The best corporate event planners in San Francisco

This list is by Offsiteio, which appears first. Every other firm says on its own site that it plans corporate events, retreats or offsites in San Francisco or the Bay Area. We checked them in October 2026 and linked each page; let us know if anything has changed.

Bay Area companies run a lot of offsites, and the city has plenty of event firms to match. For a San Francisco team that wants an offsite or retreat planned end to end and priced as one itemized number per person, start with Offsiteio.

For in-city events, Shift + Alt, ABCey, Make It Mariko, Rocket Science and 611 Events are local agencies, and Entire Productions has planners based in SF. The Offsite Co. runs a page aimed at Bay Area startups.
