Great place for private events. They have a full bar but it seems like they don't have any beers on tap. Food was decent compared to other event venues in the area. Plenty of tables and seats, can easily hold 100 people without being too crowded, not sure about the actual capacity though read more

Not that we go to nightclubs much anymore, but when we moved to Mountain View, we waited in line for Gelato Classico next door which we heard so much about (we are much more foodies than dancies). The gelato line was so long at 10pm that the bouncer at Opal was enticing people to come into Opal as there was no cover before 10pm. We said 'why not' and decided to pop in for a bit and grabbed a couple drinks. It's not a bad option for the younger crowd as there a limited options in MV in general. read more

Opal Event Center - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Mountain View, California

We had our Office Holiday Party at Opal. The Venue was decked out with Holiday decorations and was the perfect space for our 150 person party. We had space for a raffle, some casino tables, plenty of catered food and drinks. We also had plenty of dancing room, not that we have a lot of dancers. Everyone that came really enjoyed themselves. The DJ was helpful when it was speech/raffle announcement time. Also played a nice variety of music. Toni and the rest of the Events Team helped with all the details and made my life so much easier. From helping me 6 months in advance with pre-party ideas/recommendations to helping with executing day of. I am very happy with the choice of using this venue and the wonderful staff that helped make our Holiday Party very memorable. Thank you team at Opal!! read more

My company had an event scheduled for June, now cancelled due to COVID. Despite not having the event, I still wanted to recognize Jean Marie for being an absolute expert in her field, and being so so pleasant to work with. She has amazing people skills and knows exactly how to coordinate an event, she has so many great ideas and because of her experience and knowledge, you know you will have an amazing event! The planning went very smoothly and we were so happy to find a gem like Jean Marie. My coworker and I attended a few events they had for the public and they were all fantastic. I contacted many venues before finding this one and their professionalism truly stands out. I highly recommend Opal Event Center, the venue is very nice, but also mainly because of Jean Marie! read more

The space is perfect, super clean, very cool, and still comfortable. Wonderfully experienced and professional staff. The event was enjoyed by all. From an organizers perspective, plenty of AV infrastructure available, great location, enough parking in the area. Scarlett was just awesome, very responsive, accommodating and helpful throughout the event planning process. Just seamless. read more

We needed a nice space with a central location for our startup's (TourMega) launch party and had heard about Opal. We contacted Scarlett, told her what we were looking for, and she was very helpful in walking us through the options for our event. We chose our date and preferred times and reserved the space. Very easy and transparent process. Leading up to the event, Scarlett was extremely helpful in helping us get the word out through Opal's various marketing platforms which helped us reach a wide audience. The day of the event, Scarlett and here team made sure everything went smoothly. They were very flexible with the space and timing of everything to make sure we had what we needed. We were even able to get our logo on the screens that line the walls of the venue which made for a very personal and professional touch. Overall the night was a success and it wouldn't have been possible without Scarlett and the rest of the team at Opal helping us during what can be a very chaotic time. Thank you and we hope to have more TourMega events at Opal in the near future. read more

I LOVE Opal! I was fortunate to be introduced to Opal not from a Nightclub experience, but from a meeting place venue. I walked in, saw the beautiful and well-lit front circular bar, the wall textures and uplighting, the soft seating, the chandeliers, the HUGE LED screen, the 8 framed monitors, the upstairs private loft, the back bar and immediately was blown away. And then I met Scarlett and fell in LOVE with the place. As absolutely beautiful as Opal is, it's the staff that makes it beyond compare. I held a Fashion Show on a Thursday night during Happy hour. Scarlett and her crew made sure our guests and our models were well catered to. From a performance perspective, she went beyond the call of duty to help me figure out lighting, music set up and transition, looped video feed, etc. If you are looking for the PERFECT venue to host an event, a party, a gathering of any sort...and let's NOT forget the NightClub & DJ's...you need to see Scarlett and team at Opal. read more

