I have always dreamed of getting married at the Millwick and now that the day has passed it was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was direct, clear, and easy - they were always responsive to our questions and available to help. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful. I found it easiest to work with vendors that have previously worked there as they knew how each other operates and it made everything run smoothly especially when it comes to a planner and catering. The venue itself was stunning, and their team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and we highly recommend Millwick to any couples searching for the perfect venue.

Valentine is our grandest location, and features a flowing 9,000 square-foot site plan designed for private events, courtyard weddings, receptions, exhibitions, productions and live performances. The venue is fully amenitized, and we provide experienced, professional site management, plus a commercial kitchen for client-selected catering teams.

This mysterious history subtly informed our re-invention of the space.

  • Provides lighting and sound

Venue considerations

  • No venue-provided food services

There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible Marvimon was as a wedding venue. 
We had the wedding of our literal dreams — an all day affair that took place in both Valentine and Grass Room.

 Dana (Event Director) deserves every award there is in the wedding/event category. We opted out of a wedding planner because we were pretty confident in putting it together ourselves but of course there was A LOT to figure out and hurdles faced along the way. But thanks to Dana and Marvimon’s phenomenal team, the end result was truly magical. Between the organization, attention to detail, genuine care, and the list of unbelievable, pre-approved vendors (including a BIPOC, women-owned, and queer specific list which is where we primarily sourced everything) we didn’t realize that we not only got the venue of our dreams but the support it came with was extremely valuable. Not to mention the beautiful furniture, foliage and overall interior aesthetic that was there which removed any need for renting additional pieces. Weddings are exciting but everyone who has planned or is in the middle of planning one knows they are massively stressful. That said, the Marvimon team (ESPECIALLY DANA) didn’t have us worried at all. They were one of the biggest reasons we were at ease and confident things were going to run smoothly which I’m happy to report they did with flying rainbow colors! 100/10 CANNOT recommend enough! 
(We are already thinking about our vow renewal party at one of their other venue spaces - true story)

Flora Chang is definitely the best place to use as a venue for any type of small party (whether it be wedding, rehearsal dinner, birthday, bridal shower, etc.)! We cannot thank Flora Chang (and the whole team at Marvimon) for going above and beyond in making sure our Rehearsal Dinner was everything we dreamed it would be! Here is a quick breakdown of how it all went down: While planning our wedding for Valentine DTLA (another one of their amazing venues that we HIGHLY recommend), we were on the hunt for the perfect (not too pricey) venue. We had trouble because all of our favorite restaurants were like renting out another wedding venue. That's when Dana and her team let us know about Flora Chang and let us tour the space! We were totally in awe with it's colorful and funky vibes! It's layout was super fun because it has a pool table and bar as soon as you walk in (which made you feel like you were entering a secret speakeasy). Then there's a section of dining tables where your guests can have a nice intimate dinner! Past that was a HUGE couch where people could relax after they stuffed their faces with some tasty food! Finally, there's a section in the back of the venue where you can plug music in to play off of the speakers and has a bunch of large, beautiful plants (it's also a GREAT section to rehearse for your ceremony if you are using it for a rehearsal dinner)! We knew this was going t "WOW" our out of town family members and give them an experience they could only have in LA! After signing the contract, it was up to us to find vendors, but we used a lot of the ones that Marvimon recommended to us and we couldn't have been happier! And if you would like to bring in a vendor they haven't used before, they are totally open to it (which we did with our caterer who CRUSHED IT... THANK YOU DE LA NONNA!) The day of our rehearsal dinner couldn't have gone better! Everything was laid out exactly how we asked and the site representative was there incase we had any questions about the space! Even our guests were in complete awe of the venue and had a blast as well! We cannot thank Flora Chang and Marvimon enough for letting us use this venue! Now quit reading this review and go book it!

The venue is fully amenitized, and we provide experienced, professional site management plus a commercial kitchen for client-selected catering teams. Built in the 1920’s in an area that has long served as the city’s seafood market east of Downtown, the building has lived many lives in its century of use; it’s been a fish and oyster company, an ice cream factory, and a commercial site for everything from far east imports to marijuana cultivation. This quirky history subtly informed our re-invention of the space.

The Grass Room is such an amazing space to host a wedding or any other special celebration. It's a literal concrete jungle—as it has an awesome tropical green house vibe, while being located in the heart of downtown LA. I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating a wedding here, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Dana, Clare, and the rest of the Marvimon team made the whole planning process so seamless for me and my clients. The venue itself needs little to no decor, as it is gorgeous on its own—but we had a lot of fun personalizing it to create a fun and unique vibe for the bride and groom's special day. If you're looking for an original, out-of-the-box venue to host your next special event, look no further than the Grass Room DTLA! Uniquely stunning space, awesome staff, and nothing but good vibes!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding ceremony at Redbird in the Cardinal's Quarters, and we cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, the experience was flawless — and so much of that is thanks to Simone, who was incredibly responsive and thoughtful and made the entire process feel effortless. The Cardinal's Quarters itself is absolutely stunning. The intimate setting, with its chic and romantic ambiance, created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The natural light, the beautifully teal walls/ceilings, and the overall atmosphere made the space feel both elegant and welcoming.
