Run don't walk to host your wedding with Marvimon
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!!
Marvimon will make your dreams come true
SmogShoppe and the Marvimon team were the perfect venue and people to help us bring our paebaek and reception vision to life. From scheduling our initial tours to the actual execution of the event, everything was seamless. The Marvimon team were incredibly responsive, communicated all expectations and rules, and were so supportive whenever I had the anticipated wedding panic when things didn't line up perfectly. Guests couldn't stop gushing about how interesting and unique our venue was, and the team really helped us to have the most perfect reception and wedding day. We felt that the price was reasonable and fair, that the facilities were clean and well maintained, and that it reflected who we were as a couple. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Dream venue with a dream team
If you're looking for a unique special venue to say I do, the search stops with the SmogShoppe. We were immediately drawn to the layout of the space with its ideal blend of indoors outdoors and quintessential L.A.-cool vibes. The designated couple's loft provided privacy a welcomed escape throughout our special day. A lush (and generous) living wall makes the perfect backdrop for a ceremony offers many Instagram-able moments your guests (and photographer) will love. The SmogShoppe team is attentive, communicative creative. They'll support your vision to make your wedding extra special!
SmogShoppe is the perfect venue
SmogShoppe is such a stunning venue and we were so happy with it for our wedding. From the gorgeous exterior greenery to the quirky, fun interior design and details, SmogShoppe feels very unique, but also homey and welcoming. The Marvimon team is also excellent - quick to respond, knowledgable and truly dedicated to ensuring your event runs as smoothly and as best as possible. I highly recommend using SmogShoppe (or any of the Marvimon properties) for your next event!
