Grace E Simons Lodge Reviews

Best deals for your money!!! All in one location we absolutely loved this place

We were interested in hiring a wedding coordinator/decorator and we were introduced to Lisa Aguilar's work. We contacted Lisa and booked an appointment. We met with both Lisa and her daughter, Evelyn, who were not only professional, but also provided us with creative ideas for our wedding day. Lisa and her family have experience decorating Grace E. Simons Lodge for weddings and other events. We met with Lisa countless times and she was receptive to our needs. We have created a website not only for our wedding pictures but also to show Lisa's beautiful work.

This place is amazing with a selection of indoor and outdoor venue. It's a beautiful place and very a affordable. All day event including ceremony. You can not beat their price.

Gorgeous location, staff was helpful, had great recommendations on vendors. Locations for pictures was beautiful.

This venue was amazing, our guest kept telling us our wedding was so beautiful. We had a ceremony outdoors by the fountain and the reception was indoors. We couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out.

This venue is a bit of paradise. Its set in Elysian Park and is absolutely beautiful. It made for many beautiful pictures. The staff was very helpful and accomodating and the price is very reasonable. You need to provide all your own vendors, however for your beverage service you can only pick between two of their vendors. We chose Sunseri's and were very happy with them.

I'm so happy that we chose to have our reception here!

Bring your own Caterer,
Tables and Chairs provided at the venue
Has a ceremony site as well.
Affordable and you get refundable deposit after wedding.

They were very nice to talk with over the phone and set up times to meet. It's a lovely location in the middle of LA which is exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing location!! All guests loved it was a park yet able to have a very discrete intimate event.

This venue was amazing to have our wedding in. We didn't have any complaints whatsoever, the facility is clean and everything ran smoothly. I noticed there were maybe 1 or 2 extra security guards for a wedding of 70 seemed a bit much, but nonetheless, everyone had a great time at the venue.
Pros:
Great venue for the price
Beautiful scenery, hidden gem!
Has a beautiful walkway to japanese bridge, looking to downtown. Great for shots
Has about 10 main parking spots inside, but plenty of parking near the park

Cons:
If having alcohol, you have to get one of their bar vendors
Strict Noise policy during the day, so music was played really softly during ceremony
Wish the venue was available at least 8 hours included in package. (For setup, take down)
