The Venue
Looking for a unique event space in downtown Bakersfield?
The Collective is a newly renovated event space located in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. The indoor space can accommodate up to 200 people and is perfect for any event. We offer set-up and clean-up services, along with tables and chairs for all events. The high ceilings and neutral décor can easily pair with any theme. It truly is a blank canvas that can instantly transform into a beautiful event.
The outdoor patio space is a perfect area to compliment the indoor space for any event. The outdoor patio has beautiful olive trees, bistro lighting, and landscaping that creates an Italian garden feel. This space can accommodate up to 250 people for any of your event needs.
The Collective has one goal in mind, which is to provide a beautiful canvas for any client to use to transform their vision into an amazing event.
We love planning events!

Do you have access to vendors?
Yes, we have access to many vendors In the community and are able to offer you a full event design package to execute the event of your dreams.
Can we bring in our own alcohol?

What are the rules and guidelines for decorating?
Most decorative items, such as candles, balloons, backdrops, and displays, are permitted to be used in the venue. Since we have high ceilings, you may even bring in bounce houses. Any tape, adhesive, etc. that you would like to use on the walls must be approved by The Collective. Glitter and confetti are not permitted for use as these items are hard to clean up.
When is the balance due?
The balance is due in full 30 days before the date of the event.
Do you have a kitchen for use with catering?
We do not have an on-site kitchen. Your caterer will have to plan for prepping and cooking off-site and bringing chaffing dishes and other means of keeping food warm and/or cold.
Do we provide linens?
Yes, we provide linens for all packages except for “Space only” packages.
Do we require an insurance policy?
Yes, a one-day General Certificate of Liability is required. You may purchase this through your own personal insurance, or through:

Is security required?
Security is not required, but if preferred by the client The Collective can set up the security for you for an additional fee or you are able to set up your own security. We just ask that you give the information of the security company that you will be using to The Collective.
Can we store rental items at the venue prior to and after the event?
Depending on when your event is scheduled, there may be other events prior to and after your event, and storage on-site is limited. This must be discussed and approved with The Collective prior to the event.
