Located on the waterfront in Redondo Beach, Bluewater Grill is the perfect location for your wedding festivities. Our private rooms have beautiful harbor views and we would love to help you plan your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception.

Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach was the perfect venue for our wedding! We used the downstairs patio for our cocktail hour and the upstairs Avalon room for our reception. From the moment we started working with Vida, their venue coordinator, we knew we were in great hands. Vida was incredibly responsive, organized, and paid close attention to every detail to ensure our day went off without a hitch. She was so flexible and went above and beyond to help us execute all the details of our vision, making the entire planning process much less stressful. The value we received for the money was unbeatable - the high ceilings and stunning views of the sunset from the windows created such a beautiful, nautical ambiance. For smaller weddings (we had about 90 guests), we could not recommend Bluewater Grill more highly.

We were thrilled with our wedding venue at the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina. Throughout the planning process, their communication was prompt, precise and proficient in addressing all of our questions and requests. On our big day, the ceremony harbour terrace setup was simply beautiful, elegant and poised - the ocean views made for an intriguing backdrop as we exchanged our vows.

The Velaslavasay Panorama is housed in the Union Theatre, a historic neighborhood cinema built in 1910 with a neon marquee, enchanting garden, vintage theatre space and 360-degree painted panorama viewing hall. Set in the historic West Adams District near Downtown LA, the Velaslavasay Panorama is proud to participate in the cultural and artistic identity of the great city of Los Angeles, known the world over as an entertainment capital and the center of magnetic showmanship and spectacle. A visit to our panorama is complimented by a stroll through The Velaslavasay Garden and Grounds, featuring lush tropical plantings, a wide variety of succulents, a misting and meditation grotto, and a copper-roofed gazebo for reading and reflection. Reminiscent of the great 19th century pleasure gardens, our Grounds provide welcome respite from the everyday cares of the world.

If what you are seeking is a truly magical venue, look no further than the Velaslavasay Panorama. My wife and I did not want to have the typical hotel conference hall wedding. We wanted to show our family from outside of LA a place that was meaningful to us and at the same time still impress our friends from LA. The Panorama is genuinely extraordinary, with several different areas that can be arranged to suit your celebration. Our guest list was about 70 people and it was the perfect size. We opted to have our main ceremony in the historic theatre, our cocktail reception with our bartender in the lush garden, our musician play in the gazebo, and our dinner in the large area outside the moon gate. This made it easy for pick ups and drop offs with our catering and table / chair / bar rental. Sara and Ruby from the Panorama were absolutely lovely to deal with and helped considerably with logistics before, during, and after the event. Our photographer loved all of the different backdrops possible and everyone kept mentioning how wonderful the venue was. Check it out, I'm sure you will be absolutely stunned by the Panorama.

Seriously wow. Whatever your expectations out of a venue and a production team, throw them out the window because Marvimon will surpass them 10 fold. Truly, we don't know what we would have done if we didn't host with Marvimon. Due to a mandated curfew in the downtown area that went into effect 2 days before our wedding, we had to pull off a last minute venue change. They immediately offered to move us from Millwick in Arts District to Smogshoppe in Culver City to keep our guests safe and our timeline intact, and then worked night and day to update layouts, shift staff over, and make our wedding happen with no hiccups. They were truly a dream to work with. On top of that, every single interaction we had with them was so focused on understanding and executing our vision for our day. I don't know how their team does it, but every single email we sent them was replied to in 15 minutes flat and with everything we needed to know and more. You really feel like a VIP working with Marvimon!! Finally, everyone, from their coordinating staff to their security team, are the nicest people on Earth. Marvimon seriously makes dreams come true. Work with them!! You won't regret it!!

