Naked Kitchen is a private Victorian house in San Francisco's Mission District that hosts client dinners, off-site meetings, holiday parties and micro weddings. The event space of 1,400 square feet seats 40 for dinner and takes up to 65 for a reception. The address is 945 Valencia Street, between Liberty Street and 20th Street.
Seminars and company events
The house is used for corporate dinners with private chefs, team building, holiday parties and off-site meeting space. Cooking classes, mixology classes and wine, cheese and chocolate tastings are also offered, which gives a team a shared activity beyond a meal. The venue has hosted product launches, brand activations, pop-ups, album release parties and photo and video shoots. Because the whole house is private, a group has exclusive use of the facilities during its booking.
Weddings and receptions
The house is offered for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and micro weddings. An on-site event planning team supports the day, and the house works with chefs, florists, photographers and videographers. Outside caterers, vendors and BYOB are allowed. The three bedrooms upstairs can serve as a base for a wedding weekend.
Rooms and capacities
The event space measures 1,400 square feet. Capacity is 40 for a seated dinner and up to 65 for a reception. An outdoor patio can be used during a reception and closes at 8 pm. Day use runs 8 am to 3 pm and night use 4 pm to 10 pm, with additional hours based on availability.
A rental includes an event manager, cleaning, exclusive use of the facilities, tables, chairs and cocktail tables, plateware, cutlery, linens and stemware, Sonos speakers throughout the space and high-speed wi-fi. A/V and DJ equipment are available for an additional fee.
Accommodation
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a floor-to-ceiling marble bathroom. The whole house can be rented as a stay, or used as a base after an event downstairs.
Catering
The venue pairs dinners with private chefs, several of them with Michelin-level experience. For a venue-only rental, a group can bring its own caterer and drinks, or ask for a full-service staff. The chef's kitchen has a double Wolf range, a Sub-Zero fridge, a wine cooler and a bar.
History and setting
The building is a restored Queen Anne Victorian in the heart of the Mission District, described by the venue as a place where history and house party meet.
