    We hosted our baby shower this past Saturday at their Livermore space and it was everything I envisioned! From the inquiry stage to the days leading up to the event, everyone I had been in contact with was an absolute pleasure - prompt replies, easy booking and straightforward contract. Because the venue comes furnished and aesthetically decorated, I didn't have to do much. I loved how much natural light flows into the room. Received many compliments from family and friends! I'm definitely planning to be a returning client :) Highly recommend

    Such a beautiful space with the friendliest people. I've been wanting an excuse to hold something here and decided it'd be a great spot for my daughter to have her birthday. It has a private parking lot(with shared business who are closed on weekends) and it's located as a great midpoint between Central Valley and the Bay Area where most of our family is from. Figuring out a date was a bit of process emailing back and forth, but we were able to settle on a date and they were so accommodating and prompt with their responses. Marie was amazing! Come day of, she was there bright and early to let me into the space and walked me through all the procedural stuff. My guests loved the space and my daughter's birthday was a success! Thank you so much!

    Perfect event space for our Baby shower! The space was super cute, modern, and clean and I barely needed to decorate the place. Joann was easy to work with and recommended vendors which was super helpful! I would definitely re book this space for my next event.

    First time renting a venue and had a wonderful experience with the Good Morning Maxwell team. The Castro Valley location was perfect for our bridal shower. It's spacious with modern decor. Definitely a great venue for events!

    Had two great events with Good Morning Maxwell. Highly recommend this amazing venue. Great location! Spacious! Everything you need is all in one spot.

    The balloon decor fit perfectly on the wall next to the couch. The frame was 6'x6'.

    I had my baby shower here and am very happy with it overall. It is nicely decorated where you don't have to do much if you don't want to but you can totally bring your own party decor and personalize it more. We had balloon decor on one wall, 6'x6' and it fit perfectly in the area. We had about 65 guests and set up 7 tables banquet style, plus utilized their tables and it was perfect, it never felt crowded (which was a worry of mine). The bathroom was spacious and clean. We had a small area for kids activities and 3 toddler bumper cars (with remote controls for parents) and that immediately made the venue kid friendly. I had the venue for a full day and my only regrets are giving myself only 1 hour to set up and not taking more pictures! We loved it and got a lot of compliments. If you are on the fence about it, go walk by it or reach out to the owners to get a tour. We also got ideas on the set up from their IG page!

    We hosted our son's first birthday at Good Morning Maxwell - Livermore and we had such a great experience! We had a slight hiccup regarding the timing of the party, but Joanne her team were great at making sure we were taken care of to ensure everything was smooth the day of! Overall, it was the perfect venue for our son's special day, and we highly recommend it for anyone planning a memorable celebration!

    This place is amazing and I can't wait to plan my next event here. I booked Good Morning Maxwell for my bridal shower and the whole process of booking this place was fast and easy. I had another event venue ghost me after confirming a slot so I had to find another venue ASAP and that's when I found this place. The owner got back to me the same day I made an inquiry and gave me a tour of the place. It's beautifully decorated with many great amenities such as a stereo for music. They let me move around the furniture so I could fit in my own decorations for my party. It was definitely a great experience having my event here. All my guest loved it!

    If you are looking for a venue for any kind of events like bridal showers, parties, workshops, classes, and many more, look no more! Good Morning Maxwell is the place to be! I've had experienced multiple events with GMM. I've attended classes and workshops and have been part of the markets and pop up events and all I can say that is that this place of gathering is awesome!!! It's located at Downtown Livermore. It has plenty of parking spaces. I love the facade with the red bricks! When you walk in to this high ceiling infrastructure, you will feel the welcoming vibe of the place. It has plenty of light coming from the big windows. It is very spacious! The modern furniture goes well with any kind of event. There's plenty of seating and tables for big or small groups, comfy couch and stools with style. Joanne, the owner is very accommodating especially with client needs. She has all the answers in planning any kind of event like the vendors from flowers, drinks, food to favors and even photographers. She can even help plan your event as she has tons of experience. With her, everything goes very smoothly. Will for sure plan my next event with her again!

    If you are looking for a beautiful event space, Good Morning Maxwell is the perfect spot! The venue itself is beautifully decorated! It has a boho/modern vibe with all the pretty furnitures available. Lots of tables and chairs for guests to lounge. We had an amazing baby shower at this location and parking was easy for all of our guests. Marie and Joanne were both quick to respond to all questions and provided insightful recommendations for both balloon decorations and catering! The entire process from booking the event space till the day of the event was stress free. We highly recommend Good Morning Maxwell as an event space! Thank you Joanne and Marie!

    This was a last minute find and I couldn't have been more impressed with the quick response time of the owner Joanne to get back with me and coordinate a date and time to meet and discuss what I needed. The facility was perfect for what I needed to pull together a quick graduation party for a small amount of people. So elegant with the perfect setting made for an easy set up with minimal decorations. My guest were so impressed with this venue and the location and gave me so many compliments. Thank you "Good Morning Maxwell" for being there when I needed you so that I could give my daughter who graduated as a Registered Nurse the best memorable party for all her hard work.

