    Well I am proud and excited to be the first review of Monk Space as a wedding venue. My husband and I were married at Monk Space in November. It was a dream. I was interested in a DIY wedding. My husband and I are both creative people who wanted to create our own wedding from the ground up. We wanted something that was personal and intimate. We wanted our wedding to be in short, us. It was extremely difficult to find an industrial, off-beat space that would let us have the type of freedom afforded to us at Monk Space. At Monk Space we were able to create a wedding. We did not have to fit our vision into someone else's rules. We could choose our own vendors! This is such a luxury in the land of package deals. Further Michael is an amazing man to do business with. He was accommodating, easy to get ahold of and present when we needed him. He answered all of our seemingly endless questions and never failed to impress me with his kind, knowledgeable, calm demeanor. We loved working with him. We used all four spaces available to us for a wedding of about 100. ,We had an absolutely perfect wedding. Our guests are still talking about it. I seriously was happy with every moment and so were our guests. Thanks so much!

    The Chocolate and Art show is held here. My Wife and I went here to see the art and I saw more than Art, There was body painting with topless women. The body painting was beautiful and tastful, The art is from local artisians showing their craft from Oil on canvas to pottery and jewelry. My Son is one of the artists www.manniemaniac.webs.com And it was a great show. I guess this review is for the place it was held in. Downtown Los angeles in Koreatown. The place has a beatnik / rustic feel which I love but the indoor part of it needs better ventilation as the bands start playing it gets really hot and stuffy. overall it has a great feel but as the show gets bigger, and it will, it is going to need a better place.

    Haze to fill the room created light rays coming through the doorway.

    I was hired to perform and create marketing imagery for a professional Argentine Tango group. Because they were all performing in the Long Beach area and would go to separate performances afterward I needed to locate a venue in LA. The client wanted texture and character in the environment which led me to Monk Space. He has around seven separate areas in the building that are phenomenal in their different feelings and possibilities. Upon arrival Michael met us there and explained as well as showed us the different areas. There is a great Green Room as well as multiple rest rooms throughout the building. All clean and well stocked. Just as important as the venue, Michael and his partner are not only extremely accommodating, but kind men. He also offers light stands, soft boxes and other items. All rooms have multiple electrical outlets. We brought our own strobes and modifiers, but having the ability to rent stands from him saves a ton of packing. They also allow smoke and haze machines in the location which was a must for this session. All in all I can only say that if you are looking for an incredible venue with a kind and welcoming owner, look no further!

    On February 9, 2019, we held our daughter's Bat Mitzvah party at Monk Space. We are still basking in the glow. Monk Space was the perfect place for our party in every way. We loved everything about the look of the space - it was just the kind of arty industrial downtown vibe we wanted. Michael, the site manager, is one of the kindest most generous people imaginable. He made himself available every time we needed him, with patience, kindness and professionalism. He radiates calm, competence and downright decency. He lit the place beautifully and helped us in so many ways, large and small. The whole place just took our breath away when we walked in for the party. My daughter said her Bat Mitzvah was perfect. We agree. Our guests loved it and we got so many compliments on our creativity. Thank you Michael! Wish we could relive it a few more times.

    Amazing Space!

    We found this amazing place!!! We were so lucky to find this beautiful space for my daughter's birthday party. Its very hard to find a space for teen party and to find a service that was so accommodating. We met Michael(owner) who showed us the space. Michael was very professional & was prompt to his service of renting this beautiful space. I give 5 stars and highly recommend this space for any events.

    New Years Eve Wedding

    We had our New Years Eve wedding at Monk Space. We planned the wedding ourselves, and Michael was lovely to work with, and extremely helpful. It was the fashion event of the year, and one hell of a party! The venue was easy to find. It accommodated our party of 100 guests. Michael took care of the table and chair rentals, sound system, as well as the "mood lighting." I 100% recommend this space to anyone!

    On June 14 had the opportunity to attend a really nice event Red Tie Promotions - Reflections Art Show Featured 15 artist it was a great event Positive vibes , great art , live music , and food . Definitely will attend next year. My favorite is RIO love his paintings.

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 Enchanted Manor was the first place we looked at and we both felt that it was the right fit. Georgia has created a little oasis in her back yard that we felt fit our vibe - lowkey, but classy. We had booked originally for approximately 60 guests, however once all the pieces fell into place we were closer to 50. Unfortunately our guest count dropped below 50 just after our window to let Georgia know, but she was kind enough to offer us the price difference. We applied that balance towards renting some heaters and lighting the fire pits as the weather got colder than anticipated, as well as to handling the trash. (Pay attention to the contract, you are responsible for removing trash or there is a fee.) One thing I didn't realize before booking was that there is space for a kitchen, but it needs to be built out for your event, so make sure you consider that into any costs. Georgia was really helpful and responsive to all of our questions (we had so many) and anything that we couldn't do she had very reasonable reasons. (For example, at one point I thought I'd like confetti, but she explained why she doesn't allow that on her property which made total sense!) The weeks before I became worried that there wasn't enough decor, so we bought some items that we ended up returning. Once the rentals arrived, combined with the lighting, everything was beautiful as it was. Though there is excellent lighting, I would recommend watching your step as we did have a few tripping incidents (that were not alcohol fueled in some cases) as the ground changed. It was more due to the way things were spaced and we'd have to make sure to look down as we stepped around things, but we managed to survive. We've started to see some photos and everything looked beautiful; it was a romantic but relaxed vibe which was just what we wanted. I worried it wouldn't feel like a wedding, but it did. Georgia was a gracious host, our guests enjoyed her home (we made sure to tell them that they could rent it as well for an overnight getaway) and we can't wait to start reading her book. She gave us the sweetest compliment after, saying how kind our guests were and how that spoke to who my husband and I were as well. We stayed in touch after the wedding and I hope we meet again in the future for events or just a dinner to hear of her adventures! PS - her cats were big hits all around, too!

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.
