Gabe & Lindsey were amazing to work with. My husband and I stopped by in August and sealed the deal a few weeks later with an easy electronic deposit. Our wedding was held on a Sunday, March 24th. We opted for the cheaper beer & wine package, and Gabe was flexible with our budget offering two additional specialty cocktails (tequila, soda water & pineapple juice a whiskey old fashioned) We did not opt for the coffee station, thus Espresso Martinis are not an option in the budget package. A month into planning our wedding planner bailed on us, but as a former event planner, and with Lindsey's amazing response time, we were able to pull this off DIY. When I say DIY, the venue allowed our guests to help as vendors from florist, to DJs, sound and dessert. We only were required the event insurance and I was able to provide my personal DJ policy (as I spin myself). A friend made the cupcakes and the staff saved room in the fridge to store them. We brought in our own sound, however the indoor area has a quality sound system to play among the rooms and indoor bar and lounge during cocktail hour and getting ready time, which you can bring your own laptop, ipad etc. they even had adapters if you brought your phone to be the inside playlist DJ. We were granted access to the venue for 11 hours with no additional charge in our initial quote. No hidden fees incurred and the bar was open for 5 hours of that time. Right during photos before the ceremony, Lindsey kept watch of the weather and informed us, "I's a 100% change of rain in 10 minutes!" However, this turned into a beautiful moment as all guests stepped up to move the décor indoors, and we decided to hold the ceremony with 80 guests inside. Once it was over, the rain stopped and my husband and I, whom wrote an album based on our vows were able to perform outside right after. Staff had provided us with trash bags to cover our gear in the rain in the meantime. We did not use a preferred caterer, but they were still able to provide linens, napkins, flatware and glasses, with many colors to choose from. We booked Border Grill who had worked at the venue before and were a great help! Gabe even allowed us to order pizza for delivery for the kids (picky eaters). The day went by so fast, I loved the bridal suite, hair and makeup found it easy to set up and Lindsey assisted with power cords to run as outlets are sparse, but the building is so classically beautiful and pristine vintage it was absolutely worth it! Pricing was so affordable and I would do it at the Oviatt all over again!

We absolutely loved working with The Stonehurst for our special day. Communications were always prompt, and our security deposit was released quickly after our event. Nancy was gracious, caring and extremely professional during the whole process. Two days before the event, we realized we were going to need an ADA compliant restroom for my one of our guests. Nancy was quick to offer solutions and was easily able to have one delivered to the venue for our big day.

Millwick

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally built as a livery and then used as a cold-storage warehouse, Millwick has reinvented itself as a unique stand alone, super-loft open to private events, outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions, exhibitions and productions. It now boasts a flowing 7,000 square foot floor plan (4,500 sq ft interior + 2,500 sq ft garden courtyard) melding both interior and exterior areas. Millwick is an excellent event venue and wedding site for up to 175 people for ceremonies and receptions. Located in downtown Los Angeles in the heart of the Arts District, Millwick is convenient to many of the best new and historic hotels, restaurants and nightlife the city has to offer.

My wife and I got married at Millwick in November of 2023. Millwick was the first venue on our list when we started to shop around. We fell in love with the space immediately. After touring it with Ariel, we knew that Millwick would be our wedding venue. We never went through with visiting any other venues. It is such a wonderful oasis. Millwick is in the Arts District, where I spent most of my adulthood visiting restaurants/bars and going out. I also met my wife there, so it was only right to get married there. The staff (Dana, Ariel, Anika, and Clare) were simply wonderful to work with. From their efforts to make us feel at home, keep us informed, and help us bring our day/vision to fruition, to the continuous communication, the ladies at Millwick are a dream team. We have nothing but nice things to say. I would encourage you to visit the space.

The Revery LA

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,998

Established in 2020, The Revery is a one of a kind, premium event venue located in Mission Junction (Chinatown’s neighbor) in Los Angeles. The Revery is both an indoor and outdoor space, updated with modern amenities including HVAC, no noise curfew, tons of natural light, and perfect for the modern couple who is looking for a hidden gem.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Revery really is a dream of a venue. I call it, a hidden oasis! Conceptually, I wanted to create a speakeasy bar-like wedding and the revery was the perfect space for that. Anyone walking down the street in the industrial area would least expect to walk into such a transformative space -- I loved how unique the locale was, and loved even more how beautiful the outdoor veranda was. The clean, white interiors act as a blank canvas to design and utilize the space in endless ways. At the time, the indoor construction wasn't fully complete, but I took the risk and booked the site anyway, and am so glad that I did. My husband and I held a 100 person wedding in the fall renting the outdoor veranda, and it was absolutely perfect. Monica, the founder, was incredibly attentive and accommodating - I really appreciated her attention to detail, as she made sure the space was seamless for wedding day. I am hopeful to celebrate more milestones in this space, as it holds such value and is so special to me. I have every confidence that this dream of a place will be loved and favored by many. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Playa Studios

5.0

Culver City, CA
  • Up to 225 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $12,000

Our venue started as a music recording studio. We still have several studios that operate Monday through Friday. The event business was born out of people coming into the recording studios and asking if they could throw a party in our space and one thing led to another. We love hosting all different kinds of events from weddings, to parties, fundraisers, film shoots, and even the occasional small concert.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Valentine

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 240 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Valentine is our grandest location, and features a flowing 9,000 square-foot site plan designed for private events, courtyard weddings, receptions, exhibitions, productions and live performances. The venue is fully amenitized, and we provide experienced, professional site management, plus a commercial kitchen for client-selected catering teams. Originally 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 hotel, a brothel, a fish and oyster company, and a commercial site for everything from glass blowing to marijuana cultivation. This mysterious history subtly informed our re-invention of the space.

My husband & I got married at Valentine on Friday, 4/5/24. All we can say is WOW. The team at Marvimon/Valentine put in so much hard work and organization (VERY quick to email response as well, bonus!). We loved Valentine from the moment we stepped inside on our first tour last May (it was the only venue we toured because we immediately said “this is the one”) and our wedding absolutely blew away our expectations. So many of our guests asked us, “how did you guys FIND this place!? it’s amazing!!!” We were ahead of schedule all day, had zero hiccups, and got to bask in the wonder that is Valentine with our guests. A huge draw for us was that they allow their clients to bring in their own vendors, which we LOVED. Every guest was enchanted and we could feel it. We’ll never forget that feeling of being transported into the magical mystical Valentine orbit and are so happy our guests got to do the same. We had been told that the Marvimon/Valentine team were a well-oiled machine and now we get to say that for anyone else that inquires about Marvimon venues. We love you and are so grateful to Dana, Clare, Ariel, and the whole team for making this experience amazing. We love having Valentine as part of our wedding story. BOOK THEM!
