Single-handedly, the best decision my fiancé (now husband) made was choosing The Oviatt as our venue. From beginning to end, the Oviatt team was professional, kind, and willing to help every step of the way.

I first found The Oviatt on wedding websites like Zola and The Knot. I thought it was a cool venue, but initially I imagined going for a more rustic, warehouse vibe. That all changed once we toured The Oviatt. As we went up the vintage-style elevator, we really didn’t know what to expect. When we arrived, Gabe greeted us warmly and gave us an informative tour of every space in the beautiful penthouse and rooftop. My husband and I were literally starstruck. The Oviatt is unlike any other venue we had ever seen. We immediately fell in love.

After the tour, we sat down with Gabe and he walked us through all the details. The Oviatt team is amazing at this, it’s so important when choosing a venue to work with people who are transparent and willing to sit down with you, hop on a call, and answer all your questions. Lindsey, the Director of Events, who you’ll most likely meet after booking, was incredible at this. I changed my bar package about five different times because I just couldn’t decide, and she was always patient and helpful while guiding me through the options. Cami was another sweetheart who always responded to my emails quickly whenever I had questions.

On the actual wedding day, everything went perfectly. From start to finish, it truly felt like perfection. I would also highly recommend California Cookout and Willow & Blooms from their preferred vendor list...they were both fantastic.

I honestly couldn’t recommend The Oviatt enough. All of our guests loved the venue as well and couldn’t stop talking about it. It was truly such a special place, and everything about the experience was just amazing. I already miss it!

Our experience with this venue was absolutely incredible. Every staff member was so kind, helpful, and professional, and they made the entire wedding process feel easy and stress-free. Everything ran perfectly, and looking back I truly can’t think of a single thing I would change. A complete 10/10 experience, we’re so grateful to the whole team!

The Oviatt Penthouse was the first and only venue we toured. It was love at first sight. We wanted an Old Hollywood/jazz nightclub vibe and the venue just fit the bill. The interior is fully furnished and it will transport you back in time to an Art Deco era. Very minimal wedding decorations are needed. Outside, the view of DTLA day or night will take your guest’s breath away.

Once contract was signed, the planning process was easy peasy. They have a helpful Preferred vendor list so we were able to book a great caterer and day of coordinator right away. The Oviatt planning team, Lindsey and Cami, were so kind and patient with my multiple questions.

Day of the wedding, the Oviatt staff were a super hero team. They were in constant communication with each other and my wedding coordinator to run things smoothly. Also very sweet and friendly. Shoutout to valet, security, and bartender! ❤️

All in all, my wedding was a magical day thanks to the Oviatt’s wonderful atmosphere. After it was all over, I received multiple messages from guests raving about my wedding. Some told me it was one of the best and most unique wedding experiences they have ever attended. So if you want an affordable venue with historical character, I highly recommend booking The Oviatt Penthouse for your wedding.

The Oviatt made planning and enjoying our wedding exceptionally easy, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to another couple. In fact, two of our friends who'd recently gotten married at The Oviatt were the ones to recommend us the venue in the first place. They did not steer us wrong.

The initial touring and on-boarding process was seamless and attentive. We got clear answers to all of our questions and concerns, and the team had no trouble making adjustments as things evolved. The venue-related fees were all extremely reasonable for what you're getting, and we felt it was a tremendous value.

If you are someone who's overwhelmed by the planning of it all or doesn't have it in you to evaluate the hundreds of vendors out there, The Oviatt can streamline things through their vetted preferred vendors list. We used this extensively and had a similarly excellent experience with everyone we hired, from catering to photographers to floral. We were also able to find vendors from this list that were able to realize our vision while meeting our budget, which was healthy and had some breathing room but was not exorbitant.

We had a lot of extremely specific and arguably unusual requests that the venue team was happy to accommodate, even the week of. They were also there to troubleshoot when we encountered inevitable obstacles during the planning process.

The venue itself is as stunning as the photos promise. They've recently been doing some historic refurbishment/restoration work, and the results speak for themselves. We wanted an art deco jewel box, and we got that and more. The penthouse elevator made for a grand entrance statement, and the furnishings gave the proceedings opulence to spare. While there was some concern with how we'd fit 90 guests into the interior spaces for cocktail hour while the terrace was turned over for the reception, we found it actually wasn't any trouble at all. The upper deck remained available and allowed for natural crowd control. The scene was lively and exciting, to be sure, but never uncomfortable.

