Los Angeles has become a hub for weddings and special events. It holds some of the most eclectic venues we’ve seen.  From intimate garden weddings to a large concert, you are sure to find a venue perfect for your occasion!

Millwick
Once used as a livery and later a storage warehouse, Millwick has been reinvented into a beautiful loft for weddings, special events, and productions. This 7,000 square foot venue can accommodate up to 175 guests. It is located in the middle of the Arts District in Los Angeles and considers itself to be a “green” venue. At Millwick, you can have an indoor or outdoor event, complete with a jungle-like grand hall, 2 gardens, 2 cozy lounges that can be used as dressing rooms, and The Fondrevay-a space to let your imagination run.
