About

On a tree-lined street in a residential neighborhood, a Long Beach landmark has been reborn. One of three Southern California women’s clubs built in 1924, the Long Beach building has been privately purchased and re imagined into one of Southern California’s most beautiful historic venues.

With its decades-long legacy the venue has been officially designated as historic venue in Long Beach. The Ebell also has distinctive architectural features and is a prime example of the Spanish-Revival design favored during the 1920’s. Featuring the characteristic red-tile roof and a soaring intricately sculpted portico makes a dramatic statement and beautiful backdrop for photographs. Rich details and a variety of textures allow you to experience intimacy and grandeur in one stunning venue, making your event possibilities limitless.

While the original structure has been carefully restored, the Ebell's 25,858 square feet of event space has been renovated by the experts responsible for creating the stunning Carondelet House in Los Angeles.

A light drenched, sky-lit, covered courtyard with coffered, hand-stenciled ceilings, exposed brick, detailed archways, ornate fountain and mosaic cement floor tiles is the first room to greet guests and provides one of many “wow” factors. A dozen crystal orb chandeliers hang like jewels from the ceiling and make the room truly opulent.

The fully furnished parlor room offers several exquisitely styled seating vignettes with vintage décor and tasteful artwork. Exposed white washed brick, tapestries and a handsome hearth in the room’s center create a cozy, personal ambiance. During the cocktail hour, leave the room’s French doors wide open to reveal the sparkling courtyard fountain in the background. A perfect setting for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

The stately ballroom has soaring 24 ft. hand-stenciled, beamed ceilings and dazzling crystal and iron chandeliers. High, detailed wainscoting, iron wall sconces, gleaming hardwood floors and a mirrored, floor-to-ceiling hand carved fireplace make this one of the most majestic rooms in Southern California.

Best Venue We Could Have Chosen

The Ebell was at the top of our price range so it was a difficult yes for us, but I have to say, I feel like we got every bit of value out of it. The food was amazing – we had so many compliments from our guests. Jen, Katie and the team were so responsive, always replying within 24 hours (but usually within only a few). The venue is gorgeous and so well-decorated that you don't need to add much decor. They accommodated us whenever they could. We had 120 guests, with the "sweet spot" for this venue at 100 - 120. We made the price work by doing our own florals, doing signature drinks instead of a full open bar, and having musician friends do sound and music. The event was truly magical and I always felt like we were in the best hands. Our guests described it as the perfect wedding. Thank you, Ebell team!!

Perfect Venue

This was the perfect wedding venue! The space is just as beautiful as it looks in pictures, and the food is delicious - as are the drinks! I highly recommend the short rib!

Working with Katie and Jen was a breeze. They were super communicative and compassionate, and the chef was extremely accommodating to our wedding's many dietary restrictions.

The space is laid out perfectly for a wedding, and they have truly got the whole flow down pat. Getting married here was truly a dream.

You Won't Regret Booking the Ebell of Long Beach For Your Wedding

We booked the Ebell Long Beach for our wedding on February 24, 2024 and besides the fact that it was hands down the most gorgeous venue we'd seen, the people that we worked with solidified our decision. We worked with Jen from our very first tour of the venue up until the day before our wedding when she helped us put the finishing touches on our big day. For over a year, she was consistent in her very fast response times (we're talking hours, if not minutes) and eagerness to make our event feel like one-of-a-kind. When our family members showed up to the venue without an appointment, she gave them a tour on the spot. This is just one example of the attentiveness she showed us when she was undoubtedly juggling hundreds of other couples at the same time. Another invaluable team member of the Ebell LB was Katie. She stepped in a couple months ahead of our wedding for our design meeting to handle all of the event's logistics including layout, vendors, and timeline. She was gracious and creative when it came to problem-solving, something that we were so grateful for since she was the one representing the venue. Even after getting engaged the week before our design meeting, she made it all about us when we should've been celebrating her!!! Katie and our coordinator worked so well together to ensure that our wedding day went without a single hiccup. Lastly, Chef Adam, a chef for Tres LA, was another invaluable member of the team who made our wedding day perfect. On the day of our tasting, Chef Adam personally came out after each course to ask for our feedback. This was totally unexpected and an incredible experience because beyond being able to select our menu from an extensive list, we were able to personalize it even further. He even accommodated us when we asked to include pigs in a blanket as one of our hors d'oeuvres, which wasn't on their menu to begin with! We're not exaggerating when we say that most of our guests followed up with us that this was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The excellence and consistency that we received from this team made our planning journey smooth, and we're so lucky that the Ebell LB is now a meaningful place in our lives and our relationship.

Once in a Lifetime Venue

We had an amazing experience having our wedding at the EBell Club Long Beach. We fell in love with the unique look and feel of the venue. So much so that it was a destination wedding for us and our guests (we’re from the east coast). We really couldn’t find another venue as eye opening and memorable. Each room was the perfect backdrop for our wedding pictures, whether it was the lush greenery in the courtyard, beautiful tiles, enchanting lights, or charming fixtures in the parlor. Jen, Katie, and the Tres LA team were wonderful to work with. They were organized, communicative, accommodating, and promptly responded to any questions we had. Their warm and approachable demeanor made the entire wedding planning process so much easier. They really cared about providing us and our guests with an unforgettable event. Moreover, Tres LA offered a diverse menu, beautiful plating, and delicious food. They were able to make fully custom drinks that had special meanings to us. The entire team went above and beyond what we wanted. We’re so happy we decided to have our once in a lifetime event at a once in a lifetime venue.

The Perfect Venue For An Unforgettable Day

We fell inlove with the Ebell Long Beach right from the beginning and knew that this would be the perfect place to host the most important day of our lives, our wedding. The venue itself is stunning. So much so that over the course of the planning, every time we came back, we had to pause for a moment to just take it all in.

Our events manager Jen was a joy to work with! She was always prompt, engaging, friendly, and gave great recommendations.

The wedding day came and the venue was on point, service was great and the catered food from Tres LA delicious. Our guests loved the venue, enjoyed all the food and had a truly wonderful time . The venue definitely played a big part in making our wedding more than we could have hoped.

My husband and I were married at the Ebell last month and were so delighted to have found the venue. It swept us away and could not have been more perfect. The team there was a pleasure to work with. It was very convenient having the catering in house. We had countless guests exclaim that it was the best food they had at a wedding.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Ebell on September 8th. I couldn't have been happier. The location is gorgeous and all of our guests were blown away. The staff I worked with throughout planning were amazing and quick to respond. If I had a question or an issue they always handled everything quickly and efficiently. If I could do it all over again I would choose this venue again. It might be on the pricier side but it was totally worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
