    We are both so very pleased and happy with The Oviatt. We got engaged in February and our wedding day was in October. We thought for sure the planning would be stressful but The Oviatt made it so easy and enjoyable! They communicated so well and in a timely manner! Gabe and Lindsey are absolutely awesome! The venue is absolutely beautiful with endless spots to take photos! I don’t know what else to say I am just so thankful to have found The Oviatt! Thank you Zola! This is where I first communicated with the venue :)

    From start to finish, the team at The Oviatt made planning our wedding an effortless experience. They were incredibly attentive and responsive throughout, taking care of every detail so we could fully enjoy everything on the big day. The historic venue is absolutely beautiful, with incredible architectural details that left our guests in awe. We feel we received tremendous value for the level of service and quality they provided. They helped make our wedding truly unforgettable, and our guests haven't stopped raving about the stunning venue!

    This is the best wedding venue ever, for many many reasons. In short, the management is super attentive and communicative, flexible and accommodating, professional and kind. You'd be amazed at how many wedding venue staff members are cold and rude...but not The Oviatt! The venue itself is STUNNING and we received so many compliments on it...you need very little decor as the venue shines on its own! I can't say enough positive things about our experience here and if we ever need an event venue again, we'd definitely go back! Thank you Gabe and Lindsey and all the staff for making our wedding magical!

    The Oviatt is one of the most unique and most special venues that I have had the absolute pleasure of working in Los Angeles. As a wedding photographer, it's absolutely so much fun to photograph. It's vintage, and quirky on the inside, lending itself to so many photo opportunities with a couple on their wedding day. The outdoor space is also beautiful and different than most in LA as it is on a rooftop in DTLA, surrounded by skyscrapers. Aside from the venue itself, the team behind it could not be beat. They are so incredibly professional, friendly, and are truly there to make your day go as smoothly as it could. Cherry on top is that they're amazing to vendors too! I would be honored to work there again and I know my couple had only amazing things to say about it and the team that runs it.
