    Words cannot describe how happy we are to have chosen The Oviatt for our wedding date. This venue is stunning and we fell in love with it the moment we completed the walkthrough with Gabe. Our wedding day was so perfect and this place now holds such a special place in our hearts. The staff is pretty amazing. Lindsey is so responsive, helpful and kind. We are truly grateful to all the staff who made our special day run smoothly!

    My husband and I are so glad we found The Oviatt. When we first spoke with Gabe, we knew we were in good hands. He was super friendly, really attentive, and made sure to address all our needs/concerns. The space itself is stunning – it has a timeless, vintage vibe and amazing views of DTLA – it was exactly what we were looking for. Gabe was very communicative and patient throughout the process and helped us make the decision to book the venue without seeing it ourselves. Once we booked, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Lindsey, who helped bring our vision to life. She made the planning process stress-free and seamless, and everything went so smoothly on the big day. Lindsey answered every question I had and offered alternatives/solutions to anything that came up. She was also very patient when it came to details we hadn't finalized. We held our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at The Oviatt. We had around 90 guests. We went with one of their preferred catering vendors, California Cookout, which our guests loved (the tri-tip was a particular favorite!). The Oviatt truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we are so grateful for the team who made it all come together.

From the moment we first reached out, Lindsey and Gabe were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and helpful in guiding us through the planning process. Their communication style put us at ease and made us feel confident in their ability to deliver an amazing event.

    There are no words that could accurately describe The Oviatt and the exemplary service. This venue is a gem, but this gem becomes more palpable because of the entire Oviatt team. Gabe and Lindsey are phenomenal; both detailed, professional, genuine and kind. We will value our wedding experience forever. The degree of quality was A. A wedding planned in less than a month. Our nuptials and celebration of love was nothing short of perfect. There are truly no words to describe the Oviatt, except fantastic. Don’t miss out on an amazing opportunity, be sure to take the time to visit this venue and you will experience the magic that lies therein.
