The CSULB Japanese Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was quick, insightful, and provided detailed responses to our questions. The venue itself has a quiet, chic, and calming atmosphere, allowing the natural beauty of the gardens to shine. They were extremely accommodating, helping my children take advantage of all the activities available. Under the new management, they were able to work with me much closer than any other venue I had considered. Omar in particular was a pleasure to work with, and their pricing was very fair. I would highly recommend the CSULB Japanese Garden to any couple looking for a serene, nature-inspired setting for their special day.

The Edison Theatre 
Long Beach, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

The building that houses The Edison Theatre was first built in 1917 and served as a venue for various retail businesses until it was rebranded as a movie theater and named The Edison Theatre in 1922, and was likely named after inventor Thomas Edison to honor Edison's contributions to technology and his impact on the world of entertainment, reflecting the era's fascination with his inventions. It was also known for its opulent decor. Changes in the theatre business and urban renewal spurred by the declining fortunes of the downtown area finished almost all of them. In 1998 the Edison Theatre was built out as a performing arts space for the Cal State Long Beach California Repertory Company that was affiliated with the California Long Beach University's theater department until its departure in 2006. Its current incarnation serves as an entertainment venue for banquet receptions, corporate meetings, art exhibitions and concerts.
