My husband and I love our wedding venue, The Sanctuary. We were lost when we first started wedding planning because we had no direction. After attending an open house at The Sanctuary, we met Mason who helped us build a package for our big day. We picked out every detail and made our vision come to life. They also connected us to their vendors who were a pleasure to work with. Lastly, the venue itself is beautiful. The cathedral and courtyard were perfect for our photos. The dining hall was just as beautiful and charming. Our guests kept complimenting how elegant everything was. I highly recommend booking this venue.

When we started wedding planning, we knew finding a “one stop shop” sort of venue was going to be our best bet. We toured a couple venues from another well known company and some Wedgewood properties, and ultimately decided that Wedgwood Aliso Viejo best fit our needs. From our first meeting all the way to the day of (16 months later), we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Breanna and Sierra were exceptional planners and their meetings with us leading up to the wedding really made us feel like we didn't have anything to worry about. I’m a very type-A person and I never felt like I was asking for too much. We had all of our questions answered and had pleasant interactions with Kimberlyn as well. On the day of, Sierra, Lily and DJ Rachel were extremely attentive, communicative and overall on top of everything. I appreciate that we were able to call, text and email any questions we had at any time and heard back from the Wedgewood team in a very timely manner. Of all of our wedding week events, we had the least concerns about the wedding day and everything ran smoothly and to our liking. We have been receiving tons of compliments about how the staff were running a tight ship and that we didn't have to worry about anything because it all was taken care of. I am very big on customer service and we have not heard a single negative comment from any of our guests. The only hiccups with our wedding were issues with outside vendors that the Wedgewood team helped us address. The vibes were great, the food was amazing, we even had good compliments about the bartender being very cool and making amazing drinks. We really could not have imagined our special day any better than it turned out and we are so incredibly grateful to all of the Wedgewood Aliso Viejo for making it all happen!

South Hills Country Club was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was so easy, they have great packages and they really allow you to personalize the space to bring your vision to life. The venue itself is just stunning, with beautiful arch windows, high ceilings and an amazing fireplace that provided the perfect photo moment. Not to mention all the areas on the golf course that you can take bridal party photos at. I was fortunate to work with Abi and Evan, they really helped answer all of our questions, which was so valuable since most people don't have experience planning weddings and I chose not to hire a wedding coordinator. Abi and Evan helped me every step of the way and were there at the event to make sure things ran smoothly. Abi even texted me through the morning to update me on how set up is going just to put my anxious mind at ease. I also have to mention how great the food is, it’s not your average hotel wedding dish. They really let you customize the dish from the proteins to the sauce and have so many options for hors d’oeuvres. The whole team at South Hills went above and beyond to make our special day perfect and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found them.

Heritage Park and Clarke estate are two hidden gem venues I love telling future clients about along with friends and family. Working there as a preferred vendor for nearly 5 years now has been a great experience as a vendor and for my clients as well. Working together with a venue to ensure the couples day is going well without a hitch is very important and let me tell you Leanne and her staff consistently work together and hard to make sure of that. Not only are both venues historic they're also affordable. That is a perfect combination for a venue Especially when people need to accommodate large guests 200-300 guests. Highly recommend both venues I do work more at heritage Park since their guest capacity is 300 but I always look forward to working with Leanne. Always a great experience.

The East Angel was such a beautiful venue and so easy to work with. Kirsty and her team worked with us the last two years planing our wedding. Planning a wedding from across the country we had a bunch of questions that they were able to answer in a timely manner. The East Angel was able to accommodate all our site visit request when we were in town and made sure out wedding was the perfect day. I believe it was Fred who helped us day of - he was amazing making sure everything was how we imagined, guided vendors and was able to answer any questions we had. We fell in love with the venue at first sight. We loved all the gold and greenary. All our pictures came out stunning and all the guests loved the venue. Even better- you get the space for 12 hours - with the beautiful and spacious bridal suites we were able to do our hair and makeup and get beautiful pictures. Everything went off without a hitch. We loved working with the East Angel and would highly recommend.