The Opal team and venue is awesome! The team is super conscientious working with you and very accommodating. We used Opal for a private after-party casino event and everyone had a great time. The venue itself is also super classy and can fit up to 300 people. read more

Scarlett and Amanda are very professional and a pleasure to work with. They have clear pricing, great equipment, lots of space and an elegant decor. Scarlett was very helpful with setting up lighting, video, audio and furniture. They helped us customize our event to our liking right down to beverages that were served and pictures on the screens. OPAL is a great nightclub and an even better venue for your events. Thank you! read more

OMG this place is gorgeous! I love the setting. Located an amazingly cute little downtown...I booked my birthday with Toni. She was so helpful!! Although we had a little hiccup with the caterer almost 2 weeks before my event but she honored her commitment to ensure my choices and options were met. I loved how she organized everything. So classy chic. I loved it. And AJ the bartender he was super cool! I love working with cool, organize, relaxed people. I would totally recommend doing something fun here. Who knows I might throw another party here again!! Thanks Toni&team for making my party memorable for me and my friends!! read more

We had a phenomenal experience with OPAL Event Center. We hosted a private event here and worked with the event manager, who was extremely professional and creative. She worked with us to create a personalized event complete with signature cocktails, a custom digital photo show, and a personalized playlist. The club was set up with cocktail tables and lounge seating to create a space with an easy flow for mingling guests. OPAL has classy decor with specialized touches - like a photo booth with fun accessories. The OPAL chef worked with us to create a menu that suited our vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests. Even our vegan guests found something they liked! The DJ was excellent. He had our guests on their feet and filled the dance floor through the night. Our guests enjoyed the bottle service and the OPAL wait staff took great care of us. They made sure our guests were well hydrated throughout the event. Sincere thanks to the entire staff at OPAL for making our event memorable. I highly recommend this location for an elegant party! read more

Our High School Reunion on Oct. 20 was just fantastic! From OPAL's initial suggestions and information, their patience with my inquiries and catering choices, to the services and options available for decor, music, TV monitors, space usage...it all exceeded expectations! Sarah, your attention and availability during the event meant so much (although, as you all followed through so diligently on what you said you'd do, all went as planned!) Even the Security gentlemen at the end could not have been more helpful and pleasant! You have a beautiful venue and a wonderful staff. Our hats off to you! read more

I had the dream 40th birthday party at Opal in April!!! For years I knew I wanted a huge red carpet themed birthday bash when I turned 40. I looked at well over a dozen spaces and fell in love with the beautiful event space at Opal and the management team. From day one, I worked with the owner, Sarah, who was in constant communication with me, took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, helped me work in my budget, and made the event perfect. I am a former restaurant manager and event planner, and I have very high event standards. I was hesitant to let Opal do all of the set up and decorating since I am a perfectionist and did not know what to expect. But - I dropped everything off the day before and just hoped for the best - the outcome was more amazing than I could have imagined. My guests are still talking about what a memorable party was. From start to finish there is nothing I would have changed or asked them to do differently. I would definitely suggest this venue for a party! read more

We rented Opal for a dance video shoot with about 20 people, and it was a perfect space. The setting has a vintage and opulent speakeasy vibe, with fantastic party lights and LED screens for a very dynamic atmosphere. Scarlett was a breeze to work with and incredibly responsive, she really took great care of us and was invested in helping our shoot succeed. And the location is super-convenient, with a parking lot in the back and being only about 2 blocks from the Caltrain station & transit hub. Next time I need a beautiful, private event space, I will definitely look to book Opal! read more

We have used OPAL the past two years for corporate holiday parties and have had such a great time. It is such a perfect space, it's not too big, and not too small, perfect to medium to small offices. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with any/all needs you may have. Having helped slightly with the set-up/involvement, I was pleased to see they have the ability to alter the setting to whatever event you're having. They really know how to hold a great private event. I highly recommend OPAL to anyone looking to book. read more

