Description
To be honest, the idea of holding a wedding reception in an athletic club immediately brought to mind images of brides in white lycra and pumped-up grooms in sweats. This vision was quickly dispelled, however, the moment we walked into the Los Angeles Athletic Club’s first-floor lobby; its elegant wall-to-wall wood interior made it obvious that we had arrived at a very classy place.
Rich in both history and style, The Los Angeles Athletic Club was founded in 1880 by a small group of businessmen destined to become some of the city’s most influential citizens. In 1912 its members financed the construction of the present-day building that houses the Club’s 72 guestrooms and its recreational and special event facilities. Many remarkable people have since passed through its doors—Rudolph Valentino practiced the pugilistic arts here, Charlie Chaplin considered it his home base, and Johnny Weissmuller trained for the Olympics in the Club’s seventh-floor swimming pool (the first suspended pool in Los Angeles).
Ceremonies take place in the third-floor Main Lounge, the first area to greet you as you step out of a vintage elevator. Here, beautifully rendered horse sculptures in the style of Remington decorate sleek coffee tables. Spectacular polished wood paneling and original oils by Granville Redmond and other American masters give the room a striking atmosphere. Muted overhead lighting and the woodwork’s cinnamon hue create a level of traditional elegance that you would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. After exchanging vows, you can pose for photographs alongside the grand piano, while your guests stroll through the massive etched-glass French doors into the Main Lounge. A handsome, distinguished space, it features an imposing stand-alone bar, backgammon tables and Parisian wicker-backed chairs. Opposite the Main Lounge is the Main Dining Room, where reception revelries take place. An equally impressive room, with towering wood pillars and floor-to-ceiling windows framed by swag drapes, it can easily accommodate a large group. Seated in finely crafted continental chairs at exquisitely set tables, you and your guests will dine in consummate style.
The Club’s friendly, attentive staff will tailor your wedding package to your specific needs. A champagne toast, wine with dinner, and the wedding cake are all included, along with a well-appointed suite that awaits you at evening’s end.
