    We hosted our summer 2025 wedding at Smogshoppe with the Marvimon team and seriously wow. Whatever your expectations out of a venue and a production team, throw them out the window because Marvimon will surpass them 10 fold. Truly, we don't know what we would have done if we didn't host with Marvimon. Due to a mandated curfew in the downtown area that went into effect 2 days before our wedding, we had to pull off a last minute venue change. They immediately offered to move us from Millwick in Arts District to Smogshoppe in Culver City to keep our guests safe and our timeline intact, and then worked night and day to update layouts, shift staff over, and make our wedding happen with no hiccups. They were truly a dream to work with. On top of that, every single interaction we had with them was so focused on understanding and executing our vision for our day. I don't know how their team does it, but every single email we sent them was replied to in 15 minutes flat and with everything we needed to know and more. You really feel like a VIP working with Marvimon!! Finally, everyone, from their coordinating staff to their security team, are the nicest people on Earth. Marvimon seriously makes dreams come true. Work with them!! You won't regret it!!

    We had our wedding here and could not have asked for more detailed, organized, empathetic, and down to earth human beings to help us with it. The Smogshoppe staff was all so amazing, and as a testament to that so are all of the vendors they attract. We ended up going with Fundamental catering, which was one of their suggested vendors, and everyone was blown away by them. I worked specifically with Clare and Anika from Smogshoppe, and they both seamlessly planned to the final detail in order to reassure us that the day would be beautiful. It was beyond anything we dreamed of!

    Perfect for the Wedding reception we attended and it was so perfect! The venue is perfect and the ambiance was so nice.. From the outside it didn't look much , but once you enter it's so amazing!

    I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating a recent wedding at SmogShoppe, and let me just say this venue is such a vibe! Working with Dana, Clare, and the rest of the Marvimon team again was such a joy, as they always make the whole planning process a breeze for myself, the bride and groom, and everyone involved in the big day. The venue itself is so unique, eclectic, and has a ton of character that little to no decor is needed. Even still, the clients and I had a lot of fun personalizing the setup to create a fun and unique vibe that highlighted their personalities on their special day. If you're looking to host your next celebration at a one-of-a-kind venue that's far from your standard hotel ballroom--you've found it at SmogShoppe!

    Smog Shoppe is a PICTURE PERFECT heaven for any wedding. It's one of my absolute favorite venues in Los Angeles. When I found out my couple booked this as their venue, I was STOKED! It has so many beautiful areas for photos. Aside from the beautiful ceremony space itself which is completely lined with greenery, the venue has some secret nooks that are stunning. The bridal bathroom itself is beautiful, as well as the ladies bathroom downstairs. We took advantage of both spaces! The reception space is moody and absolutely freakin stunning, it's fun to photograph because it's different than most. The venue is perfection, you will not regret having your wedding here.

    Responsive, transparent, and fun! My wife and I had the best time booking this location. The first place we were acknowledged as a couple and not just a pair of friends, that speaks volumes about the kind of people who work here! We couldn't have asked for a more magical location to share our love for each other. A hidden gem and a speakeasy feel as well. After touring so many locations thank you Smogshoppe for being that breath of fresh air. Customization of the vendors made for a very appealing booking. This venue has so much character and charm that very little decor was needed (other than some personal touches) to make it feel like magic. If you are looking for a unique space with amazing staff (shout out to Dana!) and a loving atmosphere look no further. Our guests had the best time and had the best things to say about this little secret garden. Great times, photos, and the perfect backdrop to any event.

    Great interior

    Everyone at this facility accommodated our wedding party extremely well. I have never been to this location but the venue is absolutely perfect for any large or midsize celebration indoor outdoor garden you name it they have it. My clients wedding was absolutely beautiful and all her Beautiful family and friends were very happy and satisfied with all of your accommodations here. I love the unique Decour and the attention to detail every where my eyes landed. I definitely recommend this venue and I look forward to attending and possibly booking future events with your facility.

