We loved Candela!

We had a really tough time finding a space for our wedding reception. The minute we walked into Candela La Brea, we knew it was the place for us. Aside from Candela’s modern look, it was already equipped with a bumping sound system, great lighting, projectors, tables, and really great furniture. We worked with Omar, Maria, Fabiola, and several members of the Candela team. Everyone was so great and accommodating from beginning to end. There were a lot of details to get through and a lot of back and forth for so many things and Omar and the crew made the whole process so smooth for us. We had to postpone our wedding and Omar and Candela worked with us to switch our date without a glitch, which was truly appreciated. We wanted our wedding celebration to be a PARTY, and Candela ended up being everything we wanted and more. We had about 165 guests and everyone fit perfectly, with a huge dance floor right in the middle. Our guests raved about Candela’s food, drinks, sound system, and how beautiful the venue looked. We rented out the front space for our cocktail hour and our guests moved into the main room for the rest of the night. We will always remember walking into Candela on the day of our wedding and seeing how beautiful everything looked from our vision finally coming together. We are so grateful to Omar, Maria, and everyone at Candela for being one of the big reasons that made our wedding day so memorable and special.

Omar and the Candela team are fantastic!

I can rave about this place and the Candela team all day. Over last weekend (8/28/21), I rented the loft event space for my wedding. Not only did Omar and his team answer every question I had, he made sure every single detail was taken care of. Planning a wedding is one of the hardest things I've done but Omar made it so much easier. There was plenty of open communication and lots of checking in.

I opted in for the premium 1 hr open bar, assorted appetizers, taco bar, and churro desserts for my guests and everyone couldn't stop raving about the food. In true wedding fashion, I wasn't able to eat much, but what I did taste was delicious.

I want to also shout out Maria and Hector and our bartender (I wasn't able to get his name). They truly went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time.

Thank you Candela team! We can't wait to see ya'll again.

Amazing Candela!

Candela catered a large, A-List event hosted by the company I work for. Not only were they involved in every bit of the process from start to finish, they delivered everything seamlessly! The tray pass service was incredible, the taco bar was delicious, and aside from that-- the food tasted amazing. We also had their bartenders at our event, and not only were they quick, the cocktails were so delicious, different, and vibrant. Candela is a family owned business and you can feel the love and taste the attention to detail they give to everything on the menu. We loved having this team cater our event-- everyone was loving all the elements they provided & they're incredibly kind, and accommodating. We had some last minute twists and turns and they absolutely helped us navigate/ did it seamlessly! Thanks again and can't wait to dine in with Candela!
