Incredible Venue and Staff
We had our wedding at The Oviatt in June 2026, and it was one of the best days of our lives. Not only is the venue stunning and unique in so many ways (all of which will be self-evident once you see it for yourself), but the staff are truly the best. Gabe, Lindsey, and Cami are so kind, helpful, organized, communicative, and on top of everything. We knew we were in good hands and, sure enough, the entire day ran seamlessly. One thing we especially loved was how well they accommodated our non-traditional timeline. The majority of our friends are dancers, so we made several timeline changes to maximize dancing and the overall party vibes. We had our 90 guests arrive directly into cocktail hour and kept everyone inside to explore the venue with drinks and small bites before opening the rooftop and having guests find their seats at their dinner tables. Since our ceremony was only about 15 minutes, we opted out of doing a room flip! We had our brief ceremony on the dance floor in front of the fountain, then released everyone to the dinner buffet while our immediate family joined us back inside for portraits. Afterward, we took our bride-and-groom portraits on the upper rooftop deck before returning to finish dinner. We had a couple of short toasts and then went straight into dancing. About an hour later, we opened up dessert inside in front of the gorgeous painting, then continued dancing until midnight. The Oviatt team helped make our day run so beautifully, and they worked seamlessly with our day-of coordinator and other vendors. We also chose one of their preferred caterers, California Cookout, which made coordination even easier. Having such a capable team gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our wedding. The combination of a one-of-a-kind venue and a staff who truly cared about guests' experience allowed us to have a wedding that felt completely like us, and we would recommend The Oviatt in a heartbeat.

Get married at the Oviatt!
The Oviatt exceeded our wildest dreams and expectations! Many venues simply give you four walls and a roof, and the rest is up to you. One thing we loved about Oviatt is that the venue already has a strong (and, in our humble opinions, extremely cool) aesthetic and a lot of decor that you can work with rather than creating a vibe from scratch. We booked the Art Deco Dreams package which reduced the overall amount of planning we had to do on our own, which was important to us since we didn’t work with a wedding planner. The DJ (Second Song), caterer (California Cookout) bar package, and month-of-coordinator (Jennifer Donaldson/Willow and Bloom) that Art Deco Dreams came with were all incredible! It was also great that the package came with tables, chairs, linens (you get to pick the colors), dishes, drinkware, and silverware. These inclusions were really amazing. We really didn’t want to have to worry about ordering simple things like forks, as you do at some other venues. And it’s not just convenience — their inventory looks great, too! As for other vendors, Oviatt provides a preferred vendor list which we did select our photographer and cake from. Because all vendors have worked with the Oviatt a lot, they each know the venue inside-out, eliminating growing pains that can sometimes come with getting to know a place. That’s another thing: Oviatt really has their stuff on lock. We felt extremely well taken care of. All the staff we worked with — Gabe, Cami, and Lindsey — were incredible! So friendly and extremely responsive. Wedding planning is stressful, but knowing we were in good hands provided such peace of mind. And then there’s the amazing vibes. Our schedule was designed around the sunset. Being surrounded by the beautiful skyline of DTLA as the sky turned pink from the setting sun and the twinkling lights of the city emerged was truly stunning. Our guests loved, and we mean loved, the venue. Many commented that they’d never been to an urban wedding before and that they were obsessed. It was also extremely convenient for both our guests who live in LA and our out-of-towners, given the proximity to many hotels, activities, and transportation. People really appreciated that. We cannot recommend the Oviatt highly enough. Our only complaint is that we don’t get to hang out there every weekend. Someone reading this, invite us please?

Exceptional Venue and Service
Choosing The Oviatt Penthouse & Event Deck for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and we do not regret it for a second. From our first conversation through the big day, the team was attentive and respectful, making us feel heard every step of the way. The staff went out of their way to help us with details and stayed accommodating throughout the entire planning process and during our celebration. The space itself is stunning, intimate yet spacious and provided the perfect backdrop for all our favorite moments. Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful the venue is and how well everything ran. We give The Oviatt a 10/10 and would recommend it to any couple looking for a memorable place to get married.

Book Them!
I can’t begin to express how thankful we are to have chosen the Oviatt as our wedding venue. They truly are a dreamy space filled with historic charm that creates a one of a kind guest experience. Beyond its beautiful space what makes this venue better than any other is the staff. Gabe, Lindsey, and Cami are extremely personable, knowledgeable, and take above and beyond to the next level. They consistently went out of their way to make sure everything we wanted was possible and that the day would be flawless. They are not the type of venue where you’re just a client to them, they really work with every event and every person as if you were the only event they were handling. We, unfortunately, had to switch our caterer 2 weeks before our wedding and The Oviatt Team immediately jumped in to help us find other caterers and make sure what we had originally asked for was still possible no matter what. This was beyond kind and helpful and totally unexpected. The Oviatts charm and stunning spaces feels like enough reason to book this venue however it's that staff that will make your wedding or event a once in a lifetime experience.

Vintage Elegance
From our first tour to the end of the big night, The Oviatt was truly outstanding. Our friends and family will be talking about this wedding for a long time. Memorable, unique, stylish...it has character. If you're artistic, inspired by the past, a lover of vintage and Old Hollywood, this is a most elegant venue.