    I recently photographed a wedding at SmogShoppe and this place is STUNNING. The perfect setting for an intimate wedding with your closest family and friends. With all of the beautiful lush greenery, you don't even feel like you're in Los Angeles. Plus, the staff there is so lovely! Everyone was kind and great to work with. Can't wait for my next wedding here! - Tida Svy

    I was lucky enough to get to shoot a wedding here with my boyfriend who is a photographer. We were truly wowed by the details! Seriously, around every little corner there's beautiful decor, cool vintage finds, and greenery that makes me want to hire them to decorate my house! The upstairs private area for bride and groom or like a VIP section was stunning. Roomy and just beautiful. We ended up getting amazing shots up there! The outside area set the perfect backdrop for vows and made an already beautiful crowd just shine! They did have a weird no-vendor-drinking policy which was a bit of a turn off but we understood. I'm guessing someone along the line had ruined it for everyone. I hope I get to return here again for other events because it was truly unique and beautiful!

    See all

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 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.

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!

From the moment we booked, Joe (the owner) and his entire team were unbelievably accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. Their communication was seamless from start to finish, and they made the entire planning process stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The indoor-outdoor rooftop layout with bi-fold doors, gorgeous lighting, and incredible views created the perfect atmosphere. We hosted 120 guests, but the space can easily accommodate up to 200 people, making it ideal for Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate events, and any private party. One of the biggest advantages of The Palm Sophia is its versatility. We brought in our own vendors, including a kosher caterer, and the staff generously allowed full use of their fully equipped kitchen. They also offer valet parking, onsite security, heaters, and were even willing to tent the outdoor space if the weather turned, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They have tables, chairs, and staff available to help with setup, which saved us so much time and coordination. Every guest commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was -- almost none of them had been there before, and everyone was blown away. This venue is truly a hidden gem in Culver City. I honestly can't believe more people don't know about it. If you're looking for a modern, spacious, and effortlessly elegant event space in Los Angeles, The Palm Sophia should be at the very top of your list. I would choose it again in a heartbeat.

He made the planning feel easy (even when we were stressed!) and handled all the little details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. He even made sure we had a bridal suite accommodation, which was so helpful on our wedding day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how smooth the whole day went. From the setup to the flow of the evening, everything felt seamless. If you're looking for a unique and beautiful rooftop space with great people running the show, we seriously can't recommend Palm Sophia enough. We'll always have the best memories here!

It was like the coolest venue and people would come in with these great ideas and completely decorated and it would look different every single time you'd go to the space I saw that the sign says it is up for rent so it is permanently closed, but the business still throws parties just I think they usually use the Mondrian. UC would throw these epic themed parties... I live in walking distance so I would take a roadie and walk on over and it was always something fun like a Brazilian Samba night they had Coachella Chic, and WWD Fashion Week. I loved getting all dressed up and then you know, taking pictures of the step and repeat and meeting so many different people from all over... it's not the same at the Mondrian first of all I have to get there. I can't just walk to the Mondrian and there's just something about the parties that is just not the same so this event space was amazing. I see it's for rent now. I can't imagine how much it would cost to rent out that space and have it full. At least every other weekend to make your rent. I don't know if any of it is non-for-profit I have no idea but it's gotta be a big chunk of changed to rent that space cause it's a really big space. It goes way back. You can't tell how big it is from looking at it on the street so I will always have my fond memories of this place and hopefully they find a different space to open.

The owner Michael is incredibly nice, and from the bouncers to the bartenders I couldn't find a single negative thing to say about their amazing staff. Culver City PD actually runs their security so you feel safe and sound while dancing to top DJs from around the world. I've attended their Rose and Lace parties where they often have aerial acrobatics and beautiful dancers in elaborate costumes. This lace party they actually had the Love Bus with a DJ on top in the back yard. This place never ceases to amaze me.
