Museum Wedding Venues in Los Angeles

I found this venue after typing in budget friendly venue options. Now hear me out… This is an all inclusive space and if you have a budget, I assure you that Monica will help you stick to that. When we had our very first meeting and I received my quote I told her that this is where I wanted to stay And we made it happen. The venue does not need much as it is beautiful on its own. We had the entire venue for the entire day so that allowed us to not have to rush and so I think that that is an option to explore if that is within your budget. Everything was what I imagined it to be! The only hiccup was the lighting was not what I requested, but in the big scheme of things I’m not going to dwell on that. Monica, was our person for the venue. She is extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with. My wedding was perfect!

I am new in LA and they made it so easy that I know we made the right decision choosing the NHM LA. People are very professional and willing to help.

We just had a ceremony in the Rose Garden, and it was perfect. This garden is a true gem in Los Angeles. There are so few places to get married in an actual garden, but this is one of them - and it's gorgeous.

We fell in love with this venue from the start for its clean lines, open spaces, and modern yet warm architecture. After visiting a number of museums, we decided on the Autry for its location, ample ceremony and reception space, plentiful free parking, and attentive event services staff. The venue did not disappoint the day we got married. Our guests remarked all night long what a unique and fun place this was to have a wedding. Corporate Events Manager Wendy Esensten was wonderful when working closely with our caterer and coordinator. She ensured that building logistics ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better place to hold both our ceremony and reception.

We are so grateful to have gotten married at Long Beach Museum of Art! The staff are incredible, so kind and helpful, and the setting is stunning. From the start of our wedding process LBMA was wonderful to work with, super prompt with answering all of our questions and true experts. On the day of the event, everything was well organized, the setting was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the vibes we are amazing. LBMA will forever be part of our story and we are so grateful for it! We are so glad we chose LBMA as our wedding venue!

Would absolutely refer the El Segundo car museum to a friend. If you don't want a stuffy hotel wedding, want something more laid back, this is your place. Very excited to host our wedding here in 2020. venue is exposed brick which makes decorating easy. A major bonus is that the museum is open to your guests through the reception. Seats 240 people. You can bring in your own catering and prices are so reasonable. its located in the south bay just a few miles away from the airport.

We chose Porsche because my husband is a car enthusiast and we are local to the area. I was a very indecisive bride and made many changes throughout our planning process. Initially I wanted a guest list of 40, but the end result included 105 and Porsche was our selection for both sizes. As expected, there were some mishaps during the planning process, but what made Porsche stand out is how they handled and moved forward. I worked with Jeff Smith, Oliver Alexander and Ashley - all were very knowledgeable, professional and attentive. The execution, team work and day of staff were impeccable. My family couldn't stop talking about how great the service was the night of my wedding. I didn't have to get meal orders in advance as their team is well equipped to handle taking orders and noting allergies the night of (less stress for this bride leading to the night of! a plus!) Also, the staff made sure (we) bride and groom were serviced first and had some food to take home. Not to mention, the space is a unique place to have a wedding. I would do my wedding reception all over again with Porsche! We loved it! Only thing to note is the admin fees and taxes, which are definitely on the higher end per my coordinator. But, it's for good measure and it's to take care of their staff who are all well-deserving of it!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is. If you and your SO love the beach, fish, or just a nautical theme, then the Aquarium of the Pacific is a PERFECT venue. One of the first things my now-husband and I started talking about before we dated was aquariums we had/have. So 4 years later, when the topic of wedding venues came up, we thought of the Aquarium of the Pacific. It's unique, has a built-in entertainment for guests (they can view the exhibits between ceremony and reception), and perfectly suited to both our tastes and interests. Cristen Flores, their catering sales manager, is professional, easy to work with, and simply amazing! I know the Aquarium is constantly busy with events, especially over the weekend, and yet she still manages to respond promptly to emails. Some weekends might take a little longer to get a response, but never long enough to be concerning. I am honestly impressed how she stays on top of everything, given how busy they are. The main possible cons that I can see affecting others are few and far in-between. Even then, they're only drawbacks depending on your individual budget and priorities. - One is that they do require you to at least have a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding. Even if you plan it yourself like I did, a wedding coordinator has been a lifesaver for our wedding. I would recommend one of their preferred coordinator/planner, Monique Provance, if you can include that in the budget. Her help has been invaluable. - You can only use their in-house catering. If you are set on a particular caterer, you would have to choose between them or this venue. For us, we really wanted this venue so we were fine with using their catering. Everything was delicious, so we have no regrets ourselves. Also because of this, I would totally recommend the venue to any of my friends getting married. None of that "I don't want them to copy my venue," since I would totally love to eat their food again! - They only have 1 scheduled group tasting per year. If your wedding is between this year's and next year's tasting, you get scheduled to go to someone else's event and try their food. This is what we were most concerned about, since we had plated meals and everyone was asking us what we were serving, and we didn't know for the longest time. However, once we did have the food tasting, it was simply delicious! We got to try that particular event's food choice, and it did make me regret (just a little) that we couldn't do a group tasting and try other things on their menu. I kinda wish they had at least 2 tastings per year, or even a seasonal one (spring, summer, fall, winter). - Lastly, there was a mild hiccup during my wedding when one of the volunteers almost didn't want to let me in early to take photos (as I was in full wedding dress, hair, and makeup). Thankfully it got fixed pretty quick, but I just think it shouldn't have happened. It just sucked a little that my parents couldn't get in early either, but at least we got them in before the procession started too.

I can't say enough positive things about my wedding at the Palos Verdes Art Center; it was nothing short of perfect. I went with their All-Inclusive Package, which was the best decision for me because I'm no event planner. Desiree, who is the venue's day-of coordinator was a blessing, she was on top of everything, listened to all my ideas, and she put together the perfect nautical-themed reception. Their caterer, Gold Star Catering, was also incredible; I received so many compliments on the food. And Gina, who made our wedding cake, did an incredible job. The guests still rave about how much fun they had at the wedding, and I think that's a testament to how wonderful this venue and its vendors are.