From the very beginning, Diane went above and beyond to help me plan this special day. She answered my many questions, worked through every accommodation with me, and made the entire booking process seamless. Her kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made me feel like she was just as invested in the celebration as I was. By the end of the planning process, I had unofficially promoted her to honorary bridesmaid status. When we arrived, Valeria and Kayla were fantastic. They immediately jumped into "surprise mode," graciously playing along by checking us in at the host stand and escorting us to our table without giving anything away. Their teamwork helped keep the bride-to-be completely unsuspecting until she walked into a room full of family and friends. Valeria also accommodated my request to play a millennial throwback playlist, and every hit had us singing along--it was the perfect soundtrack for the afternoon. Our server, Skylar, was equally wonderful. She made excellent wine recommendations, was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and truly made us feel at home. Even after our reserved time had ended, she warmly invited us to stay and continue enjoying ourselves. What was supposed to be a two-hour brunch turned into nearly four hours of laughter, wine, and celebrating, and we never once felt like we were inconveniencing anyone. The beautiful winery, delicious brunch, excellent wine, and stunning atmosphere were everything I had hoped for. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the people. Diane, Valeria, Kayla, Skylar, and the entire Murrieta's Well team created an experience that felt warm, personal, and genuinely special. Planning a surprise from start to finish can be stressful, but thanks to this incredible team, all I had to do was enjoy watching my best friend's reaction. Thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back!

The Barn was the best fit for us. Things to note about the Barn: -There is an old wooden bar that you can move depending on where you want it -250 person capacity -There is a dusty smell to the Barn as it's older, with candles we didn't notice it -The Barn isn't super clean, there is a little bit of dust and cobwebs, but it is a barn afterall -The bathrooms are pretty minimalistic, the men's room actually doesn't have a door -There are big white panels on the indoor walls of the Barn which look great with uplighting -They make you have security, but it wasn't prohibitive or even noticeable -There is plenty of parking -They don't allow kegs -It is better for a night reception, as the night makes the Barn's flaws less noticeable -There is a minimal kitchen for a catering company to use -We rented chairs, tables, and a dance floor, rather than using what came with the Barn -They don't clean, so make sure you arrange for cleanup Overall it was perfect for our wedding, I just don't think it would be perfect for everyone's wedding. The LARPD staff were very easy to work with and we got our full deposit refunded without a problem. I'd recommend the Barn hands down for someone looking for rustic on a budget and at night :).

I had about 160 +/- guests and if you aren't hiring anyone I'd suggest to add about 4 hrs. before the start to setup all those tables and chairs that is provided by the venue. Great service before, during and after the event, however there were 2 issues I encountered. 1- we got double-booked hence the party being on Friday but we did get compensated for it. 2- i was told no alcohol and the security guards were like really?! In the end though because of the rainy weather it was meant to be because of everyone's safety. If you are creative this is the place for you (personally I'm not). I'm use to walking into hotel banquet rooms and then off to have fun so unless you hire a staff or have a great support system like me this is a good choice. We embraced the walls. Rather than covering it up our awesome DJ lighted it up did then popped it with a monogram. Overall yea I'd rent here again. The kitchen was great and we just added a little bathroom necessity basket for the guests to use. Have guests bring a jacket because it can get cold but since we were all dancing and having fun we warmed up quick!

The combination of melty cheese and the chipotle sauce was incredible. It was packed with flavor without being overwhelming. My mom ordered a mocha, and I treated myself to a mimosa to celebrate. Both were delicious, but what really made the experience special was the thoughtful birthday surprise. Instead of the typical cupcake or scoop of ice cream, they brought me a little "Birthday Brie" with crackers, fresh fruit, and honey. It was such a unique touch, and since Brie is my favorite cheese, I was genuinely so excited. Before we left, I also grabbed a Biscoff cookie. It was huge, soft, and absolutely delicious. I expected it to be super sweet, but it had the perfect balance, which I loved. We arrived right when they opened at 8:00 a.m., and by the time we were finishing up, the café had really started to fill up. It's easy to see why! Great food, thoughtful service, and such a cozy atmosphere. I definitely won't wait so long before coming back.

More excellent I would say was the surprised that my bestie, yelpette Alexandra B., had in hand for me: a historical place, very close to downtown Livermore, in the middle of the way to her home and with vineyards (of course) even for the ones like me who are not into wines too much. I care more about the landscape of these places. 'Landscape is bigger than grape' is my motto (just invented, but sounds cool). Seriously, this is not a wine tasting place but was a site were vine was bottle and in the back of the 2-3 buildings you can see the names of the brands they bottled and years and in what international competitions they participated and all those anecdotes. I saw this like an ideal place to take perfect photo shoots in a very hot and sunny day. I loved walking by the vineyards pretending I am doing some work. They are kind enough to let you wander freely (and free parking too). They have tours but my friend and I preferred the freedom to browse on our own, but really appreciate and value (as a volunteer for several causes myself) the work of these precious senior volunteers dressed in Victorian attire. The baby carriage conquered by heart (I should have brought one of my toys to put in these!). All so lovely, including the poster you get as gift for visiting. Awesome treatment to the visitors. I would love to go back with my picnic basket and enjoy the premises. Definitively I will visit Ravenswood whenever they do one of those historical events I saw in their activities calendar.
