** you cannot edit your vendor Zola review and this is an edit to give our initial review 5 FIVE STARS** When we were looking for where to host our wedding reception an intimate unique setting that would be a great time with full open bar and great food was what we were looking for about 200. Staff was excellent day of. Food was wonderful guests said. Venue was beautiful for photos and weather behaved in January so we got to watch the sunset. Everything was amazing w Portofino. Price was excellent for what we got and in SoCal on the water venue “boutique hotel.” My only critique is doing room blocks and anything to do with their computer system accounting takes a second and is a little out dated takes two days or so- but I like to get things done or get emails asap so that’s just me. Other than that wonderful place will be going back to stay at hotel! Amazing reception! Exactly what we were looking for! Rain is also exceptionally friendly, patient and communicative so ask for him !

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.

SmogShoppe was everything we could have imagined and more. I literally said to my husband after our design meeting that I hate that we would only go to the venue one last time for our big day. Working with Dana was a DREAM, she was so kind, so fun, so on top of it, I just want to be her friend IRL to be honest! The day of, everything flowed so well. Our guests positively loved the space and the vibe of SmogShoppe, we had 75 guests and everyone loved that the space felt so open.

We are using Zola to promote our site as a rental venue for weddings and private events. To learn more, visit rental[dot]panoramaonview[dot]org and to ask questions or schedule a tour, contact event[at]panoramaonview[dot]org.

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.

My husband and I attended their Wedding and Event Showcase to check out local vendors and ended up booking our entire wedding that day! Our original plan was to do a courthouse wedding and a small reception at our home but changed our mind after touring the venue. We fell in love with the Fireside Room. It was cozy, dim with Spanish-style vibes, perfect for a moody romantic wedding I had envisioned our wedding to be. We even decided to have our ceremony on the golf course at First Tee. It was perfect for us and our guests to have both in the same venue. What really convinced us to have our wedding here were our coordinators, Jennifer Flores and Carina Martinez. They were so kind and helpful from the first day we met at the Showcase all the way through to our wedding day. We were on a tight budget and had only two months to plan our 50-guest wedding. They had many different options to choose from. Carina was very patient and helped us choose the package best for us. We could not have asked for a better team. We are so grateful to them and the rest of the team for making our day special. An honorable mention goes to the Director of Food and Beverage, Mr. Jose Chavez. He was amazing! He made sure our menu for our guests was perfect, our His & Hers signature cocktails were exactly how we wanted them, the tables layout, everything! Kudos to him and his bartenders. They did an amazing job the day of our wedding as well as Carina, who stayed until the very end to make sure everything went smoothly. We cannot thank them enough. For the reception dinner we chose the plated meal service and chose the grilled chicken breast with a garlic cream sauce and the braised short rib, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Our guests had the option to choose chicken or beef for dinner. The food was delicious. Our favorite was the braised short rib. We offered our guests a one hour hosted cocktail hour while we took our photos by the lake, prior to entering the Fireside Room for dinner. We highly recommend this venue for weddings and other celebrations. It is a beautiful venue with many options. You will not regret it!

The Count's Den was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was clear, consistent, and incredibly gracious and accommodating. They were very hands-on throughout the planning process, and even stepped in to help resolve an issue with the caterer, going above and beyond to ensure our day was seamless. The venue itself has a beautiful, intimate feel without ever feeling crowded or overwhelming. We loved that hosting our wedding here supported the local art collective, rather than a typical wedding factory. The bridal suite was a lovely space for us to get ready, and we were able to truly make the entire venue our own. The Count's Den and their wonderful staff played a big role in making our wedding day so special and memorable. I will always recommend Rachel and her team for any spooky fun events!

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday here with about 120 friends and family, and I couldn’t have picked a better venue. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of every detail, which made the night stress-free and so enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, and to my surprise, the cocktails ended up being the highlight of the night—even at a wine bar! Guests were raving about them all evening. The space itself was ideal, with the flexibility to use both the indoor and outdoor areas, giving the party a great flow and plenty of room for everyone to mingle. I’m still hearing from guests about how much fun they had. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on atmosphere, service, and food & drinks, this is it.

First - the food is delicious and the setting perfect for a wonderful meal. We used them for a rehearsal dinner of 40 and were absolutely impressed by Tiato! We spent quite a lot of time looking for a location for my daughters rehearsal dinner. Many friends suggested Tiato as a perfect location as it has a lot of beautiful spaces including a great outdoor space and wonderful food. The proposal we received from Tiato was so professional, thorough and thoughtful. I was very impressed in my dealings with Stephen Cisneros and knew it would be a fabulous event. We had the most wonderful tasting before selecting our final menu and everything was so good, it was difficult to choose. Stephen and his team went out of their way to make sure our evening was special including providing microphones for speeches, a lovely set-up and, most importantly, amazing food. The passed appetizers were delicious and beautifully presented. Stephen had great suggestions for timing of the event. Easy parking was included and the prices were fair. I appreciated that adding a specialty cocktail (we picked a wonderful berry margarita which featured fresh pressed blueberry, lemon and lime juices) was only 7.50 per person in addition to a reasonable bar package. I highly recommend Tiato for a lunch, dinner or event! Love the food!

Never in a million years did I think I’d be able to get married at a venue like this. The Ebell is the sort of thing you only see in movies (and that’s because it’s in all the movies!). You can see for yourself how breathtaking this space is, but what you can’t see from a website or an Instagram page is how equally incredible its staff are. Working with the Ebell was an absolute joy, every single person we interacted with was professional, kind, funny, and most importantly, cared so deeply about our special day. I’d be remiss not to mention our coordinator, Katie, who I could not extend enough gratitude to if I tried. If location and people weren’t enough, our food and drinks were actually insane. Two months after our wedding, we are still getting compliments on the food. Finally, the banquet staff, the real stars of the day itself, were remarkable. Such professionalism and poise that you could only expect from a place that looks like the Ebell. Truly an absolutely incredible experience, a dream come true.

We were so grateful to find an affordable venue in DTLA that had an exterior space for a ceremony interior space for wedding event. The bonus was that the space came with rustic farm tables, chairs, basic lighting & string lights, bar, and pipe and drape. After looking for months - nowhere else in the city offered the value and the wow-factor that Seventh Place did. The staff was attentive, detailed, and thoughtful. Highly recommend to attended one of their open houses, or see if you can take a tour while an event is being setup, that way you can see the space in use. The staff provided sample floor plans for researching how best to use the layout effectively. Things to consider: no kitchen, but if your caterer can prep/heat elsewhere, a buffet style or cooked outside on mobile kitchen worked perfectly. The greenery/ivy is breathtaking on camera - but beware, certain times of year the ivy drips/rains droplets of sticky sap. Not an issue but be mindful of dresses/suits standing beneath it. Parking was easy, load in/out was very easy as well. The space was turn-key, with everything setup as requested when we arrived.
