Valentine DTLA by Marvimon — Attraction in Los Angeles

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...

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!

Valentine DTLA was our dream venue. It was the only venue we toured & we knew right away. The space itself is stunning. You don't need to dress it up much because every corner is unique and interesting. Included in the rental are dining tables, chairs, benches, and lounge sofas along with a full kitchen (minus freezer), bar area, VIP room, sound system, projector, and outdoor area. You can adjust the lighting and sound in either of the rooms so vibes are always 100. We loved that the ceremony/reception area (greenhouse) and dining room were separate but still connected so that we could flow seamlessly through the wedding program. With 130+ guests it felt intimate but with enough room to enjoy the venue.

I'm happy to report that the service doesn't disappoint. Dana, Clare, and the Marvimon team did their best to keep us informed and comfortable throughout the booking and planning process. We had changed our wedding date 2x due to COVID and they were kind to accommodate the changes.

Our only note to be aware of is that parking is not available at this venue. If your guests are driving in, you'll be required to hire their preferred valet service. We informed our guests ahead of time that this was the case and to plan to take a taxi or rideshare to the venue. Thankfully that worked out fine - just a heads up since DTLA parking can be crazy.

Overall we are so happy we invested in our dream venue. We couldn't imagine having our...
