Grass Room 

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • 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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Lush gardens

Venue considerations

  • No in-house catering options
  • Does not provide event staff

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.

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!

I chose the scenic rooftop of the Hilton Checkers as the spot to propose to my girlfriend because of our shared love for city landscapes and spending our weekends exploring the city. The hotel provides many amazing photo spots from the entrance of the hotel to the main staircase to the elevators and most importantly the rooftop view of the city which all gives a stunning historic look at the city of Los Angeles. It was an amazing experience working with the hotel as well. Sandra the sales manager at the hotel made it a breeze to book and coordinate the event with my florist and photographer. The hotel staff was also super helpful with helping me hold onto the roses to pick up on a later day and helping me load them all into my vehicle. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't change a thing!

We reached out to The Oviatt with just a month to go—and from the very first call, Gabe was calm, collected, and fully supportive of both our vision and our budget. No stress, no pressure—just genuine enthusiasm to help us make it happen. Lindsey was incredible. Even though we were fairly on top of everything, she guided us with clarity, creativity, and care. When plans shifted, she adjusted seamlessly and brought everything together in a way that felt effortless (though we know it wasn’t!). Even when the downtown curfew popped up the week of our wedding, the team took every curveball in stride and made sure we felt cared for from start to finish. If you’re looking for a stunning Art Deco gem with a team that truly has your back—this is it.

Dana, Clare, and Anika have been amazing from start to finish. When touring at venues to see which one we wanted to have our wedding at, Millwick hands down felt like home that even other Marvimon venues did not compare to this one which gave my husband and I the instant feeling. The price is solid for the amount of space and venue offering that you get. The fact that it comes with tables and chairs and a lot of furniture, a onsite kitchen, Site Managers, the best support you can get, some in house DJ offerings, and a bunch of other stuff. The Marvimon staff is top notch. They jump straight into helping you in any way they can and they do the most stellar job. We loved that they were so down to earth, understanding, and patient with us. They made us feel right at home. The great thing about Millwick is you do not need to dress up the venue much with all the greenery, its the perfect vibe you need for an intimate wedding celebration, it was definitely vibes for sure! There are so many amazing features about Millwick that I can go on and on but one thing that is a must is if you book Millwick you can hot iron brand press and mark your memory at the outdoor bar and it will be there forever! We did that during our design meeting with Clare and our wedding coordinator and it was so much fun, that on our wedding day our guests got to see it when they were waiting for their drinks, even our dog took a picture with it! Another unique thing is that they have a magnet wall for the seating chart and we used that to make polarid magnets of all our guests which was a huge hit! You can customize the image you want displayed on the projector or play videos, photos, etc. as well! Millwick allows your vision and creativity to come to life and the sky is the limit. Whatever you are envisioning, share it with Clare, Dana, and your wedding coordinator and they will be there to support you every step of the way and give you great tips! Their preferred vendors are seriously the best ever!! Majority of mine were from their list and they really made my wedding exceed all of my expectations, my husband and I both had one of the best night of our life because of Millwick, the Marvimon team, and all our amazing vendors who made our vision come to life to a whole another level of perfection!! Thank you Millwick!! We can't wait to visit you again!

St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the very beginning, their communication was wonderful - they were responsive, accommodating, and made the planning process easy. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The church itself is very pretty, with beautiful stained glass that created a stunning backdrop for our outdoor reception dinner on the patio. We asked them to keep the lights on inside so the glass would be illuminated at night, and it looked breathtaking. Many of our guests said it was the most lovely wedding they had ever attended. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. The guests really appreciated not needing to drive anywhere after the ceremony. Also, the bride and groom photoshoot was at the Bradbury building and just on the sidewalk outside the church. Very pretty for wedding photo backdrops.

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!

What can I say? The Revery will FOREVER be a place that holds a special place in my husband and I's heart. Monica, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with. She is very particular but she is upfront about her rules from the very beginning and never tried to add any hindrance to what we wanted. She was super communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Then - there's the venue itself. We ended up having all three events there. Ceremony (outdoor veranda), Cocktail Hour (upstairs photo studio), Dinner (indoor veranda). Even though it's a "white" space where you have to bring everything in, we LOVED this component because we felt like we were able to design our wedding from start to finish. The blank canvas provided us with an opportunity to really add our own personality. This was the first decision we made when it came to our wedding planning and it was the BEST one we could've made. We love you, Revery!! xo

I’ve been going to golden road for years since I live nearby but this past Friday we chose to hold our rehearsal dinner/welcome party there for our wedding and it was AMAZING. From booking months ago, the events staff was incredibly helpful with communication in planning the event. They have excellent packages to choose from based on your guest count and preferences. The buffet for the rehearsal dinner was delicious, fresh, and friendly to dietary restrictions and the snacks we served at the welcome party ie donuts and pretzel bites were also phenomenal. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and all of our guests were raving about what a great night they had. THANK YOU GRB for a truly incredible and stress-free start to my wedding weekend.

We're so glad we went with SmogShoppe.

I have worked at the Maxwell House a couple of times, specifically with Reid. He is always professional and clear about the house rules, fees and what exactly is included for an event or wedding. He will bend over backwards for you to try to fullfill your requests. On actual event days, there is an onsite venue coordinator overseeing the venue and is periodcically checking in with the event coordinator. In the times I have worked there, it's been pleasant and organized. There is a very detailed checklist leading up to your event to be sure all is covered and addressed. Highly recommended venue.

The space itself is huge and adaptable, so it’s great for different types of events. The owners Nataly and Jessica are amazing hosts and really go above and beyond to make things run perfectly.
