About

On WeddingWire since 2021

The Oviatt is an Art Deco dream penthouse and rooftop two-level terrace wedding venue in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Chic and sophisticated, the luxurious then residence was originally built in 1928 as a lavish penthouse for roaring 20's king, James Oviatt. In honor and preservation of The Oviatt's history and ornate charm, the space continues to welcome celebration. good times, and once-in-a-lifetime parties.

Facilities and Capacity

Defined by its opulent ambiance, The Oviatt exudes an authentic sense of old-world charm and luxury. Inside the penthouse couples will find a study, living room for gathering, an elegant bedroom used typically as a "getting ready room," and a true Art Deco bar and cocktail lounge. Outside overlooking the DTLA city lights, couples usually say "I do" and throw a big dinner and dance party on the two-story rooftop terrace.

Interior features include Lalique glass decor, mahogany furniture, parquet wood floors, and many carved woodworks. Despite a seemingly niche aesthetic, the rooms have a high degree of flexibility for you to incorporate your own sense of style. Outside, the terrace is spacious and provides panoramic views of Downtown Los Angeles surrounded by city lights once the sun sets.

    Perfect venue!

    The Oviatt is a beautiful venue and working with them was a dream! My wife and I had booked another venue that went out of business four months before our wedding date, and when we were scrambling to find a replacement, the Oviatt came to our rescue. The venue manager Gabe called us only a couple hours after we submitted our inquiry. He totally understood our situation, got us in for a tour the next day, and bent over backwards to help make our venue change as smooth and painless as possible. Leading up to the big day, Gabe and his team were friendly, helpful, easy to work with, and super on top of every little detail. They worked well with all of our vendors, and the bartenders and event staff helped us put on a flawless event. The space itself is one-of-a-kind and will make your wedding unforgettable!

    An amazing venue!

    I am an event planner with XOXO Weddings and I recently had a client book The Oviatt for their event! What a great experience we had! From start to finish, Gabe at The Oviatt was wonderfully professional and fun! His communication, attention to detail, and honest desire to help make the event perfect for my client was top notch!! I am excited to work more parties as well as weddings here!
