Los Angeles River Center and Gardens - Los Angeles, California

Very nice place to have a celebration. There are plenty of trees that offer up shade. The water fountain that's inside offers a nice touch to the place.
One of the buildings is a small museum that offers some history of the place. The place has an interesting history. Having in event here makes the LA experience complete.

I love this location! It’s such a hidden gem in the most unexpected place ever! Perfect for a garden style wedding - they have so many great spots for pictures🧡

I was a vendor for a Prom. This is my second year at this venue and I must say it seemed spruced up from last year. There are interior and exterior area for any kind of celebrations. There are decent enough parking spaces but I do recommend coming in carpools. It was well lit for evening events but so would recommend hear lamps for cooler evenings.

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.

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.

We had our wedding here and it was an absolute delight! They're busy and a bit tough to get a hold of at times, but super worth it. This is an oasis in the middle of the city, and in the summer the greenery and flowers bloom and really bring everything to life.

This is primarily a rentable venue but it's also open as a super chill park, you can just hang out in the courtyard or whatever. Not many seats but they do exist. Parking lot is free and spacious. Great place to kill time if you are waiting In this area
