    Went here for AFC. The staff in the premises was very professional, the area for the convention was big. At times it got really loud. There were only 2 stalls on the females restrooms, which I thought was going to be an inconvenience but it wasn't. The place was kept extremely clean. The elevators were fast. Parking was a bit small for a venue that accommodates so many people. Every day we were there there was another event with tons of people. We ended up parking 10 minutes and taking an uber to the location.

    This is strictly for the Magic Box itself and not for the IGN Live I attended. While this place is neat and clean with great security, it lacks the most important thing... WATER! There isn't a single water fountain, water cooler, or anything in here. There's no free water access to fill up bottles or anything. You're stuck paying for water which is a bit rude since I've never been to any type of convention center, building, etc. that lacked a resource so necessary as that. Other than that, the place is in an okay location with parking adjacent to the venue. The air conditioning works and the team they use to do projecting and programming was fine as well. Just wished they had accessible water.

    I attended the King Tut Immersive Experience that was held at Magic Box LA. We parked at the meters directly in front of the venue. Two hours for $4 was better than paying the flat rate in their lot. We didn't plan on being there longer than 2 hours so it worked out for us. The bathrooms were clean and we debated getting something from the food vendors on the first floor. The first time we were there the immersive experience had a technical delay so we were told to come back another day. We had already paid for parking but it wasn't much so we opted to drive into Chinatown to eat. The second time we were there, we were able to go through the exhibit and enjoy it. Again, we parked at the meters, and weren't there longer than 2 hours. It was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the exhibit and the space.

    We made it! IGN LIVE with Friends

    First time here at the IGN LIVE event. The people and staff are really cool and kind. Lots of goodies and eye candies ^-^

    Magic Box LA is housed in the iconic LA Mart building now known as The Reef in DTLA. This one-of-a-kind event center has hosted an enormous array of special events and art shows, with customizable event space over three floors, which attracts arts, design, fashion, film, television, advertising, and even tech industries. It has its own private parking lot though events fare could be pricey $20, and I would also suggest using alternative metered parking along the street.

    Saw the King Tut Immersive Experience. Definitely would recommend! It's awesome! You learn so much about the young king boy.

    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!

The high ceilings and historic charm made the entire day feel elegant and classic. We loved being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place without it ever feeling crowded. The open floor plan gave us so much freedom to design the space exactly how we wanted. The bridal suite was also a huge highlight- getting ready there with my bridesmaids was such a fun experience and having a separate grooms suite was a great bonus. The venue truly set the tone for a day that felt magical, timeless, and classy. Our coordinator, Ashton, was absolutely incredible and played such a huge role in making our day stress-free!! She handled EVERYTHING- communicating with vendors, staying organized, keeping the timeline on track, and making sure every detail was covered. She is punctual, professional, and truly on top of things. Because of Ashton, I felt calm and supported throughout the entire process. She carried herself with such confidence and grace and it made all the difference. If you're considering The Majestic Downtown and working with Ashton, I couldn't recommend them more. Our day was everything we dreamed of and more

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.
