The Oviatt is an Art Deco-inspired wedding venue located in the once penthouse and rooftop two-level terrace in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Chic and sophisticated, this space was originally built in 1928 as a lavish penthouse for roaring 20's king, James Oviatt. Now an alluring event space with all of it's ornate and historic details and charm, couples are welcome to celebrate their love with up to 120 of their closest loved ones.

Facilities and Capacity

Defined by its opulent ambiance, The Oviatt exudes an authentic sense of old-world charm and luxury. Inside the penthouse couples will find a study, living room for gathering, a elegant bedroom used typically as a "getting ready room," and a true art deco bar and cocktial lounge. The two-story rooftop terrace is typically where nuptial festivities and the culinary experience takes place.

Interior features include Lalique glass decor, mahogany furniture, parquet wood floors, and many carved woodworks. Despite a seemingly niche aesthetic, the rooms have a high degree of flexibility for you to incorporate your own sense of style. Outside, the terrace is spacious and provides panoramic views of Downtown Los Angeles surrounded by city lights.

The event team is happy to erect a tent on the top level when the weather calls for it.

10/10 Perfect Wedding!

10/10 this is the perfect Venue. It’s right in the heart of downtown LA. The views of the LA skyline from the rooftop are incredible. I love that they kept all the original wood, furniture and artwork of the penthouse. It is such a unique space to have an event because there are so many areas to explore and take in - it’s a very dynamic space, something for everyone.

The staff is incredible, I cannot praise them enough. They are so accommodating and helpful. We worked mostly with Lindsey and Gabe, who were such a delight to work with. I really felt the love and passion they both have for the venue and their work. I can not recommend this venue more; with the help of Lindsey and the staff, they made my dream wedding come true. Lindsey was always responsive and available on the day of. Her attention to detail was great - she noticed the table numbers were different than that on our portal and brought it up, but was adaptable to what we had set!

If you want an incredible event that will impress, go the Oviatt. There are also numerous hotels on the same block which made everything that much easier.

Wedding at The Oviatt

My husband and I are so glad we found The Oviatt. When we first spoke with Gabe, we knew we were in good hands. He was super friendly, really attentive, and made sure to address all our needs/concerns. The space itself is stunning – it has a timeless, vintage vibe and amazing views of DTLA – it was exactly what we were looking for. Gabe was very communicative and patient throughout the process and helped us make the decision to book the venue without seeing it ourselves.

Once we booked, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Lindsey, who helped bring our vision to life. She made the planning process stress-free and seamless, and everything went so smoothly on the big day. Lindsey answered every question I had and offered alternatives/solutions to anything that came up. She was also very patient when it came to details we hadn't finalized. We held our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at The Oviatt. We had around 90 guests. We went with one of their preferred catering vendors, California Cookout, which our guests loved (the tri-tip was a particular favorite!). The Oviatt truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we are so grateful for the team who made it all come together.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
