The Majestic Downtown

Came here for Crave Expo and was thoroughly impressed by the space and architecture of the building. I can see why couples would want to host their wedding here.
The venue is very huge and can accommodate a large crowd. The high ceilings, tall columns, and lightning really help put the place together. I wish I could afford having an event here.

My friend got married here — SUCH a gorgeous venue and even historical on LA terms. (Built 1921, has a Gatsby feel with ornate architecture and sweeping archways). Was headquarters for the Los Angeles Bank of America for 40 years, and you can tell from the giant vault.
Feels like you’re in a movie, especially knowing all that was filmed here — Traffic, Blow, Mad Men, Spiderman 2, Seven, The Mask, Bridesmaids, The Dark Night.

Coordinated a party for a real estate company here on ¹²⁄₁₀. Worked via email and phone with the onsite rep, Catrina, who was knowledgeable and very nice. I really believe she went above and beyond helping us out and making sure we had all of the info and floor plans etc!
The venue itself is stunning – there’s no other place like it in LA and I would know since I have coordinated large events in LA over the past 10 years. Our guests, especially the architects, were really excited to be there and loved all of the cool details.
It was clean and all set up when I arrived to do some last minute decorating. Beautiful!

Dancing with a Princess is like floating on air… But when it’s your daughter, well, nothing compares.
The name truly says it all. Majestic Halls provided a venue for one of the most Enchanting weddings ever. The room was almost as beautiful as the Bride. Tall ceilings, chandeliers dripping in crystal, tall columns, lighting schemes that were dramatic, warm and dreamlike. Unique areas for Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Dinner and Reception. All creating a life event that instantly became a Forever-​Memory.

This was a beautiful venue, the uplighting made all the difference, as it transforms the place. Working with the management, specifically Catrina, made this such a wonderful and pleasant event to plan! I would highly recommend having your event here. The personal service was spectacular! Thanks so much!

BEAUTIFUL venue. A giant vault still stands, as it used to be a bank of Italy (according to the bride and groom of the wedding I attended to) — a lot of beautiful areas for incredible pictures. High ceilings, and beautiful stairs (but hard to walk up and down for food in heels) anyways this was just one event — this place is huge and I imagine all types of events are thrown here with multiple options on what to do — while getting food we realized there was a whole other closed side — that is probably open for larger events. Fun and elegant place for a wedding reception.

I am a veteran wedding planner with CC’s Celebrations & More and we have worked with Rowena and Therese for a year. My couples wedding was on 12÷13÷14. They were so helpful and very much apart of the planning process. They worked with my couple & myself and were very professional. We brought in all services from outside and it all worked out well and Therese was so accommodating.
The venue was so beautiful and added that elegance we were looking for. We uplit the venue and decorated both sides ceremony and reception, absolutely stunning. perfect venue with such rich history and elegance.

The Hall is exceptionally beautiful. I believe it used to be a bank. Its extremely unique and has some great character to it.
The down side it that the staff and management team are horrible to work with. We booked this hall over a year before our wedding. They changed staff at least 4 times. So when one person tells you something, they get fired and the next person tells you differently. Communication changes all the time due to staff change. The only advise I can give is to get every dam thing in writing. Including all the promises they make over the phone because things change every second.
They also decided to have some renovation work right before our wedding so a small part of the floors were unfinished. we were disappointed in them. We didn’t get any compensation for that. when we signed the contract the floors were all done. They didn’t mention that they’ll be renovating and giving us unfinished floors. The only thing we got was that they’ll make the floors safe for our guests and that was about it.
They also took out $ 150 from our $ 1000 security deposit. And there was no reason for that. They pretty much cheated us so keep it in mind that you many not get you complete deposit back because they charge for nothing. They claimed we didnt put back some chairs and table. However, when our vendors came it, they didnt even have the chairs and table placed and ready for them to setup.
The AC is not central air so you want to be careful when reserving this hall. A summer wedding here would be painful. We had our wedding in October so the weather wasn’t too horrible. We had to tell them to turn on the air the night before the event so that the hall is cool by our event. It can get pretty hot in this venue since its an older venue. They even told us that we can rent additional AC’s which is ridiculous considering the amount you pay to rent the hall.
This would have been a wonderful place if they had better staff and management.

My team and I produced the 2^nd installment of #PowerBrunchLA series powered by Cadillac here on 7÷20÷2014. Majestic Downtown was the perfect setting for the occasion.

It was truly a pleasure working with both Rowena and Therese who are on site coordinators of the venue. They both made the planning process for this event very smooth. I highly recommend this space if you are seeking stunning architecture and historical charm.
This is one of the best downtown locations in LA for large groups. They allow you to bring in your own catering and have very minimal vendor restrictions/​requirements.

We had our wedding reception at the Majestic Downtown this past June. The venue is stunning, and Rowena is a pleasure to work with. Silver Service catering wasn’t bad as far as wedding catering goes, but the food was definitely better in the tasting than at the actual event. A word to the wise, the venue gets quite warm (despite the visible A/​C units throughout the space). The Mezzanine gets especially hot, so I would definitely look into bringing in A/​C. Make sure to inquire about the «vault» for additional photo ops.

Our organization recently used this venue for our annual fundraiser and it was a HUGE success! The space is absolutely gorgeous and so unique. There is just so much you can do with it. The location is right in the heart of Downtown LA. They were very helpful with anything we needed during the planning process and very easy to work with. Our guests were calling us the next day and week to tell us what a beautiful event it was and how much fun they had. We will definitely be back to use The Vault for future events!
