind and 1 million cups. If you are an entrepreneur this is the place to be.
The venue is one of the best in Orange County and I look forward to holding many more events here.

I’m an event coordinator for a local tech group that has hosted our gatherings at Eureka Building multiple times! Their outdoor space is perfect for small and large gatherings and their space was a great atmosphere for our events that were held in the late afternoon/​evening. The staff is always helpful with our events and we’ve enjoyed working with their Coordinator — Taylor.

I host weekly events at the Eureka Building (
), and I’m super impressed with the professionalism of the staff (Taylor is FABULOUS!), the awesome parking situation (which is rare to find in a venue), the versatility of the space, and the trendiness and innovation that radiates from the venue. I’m looking forward to hosting more events there and seeing how the Eureka Building continues to evolve over time. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet!

I first became a member of the Eureka Hub, their co working space when my business outgrew the previous co working space I was at a few blocks away. I had always been fascinated as to what the Eureka Building was because I drove past it everyday.
You could describe Eureka as the «Equinox of Tech and Creative Space»
My first interaction was with their Coordinator, Taylor Kirk who is absolutely wonderful to work with. She found us the right space, made us feel at home and worked out a price and schedule that worked for us both.
Today, my business partner and I have seen incredible growth in our business after joining Eureka. We’ve brought on 4 new staff members, gotten some great funding for our business and have even moved into one of Eureka’s private offices — it was great to be able to scale our business without changing address.
And the events! It seems like every night there is another great tech event to attend right downstairs in their atrium or the park.
It’s also great for my meetup group because I can play host at a great venue just steps away from the office.
Eureka is my new home away from home and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great place that houses innovation and have neat co-​working spaces.
It also hosts Startup Grind which has very good panels of speakers. Very good for entrepreneurs to come and listen, learn, network and work.
