Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This 1913 Long Beach landmark, designed by famed architect Elmer Gray—the mind behind the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel and the reason for "Elm" in this venue's name—was once showcased in leading architectural journals as a dramatic exemplar of the grandeur and richness of the era. With diverse event spaces, a flexible all-inclusive approach, and the privacy of an exclusive rental, the sky's the limit for your spectacular celebration.
- On the second floor you'll find a luxurious grand ballroom accented by breathtaking 30-foot coffered ceilings and soaring windows that flood the space with light. We also love the industrial-chic Parlor, studded with columns and boasting original brick detailing, for a charming cocktail hour.
- The in-house professionals from renowned Bite Catering Couture are experts in designing fabulous menus and thoughtfully imagined, beautifully presented events. Creativity and customization is welcomed here; craft your own personalized vision supported by the detail-focused team, innovative high-end vendor partners, and spectacular spaces.
