Meaningful gatherings for everyone.
Especially the hosts.
Pro-level guides
For anyone who needs to run events, and doesn’t want events to run them:
After 12 years and almost 2,000 events, our team at Cookhouse has put together the systems, guides, and frameworks that have successfully run gatherings of up to 40 people.
Let’s get this party started.
Two digital courses are available for purchase.
If you are planning an event for around 10-40 people, check out The Event Planning Guide.
If you are opening or running a private event space, check out The Event Space Playbook.
Thanks for your consideration. We hope these resources are tremendously helpful for you.
Word on the street
Media and testimonials while Cookhouse was an event venue and planning service from 2011-2022
“If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then Cookhouse is, well, all heart. It’s a creative concept, but it’s innovation for the sake of getting back to something a little simpler.”
— California Home & Design
“When Jen Wu, a Boulette's Larder alum and a music industry veteran, embarked on her mission to create Cookhouse (a venue where people can come together for events, dinner parties, and cooking classes), she was intent on finding out what it was "that made people feel comfortable at the table."
— Remodelista
“The Cookhouse team is awesome! My planning experience with them was professional and smooth from start to finish! Jen and her team are warm and incredibly accommodating. I wasn't able to attend the event but I had the utmost faith and trust that they'd do everything in their power to make my team's event a huge success, and it was!
Thank you x infinity Cookhouse!”
— Toni F., 2021
“I feel lucky to have been connected with the Cookhouse team. The event assistants I’ve worked with have been, without exception, professional, kind and thoughtful. And efficient! I get so much done together with them! They have great instincts for how to organize, run and breakdown an event, often knowing what needs to be done before being asked to do it.”
— B. B., Genentech

Enjoy the process, too.
Event planning, but not an event planner?
Through years of experience, we’ve streamlined the process for coordinating an event; no need to reinvent the wheel. The Event Planning Guide helps you prioritize, avoid common missteps, and get the right people involved.
With the practicalities handled, you’ll be able to focus on what really matters. Enjoy your time and your people. Then do it again, early and often.
Offering a space for private event rentals?
Building upon common topics covered while consulting other event spaces, we wrote The Event Space Playbook.
The Playbook is both a quick-start guide and a collection of guardrails, specific to venues, for you and your team to 1) host events in ways that you choose, 2) mitigate risks, and 3) have fun as a variety of gatherings start to call your place home.
