Our Favorite Event Venues on the Westside of Los Angeles
Santa Monica Proper Hotel. Image Source: Design Hotels
Proper Hotel
700 Wilshire Blvd
A favorite for couples drawn to layered interiors and a warm, curated aesthetic. Proper Hotel blends California ease with European influence, featuring rich textures, sculptural furniture, and natural materials throughout the space.
The interiors pair especially well with tonal florals, soft neutrals, and sculptural stems. The design already carries so much depth, so florals can be more intentional and refined here.
Best for: editorial-style weddings, intimate receptions, design-focused couples

Bar Juliet
8888 Washington Blvd, Suite 102
Bar Juliet has a moodier, more atmospheric feel. The bar itself acts as a focal point, with warm lighting, layered materials, and a strong sense of depth.
This is a space that invites contrast. Rich color palettes, statement installations, and directional florals work especially well here. It’s ideal for couples who want something that feels a little more dramatic without losing polish.
Best for: evening receptions, bold palettes, statement floral moments

Margot
8820 Washington Blvd, Suite 301
Margot is light-filled and airy, with an indoor-outdoor flow that feels distinctly West Coast. The space is clean but not minimal, with just enough texture to build on.
Florals here can go in multiple directions. Sculptural stems feel right at home, but so do softer garden-inspired arrangements or fruit-forward tablescapes.
Best for: daytime weddings, fresh palettes, indoor-outdoor celebrations
Vespertine. Image: Afar
Vespertine
3599 Hayden Ave
For couples looking for something architectural and unconventional, Vespertine stands out. The space is striking, with strong lines, reflective surfaces, and a more avant-garde feel.
Florals here should feel equally considered. Minimal, sculptural designs or monochrome palettes tend to complement the environment best, allowing the space and the florals to work together rather than compete.
Best for: modern weddings, minimalist florals, design-driven events
Si!Mon. Image: Time Out
Si! Mon
60 N Venice Blvd
Si! Mon brings in bold interiors with rich color, pattern, and texture. The space already makes a statement, which opens the door for more playful floral direction.
Unexpected color palettes work especially well here. Think saturated tones, layered textures, and arrangements that feel expressive without being overly formal.
Best for: colorful weddings, playful design, statement tablescapes
The Shay. Image: Day Use
The Shay
8801 Washington Blvd
The Shay offers a more relaxed, open-air setting with clean lines and a neutral base. It’s versatile, which makes it a strong option for couples who want flexibility in their design.
This is a great space for layered tablescapes, fruit and floral moments, and softer color palettes. It can easily shift from understated to more expressive depending on the direction.
Best for: outdoor receptions, textural florals, seasonal palettes
Rolling Greens Culver City. Image: Rolling Greens
Rolling Greens
9528 Jefferson Blvd
Rolling Greens brings in a natural, greenhouse-inspired setting with greenery already built into the space. It has a more organic, immersive feel compared to traditional venues.
Florals here can lean into that environment. Loose, abundant arrangements, trailing greenery, and layered textures all work seamlessly.
Best for: garden-style weddings, lush florals, nature-forward design
Gjusta Venice. Image: Gjusta
Gjusta
320 Sunset Ave
Gjusta is more casual but still highly design-driven. The space has a warm, rustic feel with brick, wood, and an indoor-outdoor layout that feels relaxed but intentional.
Florals here don’t need to be overly structured. Fruit and floral pairings, softer arrangements, and slightly undone designs fit naturally within the space.