My family selected Jamaica Bay Inn because it was next to a small beach cove accessible from the Bermuda banquet room. We gathered for a Celebration of Life event and wanted to fly kites in memory of our beloved that passed away. Sayyora the Catering Manager was extremely efficient and flexible with the menu and my special request. Christina and the banquest staff were amazing. Christina had to leave the room to answer another clients questions and made sure another banquet person was in the room until she returned. The food was hot and plentiful. We selected the Buffet Pasta Station (1 with chicken and 1 with shrimp), baby greens salad, delicious fresh fruit. Accomodations were made for my request for a gluten free menu. I was in the hospitality business for 19 years for major hotels as a Catering Manger and Covention Services Manager and my critical eye can be hard to please. But I must say that the attention to detail was above and beyond. I would recommend Jamacia Bay at every opportunity. My family wants to return for a family reunion or just a family luncheon. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

What a memorable night! Well executed, shocking, funny, creepy and easy to get engulfed. The actors did a spectatular job and the venue is everything I wanted from head to toe. They adjust according to your needs and work off based on different personalities from your guests. The lighting, the music, the mood. They accomodated my needs and kept in contact with me through the planning process. They handled ultimately everything and made my night very special. The photobooth was such a special touch and guests could send gifs/images to themselves. They provide parking for hosts but parking around can be challening but not impossible since there are metered parking all around! It can be a little challenging to find since the outside is black and discrete. It really goes with the theme perfectly. I highly recommend!

We had the honor of working with Marla for our wedding in July 2024 and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about working with her to make our wedding dreams come true. Hotel Maya was the first venue to respond to our inquiry when we first reached out to venues. When we had our initial site visit, Marla was so thorough with her questions to ensure that the spaces we looked at fit our budget or vision. She advised that the hotel is pet friendly, which we loved since we wanted a venue where our dog could be part of the wedding ceremony. We fell in love with the spaces (Jardin de Palmeras and Miramar Ballroom) and loved that they beautifully showcased Long Beach. To that, Hotel Maya offers wedding packages that include ceremony & reception spaces, wedding cake, day-of coordinator, day-of get ready room, hotel room the night of the wedding, catering, cake cutting knife & server, tables, chairs, utensils, tablecloths, and so much more! We didn’t have to look any further and booked Hotel Maya right away! During the wedding planning process, Marla continued to be the absolute best to work with. I came with a ton of questions, and she always responded quickly and never made we feel like I was a bother. If there was something outside of catering that we need assistance with, she would gladly point us in the right direction or generously help us herself. She gained our trust very quickly through her above & beyond customer service, kindness, and sweet personality. Marla’s work is truly magic. On our wedding weekend, Marla made herself available for any last-minute preparations we needed her help with. On the wedding day, she was there when we needed her, and she was working behind the scenes to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. She made sure to touch base with us once in a while to make sure we were doing all right and just be excited with us. At this point, she’s been such an integral part of our big day, we were definitely sharing our joy with her. Also, we are happy to say that our dog was included in our big day. It’s so sweet to know that he was there with us as well. The hospitality staff at Hotel Maya were kind an attentive, starting with my bridal party in the get ready room and all the way through dinner service by checking if my husband and I needed anything. We also heard a consistent compliment about our bartender from our guests: he was quick! They said even when the line was long, he whipped up drinks in a flurry. Even my father was really impressed! We are so glad our guests were taken care of by all the hotel staff. Thank you, Marla and the Hotel Maya staff, for everything. We are beyond grateful. You’ve made wedding planning less stressful and made our wedding dreams truly come true. Hotel Maya will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts. Whenever we go eat at Fuego, the hotel restaurant, we will be sure to visit our ceremony space to lovingly reminisce and pay a visit to Marla. We recommend any couple to consider Hotel Maya for their wedding venue as we had such a wonderful experience working with them.

I had my 30 person wedding here at the farm and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out. From the friendly and professional staff to the amazing and delicious food, we had the best time. Lauren was great with communicating with me throughout and was willing to help however she could. Everything went so smoothly, I had multiple people tell me that I was the most relaxed bride they’d ever seen, and I owe it all to Lauren and her staff. Thank you so much! We plan to continue eating at their restaurant and hopefully having another event there in the future!

