Kate Paul is an incredible party director- she comes with a lot of experience and it shows. Not only she has a full book of all the vendors you may need, she is ultra organized and professional! I loved working with Kate! Kate has a lot of great ideas that will help in making your party unique. Her assistant Matt was also very professional and made sure everything was running smoothly during the party. They both delivered a high quality service! All night I was hearing praises from our guests about the beautiful space and well organized party. I'm so glad I found this venue and I will certainly be having more events there. :) Our party was a true success!

I…read moreknew immediately that I wanted to host my Office Holiday Party at Venue 66, it almost felt like love at first sight. After inquiring about this venue online, I was immediately contacted by Kate Paul, who assisted me throughout the entire process of planning my event. In fact, that is an understatement because Kate did more than assist me, and I must say that I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing event without her guidance, support, and assistance. Kate was very knowledgeable about event planning, and since this was the first event that I coordinated on my own, she was thoughtful enough to give me guidance in everything from catering and bar service, to project management and décor recommendations. Kate was indeed my angel sent from the event planning gods; she was very professional, accommodating, understanding, and patient throughout the entire process. As for the venue, it was everything that I could have hoped for! It would be an honor to have the opportunity to host another event at this venue! I can honestly say that you will not regret hosting your event at Venue 66.

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!"

For starters I recommend the oven fresh bread. Cooked to perfection. My go to entre is the Steak and Frites! Always perfect and never disappoints. Sorry y'all...I don't always make it to dessert so no comment on that. But I have seen some make the rounds and they do look tasty! On the drinks...plenty to choose from their well stocked supply. The Old Fashion is my go to drank! Dirty Martini does the job too. But that's how I roll. Overall: From the staff to the decor of the dining area, all being top notch.

This review is for the unfortunate experience I had renting R-Studio last month…read more From my first encounter with the owner, Daniel, I was put off by his social awkwardness. Not what you'd expect from someone who deals with numerous people on a daily basis. However, I let neither that nor the somewhat steep cost of the studio deter me from renting the place for my birthday party. The studio was in slight disarray when I showed up on the day I'd booked it for. Folding chairs and random painting were strewn about, and the floor needed to be swept. So I had to handle that before even setting up my own decorations and equipment. Daniel had mentioned several times previously that he wanted the studio returned in the same condition as it was before my event. So throughout the night, my friends and I made sure to clean up any spills or messes. After the party ended, we were literally on our hands and knees making sure the place was spotless. The following day, despite the great care we took, Daniel wrote a harsh email to me and demanded a cleaning fee. He initially said having the floors steamed would cost $100.00. I replied explaining how thoroughly we had cleaned the studio. Then in a following email, he said the fee would be $75.00. Rather than go around in circles, I agreed to pay the lesser fee, as it was clear that he simply wanted more money. If you're looking for a studio rental to host an event, I would highly recommend seeking it elsewhere.

On top of that the owner tried to figure out who's fault it was, mine or his, before giving me a refund! In contrast, working with Daniel at R Studio has been a pleasure. He is an excellent and prompt communicator, has been more than willing to support me with any questions or requests I've had, and the space itself is a great value. After trying out a number of different venues on the westside for my workshops R Studio is #1 on my list that I would recommend to others.

The glass lounge is a small private room at the InterContinental Century City Hotel. The space is…read morepretty because it is all glass windows and looks out at the yard of the hotel. This is not a restaurant or anything but a space you can rent out for events. The space is good for a smaller, intimate gathering of maybe 20-30 people or less. It is not a huge space. There's not really parking in the area so your guests would have to pull up to the valet which is something to consider if you don't want your guests to have to pay for parking. At the event I went to, they had an open bar in the corner and a small table of hors d'oeuvres on the opposite end. The waiters also walked around with more hors d'oeuvres. They put two tall tables in the middle where you can stand with your food. They also have a very comfy couch. The room is on the first floor of the hotel, near where you check in. It was a lovely private space and I would definitely suggest it for smaller gatherings. Lovely service and beautiful food presentation. The event I went to was entirely vegetarian so, they do cater to some dietary preferences.

I came here for an event and it was a very interesting venue. There is a great courtyard area that…read moreis really lovely and has a sound system and pretty lighting. This would be very nice for dancing or a cocktail area. The inside isn't as nice. It is actually an old smog shoppe and so if you're having a formal affair (like a formal wedding), this will feel off. The bathrooms especially give this a more casual, chain restaurant feeling. The neighborhood isn't great but if you come for any event, it's very likely there will be valet parking. That is the ONLY way to do it. Absolutely worth looking at if you're doing a work meeting, conference, rehearsal dinner or something where a more relaxed, artsy feel is in order.
