Maguire Gardens in downtown Los Angeles.
Paul W.

Lovely 2.3 acre Park in DTLA. One of my favorite little parks in DTLA with an entrance to the beautiful and historic Central Library. Quiet and peaceful in the heart of the Financial District. New 4000 square foot Italian restaurant Settecento will open in late 2023 in Maguire Gardens. Can't wait.

It's a small local park and sometimes serves as an event venue, right outside the public library, easy access from the east entrance on flower street.

A bunch of us walked through this garden one night last year. It was just okay. .. that's why I didn't write a review at the time (and now my photos won't link to this review! Haha!). It's located in the front of the Los Angeles Library in Downtown, on the corner of 5th and Flower Streets. Today, I walked through Maguire Garden during the daytime. ..wow! It looks so much better! It deserves recognition! There are several water features/fountains, benches, and inscriptions in different languages on the steps! The World Peace Bell is still here - it's cool because it's made out of melted coins and medals, donated from 103 countries! It's a great place to read a book or have a chat. The landscaping is simple and calming. Check it out!

Came across this place while walking to the car it's a little place that closes at 8pm but you can walk around the grounds near the building off to the side they have the World Peace Bell nice to see. I don't know what is inside the building. Just another thing to see while roaming around downtown LA.

I stumbled upon this cute little park one evening while I was waiting for our group of friends to get together. It's located right next to the public library on the corner of 5th St and Flower St. There are quite a few benches to sit and relax from the hustle and bustle of DTLA. There are plenty of trees and a nice little pathway to lead your throughout the tiny park. There is also the World Peace Bell tucked in one corner. Interesting fact is that the bell was cast from coins from 103 countries around the world all in the name of world peace! Their hours of operation are 5:00am - 8:00pm but if you happen to stop by after hours it is well lit as you pass through. If you happen to walk by, stop in and check it out.

I love Maguire Gardens! It's a nice slice of piece and quiet in the hustle and bustle of Downtown LA. I love the contrast- how you can find serenity and just look up and be surrounded by the tall skyscrapers. I always visit this quaint spot when I'm in town!

These lovely gardens surround the Central Library and Café Pinot in DTLA. The gardens have several benches for sitting and relaxing and a serene water feature. The gardens also bring a nice, lush, green effect to an area that would otherwise just be a 'concrete jungle'.

The venue itself looks amazing. It's not the easiest to find though. It's on the left side of a…read moreone-way Street. From the outside, we didn't see obvious signage indicating that this is the place. The telltale sign was that there were valet service staff outside. Also, the area itself is a little sketchy. But of course, that's out of the venue's control. Edit: I learned after the fact that the venue does not have control over catering so choose your caterers carefully ..ha Considering the price of admission for the gala we attended, the food was disappointingly mediocre. The salad was the highlight for me - it's got that gourmet vibe. The main course of beef and chicken was mediocre and the dessert was a joke. There were 9 people at the table, 6 of them left over 70% of their entrees untouched. That tells you a lot of about their opinion. The bar was crowded but the drinks were decent. The entertainment was much better than the food. The live band was Excellent and the casino was fun. The Majestic provided good service during the event. The lighting was super flattering for all the Instagram moments. lol The ambience inside was amazing and yes you will want to take many photos in your fancy outfits. :D Overall, a good event location.

I had my wedding here in August 2024, and I am still in bliss thinking about the day. The venue is…read moreperfect and the event coordinator (Ashton) even more so. Highly recommend!!

Vibiana once was the formal Catholic Cathedral for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It was damaged…read morein the 1994 Northridge earthquake. As a result, a lengthy battle ensued between the archdiocese, who wanted to demolish it, and preservationists, who wanted to designate it as a historical landmark. The preservationists won and it's now an event space with an adjacent restaurant called Redbird - both are owed by Redbird Chef Neal Fraser & Amy Knoll Fraser. Naturally, it's popular for weddings but has also been used for events & parties. I've attended many fashion shows here during LA Fashion Week. The venue is charming and the courtyard is a lovely spot for receptions. I recently came here for a cocktail seminar - TOTC. Some aspects of the church remain, including the beautiful hardwood floors, altar, confessionals, & choir area. Tastings were held in the cathedral and classes in the adjacent building, which was once the rectory. The staff here were all friendly and accommodating. It is a lovely & functional venue for events. *Metered street parking or lot across the street $12.

We did an ocular visit at Vibiana Cathedral as part of planning for our upcoming gala, and it was…read moreabsolutely unforgettable. The experience was magically beautiful from the moment we stepped inside. Vibiana's historic elegance, immersive visuals created an atmosphere that felt timeless and enchanting. Walking through the space honestly felt like time traveling back to the 1800s, with a romantic, cinematic vibe reminiscent of Bridgerton. The lighting, architecture, and overall ambiance transformed the cathedral into something truly extraordinary grand, dramatic, and full of old-world charm. It was the perfect setting to envision a gala: sophisticated, immersive, and memorable. If you're looking for a venue that blends history, art, and a sense of magic, Vibiana Cathedral is absolutely stunning and leaves a lasting impression. 4 stars as we felt rushed and didn't fully sit down for the pricing.

I came here to see the band Gorillaz' immersive art show and I was really impressed by the space…read more While they had Valet parking available, on a weekday morning there as plenty of free street parking in the area. Even if you come in the evening or over the weekend, it is worth driving around a bit in case you can get lucky. The space itself is much larger than it appeared from the outside. There was plenty of space. I also loved that they kept some of the old nursery building there and just built around it. It's a great repurposing of the previous business. In all, I would love to check out Rolling Greens again when it is not a special exhibit. I think it would make a great open air event space.

What a cool spot to host an event, aesthetic-wise (not sure financially if it's a good price lol)!…read moreI was here to attend a wellness event and I was impressed with the size of the spot and the varied options indoors and outdoors for whatever you need to host. Inside, there was enough room for a stage for speakers, a little backstage area for the speakers to congregate, counter space to serve food and drinks, space to sell merchandise, and an almost enclosed space for a separate session. Outdoors, there was seating for meals and open grassy and first space with tents for any outdoor programming. The event organizers rented some fancy outdoor temporary restrooms, so I'm unsure if Rolling Greens has restrooms at all or if they had restrooms, but it wasn't sufficient for our large gathering. I saw there was also parking available inside the gates that you can close, though for the event I attended, the parking spots were not utilized and we had to take the drawn parking spots outside, find street parking (which wasn't too bad), or do valet.
