Continued from 23 Unreal Los Angeles Event Venues
Neuehouse Hollywood
Capacity: 350 Seated / 1500 Standing
Location: 6121 Sunset Blvd
Great For: Meetings, Performances
Premium. That’s Neuehouse in a word, a collection of gorgeous spaces designed for designers. Far from the over-the-top vibes of some of Hollywood’s spaces, Neuehouse venues would make a fitting setting for a gathering of architects, magazine designers, or even fashion icons. If “chic” is on your list of priorities, Neuehouse should be your first stop.
City Market Social House
Capacity: 700 Seated / 1000 Standing
Location: 1145 S San Pedro St
Great For: Corporate Parties, Pop-Up Galleries
Once a warehouse, the contemporary City Market Social House is a welcome addition to the downtown LA party scene. Large enough to accommodate 1000 standing guests, City Market’s central downtown location makes logistics a breeze, while the tall ceilings of the once-industrial space allow to space to adapt to a wide variety of uses, from rustic weddings to pop-up galleries, company parties, and more.
SmogShoppe
Capacity: 150 Seated / 250 Standing
Location: 2651 S La Cienega Blvd
Great For: Cocktail Parties, Receptions
If its name sounds bizarre, it’s actually quite practical. SmogShoppe used to be just that: an emissions testing center-turned-event space. Located in Culver City’s design district, the space offers an ideal spot for an art show, intimate wedding, or creative company cocktail party.
Fig & Olive Melrose
Capacity: 250 Seated / 450 Standing
Location: 8490 Melrose Pl
Great For: Dinner Parties, Galas
Melrose Place’s Fig & Olive is one of several notable locations of the restaurant chain, which opens its doors to private parties intimate or large on a regular basis. At 8,000 square feet, Fig & Olive is notable for a few things: lots of natural light, more rosemary plants than you knew could fit into a single place, and food. Good food.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
Capacity: 2252
Location: 111 S Grand Ave
Great For: Seminars, Presentations, Concerts
We could count on one hand the number of Frank Gehry buildings that allow for private events. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of them, and if you’re lucky enough to book it, you’ll secure your spot among the most memorable event venues your guests have ever visited. As a union house, vendor selection is closely controlled, but the results are nothing short of magical.
Millwick
Capacity: 175 Seated / 250 Standing
Location: 800 E 4th Pl
Great For: Weddings, Receptions
Millwick has lived multiple lives. Once a livery, then a warehouse, and now an Insta-worthy event space, the 2500 square-foot garden and 4500 square-foot interior work in tandem to give guests two space for weddings and the reception that follows, or company speeches and the after party drinks that chase them.
Lombardi House
Capacity: 225 Seated / 300 Standing
Location: 1425 N Cahuenga Blvd
Great For: Weddings, Retreats, Corporate Parties
If 35-foot ceilings sound unusual for LA, they are. But this may explain Lombardi House’s ability to pull them off: it was once a barn complete with stables for horses. Today, the estate is a wedding destination, family reunion, and corporate retreat dreamland. Want to host an outdoor movie? This is the place to go.
Montage Beverly Hills
Capacity: 350 Seated / 500 Standing
Location: 225 N Canon Dr
Great For: Parties, Galas, Weddings
Throwing a party in Beverly Hills is like bragging about your kid’s tee ball successes in the dugout of the world series. It’s hard to make an impact. Yet Montage has been helping party hosts do just that for years. Guests can mingle around a rooftop pool with views of Rodeo Drive while enjoying food and beverages prepared by talented chefs. Luxury has never looked better.
