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.

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

  • 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!

We've lived and worked in Hollywood for a while and when we started looking for our venue, we knew we wanted to have our wedding in Hollywood. We had seen shows at The Fonda, but had no clue you could have an event there. We were over the moon when the thought of having our wedding there became a reality. The Fonda is historic to Hollywood and the inside is so unique and drop dead gorgeous-- it was a total no brainer. Working with their Director, Bailey Lyon, was so easy and seamless that it made our decision that much easier. There are so many cool spaces within and so many possibilities to make your event amazing... even our super traditional parents were all equally blown away with how gorgeous The Fonda is. We got changed and ready in the same dressing rooms as some of our favorite musicians and even got our families on stage for a pictures. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things about The Fonda. At the end of the day, we had the most amazing wedding / the best day & night of our lives with our names on a marquee on Hollywood Boulevard. If you're thinking of booking The Fonda for a special event, you're not going to be disappointed... and neither will your guests!

mpliments for the food during our wedding, and the staff took such great care of us during our wedding day. We both wish we could go back to the venue just to try food there again. Shauna, who we initially worked with when we signed on to work with the Fig House, was really great and worked with us so well. At first, the venue was out of our price range, but she worked to get it down to a price we were comfortable with. As we got closer to the big day, Shauna was subbed out for Kevin on the event staff. Our process took a little bit of a turn here as Kevin, while nice and easy to work with in our 1 on 1 interactions, was ultimately not the most helpful and caused as quite a bit of stress in the lead up to our big day. We were sent the wrong bill, told about some restrictions to the venue really late in the process, and were unacknowledged by him on the day of our rehearsal. We really recommend the Fig House to anyone looking for an intimate and unique space in LA, but can’t recommend working with Kevin. It’s also helpful to know that the venue has some limitations with timing, the use of outside vendors, and some hidden fees!
