Culver City, CA

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.

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.

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!!

We got married in the White Room at Founders and loved every second of it. The retractable rooftop gave us that open air feeling we wanted, and when our guests moved to the grand ballroom afterward, the transition felt seamless. The space is truly expansive, which made the room feel airy and not cramped even with everyone there. The lighting design throughout was stunning and really set the mood for the evening. Founders has an elegant style with vibrant décor that photographs beautifully, and the venue itself is a work of art. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a sophisticated space with room to breathe.
