Why Escape The Routine?

Escape The Routine is in the business of creating moments that we hope define peoples memories for years to come. Our goal is to help our guests and clients seamlessly get lost in the moment with the people they love and to meet new people along the way. The business was founded in 2016 as an event promotion and production company throwing pop up parties in oceanside caves, vacant office spaces, train stations, and other unique venues we could get our hands on. Since then we’ve launched Blank Cassette Music an emerging artist concert series in San Francisco often debuting some of the next great talent’s first shows in the city. We’ve also launched Solaura Fest which is an absolute dream of a 3 night camping music festival in California.

Since the pandemic started we’ve utilized our event production skills from these projects to take on corporate event production specializing in employee engagement events both in person and virtually.
