From the moment I reached out to Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings, their communication was fast and responsive. They always said "yes" to my ideas, making the planning process incredibly easy. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with ample space and stunning rose bushes that elevated the ceremony area. David, the wedding coordinator, was an absolute gem - he truly made my vision come to life and made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. I cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not regret booking Rio Hondo for your special day.

What stood out to us was the versatility of the space, as it featured distinct areas that we could personalize to our liking. The space's intrinsic beauty, characterized by its lighting and captivating high ceiling, minimized the need for a lot of decorations.

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 Revery really is a dream of a venue. I call it, a hidden oasis! Conceptually, I wanted to create a speakeasy bar-like wedding and the revery was the perfect space for that. Anyone walking down the street in the industrial area would least expect to walk into such a transformative space -- I loved how unique the locale was, and loved even more how beautiful the outdoor veranda was. The clean, white interiors act as a blank canvas to design and utilize the space in endless ways. At the time, the indoor construction wasn't fully complete, but I took the risk and booked the site anyway, and am so glad that I did. My husband and I held a 100 person wedding in the fall renting the outdoor veranda, and it was absolutely perfect. Monica, the founder, was incredibly attentive and accommodating - I really appreciated her attention to detail, as she made sure the space was seamless for wedding day. I am hopeful to celebrate more milestones in this space, as it holds such value and is so special to me. I have every confidence that this dream of a place will be loved and favored by many. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

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.

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!

There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible Marvimon was as a wedding venue. 
We had the wedding of our literal dreams — an all day affair that took place in both Valentine and Grass Room.

 Dana (Event Director) deserves every award there is in the wedding/event category. We opted out of a wedding planner because we were pretty confident in putting it together ourselves but of course there was A LOT to figure out and hurdles faced along the way. But thanks to Dana and Marvimon’s phenomenal team, the end result was truly magical. Between the organization, attention to detail, genuine care, and the list of unbelievable, pre-approved vendors (including a BIPOC, women-owned, and queer specific list which is where we primarily sourced everything) we didn’t realize that we not only got the venue of our dreams but the support it came with was extremely valuable. Not to mention the beautiful furniture, foliage and overall interior aesthetic that was there which removed any need for renting additional pieces. Weddings are exciting but everyone who has planned or is in the middle of planning one knows they are massively stressful. That said, the Marvimon team (ESPECIALLY DANA) didn’t have us worried at all. They were one of the biggest reasons we were at ease and confident things were going to run smoothly which I’m happy to report they did with flying rainbow colors! 100/10 CANNOT recommend enough! 
(We are already thinking about our vow renewal party at one of their other venue spaces - true story)

Our experience with The Stonehurst was fantastic from start to finish. The communication with Nancy, the owner, was seamless and she was so accommodating throughout the planning process. The venue itself is stunning, with different unique spaces to work with that really allowed us to customize our wedding exactly how we wanted. Nancy was so friendly and helpful. Since we got married in October 2021, they've done some additional work to make the space even more beautiful. The Stonehurst is a truly one-of-a-kind venue that is conveniently located close to Los Angeles. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.

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.

The Grass Room / Marvimon team was SUCH a delight to work with for our wedding, which took place early December, 2024. Dana and Clare made the whole process so easy, comfortable and fun- they're lovely people and extremely organized. Grass Room itself is a stunning space. We chose it specifically because it really requires no additional decor; it's perfect as-is. The greenhouse gardens are so lovingly taken care of and so lush- our photos turned out so beautifully! The customizable lighting, the sound system, DJ booth, projector...everything about the space was just easy and intuitive. Their venue policies are straightforward, and they have a ton of supplementary material, guides and photos to share that were a huge help in the planning process. Having no restrictions on vendors was awesome for us, and the process of setting up a new-to-Marvimon vendor with them was easy breezy. We're not planning to get married again, but we'll be recommending Grass Room and the Marvimon properties to all of our friends and family. And if we ever have a reason to throw another big party- we know exactly where we'll go.

The space is perfect for any event. It is very private. The only way in is through an elevator which is great for private parties. I will be doing more events in the future.

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.

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!
