Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Innovation and inspiration reign at this spectacular boutique venue, located just 10 minutes from the heart of Los Angeles. You'll impress your guests as soon as they arrive, with a wonderful view of City Hall and the San Gabriel Mountains from an expansive tiled plaza that's perfect for perfect for a ceremony, an al fresco cocktail reception, or a convenient valet drop-off before moving inside for the main festivities.
- The 25,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom—the largest in the San Gabriel Valley—can be divided into 10 separate sections to comfortably accommodate an intimate gathering or a grand gala for over 1,000. Its neutral, modern interior is a blank canvas on which you can paint your own vision, and an adjacent lobby adds a glamorous touch, with a sparkling terrazzo floor and artistic, freeform chandeliers.
- Other venue options abound: the Historic Exhibition Hall boasts a 30-foot ceiling, tall arched windows, and chandeliers original to the building, just steps from the grand Civic Auditorium; above the auditorium, the Gold Room is ideal for smaller soirees, with a rosette ceiling and elaborate moldings. The talented in-house culinary professionals specialize in California cuisine with a focus on fresh, locally grown ingredients.
