I had my bachelorette party at Pickle Pop and it was honestly the best decision I made. We had all three courts to ourselves for a few hours, and the whole thing felt so fun, personal, and easy. Most of my friends hadn’t played much pickleball before, so one of the Pickle Pop pros ran a quick intro clinic while the rest of us jumped into some games and a super fun tournament that the staff helped organize.
We chose the all inclusive package which included catering, and open bar, and all of the equipment we need. We were able to hang out in their bar area and lounge in between games, but we spent most of our time on the courts. The space is super cute and perfect for photos, but more than that—it was just a great vibe. Chill, playful, and something totally different than your typical bachelorette night. Everyone had a blast!

The best place for a pickleball party! I have - on multiple occasions - rented out all three courts at Pickle Pop for a bash with my girlfriends. I play a lot - but they don't! And what a perfect way to introduce them to dinking and smashing!
The all-over pink decor + paddle wall make for the best photos - though don't be afraid to be a bit extra and bring your own photo booth set-up! There is comfy seating and lots of space for food if you opt to have your party catered. And an in-house bar with a few drink options if you are having a 21+ event.
The staff is great, too! I've become a regular player here in large part because of them. They will make your event easy and - if you ask nicely (+ pay their very reasonable rates) - might even help teach your crew!
The location is great! Pickle Pop is on the 3rd Street Promenade and steps away from a great brunch spot, bars and shopping. Plus easy public parking around, too!

We can’t thank Pickle Pop enough for helping us create such an incredible experience for our engagement party! We wanted something a little more interactive and fun for our guests, and this was the perfect fit. The staff went above and beyond to make the event feel personal and special and we had the best time.
Their canned cocktails were top notch, and they even helped us create a custom cocktail, which was such a fun touch. The venue itself is super cute and in a great location—our guests loved being able to explore Santa Monica afterward.
If you’re looking for a less traditional, more activity-based option for an engagement party (or any celebration!), this is the spot. It was so much fun and makes me want to get engaged all over again. Thank you, Pickle Pop!

I’m already married, but if I wasn't I'd be here for my bridal shower as well!
We hosted our baby shower at Pickle Pop and it was absolutely perfect. The space itself is hip and stylish — exactly the vibe we wanted, and our guests loved it! There was plenty of room for us to eat, lounge, and play.
The team made the whole process easy… Parking was convenient in a structure nearby, we were able to load decorations from the back entrance, and didn’t have to cart in any drinks or food because it was all provided (we did bring in some additional dessert and appetizers ourselves).
What truly made the day special was the staff. They were so friendly, helpful, and full of positive energy, making the entire process seamless from planning to the day itself. We had a range of people from those who never heard of pickleball to seasoned players, and everyone had fun. The onsite coach gave an excellent lesson to beginners and even jumped in for games with our advanced group!
Because everything ran so smoothly, we could actually relax and enjoy the celebration with our friends and family. I cannot recommend Pickle Pop enough for a fun and truly memorable event.
