Dream wedding venue in every way!
The Oviatt turned out to be a dream wedding venue in every way! If you’re at the beginning of your wedding planning process, you may have heard that wedding planning is extremely stressful. And, yes, it requires work, and a bit of stress is inevitable. But The Oviatt absolutely exceeded all expectations and made the planning process extremely easy, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish. When we kicked off our wedding planning, we felt overwhelmed and discouraged by the offerings and prices of venues in L.A. But finding The Oviatt completely turned our mindset around. Before visiting, we were impressed by the entirely positive reviews, then by the clarity and transparency of the website’s packages and pricing details, as well as by Gabe’s warm, friendly, and responsive emails. But it only got better when we arrived for our tour! The venue was stunning and unique, but, even more importantly, Gabe was welcoming and fun to chat with. He showcased just how prepared the venue is for weddings by having answers to every meticulous question we had, and he was refreshingly open about every detail. We had read reviews from people who only toured The Oviatt and immediately booked it, but, as very thorough people, we thought that would never be us. But it WAS us! We immediately fell in love with the venue, placed a soft hold during the tour, and quickly turned that into a full commitment. When you know, you know! From there, everything was incredibly smooth and easy, and we were always well taken care of. We booked the Art Deco Dreams package, which is truly a turnkey wedding solution unlike anything we found at any other venue. Catering, drinks, tables and chairs, linens, a lot of decor, the month-of coordinator, valet, security, staff, and even the DJ were all included in the package. Even the florals were done by The Oviatt’s coordinator, Jennifer, for a very reasonable extra fee. The only vendors we needed to book ourselves were the photographer/videographer and hair/makeup artist (and The Oviatt provided recommendations for those). Believe me when I say: centralizing all of your vendors through your venue makes the planning process a gazillion times easier and leaves very little room for error. Moreover, everyone we worked with was wonderful! Gabe, Cami, Lindsey, and Simone from The Oviatt were always quick to respond and fantastically helpful. Our coordinator, Jennifer, worked with us closely throughout the whole process and then was a ray of sunshine on the day of the wedding. All of the staff who worked the wedding day were great too. Knowing we were always in good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. The wedding day itself was fantastic! Everything went smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of! Guests were impressed by the venue’s aesthetics and appreciated having several spaces to hang out in, including the rooftop reception and dancefloor area, the upper terrace, and several indoor spaces. On top of all of that, The Oviatt’s packages are VERY reasonably priced. We did the math on quite a few venues, and you get far more bang for your buck at The Oviatt than you would at any comparable venue. If you’re looking for a spectacular wedding venue that’s surprisingly affordable and actually fun (not stressful!) to plan, I can’t recommend The Oviatt enough! We’re SO glad we got married there!

Amazing Venue!
The Oviatt is a beautiful art deco building transformed into a one-of-a-kind wedding venue. It is so unique and our guests can't stop talking about how cool the space is! The team at the Oviatt are friendly, professional, responsive, and super hard working. Service was seamless, drinks were perfection, and they were very easy going and accommodating. This was also one of the more affordable options we came across in Los Angeles. Our wedding was exactly how we wanted it!! They truly made our wedding the best night of our lives.

An Art Deco Oasis in the Heart of DTLA
Book this venue. We can and will explain all the reasons why, but if you’re in a hurry, all you need to know is that The Oviatt made our dream wedding a reality - and they can do the same for you. We fell in love with the venue the minute we stepped off the elevator for a tour. Rest assured that it lives up to the pictures: a one-of-a-kind Art Deco hideaway, lovingly preserved and full of beautiful furnishings and flourishes. We found that the space didn’t require much decoration, simply because the space itself was the decoration. Multiple guests told us how they gasped when the elevator doors opened and they saw the venue for the first time - which was exactly the reaction we wanted. The outdoor roof deck was perfect for our ceremony and reception. The clocktower and the city skyline made for a breathtaking backdrop all night long. We’re still getting our pictures back, and the downtown views made us and our guests look extra glamorous. But that’s only half the story. Yes, the venue is beautiful and historic. But the real reason we’re still glowing after our Oviatt wedding is all about the staff and the service. When we were planning our wedding, we saw a lot of historic venues that merely offer a cool space, leaving you to hire all the vendors and figure out all the other details. That’s not the case at The Oviatt. Gabe, Cami, and the rest of the crew made planning a wedding so convenient. They were responsive, knowledgeable, cheerful, and so helpful through every step of the process. And they set us up with an all-inclusive package that bundled bar service, linens and table settings, a delicious caterer (shout out to Nathan at California Cookout), and a spectacular coordinator who kept everything organized and on schedule. Our coordinator, the amazing Jennifer Donaldson of Willow and Bloom, even handled our florals for us. Bundling so many different vendors into a single package freed us up to focus on the fun parts of wedding planning. Getting married can be a stressful experience, but everybody at The Oviatt worked together to ensure that none of that stress came from our venue or vendors. And they went above and beyond to help us host a party that our guests are still buzzing about weeks later. If you have the opportunity to get married at The Oviatt, don’t pass it up. Book this venue.

A Truly Unforgettable Wedding Venue
We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Oviatt and the incredible team who made our wedding absolutely perfect. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed, making our celebration feel like a dream come true. The venue itself is breathtaking, timeless, and full of charm. Long after the wedding ended, our guests continued to describe it as “dreamy,” “romantic,” “elegant,” and “stunning.” It was the perfect setting for one of the most important days of our lives. A special thank you to Cami, the Oviatt’s Event Manager, and the entire staff for their professionalism, warmth, and dedication. The level of care and coordination they provided exceeded every expectation and allowed us to truly enjoy our day. If you’re considering The Oviatt, I highly recommend taking advantage of the all-inclusive experience and working with Jennifer from Willow & Bloom Events. Jennifer was an absolute joy to work with and one of the best decisions we made. She knows the venue inside and out, is incredibly organized and thoughtful, and has a remarkable ability to bring a vision to life while making the entire process feel effortless. Jennifer also created our floral arrangements at a very reasonable cost, and they were absolutely gorgeous. The florals perfectly complemented the venue and exceeded everything we envisioned. We received countless compliments from our guests on how beautiful they were. Looking back, we truly could not have asked for a better experience. The Oviatt gave us the wedding of our dreams. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding day.
