“Such a fun place for kids! Everything was well kept and the atmosphere was great for families. Araceli was very attentive and friendly, and she made sure we had a good experience from start to finish. You can tell she really cares about the customers. We’ll for sure be back again!”

“AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE today.Everyone present was very welcoming. There's a lot of Community services and volunteering done here. And well, Blood Donations are just a needle in the haystack. Volunteers of America and America's Job Center Staff are ready and able to help with MANY Services.”

“This was my second visit to the PECLA and I had just as much fun, if not even more, the second time around. If you like driving and you love Porsches, you must to experience it yourself. My instructor, Cam, did a great job of coaching and improving my driving, but more importantly, made the occasion a total blast.”

“We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Dynamico Tech Services! They helped us optimize our website in a way that truly made a difference. In Q1, only 20% of our referrals came from the website—but after implementing their strategies and improvements, that number jumped to 45% in Q2. The increase in website engagement has been both noticeable and valuable. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their online presence and get real results!”

“Thank you Lili, Luisa and Flor. You guys have all been amazing and very professional. This venue is breathtaking, every single detail has been well thought. If you are considering this venue for your celebration you will not regret it. The Gold package is the best one! The food choices are amazing and there are plenty of choices to pick from depending on your preferences. Thank you Secret House of Ivy!”

“I gave it a 4 star because of the greeter Kevin, he didn’t welcome us or say hello. When completing the waiver I had a question and he just waived his hand. He was just rude, not even a smile. This was our 1st time here and he made me feel like I was a bother.”

“A hidden gem!! The drive to the location was pretty colorful to say the least, but once inside you will be pleased! There is a very open and spacious outside courtyard, and also on-site parking. The inside was also spacious and contained a very large open event space and a stage, with an elevated loft that looks out over the space. This is a great space!!”

“Apex Studios was very welcoming and efficient to work with. The rooftop allowed for amazing images in our publication (V Magazine), and their studio manager and team was very easy to work with. We always look forward to returning to this studio when we have projects happening in Los Angeles. Within the past year, we shot one of our cover shoots here, as well as another editorial. Both the crews and celebrity talent enjoyed using this space.”

“A round of applause to Martha and the entire Fiesta Mexica Banquet Hall team! We hosted a Quinceanera and the experience was amazing!

Not only was Martha extremely helpful in guiding us through the venue process, she also has a list of vendors that work with the Hall, everything from Make-up to photography.

The day of the event, the Banquet Manager, was extremely friendly and helpful. He (I forget his name) made sure the food was on time, the toast came out on time, and helped the photographer with the video display. Additionally, if you do not have a DJ, or you are in between your personal DJ or the Hall DJ, go with the Hall DJ (Victor).

Victor the DJ read the room and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. He was also extremely helpful with presenting the court and playing the correct music, at the correct time during the waltz and surprise dance, LOL. IYKYK!

Martha, THANK YOU for everything! We will be back soon!”

“As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of photographing a ceremony at this incredible church — and it was such a memorable experience. The space is LGBTQ+ friendly, warm, and welcoming to all couples, which makes it even more special.

The church itself is stunning, with beautiful gothic architecture, tall arches, and elegant details that give every photo a timeless look. The light inside is soft and atmospheric, creating a perfect mood for wedding ceremonies. For professional photographers, I’d recommend bringing some additional external lighting, especially near the front section of the church, where natural light can be limited.

Couples should keep in mind that the time allowed for photography inside is limited, since the venue charges per hour spent there. In my case, we didn’t have much extra time for portraits inside, but we still captured some incredible moments before heading outdoors.

Overall, I truly enjoyed shooting here — it’s a one-of-a-kind location that blends classic architecture with inclusivity and heart. Highly recommend it for couples looking for a Los Angeles church wedding venue that’s both elegant and welcoming.

“Great lil Art Studio in the Bixby Knolls area in Long Beach. Awesome place with different art medium classes & I had my Daughter's Bday party there. Kids had a GREAT time! Really nice owners, cool spot, local, clean facility. Near other shops, bakeries, restaurants, and local brewery. 5 stars!”

“My first experience at Crenshaw Yoga and Dance was Tiffany Simone and Kenyon Dixon creating a relief event for families experiencing misplacement due to the fires. The facility, the staff all found within my community was too exciting! Immediately I know I wanted to come back and really use a studio within my neighborhood and didn’t have to go to north Hollywood or downtown for. Since the event I have run a 6 week modeling course and ballroom practices. Again the staff always so welcoming. Ms. Candice such a sweetheart and accommodating. Thank you for this space and creating something within the community. If you’re a dancer and/ or creative and need a space to express or run a class, high recommend and consider Crenshaw Yoga and Dance. Thank you all so much and I can’t wait to run the next season of Walking Girlz ?”

“This was a big surprise that I'm glad I got to experience. I didn't know much about the museum, and when I drove up to the gate (through an industrial area) I saw a beautiful driveway along a tree-lined road. The docent was interesting and clearly loves the history of Dominguez Rancho. I highly recommend doing the tour and learning about the history of the south bay area. And, lots of antiques, check out the Victor record player.”

