The perfect venue

Crafted at The Port of LA is an amazing venue. We held our corporate event of over 200 people in their large space. The venue is a huge blank slate that can be customized to fulfill your wildest imagination. The staff is amazing and helped us create a memorable event. Everything was perfect.

Excellent Experience. Would Recommend.

Britta helped us manage quite a few aspects of our event and worked out kinks before we knew they were occurring. If we said we wanted X amount of food, she told us to double it and was spot on with her estimates. She helped us find the right vendors and logistics companies in addition to helping with those day of fires that popped up.

I can't give Britta a better review. She was responsive, knew her craft, and helped make our event the best one we've thrown in fifteen years. Cheers!

unconventional and flexible

as a wedding planner, I had a great experience working with CRAFTED. The venue is large enough to host any types of events but for our 230people wedding, it was a perfect stage for a ceremony and reception. If you're looking for an unconventional, unique, urban, and untraditional- this is the place. There is so much room to get creative with floor plan, vendor selection, and decor as the venue and their staff (Britta is awesome) is super flexible and supports your ideas and vision. Highly recommend CRAFTED for your next event.

Very knowledgeable and professional

Britta, Jane, and team are very knowledgeable and professional. They have tons of experience and guide all their clients through each of the planning phases so that no questions go unanswered. The venue itself is spacious, unique, and great for small and large events. I've had multiple events at the venue (with up to 800 guests) and thanks to the staff, it was a complete success every time. When you book here, you're not just getting any venue, you have an entire team on your side. I can't say enough great things about the space and staff.

Amazing experience

I had the pleasure of working with the team at Crafted for my wedding last May. It was an INCREDIBLE experience. From start to finish, Jane was flexible, accommodating, knowledgeable, and just an over all joy to work with. She and her team truly made our day the best day of our lives. I would HIGHLY recommend Crafted to anyone that needs an event space.

Perfect Wedding Venue

We had a wonderful wedding in a perfect open family atmosphere. The warehouses were a convenient and CoVid friendly space for both our Ceremony as well as an awesome Reception. Having Caterer and Beer/wine available as well is a plus!

Great at First, then Dissappointing

My husband and I got married at Crafted around 8 months ago. We are now far enough from the stress that might cloud our judgement to write a review and hopefully help others in their venue search!

Initially, we loved Crafted because of their large space that could accommodate so many guests and the fact that they only had one required vendor (Del Rey party rentals..which was its own shit show), which gave us flexibility to choose our own vendors and stay within budget.

There were a multitude of little things that seemed off about Crafted, but ultimately, Jane, our contact, while friendly and welcoming, was terrible at replying to emails, promised us a rehearsal slot that she then gave away to a different couple only a few months before our wedding, gave us outdated info/pricing about their bar services, promised meetings with other potential vendors that never happened, and generally gave us no direction in regards to the venue.

Thanks to some truly wonderful vendors, our wedding worked out ok in the end, but this was a good example of a venue that promised a lot, then half-assed in their execution. If you choose Crafted, beware of the extra work you will need to do to make it happen due to their less than satisfactory communication skills and lack of follow-through.

Beware! This place will scam you!

Quick Summary:
Do NOT host your wedding here! Crafted will SCAM you out of your money. The venue coordinator, Britta, is very unprofessional, rude, and lacks communication skills.
—————————
The Details:
During our wedding process, we had asked Britta multiple times about Covid requirements. Every time we asked, she never gave us clear, upfront answers. This made us very anxious because we wanted to be sensitive to the situation. One month before our wedding date (at the END of our final walkthrough), Britta told us that our guest list of 140 people needed to be fully vaccinated. Normally this would have been fine, however, we had 4 weeks to get everyone fully vaccinated. I’m sure everyone knows at this point, but fully vaccinated means two weeks AFTER your second dose. And you need to have at least 21 days between your first and second dose. So if you do the math, that is not enough time for everyone to be fully vaccinated. We pleaded for negative Covid tests instead, to which we were told “the owners don’t want to deal with it.” This obviously created a huge issue. We had no idea who in our guest list was partially, fully, or unvaccinated because this was the first time we had heard anything about Covid requirements. We also had vendors who were unvaccinated, so we had to cancel them as they wouldn’t have been allowed in the building.
Two weeks after telling us this information, Britta informed me that they had made a mistake and that unvaccinated WOULD be allowed in the building with a negative Covid test. We couldn’t get our vendors back on such short notice. At this point, I was so frustrated with the way Britta handled things, I just wanted my money back and to forget the whole thing. She informed me that “Crafted will just keep your money.” Crafted has been very insensitive and unhelpful in this situation. It’s been a month and they still haven’t responded, or resolved this issue with me. They ruined what is supposed to be the best time of someone’s life. Do yourself a favor and SKIP THIS WEDDING VENUE.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
