We got married in the White Room at Founders and loved every second of it. The retractable rooftop gave us that open air feeling we wanted, and when our guests moved to the grand ballroom afterward, the transition felt seamless. The space is truly expansive, which made the room feel airy and not cramped even with everyone there. The lighting design throughout was stunning and really set the mood for the evening. Founders has an elegant style with vibrant décor that photographs beautifully, and the venue itself is a work of art. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a sophisticated space with room to breathe.

The Coordinator: Vida was simply phenomenal at what she did. She made great recommendations and the day of made sure things were executed to my wife and I’s liking.

Genuinely my favorite bar in LA. If you're looking for a certified good time, you need to check Eastwood out. Visited a couple times, and each visit has been incredible. The employees are all incredibly friendly and do a great job explaining all the fun activities here. The entrance to the bar feels like a Western film set. When you step into the bar, it's like you're walking into a completely different world. I love the cowboy theme so much. There's even a mechanical bull! You definitely will not be bored here because there are a plethora of things to do. First, the dance floor is always so fun. There are line dancing classes and plenty of enthusiastic dancers. The music is so good and very diverse - I've heard throwback hits, country music, cumbia, and more. Next to the dance floor is a vintage photo booth for cute photo strips. There's a whole section of arcade games, like basketball and air hockey. If you want to take your own photos, there's a ton of fun decor and cute backgrounds. The bar is well-stocked, and the drinks are solid. I always recommend Eastwood for a fun night out!