“THESE CLUB OWNERS ARE NOT RACIST!! I have had my show here for the last 4 years. John and Scarlett have never ever displayed any type of racism towards me as a black man. In fact, it's been completely opposite. They have embraced me as family. So I read a review of someone saying they were racist and honestly it affected me personally. It bothers me when someone gives a label on racism when it does not apply here. I've seen racism, I know what racist people do and How they Act And John and Scarlett The owners of the The StandUp Comedy Club DO NOT fit that description. Again, I have been here four years And I haven't seen nothing close to racism.. I've seen ignorant people trying to get free stuff and run out on their bill without paying, And when it doesn't go their way People are quick to pull The Race card. So Again, I am a black man who has been working at the stand-up comedy club for the past 4 years and John and Scarlett The owners has shown me nothing but love. Let's be careful how we Put False Accusations on People. I considered that I'm not only friends but family and I hate to see them get railroaded that's why I wrote this”

“Very cool museum. Went alone and I like the location and the the history of Chicano, Asian, and black culture and history of Los Angeles. Very well presented and the staff are nice”

“The Hnypt is absolutely magical… from booking to the actual event it was effortless and accommodating. Michael is the kindest and so easy to work with! The venue is stunning yet quaint and feels like home. Easy to navigate and has all you could need! The exposed brick and cement floors give a NYC Loft vibe. It’s a magical place! Would book again and again - just need family to get married or some fancy events!!!”

“Late Review, but worth it! I hosted a party at The Loft on 12/13/2025, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. I began searching for venues around October and came across The Loft online. From the very first tour, I was genuinely impressed. The space is beautiful inside and, most importantly to me, extremely clean. You can tell right away that they take pride in maintaining their venue, even during showings, which I personally think says a lot. The event itself was so much fun, and the entire planning process felt smooth because I had incredible support from Charlotte and Dominique every step of the way. They were communicative, helpful, and always willing to provide guidance when needed. I also really appreciated that The Loft allows outside vendors, which made it easy to fully customize my event and bring my vision to life. Whenever I needed recommendations Charlotte and Dominique were happy to connect me with vetted, reliable vendors, which was a huge plus and made planning even easier. Overall, my experience was fantastic. The space is spacious, CLEAN, and well-maintained, but what truly sets The Loft apart is the level of care, communication, and support from the owners. That's incredibly important to me when booking a venue, and they absolutely delivered. I can definitely see myself booking with The Loft again in the future. Thank you so much, Charlotte and Dominique, for everything you do!”

“So you’re having yet another existential crisis, and you drive to LA to join a pop-up choir in a desperate attempt to “find yourself”. The choir meets at RoseWolff Studios, which, by the way, has a killer view of the highway — a surprisingly peaceful little I-5 oasis. Great view of the skyline too.”

“We booked with the Monarch ballroom for private first dance lessons. Courtney was our incredibly kind, caring, and supportive instructor. She choreographed and taught us (very inexperienced with dance) a wonderful first dance routine over 10 sessions. Multiple people told us was the most impressive first dance they had ever seen, including our wedding DJ. She also really accommodated our schedules, and the fact that we decided to pursue this within 2 months of our big day. We had such a wonderful time working with Courtney and made many beautiful memories!”

“A classic art deco era theater with lots of history and charm. Concerts work well here as view and sound are just the right scale. Great location with lots of food and drink around the area too”

“This venue is very easy to walk in and out of. Getting in was a breeze. Finding our seats was also easy. Parking was easy because we purchased parking ahead of time. Getting to this area is the challenge. Wherever you are coming from in Southern California, leave EARLY! We came from the I.E. Waze told us that we would arrive in 1.5 hours. Not true. Since you get into the Los Angeles area there is traffic. LOTS OF TRAFFIC! Getting off the freeway took a long time. Once the event was over getting out of the parking structure took well over an hour.”

“✨🍂 Had the BEST time at The Ravery LA for the Pumpkin Spice Latte party with @flavcity! 🎃☕ The venue was gorgeous and the vibes were immaculate — from embroidery hats 🧢, line dancing 🤠, DIY bouquets 💐, affogatos 🍨, the cutest photo ops 📸, and even a donut wall 🍩. Such a fun + cozy fall event! 🧡🍁”

“The first time I went to see the little mermaid last year. I kept the beautiful bucket of which I put popcorn in. I love the movie as much as I love the detail of the theater in the more time it has gone to becoming the respectable long lasting memeoris that havent be able to share their story. The staff that was there was always helpful and very professional with how they address the guest and the instructions on the tickets was instructed to follow as directed of to be escorted from the building. With all the carful time it took to prepare every single day. I would be happy to have be aprt of this city as much as I would take the time to work for every single job career volunteering and participating in every event just to be able to have had the traditional value that is being the greatest city in the country to the rest of the world. The reputation proceeds the threater.”

“I listened to a movie of Ryuichi Sakamoto's performance here, it was a perfect night. The service staff here are very professional. I lost a hat here. After contacting them, the very professional staff found my hat and helped me leave it in the guard room. I was really touched! thank you all!”

“We got married at Carondelet House 13 days ago, and it was everything we hoped for. The venue has so much character, and the indoor-outdoor flow made the whole day feel warm and inviting.
Our 94 guests kept telling us how much they loved the space. The staff was great to work with, and everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have picked a better place for our wedding.”

“We had our daughters Quinceañera and Del banquet hall gave it all to make it perfect! We are very satisfied. I want to thank Vivian and Yazmine for being very friendly, helpful and patient with the planning. Staff ladies were very nice. Securities were very professional and Jonathan the bartender was amazing. A1Everyone has excellent customer service. Highly recommend this venue for any event.”

“This venue was pretty cool.

We enjoyed the contest that was held here.
Parking was alittle crazy. But the venue it self was pleasant.”

“This is a good set of people. I rented the led wall and lightning for my event. They did an amazing job!! Everyone in the event loved!! Would definitely call them again.”

“I used to go clubbing there many years ago. I was glad to see it is now used for rentals. It was decorated, large dancing floor and even has a bar to sell drinks
Highly recommend it.”
