What couples love
Couples love the garden-rich 24-acre grounds that need little added decor. It is very affordable compared with similar outdoor LA venues. You can choose your own caterer and most vendors. There is ample parking and spacious dressing rooms.
Good to know
It is outdoor-only with a hard 10:00 PM curfew and limited amplified sound. The park stays open to the public during events, so it is not fully private. Required security monitors add fees and outdoor dining means weather exposure.
