About The United Theater on Broadway
The United Theater on Broadway is a restored 1927 Downtown Los Angeles movie palace offering a 1,600-plus-seat auditorium and an ornate three-story mirrored Grand Lobby, with an attached hotel for full-weekend events. It is perfect for a couple wanting a dramatic, cinematic, architecturally iconic downtown wedding with room to host a large celebration and an adjacent hotel for guests.
What couples love
The 1927 movie palace built by the United Artists founders gives unmatched historic grandeur. The three-story Grand Lobby with its ceiling of thousands of mirrors is a show-stopping backdrop. The adjacent hotel provides guest rooms, a rooftop pool and event space for a full weekend. The theater and mezzanine spaces offer a truly one-of-a-kind cinematic setting.
Good to know
The venue is large and grand, so it can feel cavernous or costly to fill for smaller counts. Rental fees span a wide range and require direct quotes. As a busy downtown performance venue, dates and load-in windows can be constrained by the calendar.
