Up to 150 seated guests
About this venue
Grass Room is perhaps our most distinctive location and features a flowing 6,000-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. 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.
Our event spaces
Courtyard Garden

At the door, a passageway leads you through a secret jungle, past a hand made copper bar with an ever-changing patina, and opens to a courtyard framed by 25-foot walls of roughly textured clay and wood, set on floors of reclaimed brick, salvaged from the original structure, and polished aggregate, surrounded by flourishing gardens that wouldn’t be out of place in a Dr. Seuss storyboard. All of this lies beneath a soaring 35-foot greenhouse roof with retractable shades and levered windows.

10/10 Recommended - Grass Room DTLA
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!
100/10 CANNOT recommend enough!
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)
