SmogShoppe, a former smog-check facility from the 1980s, is now a 6,500 square foot indoor/outdoor event space powered entirely by solar energy and a paradise for desert plants, vertical gardens, and sophisticated vintage furnishings. Live concerts, private events, courtyard weddings, receptions, exhibitions, and productions can all be held in the combined indoor and external areas. The floor plan of the venue can accommodate 250 people for live events and cocktail parties, 150 people for garden performances and ceremonies, and 150 people for formal sit-down dinners. SmogShoppe is conveniently located in the middle of the Culver City art/design district, just minutes from Santa Monica, LAX, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Downtown Los Angeles, and is easily accessible from the 10 highway. The vast courtyard area of SmogShoppe is a calm break and a pleasant surprise for visitors. It's a green paradise in the heart of Los Angeles, encircled by garden walls that cover nearly 2,000 square feet. The Grand Hall features 15-foot ceilings and 18-foot glass rollup doors. The SmogShoppe in Los Angeles boasts a 20-foot digital cinema screen, as well as a mixing board, sound system, and lighting equipment that are excellent for live performances, film screenings, wrap parties, DJs, and VJs. Crow’s Nest is a private dressing room with a panoramic view of the city. The ideal retreat for musicians, weddings, grooms, VIPs, and hosts. SmogShoppe is one of Los Angeles' and the United States' most environmentally friendly urban locations. The room meets or exceeds virtually all of the requirements for LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council in nearly every category. By repurposing almost 80% of the existing structure, the impact of demolition and construction was reduced. 90% of the building materials were either Green certified or upcycled and/or locally made. From the demolition, salvaged metal and wood were scrapped and used to build the furniture.

Millwick is a fantastic event and wedding location that can accommodate up to 175 guests for live performances, ceremonies, and receptions. Millwick is conveniently located in the center of the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles, close to many of the city's top new and old hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. Millwick's calm urban sanctuary, a courtyard encircled by mature trees, drought tolerant planting, 20ft brick walls, and lush vertical gardens, is revealed through a discreet, modest garden entry that leads guests down a winding exposed aggregate path. Two enormous glass roll-up doors connect this outside garden to the grand hall. The courtyard is illuminated by energy-efficient lights and the stars of Los Angeles at night. Millwick's Grand Hall runs adjacent to its Garden Courtyard and is reached by two colossal glass rollup doors. Parts of the inside floors have been removed and replaced with unique specimens, creating an urban jungle feel. Soaring wooden bowstring truss ceilings frame nine huge skylights that hover 20 feet aloft. The exposed brick walls' 80-year-old patina has been kept, and it complements Tony Brown's series of wholly unique, hand-made gold ceramic tile walls. Millwick boasts a 25-foot digital cinema screen, as well as a hidden sound system, central mixing booth, and lighting system, all of which are perfect for live performances, film screenings, wrap parties, DJs, VJs, and ambient backgrounds.
