If you're looking for top quality and amazing prices, THIS is the place you're looking for. Great prices, excellent service, TOP quality - will be back on my next project for sure. Speedlight is AWESOME!

Ralph Llateras, "location manager," is a nasty, "My house, my rules" type of manchild. Basically,…read morehe owns the place. And even after youve paid thousands of dollars to use his space and agreed to uphold strict, contracted terms, he thinks he owns you and every other part of a production happening under "his" roof. He will make that explicitly clear to everyone, multiple times, in case you forget. We paid good money to use his space and during shooting he followed us around, nosing his way in everything, beeping in on the walkies with his two cents on things not at all concerning him, and taking from our (head counted) catering. He threw a fit and screamed obscenities at one of our PA's for "stealing" some wire cutters, when later his daughter explained that she'd used them, and when we brought this up to him, all he said was "I dont like anyone touching my stuff, not even her." No apology. Nothing. She however was very apologetic and explained "he only has two moods, normal and pissed off, and he switches them on a dime." Sad to hear someone having to describe their father that way to excuse his obnoxious behavior. His wife and daughter are nice. But thats not enough of a reason for you to ever want to use this place for staging anything. Literally anything else would better. If you dont believe me, go check it out. The worst part about all of this is that the space isnt even nice. Its dumpy. If everything was new and pristine, maybe id understand some of the more anal retentive qualities of little Ralphie. But its not. He likes to bring up all the big movie studios hes worked with to let you know how important he is, like every else hasn't worked with the five companies that make movies in hollywood. He doesnt mention that his "big studio work" was when they actually had another, by all accounts much nicer location, which they no longer have. All in all, a real jerk, who doesnt deserve anyones business. But dont take my word for it, go meet with him in person and see how long he can sell you on his "nice" image. He probably will get his wife to do the walkthrough though like they did for us, since she was pleasant, and save his beady eyed little soul patch having face until after youve paid and are shooting and its too late. Also all of this happened over two days.

I would not recommend filming at Central City Stages to anyone…read more In addition to the review below, prospective film companies should be aware that THERE IS NO FILMING ALLOWED at this facility per the film permit office: FilmL.A. (You will not be able to obtain a permit, which will render your production insurance invalid, and leave yourself open to being shutdown mid-shoot by the police or LAFD.) Ralph Lliteras, the site rep and building manager is the most abrasive and unprofessional person I have ever had the dis-pleasure of working with. Ralph is combative, delusional, rambling, dishonorable, deranged and full of malice. During our short stint of principle photography on site, Ralph threatened to shut down production nine times. He would continually hold the film hostage and claim that he would not open the gates the following day, or would turn off the power mid-shoot. Unprovoked, Ralph's demeanor would swing wildly from cheerful to angry and back again. Prior to our arrival, Ralph had gotten into some hot water with his landlord as well as the city and would continually endeavor to make our production his enemy in his ever shifting narrative of events. Every step of the way Ralph's combative nature made our film much more trying then it needed to have been - simple requests were met with angary negotiations, honest questions were met with a barrage of furious ultimatums. By all accounts, dealing with Ralph was a draining and monumentally unpleasant experience. What should have been a simple stage-shoot was continually complicated by Ralph's disjointed neurosis and rambling dissertations on Forever 21, FilmL.A., the Los Angeles Fire Department and his inability to take responsibility for his actions. His candor was perennially unprofessional, irrational and unfounded. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering filming at Central City Stages seek out anywhere else to bring their production.

John was alway available for a quick Zoom call, responding to our call or email quickly. He even drove down to meet with us at his office when it was closed and sat down to go over our timeline. Our photographer was MIA and difficult to get a hold of. So having John was really helpful and reassuring in the planning process. He made the entire process from booking him, to the day of the wedding and from receiving the videos so easy. On the day off, John and his crew arrived on time and was patient with the makeup artist who was running behind. Their was no pressure when things weren't running on time and he went with the flow. John was SO easy to work with, gave great direction on how we should pose and guided us during the day. He and his crew were so professional and nice. He showed us shots that he took throughout the day and we loved seeing them. You really want to work with vendors who you trust, know that will get the job done without needing a lot of direction and are easy to get along with. John and the entire VIP crew was exactly that. 100% customer service and satisfaction and that's exactly what you want from your vendor when planning such a stressful event. Having a backyard small wedding during COVID allowed us to get a drone and so glad we did. It really added an extra touch without it being intrusive or loud while we were getting married. Book the drone!!! Must get the drone!!! So glad we did. Not only is John a great guy but a great videographer. He has a detailed eye and gift for capturing moments. So many cool gadgets/cameras/ ect that was evident in the final product. We loved loved our videos. We got the highlight, 30 minute edit, full edit and the raw footage. Spectacular!!!!!! We will be using John and VIP for all our parties and will refer him. And this is a real review. Sometimes you go through reviews and it's the companies friends/family ect that leave the positive reviews and you have to take it with a grain of salt. But no this is 100% legit!
