We are still floating after our wedding at The Oviatt. This venue is an absolute hidden gem — our guests couldn’t believe that such a stunning Art Deco jewel was sitting right in the middle of downtown LA. The space is so gorgeous on its own that we barely had to bring in any florals, which not only saved us a ton of money but let the venue’s incredible character really shine. Gabe, Lindsay, and the entire team were phenomenal to work with. We asked a lot of questions throughout the process, and they were patient, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. On the day of, every staff member helped ensure everything ran smoothly, letting us just relax and enjoy all the moments that mattered. The Oviatt delivered on beauty, service, and unforgettable vibes — we couldn’t be more grateful, and we’d choose this venue again in a heartbeat.

SmogShoppe was everything we could have imagined and more. I literally said to my husband after our design meeting that I hate that we would only go to the venue one last time for our big day. Working with Dana was a DREAM, she was so kind, so fun, so on top of it, I just want to be her friend IRL to be honest! The day of, everything flowed so well. Our guests positively loved the space and the vibe of SmogShoppe, we had 75 guests and everyone loved that the space felt so open.

Millwick was such a dream venue for us — we loved look and feel, the location, the courtyard bar and the bridal suite (non-negotiable for getting ready and taking a few minutes to ourselves among the chaos). The folks at Marvimon were so on top of everything and easy to work with. They checked in with us every step of the way, answered our questions, filled in the blanks where we needed, and provided us an amazing list of vendor recommendations that added up to a perfect night. And all our guests were comfortable (even in 90-degree weather) because of the venue's inside/outside capabilities. We couldn't have asked for better. (Photos by Simply Best Photography)

The venue is fully amenitized, and we provide experienced, professional site management plus a commercial kitchen for client-selected catering teams. Built in the 1920’s in an area that has long served as the city’s seafood market east of Downtown, the building has lived many lives in its century of use; it’s been a fish and oyster company, an ice cream factory, and a commercial site for everything from far east imports to marijuana cultivation. This quirky history subtly informed our re-invention of the space.

The Grass Room is such an amazing space to host a wedding or any other special celebration. It's a literal concrete jungle—as it has an awesome tropical green house vibe, while being located in the heart of downtown LA. I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating a wedding here, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Dana, Clare, and the rest of the Marvimon team made the whole planning process so seamless for me and my clients. The venue itself needs little to no decor, as it is gorgeous on its own—but we had a lot of fun personalizing it to create a fun and unique vibe for the bride and groom's special day. If you're looking for an original, out-of-the-box venue to host your next special event, look no further than the Grass Room DTLA! Uniquely stunning space, awesome staff, and nothing but good vibes!

The Revery was everything we could've asked for in a venue and MORE. What initially drew us to the Revery was it being modern, yet still warm blank canvas. Compared to other blank canvas venues we saw in LA that were too industrial, too old, or just not our style, the Revery was the best base we could find. For our wedding, we used the upstairs indoor area for our ceremony and dinner, and used the outdoor area for our cocktail hour and mini-festival/dance floor. It was really cool to have the option to create 2 different kind of vibes and styles within the same venue and night. I highly recommend the Revery's bar service, where you can purchase your own alcohol and they provide the mixers service on the day of the wedding. You pretty much can't go wrong on any of The Revery's preferred vendors, we really liked working with everyone. For our wedding, we worked with Gigi from Sincerely Us Events for event coordination, Gray from Moon Jar Design for florals, Kapsule Co for photo & video, Chubby Fingers for catering, Stage labs for lighting, Dart Collective for our DJ, makeup from Beautifully Redeemed, Go Cakes for cake, and Wild House Ink for our lantern wall fabrication. We highly recommend them all! I honestly thought I'd be super stressed out on the day of the wedding, but I was CHILLIN. It is so nice to have vendors you trust, and be able to know that you're in good hands so you can just sit back and enjoy what you've put together. I also want to give a specific shoutout to the Revery owner, Monica, who was a joy to work with and was so accommodating, and answered our many questions very quickly. She did so many things big and small to make sure our wedding was setup for success, which we really appreciate since her experience and high attention to detail was pretty critical for us to plan our own wedding. It really felt like Monica wanted the best for us and our wedding. We'd love to host more events in the Revery some day, but til then, I highly recommend it for your event!