After a number of visits to potential wedding venues that just didn't feel right, my wife and I felt like a miracle had happened when we found Seventh Place. Seventh Place is a venue where you can truly execute your own vision, whatever it may be, while the space still brings a quality and characteristic that feels so unique to wedding venues. Having moved to Los Angeles from New York City, my wife and I were hoping to bring a bit of that Brooklyn energy to our wedding day, and the lovely brick interior and beautiful courtyard here absolutely helped deliver that. The space (and staff) was so flexible that it was easy to achieve exactly what we imagined for the big day, and our point person Lorraine was extremely helpful and communicative in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. The interior is beautiful, with enough space for us to host 150 guests at large family-style tables (the wooden tables Seventh Place has are very very nice), and still have more than enough room for dancing and a cozy and comfy lounge area. Besides being the perfect setting for our ceremony, we hosted the dessert table and some more seating and cocktail tables outside in the courtyard, which has a lot of greenery all around and plenty of shade, making it easy to forget you are in DTLA. The hedge wall outside on the street also served as a great backdrop for our family photos (we put down some turf on the street). We are both so thrilled with how our wedding turned out, and the setting was a major factor in the success of the day. Seventh Place was an exceptional (and very well-priced!) venue with a wonderful team who made the process very easy for us. They also host a great preferred vendor open house which was a big help in wrapping our heads around the wedding planning process, and seeing the space in action! We can happily and confidently recommend Seventh Place as a venue for your big events!

Union Station 
Rating: 4.0 (1 review)
Los Angeles, CA

  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $11,500

A Los Angeles Icon from 1939, Union Station offers unique spaces to host your corporate/social events, weddings, and more. This iconic Los Angeles landmark is a vibrant symbol of downtown’s renaissance. A dynamic destination for the arts, entertainment and culture, forging a vital new connection to the community, Union Station is more than a bustling transportation hub in the heart of the city. It's a true cultural hub connecting the infinitely varied and wonderful elements of one of the world’s great cities... a gateway to the best of Los Angeles.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Historic touches
  • Classic elegance
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
When we first saw Union Station listed on here, we actually thought it was a scam post but as it turns out - YES you can actually get married in Union Station, with several different venue options costing varying amounts. We chose the Fred Harvey room for our wedding, which was easily the most complimented part of our day. It's such an amazing, historic space, and all the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Now the cons: there are a few required inclusions (security team, valet service, fire marshal checks) that you have to acquire through them - and those costs add up quickly from the price of the actual space rental. The valet company in particular was an insanely high initial quote, but fortunately they did negotiate a drop. Because it's not a dedicated wedding venue, they also don't provide any guidance with vendors (which means you bring everything in yourself), and because it's a protected space, there are a lot of regulations on what can and can't be done (as of Summer 2025, you basically can't use the kitchen for any actual cooking). Even with the drawbacks, we'd probably still do it all over again. It was an exceptionally cool, beautiful experience, and it turned out some AMAZING photos, just make sure you ask a lot of questions up front!

I have always dreamed of getting married at the Millwick and now that the day has passed it was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was direct, clear, and easy - they were always responsive to our questions and available to help. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful. I found it easiest to work with vendors that have previously worked there as they knew how each other operates and it made everything run smoothly especially when it comes to a planner and catering. The venue itself was stunning, and their team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and we highly recommend Millwick to any couples searching for the perfect venue.

The venue itself is truly elegant, with a rustic, country club charm that felt upscale yet still captured the relaxed, Californian vibe we were going for.

The all-inclusive package covering the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was the best decision, as everything flowed seamlessly. We are so grateful to the Chevy Chase team for making our special day unforgettable.

The Stonehurst was the perfect choice for our wedding day!! From our first conversation, Nancy and the team were super proactive about answering questions and made us feel very taken care of. I loved having the bridal bungalow to get ready in, all of my bridesmaids got to relax and eat in the kitchen as well, which was so nice! (It also has AC which is a huge plus). The flower garden provided a STUNNING backdrop for our ceremony, and we had our guests raving about how gorgeous it was. We loved how the bamboo garden offered shade during cocktail hour and it was the perfect space to mingle. For dinner in the greenhouse, we opted for hanging greenery on the celling and on the poles throughout, and it truly transformed the space. There was a huge space for dancing and an outdoor area for people to mingle as well. We can't thank The Stonehurst enough for making our day so special!!

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.

The most important thing to me when planning my wedding was the quality of the food. I wanted my guests to leave saying it was one of the best meals they'd ever had. I am a wedding vendor and I know that large catered meals are usually blah at best. I got exactly what I wanted at Redbird. The food was AMAZING and their event spaces are gorgeous. Everything else was okay. The information we received at the initial walk-through ended up being less-than-accurate. It's frustrating that there is no real holding space for the smaller spaces when there are multiple events happening at the same time unless you pay for them. It's frustrating that *despite asking before signing a contract and being told it would be fine*, we were not allowed to take photos in any other areas of the building except the one we rented. There were often huge delays in responses to emails. They lost the bottle of wine we specifically requested to take home for our first anniversary (and which we were, of course, billed for). But overall, the food made the frustration worth it.
