Katie Prater Dec 13, 2022
I knew I didn't want a "generic" wedding in a hotel, strip mall venue, or dance hall. I wanted something that would not only reflect our personalities as a couple, but something that would leave our guests speechless and conversing for months afterwards.
When I found The Oviatt on Wedding Wire, I reached out to Gabe from the venue immediately. We set up a time to come tour the facility and even though this was the first out of 3 venues we looked at in person, I knew it was the one. The iconic Los Angeles history of the building, the gilded details, the touches of romance within the architecture, everything felt like a fairytale come to life. I KNEW this is where I had to say my "I Dos".
Once we decided on our date, working with gabe, his team, caterer, and online portal were all so convenient. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to host ANY special event. From the gold and wood elevator taking you to the 13th floor, The starry hallway, the romantic bridal suite, and every detail in between. This venue is the venue of dreams.

Beautiful location. I came here for my brothers wedding. The rooftop wedding setting was stellar. My only gripe was that the bathrooms and layout of the location is odd. For example, small barriers on the floor to denote the balcony area from the room. Why?? Its just a tripping hazard.

Wow where do I start with the amazing Oviatt Penthouse. This is a beautiful historical Penthouse very well kept as true to the 20's as possible. It used to belong to a very wealthy couple who loved to enjoy life to the fullest and you can feel it in the air when you are there. Of course you can't talk about this place without talking about the fabulous views of Downton LA. It literally gets hardly more unique and beautiful when you are on the roof top surrounded by LA. Definitely a most see if you are visiting Los Angeles.

My husband and I had our wedding here in May of 2018. The venue itself is stunning. Inside has the feel of an Old Hollywood/Art Deco museum while outside is breathtaking with two floors of spectacular downtown views. The lighting was great and there are so many different locations for photos, both inside and out. Most of our guests were from out of town and loved getting a taste of the heart of L.A. Not only is the venue absolutely fabulous, Nicole is lovely to work with. She was always great at getting back to me whenever I had a question or issue. Catering must be through their company Truly Yours (don’t worry, the food is great) and I highly recommend using their preferred vendors for everything else. A couple of things I loved about using their recommended vendors- every single person I worked with made planning a breeze with minimal stress, they all had already been vetted by other couples and the venue, and all of them were genuinely excited to find out our wedding was there. It left me super confident in our choices and that all paid off the night of our wedding.

It looks really nice... in pictures. Every picture has the LOVE sign in it... What you can't tell is how small it really is. The love sign is on a roof top terrace area and it's not very spacious. I would not recommend this place for anything but small weddings (less than 80 total). If you're approaching 100 or higher, don't bother. Unless you really love it when you're guests are crammed in like canned tuna in the interior hallways.
Also the layout of the interior is such that, all your guest will be fragmented. There is only 2 smallish spaces and one has the bar. Connecting the two is a very narrow hallway.
