Valentine DTLA by Marvimon - Los Angeles, California

Valentine is a dream venue! Not only does the venue come with so many amenities, it also allows clients to build their dream vendor team, which, as someone with over 10 years experience in events, I can tell you is invaluable. The Marvimon team lays a perfect groundwork for a bespoke event that is perfectly executed from start to finish. Their team is the best in the game! Dana, Clare, Anika, and the entire on site team take such great care of their clients, from start to finish. They are all a wealth of knowledge, not just about their venues, but about events in general, which means they will make sure each and every event is exactly how it should be, and each and every client feels heard and taken care of. These venues are beautiful, the team is amazing - I can't say enough good things! Highly recommend this venue and all their venues.

Stunning wedding venue. Two main spaces. One is a historic courtyard with lots of plants that’s been covered with what feels like greenhouse glass. It made me feel like I was dancing under the stars. The other is a warm space with lots of wood and colors. This venue somehow feels both modern and historic by retaining a classic vibe while still providing all the conveniences we expect in a venue. The neighborhood is adjacent to skid row, but with secure valet parking and security at the door, that wasn’t an issue.

It’s beautiful inside once it’s decorated and staff does a great job. Wedding happened and then we’re asked to crowd into a smaller area near bar so they can pick up all the benches that you sit on while watching the wedding. Chairs would be more comfortable. You have to provide everything and it’s not cheap. It’s a nice place in a very sketchy area where you can’t park without tents and drug addicts everywhere. You’re required to use the valet parking and if parking in street, you might get towed. Renting the place is at least $15k and you provide everything else including valet, decorations, bar & catering.
The wedding probably cost at least $30,000+ that we attended. The people working there do a great job. I just think the traffic is awful in Los Angeles and maybe you can find a place closer to where you live and in a nicer area.

We cannot thank Valentine DTLA (and the whole team at Marvimon) for going above and beyond and making sure our wedding really was everything we dreamed it would be! Here is a quick breakdown of how it all went down:

We originally found Grass Room on Pinterest and always dreamt of getting married here! We went to visit the venue and loved it, but then they showed us Valentine DTLA and we realized that fit us A LOT more! We were looking for a venue that would "WOW" our out of town family members from NY and NE and give them an experience they could only have in LA! The dining area was laid out beautifully with a projector (that we used to project our seating chart and then play clips from our favorite romance movies while we danced), a historic looking bar that spoke for itself, and a ceremony area that's full of greenery (and the best lighting for posed photos)! While the place was a little out of our price range, we decided to have our wedding for 150 people on a Friday and it was worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY.

Once we signed the contract, we were put in contact with Dana and her team (Clare and Ariel) who helped us every step of the way and was there to answer ALL of our questions (which were a TON)! They provided us with paperwork that clearly outlined the rules of the venue and gave us a list of recommended vendors that have worked the venue before which helped us out a TON! One thing to note as you're considering this place, you will need to pay for a valet with White Label Valet who were very easy to work with and we HIGHLY recommend having since the area outside of the venue isn't the safest. Also, the venue does have security so there was never a moment where we or a guest felt unsafe.

We spent a year and half of planning everything with Dana and her team at Valentine DTLA before our wedding. This included visiting the venue, having meetings in person to discuss the layout of everything, and asking us questions for things we never would have thought of to make sure all of our bases were covered. Dana and her team were so kind, helpful, and made sure we felt good when the day finally came and always checked in to see if we were stressing out as we got closer and to see if there was anything they could do to alleviate our worries.

When the wedding day finally came, their site representative and our Day of Coordinator from "Pop the Champagne" (who was a DREAM to work with) made sure our wedding day went perfectly and that all the vendors obeyed the rules outlined in the contract so we didn't have to worry about anything at all! As soon as we walked into the venue, all of the stress was gone and the best day of our lives commenced! It seriously was the best day of our lives and we never felt so loved and that's thanks to Valentine DTLA (and Marvimon)! Even our guests were in complete awe of the venue and had a blast as well!

We cannot thank Valentine DTLA and Marvimon enough for giving us the perfect wedding! Now quit reading this review and go book this beautiful venue!

I've been lucky enough to get to photograph this venue for a couple different clients over the years. The style and aesthetic is always on point with a great combo of nature and industrial coming together. The light always find a soft way of landing here, I swear. I also find that the staff are super accommodating and provide guests and the couple with a great experience. Having shot at most venues in LA this has to be near the top for client experience. Highly recommend.

We can't speak highly enough of Valentine DTLA and the whole Marvimon team. It's a special, stunning venue that feels like its own little world right in the middle of the Arts District. It has its own aesthetic but also provides lots of opportunity to put your own touches on the space.

Clare, Dana, Ariel, and the whole Marvimon team are so good at what they do. They're responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely kind. We knew we were in good hands when we started to hear from so many of our other vendors--our planner, caterer, bartenders, DJ, florist--that they all also loved working with Marvimon!

We're native Angelenos, and it was important for us to have our wedding actually IN the city we love. As others have noted, the neighborhood can change quickly block-by-block around Valentine and there are sometimes encampments nearby. That is the reality of LA, and the Marvimon staff took every precaution--venue security at the door, an attended lot for valet parking, and staff presence during set up and breakdown--to make sure our guests and vendors felt safe, secure, and cared for throughout our wedding day. We intentionally hired local and small businesses for our wedding, and we couldn't have made a better choice than Marvimon for our venue.

There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible Marvimon was as a wedding venue. 
We had the wedding of our literal dreams — an all day affair that took place in both Valentine and Grass Room.

Dana (Event Director) deserves every award there is in the wedding/event category. We opted out of a wedding planner because we were pretty confident in putting it together ourselves but of course there was A LOT to figure out and hurdles faced along the way. But thanks to Dana and Marvimon’s phenomenal team, the end result was truly magical.

Between the organization, attention to detail, genuine care, and the list of unbelievable, pre-approved vendors (including a BIPOC, women-owned, and queer specific list which is where we primarily sourced everything) we didn’t realize that we not only got the venue of our dreams but the support it came with was extremely valuable.

Not to mention the beautiful furniture, foliage and overall interior aesthetic that was there which removed any need for renting additional pieces.

Weddings are exciting but everyone who has planned or is in the middle of planning one knows they are massively stressful. That said, the Marvimon team (ESPECIALLY DANA) didn’t have us worried at all. They were one of the biggest reasons we were at ease and confident things were going to run smoothly which I’m happy to report they did with flying rainbow colors!

100/10 CANNOT recommend enough! 
(We are already thinking about our vow renewal party at one of their other venue spaces - true story)

When looking for vendors for our wedding in 2020, we instantly fell in love with Valentine’s whole vibe: the greenery, the setup, the giant pink door. We wanted a colorful and fun wedding and Valentine’s space was the perfect match! As east coast transplants, most of our family was traveling across the country. On the night, several of them told us how happy they were to come to a California wedding and not just another ballroom, which was 100% because of Valentine’s eclectic vibe.

They allowed all our outside vendors and were incredibly helpful with suggestions and planning from the jump. Their whole team was super communicative and clear throughout the whole process which allowed us the freedom to have the wedding that we wanted. All issues on the day were handled by their team swiftly and easily before they even became a problem. Thanks Marvimon and Valentine! Next time we do a big event, we’ll definitely be back.