The Majestic Downtown 

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 550 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

The Majestic Downtown is unlike any other wedding venue in Los Angeles. The magic is in the history of the arched windows, in the curve of the marble pillars, in the intricacy of the hand-painted ceiling. We are the venue for the couples who notice the details and want something utterly timeless and one-of-a-kind. We recognize that everyone has different visions of their big day, which is why we are one of the few venues that allows you to bring in all of your own vendors. While we have an excellent in-house caterer, their services are an option, not a requirement. Even the crystals that cascade from the chandeliers are removable, so that we may transition from rustic to glamorous in the span of a couple of hours. The complete freedom to make your vision a reality is what makes us unique.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Venue is completely outdoors
  • Classic, vintage atmosphere

Venue considerations

  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Best for events with big guest lists

The Majestic was a DREAM to work with, we also used Ashton as our coordinator and she was a GOD SEND. Our guests still talk about our wedding and how smoothly everything went, and that was hands down thanks to Ashton and her team. They were all super easy to work with, very communicative, overall an amazing experience!

The venue was just incredible. We picked it because of the historical background as well as the fact that we knew we wouldn't need to add much to make it beautiful. Lindsey and Gabe put us at ease and helped us through each step of the process. I loved how Lindsey worked with our vendors to ensure everything went according to plan on the day of. I’m loving all of the texts from guests letting us know what a beautiful and unique venue we had. From the historic charm of the building to the LA skyline changing from day to night, there's nothing else like it. I could not recommend this venue more!

Flora Chang is definitely the best place to use as a venue for any type of small party (whether it be wedding, rehearsal dinner, birthday, bridal shower, etc.)! We cannot thank Flora Chang (and the whole team at Marvimon) for going above and beyond in making sure our Rehearsal Dinner was everything we dreamed it would be! Here is a quick breakdown of how it all went down: While planning our wedding for Valentine DTLA (another one of their amazing venues that we HIGHLY recommend), we were on the hunt for the perfect (not too pricey) venue. We had trouble because all of our favorite restaurants were like renting out another wedding venue. That's when Dana and her team let us know about Flora Chang and let us tour the space! We were totally in awe with it's colorful and funky vibes! It's layout was super fun because it has a pool table and bar as soon as you walk in (which made you feel like you were entering a secret speakeasy). Then there's a section of dining tables where your guests can have a nice intimate dinner! Past that was a HUGE couch where people could relax after they stuffed their faces with some tasty food! Finally, there's a section in the back of the venue where you can plug music in to play off of the speakers and has a bunch of large, beautiful plants (it's also a GREAT section to rehearse for your ceremony if you are using it for a rehearsal dinner)! We knew this was going t "WOW" our out of town family members and give them an experience they could only have in LA! After signing the contract, it was up to us to find vendors, but we used a lot of the ones that Marvimon recommended to us and we couldn't have been happier! And if you would like to bring in a vendor they haven't used before, they are totally open to it (which we did with our caterer who CRUSHED IT... THANK YOU DE LA NONNA!) The day of our rehearsal dinner couldn't have gone better! Everything was laid out exactly how we asked and the site representative was there incase we had any questions about the space! Even our guests were in complete awe of the venue and had a blast as well! We cannot thank Flora Chang and Marvimon enough for letting us use this venue! Now quit reading this review and go book it!

Grass Room

Los Angeles, CA

  • Starts at $6,845
  • Offer

Grass Room is perhaps our most distinctive location and features a flowing 6,000-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. 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 fish and oyster company, an ice cream factory, and a commercial site for everything from far east imports to marijuana cultivation. This quirky history subtly informed our re-invention of the space.

Grass Room will forever have a piece of my heart! The folks at Marvimon know how to host a WEDDING. Still smiling! From the moment we started planning with their team, they were responsive, assuring and personable in their communication style. They held a design meeting with us to get all the logistics and layout perfectly planned, and also provided a preferred vendor list - they already had great relationships with quality vendors that complemented the eclectic, vibey and airy ambience of the Grass Room. The entire experience was seamless, and we are so grateful to the Marvimon/Grass Room team for making our special day truly unforgettable.
