Photopia

This is actually a pretty nice spot for an event. I came here for a holiday party and it looked fantastic (the event planner did an excellent job).
Pros: Unique, versatile, helpful staff.
Cons: The floor in the inside is not even, the wooden deck is hard to walk on in heels, there are not many electrical outlets outside, the parking is bad so you must valet.
I would consider using this space for events.

Beautiful venue to have events (i.e: wedding reception, birthday party). I went for a friends birthday back in October and the setup was really nice. I would highly recommend it if your hosting a small private event.

I came here for a Johnnie Walker tasting event and the setup was amazing. The venue is split up into several different rooms, offering very different ambiances. Outside doesn’t have much to look at, but the foyer/​entry way (once coming up steep stairs) is very modern minimalist, all white walls, floor and ceiling. We watched a movie projected onto the white wall here and it was perfect.
The next room was setup like a lounge for our event, with couches and tables. Again, white walls, ceiling and floor, but mood lighting gave it a much more intimate feel. This room is quite large, I think we had about 40 people sparsely scattered around the room. It could have easily fit more.
Then we were led to the outdoor area, which is where this venue really shines. There are three «beach houses» (for lack of a better term), with an outdoor patio and sandy beach. For the Johnnie Walker event, each beach house had different lighting and was setup with different themed bars. There is one that is quite small, directly next to the wood patio (with wide slits, not good for stilettos). The beach house in the center is the largest, I would guess it’s at least 2000 sqft in there. The third building is long and narrow, but also very large. All the walls, floors and ceilings seem to be in white, to allow for many different themes and mood lighting to give color.
The staff that Photopia (or perhaps Johnnie Walker) hired to man the bars and keep the area clean were fantastic. The whole venue looks really clean and fresh, I was imagining all the different events I could have here. Four stars only because I’ve only experienced it as a guest, so I cannot say how they are with booking or pricing.

Really like this space. This yard in the center makes you feel good to walk on sand while at work. The rooftop deck is cool. Remember to wear shades even when in the beach house. And control yourself from eating too much of the cakes Christian leaves in the kitchen for crews to eat.
