    Recently visited The Reef when they hosted The Los Angeles Coffee Festival. The space that the Festival had selected on not on the main floor and to enter you had to climb up a good amount of exterior stairs - this was fine on our visit as it was middle of the day and sunny and dry. Once within the space served as a great backdrop to the many booths for the festival.

    SATURDAY SCHEDULE: First heard about this event (Inspiration L.A.) while visiting Monsivais & Company out in Highland Park. I'm a huge fan of early nineteen-hundred design, vintage Americana, apparel and craftwork - and more importantly, supporting small brand businesses with in the community, so the invitation couldn't have come in a better time (thanks Damian). Got there around noon, found the four hour parking meter a few blocks up, thought I'd save $20 for something else. Not too crowded, elevators weren't packed like sardines, as soon as the doors open, the 2nd floor was flooded, a room full of artisans, bespoke tailors, traders, sellers and smiths. It's a beautiful thing, surrounded by history and the people who preserve and share it. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WALK: First stop, a company called CHAFF, specializing in mens jewelry out in Japan, I met Masahiko (director), zeroed in on a hand-beaded bracelet piece - had my name written all over it (fits like a glove). Another Japanese designer, Kosuke from Clutch Golf clothing (a perfect gentleman), I was "this close" to purchasing a crème graph patterned ensemble, couldn't pull the trigger, no place to try on the set, oh well. And finally, Freenote Cloth Company also out in L.A. (Highland Park) area. Talk about impeccably tailored & attention to detail, the double-breasted fur shawl collar coat in hunter green tweed, shoulders fit nicely, couldn't lift my arms and it was one size too small for my liking. If you admire the bygone era of denim, military, leather, motorcycles, old watches, shoes, tweed caps, wool fedoras, patches and college banners, this is the place to be.

    I visited this place to come to the Foodie Con event. The building is nice and clean. There was plenty of space for the event. I saw so many different vendors today is was a lot of fun. The name for the building or convention hall is a little out there, but works in my opinion.

    First time coming, staff friendly, cafe clean, seating area is pretty cool, variety of shops, lots of bathrooms but only two stalls, gets really busy when there is an event. will return.

    See all

    Went here for the Bjork experience, it was a cool space which has the capability to house large art exhibits. Very creative space.

    A few weeks ago an old friend and her husband celebrated their wedding reception at The Terrace and…read moreit was one of the most Los Angeles-esque venues that you could have in LA. From years back I remember her saying that she always wanted an LA Wedding, and this place made it happen. Rooftop venue, complete with skyline surroundings, and minimalist luxe table settings. It's a setting that would make any reality tv show or urban pop culture show satisfied. The food was also really delicious- buffet serving by Wolfgang Puck. Everything from the apps to the dessert was perfect. Tips: Cornerspace location above Grammy museum. The entrance is a small door around the corner from Shaquille's. The guests get shuttles up by elevator. I read that the venue had a strict 150 event cap. For a Filipino wedding you can only imagine how difficult that is! The couple kept it adults only. Nearest parking was the underground parking lot, Connected to LA Live. For 5 hours it cost $28-30. The venue can be as simple, industrial, or formal as you want to make it. Restrooms nicely placed around the corner from seating areas.

A few months ago, we were driving all over downtown looking for an urban rooftop wedding venue. (I will refrain from bashing some of the terrible/unresponsive venue coordinators we met). We were losing hope, but randomly stumbled across The Terrace through a Google search. I decided to call and leave a message. Nick called me back within minutes and we scheduled a time to check-out the venue the next day. Our first impression - "wow, this place is cool!" Very urban, very chic, and very LA. And there are many options to do a dual-venue event (Grammy Museum, Novo Lounge, etc). However, I immediately ruled it out because I assumed we couldn't afford the venue. However, we were pleasantly surprised by Nick's willingness to work with us. Through the entire planning process, Nick and his team were so patient, responsive and helpful. He was a great communicator. When certain things got held-up/delayed, he would call just to give me regular updates. Wedding planning is stressful, so I can't thank him enough for his professionalism and responsiveness. Nick is awesome. But it's not just Nick... Ali at the Grammy Museum, Jessica at Wolfgang Puck Catering - everybody was amazing. Very flexible, very responsive, and so kind... The food was amazing, but I'll save that for my Wolfgang Puck Catering review (that Chicken Pot Pie... DAMN!). Our guests were amazed with the venue, especially at night when the city lights came on. The venue speaks for itself. Look at pictures, schedule a visit... it is a no-brainer. And I assure you, the Terrace team is amazing. You are in GREAT hands.

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!

There is a large hallway when you enter, then a bar to the left side in a separate room, and I think the women's restroom is across the way. If you kept straight, you enter the large ballroom where there are bars on either side and a stage in front where the dj was. For our particular event, there was a long table set up on the right side for a minimal offering of food while there was random furniture set up throughout the venue along with a couple of photo booths. Considering the previous years party was actually AT work, Candela was a nice upgrade!

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.

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.
