The Majestic Downtown - Los Angeles, California

Esther Bautista

Majestic was the first of only two venues we toured for our wedding. Aside from being an iconic location with historic significance, this elegant venue truly does stand up to its name, majestic. Its beauty was just unmatched that we pretty much had our minds made up on our way to visit the second site (made it an easy decision for us!). My husband and I are so happy to have chosen this venue. However, our wedding would not have been such a dream come true without our wedding coordinator Ashton!!!
There are just not enough words to describe how amazing this woman is. After having found ourselves without a wedding planner with three weeks left until the big day, Ashton kindly swooped us under her wing and made our vision come to reality. This woman pretty much made our 300+ wedding happen with as little as 21 days!!! Everything came out even better than we discussed. Having her as a wedding coordinator was truly a blessing and quite frankly, a MUST when booking the Majestic. As the actual director of the venue, she is so knowledgeable of everything wedding and quite frankly hosting events at the Majestic specifically. The Majestic is beautiful and elegant but a beast of a venue, good thing there is Ashton to tame it! She knows all the ins and outs of the building and is so familiar with the wedding vendors that it made communicate with all parties just so easy. Coming from a bride who had a bad experience with another wedding planner, I can truly attest that Ashton is on a different level. The three weeks we were with her felt stress free compared to the months prior. Ashton is super supportive, creative, professional, and a true advocate. Most of all, she was compassionate. She makes you feel heard and ensures her presence is felt 24/7- which is important. When we say something, even just as an idea, she’s already gotten it written down on her notes. When we mention needing to do contact a vendor, she would already have the email drafted before the end of the conversation. She catered to us from the beginning of signing on with the Majestic up to even after the wedding!
We felt like king and queen to how much she catered to us honestly. Because of her, we were truly able to enjoy our wedding.
Amazing is what describes her. You can really tell that this is her passion with the way she goes above and beyond to make sure her clients’ vision comes true and that couples get to truly savor this wonderful experience. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so so so thankful for her!!!

Beautiful spot for the wedding reception. Renovations and design are beautiful. They do a great job on everything.

However, this doesnt take away from the 5 star review, but if you are from out of town and not familiar with the area you should be aware of the following. At night it gets real rough in that area. Lots of homeless and it is not safe to walk alone at night. Security are protecting the business buildings outside. Parking lots lock gates to protect cars. It’s a bit alarming.

Otherwise nothing against the business! It would be great to see the city area cleaned up.

As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I had the absolute pleasure of shooting a wedding at The Majestic Downtown in LA, and it was nothing short of magical. The venue's blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication provided a stunning backdrop for both the ceremony and reception. Its iconic architecture and beautiful moody light allowed for breathtaking photos (recommend hiring a separate lighting team if you’re looking for brighter images). The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly, allowing me to capture the couple's special moments flawlessly. For any couple looking for a venue that offers both beauty and modern looks, The Majestic Downtown is perfect. Highly recommend! - Sierra Dawn Photo @sierradawnphoto

My husband and I got married (ceremony + reception) at The Majestic in November. The venue is breath taking! Many of the compliments we received from our guests included the high ceilings and stunning chandeliers. You have a large space to work with and no matter if all or very little of the space is used you don’t feel as if it’s too empty or overcrowded. Each interaction we had with the venues team members was very pleasant and made the experience much more memorable from cocktail tasting to interacting with them on the day of the event.

Ashton was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning of planning up until the day of our wedding she always made time to take my calls, answer my hundreds of questions, and provide support in any way she could. Her assistance through this entire process helped alleviate stress as we planned our wedding from a different state and it is very much appreciated!

A situation we ran into could’ve been avoided had we taken Ashton’s recommendation to hire security during vendor load in. My husband found a man sleeping on the floor inside the venue when he arrived. When asked to leave the gentleman left with no issues, thankfully. Overall, our experience at the Majestic was great and I would highly recommend this location for your event.

We had our wedding here in May and it was perfect!!! To be honest it was love at first sight. From the marble floors, to the chandeliers, to the sky high ceilings, to the columns, staircase, vault and more. Its the perfect space to go with a less is more theme and let the vintage glamor speak for itself. OR use the space as a blank canvas and go ALL out. Either way, the venue will impress.

As for the planning, Ashton was honestly my rock. From day one, her organization made everything so straightforward and easy. She was always available for my million questions. And i mean a million questions. She knew what she was doing and it showed. Even when my coordinator pulled out of my wedding with 30 days to go, Ashton jumped in and helped me in every way she could. I HIGHLY recommend the Majestic, but the icing on the cake is working with Ashton. 🙂

With over 20+ years of experience in hosting specialty events across the country, we can say without a doubt The Majestic is one of our favorite venues. Its floor plan affords unlimited flexibility and opportunities to create exciting events year after year.
We look forward to working with Ashton every year. She is very helpful and accommodating. Truly can’t say enough about her desire to understand what’s important to our team as we prepare for our events. Given our Midwest office, hosting an event 2000 miles away can be a challenge and yet Ashton and her team make it smooth and easy. She is professional and very well organized. Always goes above and beyond on all requests, large and small, and has exceeded our expectations. Her old-world business courtesies are very much appreciated. Looking forward to our next event at The Majestic!

My husband and I recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Majestic. As you enter the venue, you are greeted with a beautiful grand staircase that leads up to the mezzanine. Our ceremony was held in the hall to the left and reception in the bigger hall to the right.
Besides my husband (then fiance) falling in love with the venue during our site tour, one of the reasons we decided on Majestic was that they allow outside catering & bar service. This was very important to us since we already had specific cuisine we wanted to serve and most wedding venues do not offer this option. Of course you still have a choice of going with their in-house catering.
One thing to keep in mind though is that the Majestic is not a "wedding-ready" venue or your typical "wedding hall". This place used to be an old Bank of America headquarters and what you are renting is a historical landmark. It was great that the venue came with round banquet tables and chairs (they have gold chivalry chairs and maroon banquet chairs) but everything else would need to be brought in - event lighting, draping, dance floor, PA systems etc.
Having been a bank once upon a time, there is a huge vault that we were lucky enough get opened and take photos in and there are also plenty of gorgeous spots within the building for photos.
Ashton was very helpful and such a pleasure to work with. She was readily available to answer all of our questions, meeting us on several site visits prior to the event and very easy to work with our wedding coordinator.
My only regret is that I was not able to fully enjoy the venue since it was MY wedding and the day flew by before I knew it. Really hope to get a chance to be back at this gorgeous venue that instantly takes you back to an era you've only heard about.

Went for a tour of the venue. My daughter is having her reception there for her wedding. Very beautiful building inside. Outside not so much. It is typical downtown LA. Venue can hold up to 500 guests. Ashton was very helpful and accommodating. And answered all our questions.
