Nestled in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles' historic Arts District, Valentine DTLA by Wedgewood Weddings is a one-of-a-kind industrial event venue where raw character, preserved architecture, and dramatic beauty converge. Behind a pair of unassuming ocean-blue facades lies 15,000 square feet of distinct, discoverable spaces that together form one of the most versatile and visually stunning event destinations in Los Angeles. Originally constructed in the 1920s as part of LA's seafood market and industrial corridor, these buildings have lived many fascinating lives — serving as a hotel, a fish-and-oyster operation, industrial workspaces, and creative production studios. Each chapter has left its mark, and it is precisely this layered past that gives Valentine DTLA its soul. Reclaimed lumber, steel, original flooring, and salvaged windows were repurposed into ceilings, walls, furniture, and decorative elements — ensuring that history lives on in every surface and detail. The result is a venue of rare and dramatic power — where soaring 35-foot greenhouse roofs flood lush tropical courtyards with natural light, handcrafted wooden tables and hand-stitched Italian leather Arrben chairs set an elevated tone for dining, and site-specific artwork by some of Los Angeles' most compelling artists transforms every room into a living gallery. Connected by a secret passageway, the venue's many environments flow seamlessly from one to the next, creating an event experience that surprises, delights, and invites discovery at every turn. For couples and their wedding parties, two stunning private retreats await. The rose-hued Madonna Suite is a serene sanctuary featuring plush velvet seating, natural light, and patchwork fabric walls. The jewel-toned Grunwald Suite — with plush velvet couches and patchwork fabric walls by Tony Brown, this space offers a verdant, jewel-box refuge for brides, grooms, performers, and VIP guests alike.
