This venue is straight out of Italy! Not only is this space incredibly unique, but the architecture is unlike anything you will see in California. From the Roman columns and fountains, to the hand-crafted gold ceilings, artwork, and millwork, the gorgeous staircases throughout, and massive space. The sheer beauty of this place is unmatched. The opportunities are also endless with how many different rooms and spaces there are within the venue itself. I had the honor of hosting my wedding here and it will forever be such a beautiful memory, due largely to the stunning and unique setting. We had our ceremony outdoors, surrounded by the columns and fountains, and the reception was indoors in the large upstairs ballroom. Both areas flowed perfectly with our theme, and all with incredible ease. I am already thinking of events to host here next! The Palazzo by Khoshbin is truly one of a kind.

I loved working with Robin at the Sonesta Hotel. She was an excellent event manager who cared for all our needs and was very accommodating. I had one problem that had nothing to do with Robin or the Sonesta: Someone on the wedding coordinator's staff stole my wallet during the event. We hired Koral, the wedding coordinator, which was our responsibility. Overall, it was a beautiful venue with excellent hotel staff. I would recommend the Sonesta 100%.

The Cannonball Run, a car race from New York to Los Angeles turned feature film, was first run in 1971 with The Portofino Inn as the final destination.

We had our cocktail hour and wedding reception at the Portofino Hotel & Marina. There was quite a bit of staff turnover throughout the months during our planning process and we were nervous when our initial catering manager left, but we were so grateful to have Rain who took over as our catering manager and did an excellent job with our wedding reception! Rain stepped in seamlessly and was wonderful to work with. He took the time to understand our vision and provided suggestions to enhance our reception. His professionalism was evident in every interaction, which gave us great peace of mind during the planning process. Rain helped us create special details, like our signature drinks, and included thoughtful touches that really made our wedding day feel extra special. Thank you Rain!! We received numerous compliments from our guests about the delicious food and impeccable service. The venue itself is stunning and we couldn’t have picked a better reception location. I literally gasped when I walked into the ballroom and saw it all come together with the white linens, the gold chivari chairs, the white dance floor, the blue ocean and sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It was even more breathtaking as the sun was setting. Our reception was more beautiful than we could have imagined and I’m so glad we chose the Portofino!

I had my daughter's quinceañera reception at the Courtyard Marriott West Los Angeles. We had over 150 guests. My experience with the staff and venue was incredible. I decided on the venue for a variety of reasons. It's a nice space, close to LAX for out of town guests, with ample parking on the westside of Los Angeles. The banquet room has an adjoining patio that makes the space inviting. The hotel has recently undergone some renovation that makes it a more posh experience. Alexandra Cantu, Senior Catering Sales Manager, was exceptional. She is very patient and responsive. Additionally, my guests raved about the food. The banquet room staff was also incredible and responsive to my guests. I would definitely recommend the courtyard Marriott West Los Angeles for your next event.

We finally had our wedding at Playa Studios in Aug 2021, postponed from Aug 2020 by the pandemic. It's a fantastic space with high ceilings and an industrial modern feel, plus a touch of whimsy via the art work. The main event space is basically a black box and you can create any theme/layout you'd like, but it's also nice enough to use as-is if you want to keep things simple (we kept things simple). This is an indoor only space, but we were ok with that. They do have some outdoor space at the entry, but it's minimal. We loved that it wasn't a traditional wedding-type venue (think hotel ballroom), and that they host a variety of other events as well. We also appreciated the flexibility to bring in our own caterer. The venue has an extensive kitchen space included in the rental. Highly recommend you see the space for yourselves. The photos don't do it justice. It was the last on our list before we started looking, yet nothing could compare once we had our visit.
