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!

This review is for the unfortunate experience I had renting R-Studio last month…read more From my first encounter with the owner, Daniel, I was put off by his social awkwardness. Not what you'd expect from someone who deals with numerous people on a daily basis. However, I let neither that nor the somewhat steep cost of the studio deter me from renting the place for my birthday party. The studio was in slight disarray when I showed up on the day I'd booked it for. Folding chairs and random painting were strewn about, and the floor needed to be swept. So I had to handle that before even setting up my own decorations and equipment. Daniel had mentioned several times previously that he wanted the studio returned in the same condition as it was before my event. So throughout the night, my friends and I made sure to clean up any spills or messes. After the party ended, we were literally on our hands and knees making sure the place was spotless. The following day, despite the great care we took, Daniel wrote a harsh email to me and demanded a cleaning fee. He initially said having the floors steamed would cost $100.00. I replied explaining how thoroughly we had cleaned the studio. Then in a following email, he said the fee would be $75.00. Rather than go around in circles, I agreed to pay the lesser fee, as it was clear that he simply wanted more money. If you're looking for a studio rental to host an event, I would highly recommend seeking it elsewhere.

Daniel at R Studio is reliable, trustworthy, and his spaces are a great value…read more I've had some poor experiences renting at other places, including one of my events getting double booked AFTER I'd already filled out the rental paperwork and signed it. On top of that the owner tried to figure out who's fault it was, mine or his, before giving me a refund! In contrast, working with Daniel at R Studio has been a pleasure. He is an excellent and prompt communicator, has been more than willing to support me with any questions or requests I've had, and the space itself is a great value. After trying out a number of different venues on the westside for my workshops R Studio is #1 on my list that I would recommend to others.

The glass lounge is a small private room at the InterContinental Century City Hotel. The space is…read morepretty because it is all glass windows and looks out at the yard of the hotel. This is not a restaurant or anything but a space you can rent out for events. The space is good for a smaller, intimate gathering of maybe 20-30 people or less. It is not a huge space. There's not really parking in the area so your guests would have to pull up to the valet which is something to consider if you don't want your guests to have to pay for parking. At the event I went to, they had an open bar in the corner and a small table of hors d'oeuvres on the opposite end. The waiters also walked around with more hors d'oeuvres. They put two tall tables in the middle where you can stand with your food. They also have a very comfy couch. The room is on the first floor of the hotel, near where you check in. It was a lovely private space and I would definitely suggest it for smaller gatherings. Lovely service and beautiful food presentation. The event I went to was entirely vegetarian so, they do cater to some dietary preferences.

Every angle of the venue is very well thought out, and there are lots of little nooks and corners that are great for conversation, intimate moments, dancing, meeting new folks, or a little display or setup. The couple who got married was so thoughtful about setting up the space but I also felt the venue was very well suited to be able to do so much even with limited space. There was a special suite on the second floor, large banquet area with projector, and fun outside area with plenty of comfortable seating. I had a fantastic time!

Unfortunately my first time visit became my last visit. I will not be going back again…read more We were a party of 7. The owner brought us in to the biggest room.
