  • Amazing Venue

    St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was quick and responsive, which put us at ease during the planning process. The space itself is large and recently remodeled, looking absolutely beautiful. Everything they promised was delivered, with the church and hall set up perfectly for our celebration. The historical church is stunning, and the newly renovated hall was the ideal size to accommodate all of our guests. All in all, it was the perfect day and location - we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day.

  • Perfect wedding venue!

    St. Anthony's Croatian Catholic church was the perfect blank canvas for our wedding vision! The sheer size of the space was a huge plus. We had a large guest list, and we never felt cramped or crowded. There was plenty of room for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, all in different areas of the venue, which flowed seamlessly. We even had room for a dedicated dance floor, a photo booth area, and a lounge area for guests to relax.

  • Best venue in LA

    I had my wedding here in June of 2024 with 300 guests. The staff is timely, accommodating and professional. They have ample space for guests and the best part is the parking- two double decker garages. The price of St. Anthony's is unmatched, ESPECIALLY in LA. The hall is newly renovated everything is beautiful, especially the middle hall bar. A very large female restroom and great sized male restroom. A lot of potential to creating a space you have in your mind. There's a large back alley for loading/unloading for vendors. It's also handicap friendly all around and theres a elevator from the 1st parking level to the ground level.

    St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the very beginning, their communication was wonderful - they were responsive, accommodating, and made the planning process easy. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The church itself is very pretty, with beautiful stained glass that created a stunning backdrop for our outdoor reception dinner on the patio. We asked them to keep the lights on inside so the glass would be illuminated at night, and it looked breathtaking. Many of our guests said it was the most lovely wedding they had ever attended. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. The guests really appreciated not needing to drive anywhere after the ceremony. Also, the bride and groom photoshoot was at the Bradbury building and just on the sidewalk outside the church. Very pretty for wedding photo backdrops.
