  • Gorgeous 20s Penthouse

    •Verified review
    •Cindy L.•Oct 9

    This was the second venue we toured and we knew we could not beat this after we toured it. It was authentically and beautifully historical. With the penthouse celebrated the style of late 20s when it it was originally built - it was not at all cheesy. I did not had to do much (nor spent much!) to dress up the space because it was already so beautiful! We got so many compliments from guests and people who saw the photo on the venue choice being unique and gorgeous. The venue staff was also super great. Very flexible to work with and genuinely so helpful and want to make sure we had the wedding we envisioned. Highly recommend this venue!

    The venue was just incredible. We picked it because of the historical background as well as the fact that we knew we wouldn't need to add much to make it beautiful. Lindsey and Gabe put us at ease and helped us through each step of the process. I loved how Lindsey worked with our vendors to ensure everything went according to plan on the day of. I’m loving all of the texts from guests letting us know what a beautiful and unique venue we had. From the historic charm of the building to the LA skyline changing from day to night, there's nothing else like it. I could not recommend this venue more!

    We reached out to The Oviatt with just a month to go—and from the very first call, Gabe was calm, collected, and fully supportive of both our vision and our budget. No stress, no pressure—just genuine enthusiasm to help us make it happen. Lindsey was incredible. Even though we were fairly on top of everything, she guided us with clarity, creativity, and care. When plans shifted, she adjusted seamlessly and brought everything together in a way that felt effortless (though we know it wasn’t!). Even when the downtown curfew popped up the week of our wedding, the team took every curveball in stride and made sure we felt cared for from start to finish. If you’re looking for a stunning Art Deco gem with a team that truly has your back—this is it.

  • The Oviatt was PERFECT!

    Lindsey & Gabe were incredibly open and welcoming since the beginning. Incredibly responsive to all my questions, they had awesome suggestions for catering, flowers & the DJ, and the service during our 7 hour event was just impeccable. Everything went according to plan. The Oviatt team & this space were simply perfect.
