Donworth Event Center

I had my wedding here not too long ago (9÷19÷15) and absolutely loved the venue! I needed a place that was in San Francisco, transportation accessible (a lot of our guests did not drive), free parking, and where I could bring in my own caterer. Donworth fit the match! We booked the venue for the whole day and with it came with security, venue/​event coordinator, use of all the facilities (stage, kitchen, bar, bathroom, tables, chairs, AV equipment). I had a geek wedding with a food truck, milk tea, and popcorn chicken. The food truck (KoJa Kitchen) had a perfect location right outside the hall, our boba caterer (Bobabia of San Mateo) made full use of the kitchen, and we had our own refreshments bar. Because we had the venue since 8am, my team of friends and my linen lady (Banquet
) came in early to help decorate. By the time I arrived around 2pm, most of our stuff was already set up and all we had to do with set up our photo booth (PhotoBeats) and finish some minor décor.
I had about 220 guests and everyone had a lot of fun. I also had a non-​alcoholic wedding but because I had a lot of activities for people to do, people forgot it was non-​alcoholic. I will definitely be post up more photos once I get them from my photographer.
Shay is an amazing venue/​event coordinator and we were happy to work with her. Leading up to our big day, we finalized the floor plan with Shay and walked through the venue to plan out where we would place certain things. The venue staff set up the room on the day before our event. We were able to drop off a lot of our equipment and stuff on Friday so that our team could set up early on Saturday, Shay was able to help us lock our stuff in one of the storage rooms. She was on site from 8am to midnight on the day of our wedding.
Make sure you have plenty of signage if you’re having a event here! I had a few guests who got lost but in the end was able to find it.
Overall, I highly recommend Donworth Event Center if you’re looking to have a wedding our a big event!

We chose this venue for our daughters bday and we were so impressed. Shay (the event coordinator and who oversees the venue) is an amazing person to work with. From the beginning to the end, she was very prompt in responding to our questions and letting us view the venue on numerous occasions. Our guest were very pleased with the venue and how great of a hidden gem it is in San Francisco. The venue is very well kept as well as the table/​chairs, huge kitchen and the stage area. We will definitely be holding events here again as well as referring to our family and friends.

We held annual school auction at Donworth this year for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience, from beginning to end. This hall is so versatile! It’s a beautiful space, and they are rigorous about protecting it, so it doesn’t have dinged up corners and holes in the walls. Shay, the event coordinator, is soooo helpful and accommodating. We had everything we needed. We will definitely come back to Donworth again!

I had my 18^th birthday party here on March 11,2012. I love the hall a lot! I had so much fun and the place was just perfect! The hall is huge and the kitchen and bathrooms are very clean. Everything was worth it ! The event coordinator is so kind compared to others i have met. I totally recommend it ! :)

I recently had my 18^th birthday party here on November 5, 2011. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! IT IS HUGE! The bathrooms are very neat, nice kitchen, and has a lovely bar for refreshments. Perfect place to throw a party. It has a stage for the dj. The event coordinator was very kind and helpful. She always came by and asked us if we needed anything. Overall, I had a great time at that hall. I really recommend it!
