We had our wedding at Yamashiro this past weekend and I can't imagine having a better and more smoothly run night.!! From the get-go, venue coordinator Sydney was a major pro. She was responsive, friendly and full of great insight on what tends to work and what doesn't.
The garden courtyard venue does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of being incredibly beautiful. But everyone was remarking on how good the food was, including the extremely popular sushi boat.
We felt very taken care of all night, and the staff were so kind and personable. I assumed we'd hit a snag or two, but honestly it was all pretty much perfect in execution. We feel so fortunate we were able to choose Yamashiro as our wedding venue -- as cliche as it sounds it was a completely magical night!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Sydney, the venue coordinator, and the entire staff were so accommodating and helpful! The venue itself, is, obviously, extremely beautiful, and is on a hill that overlooks LA. The view is amazing, and anyone visiting should definitely bring a jacket as it can be a few degrees colder on the hill! (Our wedding was in September).

From the very beginning, Sydney was very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had. We booked almost a year in advance, which wasn't super necessary, but it helped us figure out our plans. As we got closer to the day, all the details fell quickly into place, and Sydney knew the answers to everything. We really didn't need to worry about anything.

The food was buffet service, and it was really great. There were vegan options as well as gluten free, so all of our guests were taken care of. We also had a giant sushi boat during cocktail hour which was very popular and I'm told was eaten pretty quickly! Sydney made sure that we were taken care of the entire time and was very accommodating with the all the photos we took in the garden. Honestly couldn't have asked for more from Yamashiro, all our guests had a fabulous time, and we will definitely come back to visit in the future!

Perfect. Thanks Sydney. Great food

The staff at Yamashiro were amazing for the entire 10 month planning period. They were eager to answer any questions and fantastic on the day of the event. The whole evening when off without a hitch and I absolutely attribute that to Yamashiro's skilled and kind staff. Couldn't have asked for a better venue.

Our wedding at Yamashiro was amazing! We were extremely happy with not only how it turned out the day of, but also the work coming up to it. Bridget was very attentive, answering all our questions, and also making excellent suggestions - she's a gold mine of knowledge for how things work out, so taking her advice was definitely key for us. She also helped us figure out how to run the ceremony when we rehearsed the day before to work best with the garden setting. The day of the wedding, Reneice also jumped in and helped coordinate. They both went above and beyond to make sure things ran smoothly. We can not thank Bridget, Reneice and the entire staff enough for everything! Highly recommend considering Yamashiro for weddings, it's an extremely unique space among a sea of wedding venue options =)

Our coordinator, Bridget, was absolutely fantastic. She was prompt when answering emails and phone calls, and always made us feel like a priority, even while coordinating dozens of other events for Yamashiro at the same time. Our wedding day was perfect. All of our guests had a great time, and we wouldn't have done a thing differently. We hope Yamashiro sticks around for years to come so that we can celebrate our anniversaries at your venue. Who knows, maybe we even have a bar mitzvah in our future. Thank you to the entire staff for making our lives worry free during what could've been an overwhelming occasion! Alysia and Ben Weintraub

Our wedding at Yamashiro was absolutely beautiful with incredible food and drinks, and (thanks to Bridget & John!) was a breeze to plan. Our ceremony took place in the beautiful outdoor garden and our reception also included the attached (and air conditioned!) skyview room with incredible views of the LA skyline. The food options are plentiful and nearly all of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. We were also thrilled to have Yamashiro create a beautiful (& yummy) sushi display for our cocktail hour!

The space and food are incredible, but what really made this venue amazing was Bridget Kerley, our day-of coordinator. Bridget worked with us for months before the wedding to ensure that everything was perfect. Since we were planning our wedding from Rhode Island, Bridget spent hours over email and on the phone with me to work out our menu, the seating floor plan, the day of timeline and countless other things (including saving some of the aforementioned sushi for my husband and I to enjoy after our pictures were taken!). Throughout the entire process, and most importantly throughout the entire wedding day, I could relax knowing that Bridget had everything under control. Bridget and her team are among the best and I would not hesitate to recommend her and Yamashiro to anyone looking for the perfect wedding day.

We absolutely loved getting married at Yamashiro and got great feedback on the venue from our guests as well!

The venue is stunning and we were able to take great photos with the city skyline as a backdrop.

As for the team at Yamashiro, Bridget was such a pleasure to work with! She is detail oriented, super personable and worked extremely well with our day of coordinator.

The food also got rave reviews and bonus points for Yamashiro being very accommodating to our vegan guests.

We rented out both the garden courtyard and the adjacent skyview room which made for a really nice flow for the event and accommodated our 65 guest crowd very nicely!

Highly recommend Yamashiro if you want a gorgeous venue with breathtaking views, a very capable and dedicated events team and delicious food and drinks!

We had our wedding at Yamashiro and could not be happier. The amount of guests who have come to us saying it was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever been at was incredible. Additionally - John, Bridget and Reneice are AMAZING. They make it so that you almost don't have to worry about anything. The food was great, at the wedding Bridget handled all things that came up and still managed to always have a drink in hand for my husband and I. Her calm demeanor and attention to detail made this a dream. I highly recommend Yamashiro - it was so memorable and I can't even count how many people told us it was the most fun, best food, most beautiful wedding they have been at. Thank you Yamashiro!

John, Bridget and the entire staff were such a pleasure to work with! From the moment that I booked the venue until the day of my wedding, they were always prompt in their responses and always available for any questions and requests that I had.
