Best venue in LA

•Tatijana B.•Dec 31, 2024
I had my wedding here in June of 2024 with 300 guests. The staff is timely, accommodating and professional. They have ample space for guests and the best part is the parking- two double decker garages. The price of St. Anthony's is unmatched, ESPECIALLY in LA. The hall is newly renovated everything is beautiful, especially the middle hall bar. A very large female restroom and great sized male restroom. A lot of potential to creating a space you have in your mind. There's a large back alley for loading/unloading for vendors. It's also handicap friendly all around and theres a elevator from the 1st parking level to the ground level.
Beautiful

St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the very beginning, their communication was wonderful - they were responsive, accommodating, and made the planning process easy. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The church itself is very pretty, with beautiful stained glass that created a stunning backdrop for our outdoor reception dinner on the patio. We asked them to keep the lights on inside so the glass would be illuminated at night, and it looked breathtaking. Many of our guests said it was the most lovely wedding they had ever attended. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. The guests really appreciated not needing to drive anywhere after the ceremony. Also, the bride and groom photoshoot was at the Bradbury building and just on the sidewalk outside the church. Very pretty for wedding photo backdrops.
Best place to have your wedding!

I had my wedding at St. Anthony's Catholic Croatian Church in November 2022 and I could not have dreamed of a better venue! This venue has it all: a beautiful church to hold the wedding ceremony, a newly renovated bar to hold cocktail hour and a breathtakingly gorgeous reception hall. Guests were blown away by the modern elegance of St. Anthony's. The coordinators were amazing and so accommodating. I truly cannot recommend St. Anthony's enough!

I had my daughters wedding and reception at St. Anthony's. Every detail was addressed and it was a huge success. The ballroom is very large and well maintained. The patio and bar area is very roomy.