We had our wedding at the Lake Temescal Beach house, and had to wrap up by early evening - so we needed an afterparty venue! Phoenix is right down the street and turned out to be a perfect fit. We rented their gallery space as well as the main space, which gave our guests the opportunity for some scenery change and conversation - and everyone stayed til we had to kick them out at midnight! Lighting, decor, size and shape of the space - all were totally perfect. Saskia was accommodating and eager to host us; she was enthusiastic about our plan and gave us great recommendations - how to set up the space, vendors to bring in (the taco truck was essential), and fun props and essentials for totally reasonable rental rates. We never felt pushed, upsold, or like we needed to shy away from the kind of party we wanted to have. We had a great DJ set and karaoke til midnight. Even our photographer who said he'd stay til nine was still dancing and partying when we gave everyone the boot. So fun. Highly recommend.

Green Gables by Trademark Venues was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful - April Sosa in particular was amazing to work with. The venue itself was beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-organized, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without stress or worry. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of both emotionally and physically, and they were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and we would highly recommend Green Gables to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free venue for their big day.

I’ve been going to golden road for years since I live nearby but this past Friday we chose to hold our rehearsal dinner/welcome party there for our wedding and it was AMAZING. From booking months ago, the events staff was incredibly helpful with communication in planning the event. They have excellent packages to choose from based on your guest count and preferences. The buffet for the rehearsal dinner was delicious, fresh, and friendly to dietary restrictions and the snacks we served at the welcome party ie donuts and pretzel bites were also phenomenal. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and all of our guests were raving about what a great night they had. THANK YOU GRB for a truly incredible and stress-free start to my wedding weekend.

I would get married here every day! We don't live too far away so we love driving by and reminiscing about the best day of our lives. They were very communicative and super easy to plan with. Considering this is in La Jolla, the price was also very affordable and they had a great list of vendors that they recommend. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day and very happy with the venue. We had the ceremony in the garden area, cocktail hour outside on the patio, and the reception indoors. It was early April so we were happy to have both options inside or outside, with last minute changes if necessary, as we weren't sure if it was going to be raining.

From the first tour we took, we knew it was the location for us... it has beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces - and it is visually stunning in a rich, interesting, unique way. We love how the current owners and staff have worked to restore the building and honor its history - and in doing so, the history of LA. Dave is a wonderful site and event coordinator, and he was so communicative, responsive, and helpful! Everyone connected to Huron is clearly committed to the community and conservation, and the playhouse is awesome, too!

Playa Studios is the ultimate wedding venue and acts as the perfect template for your big day. Tucked away at the end of a cul de sac, which keeps your event private to just you and your wedding guests, the venue is incredibly spacious with tall ceilings and tons of striking modern design elements that provide that initial "wow factor" right as you enter. We were also provided a list of modern furniture items that we could use for our layouts, including tables, chairs, couches and planters. The venue is incredibly spacious and provides ample room to be creative with your floor plan and inject any personal touches that you may want for your wedding. The Playa Studios team are true professionals, and they are incredibly easy to coordinate with. The venue is perfect for those who have specific food / drink / vendor choices in mind as well. While guests were in the foyer for cocktail hour, the team was able to seamlessly and silently flip the main hall from the ceremony to the reception while simultaneously working with our vendors to make sure everything was configured quickly and correctly. Given that Playa Studios is used also for commercials and concerts, the sound system installed throughout the venue is top-notch, and the lighting package is an incredible option as well. Music was loud and crisp in all parts of the venue throughout the night - even during the flip between ceremony and reception - and the lighting transformed the ceremony space into something that felt completely new for the reception. Overall, we were extremely thrilled with how our wedding turned out. We received nothing but positive feedback from our friends and family, with many compliments targeted towards how beautiful and modern the venue looked. Would highly recommend going with Playa Studios for your big day.

The moment we walked into Plant Connection SF I knew it was the perfect place to host the kind of unconventional wedding celebration we had in mind. The setting with the plants inside and out was important to me as my mother who is no longer in this realm was a gardener/plant whisperer. I could feel connected to her in the setting. Ali the main coordinator we worked with was very helpful and a great communicator both through email and in person. We really liked having the ability to set up the bar outside and keep the doors open to keep the flow of air circulating as people mixed and mingled. It was a wonderful whirlwind day and it seemed like it was over in a flash, but we keep hearing from people about how much fun they had. We highly recommend Plant Connection SF for people who want to embrace an unconventional setting for a celebration in the heart of the city.