Private bar / restaurant rooms are hard to come by in Mountain View. When I was tasked with finding a private space in Mountain View for a happy hour, 50 people I balked...thankfully, I came across OPAL in Mountain View, right on Castro street! What a gem--Scarlett was SO easy to work with. The space is very nice, and although it has the capacity for 200+ people, didn't feel too large. Her go-to caterer did a great job with appetizers. Scarlett / OPAL was very flexible with with pricing and we found something to fit our budget. Scarlett and staff were very gracious the day-of hosting the event. Our guests were very well taken care of, the cocktails / drinks were great, and we really couldn't be happier :) I highly recommend OPAL for group events! read more

We had the pleasure of hosting an event for around 200 people at Opal after our company announced we were being acquired and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the venue. I was blown away by the level of service provided by Scarlett and her team in the planning and execution of our event. We had to move the date of our party several times and Scarlett was accommodating and helpful every time we had to reschedule. She made the process extremely fluid and helped with making our event a huge success. The price was reasonable and the process was transparent which is hard to find in event planning! We were able to bring in our own decorations to make the space more personal and also had our own images projected on the screens throughout the venue. We asked for a couple of special cocktails to be made and the bartenders were more than happy to accommodate our request. The space is well decorated and maintained. I had reservations when first booking since it seemed like it was branded as a nightclub. However, after visiting the venue during the day it was clear that it could be adapted to fit whatever event we needed it to. Most people stood but there were also plenty of areas to sit and chat as well as a quieter area upstairs. We hosted our party from 12-5pm and then many people went out for drinks/dinner in the area immediately following. The onsite catering was also delicious! I haven't heard a single complaint from anyone at the company which is a difficult feat to accomplish (especially in tech). I HIGHLY recommend using Opal as an event space. I would book the venue again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to work with Scarlett and team again in the future! read more

I booked a private event through Scarlett and it was wonderful! OPAL met all of our needs and was so flexible. Sometimes it's hard to find reliable event planners but Scarlett took great care of us. She also connected us with an amazing caterer, which was a huge help. The venue is gorgeous, unique and can accommodate a diverse range of events. I love the upstairs balcony- super cool and a nice touch for a quiet space or VIP area if the main room is packed. They have a 360 bar in the center of the room, which creates that wow-factor as guests enter for the first time. The first half of the venue would be perfect if you had a smaller group (20-40 people), but the whole venue can probably hold 300 or so. The dance floor is pretty big and they've got a cool elevated DJ booth. Super fun secret: the mirrors on the walls are actually TV screens and you can get logos/special messages up there read more

My team and I just had our first holiday party here and it was a hit! Scarlett was so great and easy to work with. She was able to get all my request fulfilled and the space looked amazing. her team was friendly, super helpful and professional. Despite my sometimes crazy emails to Scarlett, she always responded with information that was helpful in getting our event goals accomplished. I will defiantly book with the opal events team again. read more

Excellent space for a party! Staff could not be more helpful and accommodating! We had our company Christmas Party here, and the General Manager, Scarlett, made it SO easy for us. She is unflappable and knows her stuff. We had everything we needed, with excellent responsiveness with regards to requests. It was a great party and I didn't need to worry about anything. In-house DJ was great, too. read more

I was blown away with the level of service we received from the team at OPAL. We are not local, (from Ohio) and planned an event for 30+ people at OPAL on a Wednesday night. The team was great and made everything easy for us. They were very flexible and accommodating to all our needs. The venue is perfect for group events. It has an awesome vibe and the layout was ideal for the type of function we were having (networking reception with small speaking program). The service was great and the vendor they worked with for the food was fantastic. I would recommend OPAL to anyone for any event they are having. Thank you Scarlett and your team. Well done! read more

