Omar and his team are among the best in this business because they truly care and want your event to be successful. They are a literal dream to work with. They offer a beautiful space that can be transformed into just about anything with state-of-the-art A/V systems and screen projections. They are able to offer many things in-house that you would otherwise have to find with outside vendors. Their kitchen is top-notch and the bartenders know how to make your guests happy. They are flexible and easy to work with from the first moment you meet them. On top of all that, their prices are reasonable and the quality you get back is worth what you pay. I am so grateful to Omar and his entire team for being such a pleasure to work with!

Unacceptable: Racism, verbal abuse, and physical aggression from staff…read more I had a terrible and completely unacceptable experience at Candela La Brea. Due to an Uber address mix-up, we ended up at this location by mistake. Upon arriving near closing time, we just asked if we could come in for a drink as we believed this was a bar: After being told it was a private event, I calmly tried to explain our Uber mistake. Instead of handling the situation professionally, a female staff member completely lost her temper. She started screaming at us, talked to us terribly, and physically aggressed us and telling us to go away. Given the unprovoked hostility and the way she treated us, I strongly believe her behavior was racially motivated because we are not from America. She tried to physically attack us. Her actions were so completely out of line and unwarranted that even several guests from the private event came over to apologize to us for her deplorable conduct. No one should ever be subjected to discrimination, verbal abuse, or violence over a simple misunderstanding. I highly advise avoiding this place, customer service, safety, and basic respect are completely nonexistent here. To make matters worse, I didn't even say a word to provoke her, she completely misdirected her anger at us just because of other people standing nearby. Being targeted, screamed at, and pushed when you haven't done or said a single thing is completely unhinged. She literally screamed right in our faces: "Hell no! Get the fuck out of here!"

It sat vacant for a few years and briefly reopened as a performing arts space in 2013 but was forced to shut down. After being declared a historic monument, it underwent a complete renovation by new owners in 2015. The building changed hands again in 2023 and functions as an event center and a shared common workspace. This three-story venue has rooms upstairs. Downstairs is the main room with lofty ceilings, large windows, wood floors, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a stage for a DJ or live bands. Downstairs is a speakeasy style bar and the backyard is also a nice spot for an outdoor reception. I've driven by this place numerous times thinking it was just a church. I recently saw that there was a Holiday Market Place being held here so I stopped in to do some shopping. There was a man on the front lawn making pupusas and people sitting at tables enjoying them. Inside is quite spacious and there were several vendors selling their merchandise. The tables were nicely spaced apart, so it was easy to browse. This realty is a nice spot for an event or to use as a shared workspace. *Street parking only.

CRATES. they barely had any garbage disposals for us to clean. main thing was the workers under the company look lazy and rude. if we didn't clean, they would keep the deposit. I don't think a reception of that size would be overlooked by the host and simply wasn't disclosed that significant detail. for the price of a different venue with all services for cleanup, seems like it's better to go somewhere else. plus, no parking and it's only street. interesting space but pass.

The location in Los Feliz couldn't have been better. We spent our days walking to incredible coffee shops, amazing restaurants, and charming boutiques, and it was the perfect home base for exploring Los Angeles while still feeling tucked away in a neighborhood with so much character. What truly sets Hotel Covell apart, though, is the hospitality. The team genuinely cares about their guests and goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. Their kindness and generosity left a lasting impression on us, and it's clear they take immense pride in what they've created. This was one of the most memorable hotel stays I've ever had, and I already can't wait to come back. Thank you for making our trip so special! Linsi and Jade

To top it off, it is only a short drive to the Pantages Theater and near alk the Los Feliz hot spots. The service was excellent from the moment we booked, to the moment we checked out.

It's impossible to sleep, relax, or even think straight with this noise pollution rattling through the streets.

It's hard to believe that…read morethey've kept up the playful rituals and time-defying traditions since the Ranchers who created this circle of friendship over 100 years ago. Founded in 1925, this might be the oldest LA Club in town. Everyone is so welcoming and there are lots of big personalities among the LABC members and gold-star newbies who made the morning unforgettable. Or as I'd like to say, lots of good eggs! The breakfast spread was thoughtful & versatile, the decorations were fun, and the secret handshake took my half-awake brain a while to get a hang of (but I finally did it by the time it was almost over). But no more spoilers as this is one place you have to experience if you're a creative soul. The draw for me? I was there to listen to the guest speaker, Justin Halpern, who's most known for his books, "Sh*t My Dad Says", "I Suck At Girls", and "Get Lost". Every Wednesday morning, a new guest speaker takes the podium. Novelists, comedians, entertainers, retirees, Disney or Bob Baker creatives, community leaders, world activists, and amazing storytellers preside over the Shrine of Friendship. Doors open at 6:45. Breakfast is prompt -- and not on LA-time. It's from 7-7:30. Served buffet style with a smorgasbord of choices to pair with the vibe of this live, variety-style show with plenty of audience participation. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, vegan bacon, oatmeal with every topping imaginable, pancakes, fruit, pastries, coffee, tea, and 3 different juices. Come, share a meal and friendship. I promise it'll be memorable with this welcoming batch of friendly folks from all walks of life. Annual memberships give you a discount on upcoming shows + an exclusive annual holiday party. All tickets are $35 + .88¢ ticket service fee and worth every cent for the experience.

I've been to this auditorium many times over the years, mostly to attend Los Angeles Breakfast Club…read moreevents on Wednesday mornings but I've also been to a few receptions and other parties here. This place was built in the 1960's by the Breakfast Club and given to the city in exchange for holding their meetings there. It is quite spacious with an abundance of parking in their private lot. It is a great location for larger events in that they have a stage and a large industrial kitchen. The downside is that the place needs some work. While I don't mind the 60's vibe, it seems that the city is not maintaining the space. The folding tables are quite worn around the edges and seem to be quite old. The chairs, while not completely uncomfortable, are certainly feeling their age. The kitchen, while quite large, apparently needs work. The large commercial dishwasher has been inoperable for a few years according to a staff member I spoke with, making it difficult for caterers who have to hand wash everything. Why do we pay all of these tax dollars to maintain city owned facilities? The bathrooms were remodeled somewhat recently. Whoever designed the remodel of the men's room should be fired. Who would place the hand dryer in a corner next to a urinal where both cannot be accessed at the same time. That is so odd to me. But overall, I'm happy to see the building being used. There are so few places large enough for big events that also has a large parking lot. I just wish the city took pride in the building, especially since they didn't pay for it. The least they could do is maintain it since they are charging a hefty fee for its usage.
