Los Angeles River Center and Gardens — Attraction in Los Angeles

I've always dreamed of having an elevated garden style wedding in a venue with Spanish colonial architecture, and the Los Angeles River Center was the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. The venue features a statement entrance with a beautiful ivy wall and iron gates.

The grounds were in full bloom in June, which was a delightful surprise. We held our ceremony on the lawn and our cocktail hour on the back patio. The space was ideal for our wedding of about 150 guests. I highly recommend working with vendors who have worked at the venue before as there are a lot of rules and the venue requires extra level of coordination.

Coming onto the scene, the Center is lush with natural beauty. We really loved the space for all collection needs: prep, first looks, portraits...it's all here. The vine-covered wall at the right time, perfectly frames even the bigger wedding party sizes. It's an all outdoor vibe that main backdrop is greenery and metal from the iron gates. Dogs are welcome so that's a nice touch, and there's a huge wooden door to provide some historical texture besides green. We definitely love coming here since everything is all-in-one.