We really can't say enough kind things. The staff on the day were incredible, the attention to detail was immaculate, and everything went as perfectly as one can hope.

Our wedding at The Oviatt in downtown Los Angeles was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped inside this iconic venue, we knew we were in for something extraordinary — but the experience surpassed every expectation we had.
The hospitality from the Oviatt’s management team was impeccable.
Every interaction felt warm, seamless, and genuinely caring. They didn’t just host our wedding — they nurtured it. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and thoughtful guidance made the planning process effortless and allowed us to truly enjoy our big day without stress. Throughout the event, they were attentive yet unobtrusive, anticipating needs we didn’t even know we had. It felt like being taken care of by family who also happened to be seasoned event professionals.
And then there’s the Art Deco decor — the heart and soul of the Oviatt’s charm.
Stepping into this venue feels like being transported to a glamorous 1920s soirée. The craftsmanship is stunning: the intricate wood paneling, the warm amber lighting, the gleaming Lalique fixtures, and the timeless architectural flourishes create a romantic, cinematic ambiance that photographs beautifully from every angle. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how breathtaking the setting was — elegant, vintage, intimate, and unlike anything they’d ever seen.
The rooftop ceremony was equally enchanting, with the skyline creating a gorgeous backdrop that blended old Hollywood romance with modern LA energy. Every moment felt timeless.
Our wedding at The Oviatt wasn’t just an event — it was an experience, a memory etched in gold. If you’re looking for a venue that combines unparalleled hospitality with historic Art Deco beauty, this is the place that will make your special day truly unforgettable.

The Oviatt staff was fantastic and made our happily ever after event such a special moment for us. They worked with us on our bar menu and gave us a lot of freedom with making the space very intimate and personal. Being under the city lights of Los Angeles made this venue such a romantic tribute to the city that me and my wife fell in love in and grew up in. I'd recommend touring the venue before hand and pick a date that offers a lot of natural light. Thank you to the Oviatt for making an unforgettable night! Also look up Anna Luna with Festie Co. (Fantastic coordinator/planner!)

The Oviatt is an experience you will never forget! I hosted my "40 & Fab" birthday party there and the whole experience was seamless thanks to the Oviatt Team! Working in conjunction with XOXO Weddings as my event coordinator, everything was absolutely perfect! Gabe and Lindsey had a great planning portal to help keep everything organized and simple! It was the best event I could have dreamed of! Thank you, Oviatt Team!

Wow! This space is truly special, beautiful, and one of a kind. It's like stepping back in time.

We had our 70 person party back in early mid December. The Penthouse, had an easy flow from elevator through the space. Original Art-Deco details inside are very obviously meticulously maintained and very ornate. Pictures do not do the Penthouse floor justice, it's a must see. The tented patio area was just as amazing; kept the space comfortable but still airy and allowed you to take in the view of the surrounding downtown skyscrapers. If you wanted to get out and have a better view and catch a breeze, the smaller sky deck area above the tented patio offered that.

The venue staff are a 10/10 crew. Very friendly, helpful, organized, communicative, and flexible. Each member of the Oviatt team kept our event easy and low stress.

We would love to come back!

If you're planning to have a small intimate wedding, love the vibe of DTLA and want a venue with character and values inclusivity, The Oviatt is literally the perfect choice. Bonus point for being super affordable.

The Oviatt team made it really straightforward and easy for us from the jump. From the moment we inquired, Gabe got back to us really fast. He informed us immediately when another couple was interested on the date we were looking at and gave us ample time to lock it in. Lindsey and Cami were our main point of contact after signing the contract, they provide you a welcome kit with all the info you'll need (such as vendor insurance and how to acquire it, parking, rental they can provide, layout guidelines etc.) and a checklist along with their due dates for everything they'll need from you. They even have a preferred vendor list in the welcome kit which is going to help you LOADS in wedding planning. Going with one of their preferred caterers is highly recommended. Oh and their bar? 1000/10 delicious drinks. We still think about the espresso martini. seriously.
The value for money is incredible considering everything you'll get and zero hidden fees!

We're absolutely in love with this venue. It made our special day even more magical because of its natural charm and the Oviatt team was so lovely to work with. Not only did we fall in love with this place more, our guests did as well! We miss everything about this art deco hottie of a place.