The Company I work for put me in charge of setting up a Holiday Party for two of our larger offices, about 180 people total. I looked around at so many different venues and was immediately intrigued by the look of Opal! After emailing back and forth with thier Events Director Scarlett (who was more than accommodating to all my questions, requests, changes in the time, amount of guests, staffing needs, etc.... the list goes on.) I decided that Opal was the winner!! I was able to arrange a meeting with Scarlett in person closer to the event date to check out the venue as well as meet Chef Hassan of La Fontaine who would be catering the event. The service and attention to detail as far as the special diet needs of some of our guests made things to much easier on me at the party planner. Not to mention that the food was great! I arrived to Opal early the night of the party to set up our center pieces that I made. I was so happy to see just how spectacular everything looked! I could not have been more pleased. We used thier DJ, who was great, and we used thier recommended photo booth company (Tapsnap1050) which was a HUGE hit! So much fun playing with all the photos! Post event I have had nothing but super positive feedback about the excellent food (Thank you Hassan!!!), the great service from the bartenders and door crew, and the look and feel of the whole event in general! I would absolutely recommend Opal and thier staff for your next party! read more

LOVE OPAL - What a beautiful venue! Hosted an event here for the first time & was beyond happy. The level of service provided was exceptional.

The entire OPAL team worked to ensure our event was successful, from the manager, bartenders, security to hostesses. I highly recommend this venue and will certainly consider using it again in the future. read more

Outstanding event - Great team at Opal I am the organizer of the FrancoFun and we had our first event at Opal on May 26 2016.. It has been an outstanding evening with great feedback from all my guests. Most were French and international so difficult group to please.. We were a total of 200 with catering .. Sarah the owner and Scarlett, Event director perfectly orchestrated the event ..from the food to the waiter to the security guard or the door check-in everything was flawless.. Not only are they very professional but also great people to talk to.. We had a great time, and I have been asked ..When is the next FrancoFun event, we have not had that much fun in the bay area in a very long time??.. I think Opal team and management were great contributors to the success of this private event.. I cannot recommend more using their venue for you private event... It was really fun...

Sarah rocks!! When I was in search of a venue for a 40th birthday, she saved the day and answered all my questions in a speedy and thoughtful manner. She works around your budget and offers amazing suggestions. I really hope to use her venue one day. Outstanding customer service experience and beautiful venue. read more

Our company used Opal for our 80's Prom themed holiday party and it was perfect. The venue is very spacious with plenty of room around the bar, seating/tables near the dance floor, and a quiet area upstairs. They have framed screens hanging along the walls and we were able to have slideshows of 80's themed movies on all of the screens. Would use again and recommend to others. read more

We just had my husband's 50th birthday party at Opal with 100 guests. OMG!!!! What a blast! I can't enough about the venue and the team. Our experience was beyond expectations and our guests were blown away. Scarlett made the whole process incredibly easy and suggested neat adds-on to make it even better. The entire staff was super nice and made everyone feel pampered. I would highly recommend Opal for an over the top, super fun experience! I couldn't ask for more. read more

We booked a private event for our company and ~150 people. Scarlett was extremely responsive and helpful with various pricing options throughout the process. We've done a few events there over the last few years ranging in size from 30-150+ and won't hesitate to go back in the future. They were able to project all sorts of different logos and images throughout the space and even accommodated an outside vendor that brought in some casino/card tables for a raffle at the end of the night. read more

We celebrated a 40th birthday at OPAL last weekend and I have only positive things to say! Derek was super helpful throughout the whole process. We hosted about 60 people on a Saturday from 6:30-9:30. The venue is very attractive, we didn't need additional decorations. A slideshow played throughout the club on different screens, making it super personalized and special for the birthday girl. We had signature drinks, mixed drinks, wine and beer with the cost being very reasonable. Derek worked with us to make sure that our hopes were met within our budget. After 9:30 the public started coming in, but we were welcome to stay and partied away for the better part of the night! For the first part we brought our own music and when the DJ started spinning at 9:30 he was extremely perceptive and played songs for a good hour and a half that kept most of our guests dancing before switching to tunes for the younger crowd. We catered our event with Cascal and Derek and Cascal worked together seamlessly with set up and take down. Birthday girl had the best time ever and all guest enjoyed themselves as well. read more
