  • "We had an amazing time at the Oviatt! The venue was unique and beautiful, Gabe was very knowledgeable and easy to work with, and our wedding went exactly the way we planned! We'd definitely recommend to friends looking for a good wedding venue in the area."

    Soonwook H., Bride

  • "The Oviatt is a beautiful venue and working with them was a dream! My wife and I had booked another venue that went out of business four months before our wedding date, and when we were scrambling to find a replacement, the Oviatt came to our rescue. The venue manager Gabe called us only a couple hours after we submitted our inquiry. He totally understood our situation, got us in for a tour the next day, and bent over backwards to help make our venue change as smooth and painless as possible. Leading up to the big day, Gabe and his team were friendly, helpful, easy to work with, and super on top of every little detail. They worked well with all of our vendors, and the bartenders and event staff helped us put on a flawless event. The space itself is one-of-a-kind and will make your wedding unforgettable!"

    Evan I., Groom

  • "Having my wedding at the Oviatt was the best decision I made while planning everything out. It was the most beautiful old Hollywood style, art deco rooftop and everything about it was perfect for our night. Gabe from GABEVENTS made everything so easy for us. He connected us with our incredible cater and bar service. I had to do very little in the way of decorating to have the wedding of my dreams"

    Victoria V., Bride

  • We had the most beautiful, elegant & fun wedding anyone could have asked for! Gabe & his team helped with every detail. He’s flexible & easy to work with he helped give my daughter her dream wedding! Thank you Gabe!

    Diana P., Mother of the Bride

  • ..."My partner and I had our wedding ceremony and dinner at the Oviatt and all aspects that concerned Gabe and his team were seamless, even with some intense (as ever) challenges in the mix. His selection of staff including chef/catering are very special and not generic. The food and service is excellent and the space is alive/uniquely beautiful."

    Sarah W, Bride

  • "Thanks to Gabe and his team he gave my daughter the wedding of her dreams! We had the most elegant, beautiful & fun wedding! From the food, the drinks and the attention Gabe & his team gave us! They made the experience for myself & all our guests one of the most memorable ones! Loved loved loved it!"

    D Prater - Mother of The Bride

  • “Step into the 1920's with this gem First, if you are a fan of the 1920's, art deco era, this is the place for you. We decided to use the Oviatt as our wedding venue as it was all-encompassing (we could have our ceremony and reception there). Gabe, the venue manager, was kind, responsive, and accommodating, which is especially needed during the planning period of any event.”

    Karla, Bride

  • "This was a wonderful place to get married! Beautiful art-deco penthouse venue with a two-tiered rooftop. We did both our ceremony and reception here and had a lovely time. Gabe was incredible to work with. …He also set us up with an amazing caterer (shout out to Good Gracious!) that worked seamlessly with the venue to coordinate everything. If you're looking to get married or just for a place to host an event, I can't recommend the Ovaitt enough!"

    Elizabeth, Bride

  • "Such a beautiful venue. Feels very "old hollywood" down to the elevator that feels very "hollywood tower of terror" feel to it. The view from the top is just amazing. My friend got married there in January and got lucky because it didn't rain, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful skyline of downtown LA. There are parking lots all around... joes parking is right across the street or pershing square parking lot just down the street."

    Kasinee N., Wedding Guest

  • "With Gabe's help, we were able to plan a spectacular wedding for over 50 guests in under 3 months. We didn't hire a day-of coordinator (originally only planned for 30 guests) and as should be expected, things came up with third party vendors that threw off our schedule by about an hour. Gabe was there to ensure all adjustments were made with the caterers in real time so that everything went smoothly. Leading up to the wedding Gabe was extremely communicative, gave excellent guidance for parts we were unsure about, and was extremely accommodating in finding times to tour the space with our vendors. Above all, the venue is probably the most beautiful in all of LA for an event of our size, and the food and drinks were top notch. You will not find a better deal than this. Also, highly recommend the lamb shank if it's still on the menu."

    Zach B., Groom

  • "As planners and coordinators, it's refreshing working with a venue that makes our job easier! Gabe and his staff all were so flexible and willing to help our staff ensure the clients were happy. The ultimate goal was to make this wedding look and it definitely showed, everyone was so willing to make sure we all were one machine. The whole day ran smoothly due to Gabe and his staff's experience with the quick room flip. Our company can't wait to work with them in the future!"
