The property is absolutely stunning and so incredibly well maintained, with so many gorgeous areas and details that made our photos feel really special. Parking was also super easy, which made arriving with everyone on the wedding day completely stress-free. Kristen was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication was wonderful from beginning to end, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to be in touch with leading up to our wedding. She was kind, helpful, responsive, and made everything so easy for us. The estate is lucky to have her. We're so happy we chose the Houdini Estate for our wedding photos and couldn't recommend both the property and Kristen more!

I'm not sure if valet service is always available but at the event I attended, it was. I also noticed that they provide a shuttle service for folks who have difficulty managing the steps to or from the actual event. That way they can get out of their cars, board the shuttle and get to the event in relative ease. It's a critical accommodation for those with vision/mobility issues. I am looking into renting this venue for our anniversary. I'm so glad I discovered this place! From the looks of it, it's inevitable to forge some unforgettable memories at the Houdini Estate.

I called the restaurant on Monday to let them know and there was no response on the phone and on the Google maps it says that the restaurant has permanently closed. I do not live in the area so it's not that easy to just drive up there from Orange County so now I have to deal with my bank and cancel my debit card because obviously when a card has been run six times, there is something going on which is not legit. The food was OK and I'm Margarita was OK but the Billing is not OK. It seems that if this restaurant has shut down and that was the last day, someone was being shady.. one star is one star too many in my opinion.If someone gets back to me,I will remove the review. And I called again today and I actually was able to leave a message, but there was no reading for this number so I don't know if anyone's gonna receive it. I will have to contact my bank in the morning.

The space is absolutely stunning and can comfortably host 200+ guests.

The venue is very well thought out, with a kitchen in the back for hired vendors and caterers, dedicated vendor parking, valet for guests, private rooms, and multiple lounge areas. Everything flowed seamlessly, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. A truly lovely experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

Was really a great experience working with her who was always available with all my questions and was flexible as we navigated changes to our event due to the LA fires. Also shout out to Beth who assisted during the event day, she helped the show continue while I was occupied and very dependable. Let's get into the space. It's absolutely versatile and spacious with two rooms that could be used how you like, a large lobby and the a Huge main room that could be used as a canvas for whatever you need it to become. The venue welcomes all event design but has a natural aesthetic that works wonders especially with their built in rentals that come with the space such as the plentiful rustic tables and chairs, media features like LARGE screen and projector and in house audio. Def already thinking how I can reuse the space at a later date.

Bel-Air Bay Club hit all the marks, with the ceremony right on the lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the reception hall catering our wedding party and turning into the night court to fit our starry night theme, we couldn't have imaginged a better venue to host our wedding. Not only was the venue beautiful, it also came with the best food catering that we have had the pleasure of enjoying at a wedding. The team at BABC was able to make our wedding a banquet with buffet-style stations that had our guest saying the quality was top notch. They were able to accomodate mutiple different cuisine from traditional American to Asian-fusion to vegatarian options for our wide variety of guests. The team at BABC was very accommodating and wonderful to work with and the staff were very helpful throughout the wedding event. Anytime we or our planner had a question, they worked with us to achieve the best possible outcome. It truly felt that we were on the same team. The day of, their staff ran the wedding seamlessly and and made sure everyone was taken care of in terms of food, beverage, and desserts. We truly felt like royalty! Thank you to the BABC team for providing such a lovely venue and making our special night one to remember! We definitely recommend this venue to any couples looking to find the right combination of beauty and fun all in one package.

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.

Located off of Jefferson boulevard in Culver City, this place is one of a kind. My first impression was its an art gallery converted to a music venue. While everything else in the area is a beach bar, this is hand down the coolest spot in town. It's often hard to find street parking, so I find it super convenient that they have a valet. 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.

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.

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!
