We had the most wonderful tiny wedding in the East Room and the patio! My fiancé and I were looking for a venue that felt intimate, but that was in Downtown LA and had a private outdoor space, and the East Room met our criteria. We had a small 8-person luncheon, and it was exactly the experience we wanted: wonderful food and truly amazing service. The room itself was gorgeous, with really beautiful tile floors and a long counter. The patio was also very picturesque with views of DTLA, and we had a bar outside as well. We ran slightly late because of photos/congratulations from family, and the Redbird team was incredibly understanding and we never felt rushed. The meal was also coursed perfectly and everyone loved all of the food served. The events team at Redbird was also great to work with in the planning stages. I had originally planned to keep our ceremony/lunch VERY simple (i.e. wasn’t even planning flowers), and the Redbird team went above and beyond to help me find the perfect flower arrangements and even made a tiny cake to cut. They were easy to work with and super responsive to calls/emails, and were great about follow-ups. I would highly recommend Redbird - and the East Room - for smaller weddings. We had such a wonderful ceremony, and the Redbird team really helped us look beyond our original vision to something even better. Thank you so much!

The Majestic Downtown is unlike any other wedding venue in Los Angeles. The magic is in the history of the arched windows, in the curve of the marble pillars, in the intricacy of the hand-painted ceiling. We are the venue for the couples who notice the details and want something utterly timeless and one-of-a-kind. We recognize that everyone has different visions of their big day, which is why we are one of the few venues that allows you to bring in all of your own vendors. While we have an excellent in-house caterer, their services are an option, not a requirement. Even the crystals that cascade from the chandeliers are removable, so that we may transition from rustic to glamorous in the span of a couple of hours. The complete freedom to make your vision a reality is what makes us unique.
