A Landmark Reimagined for Extraordinary Events Landmark venue. Bespoke experiences. Impeccable service. Built in 1913 by Elmer Grey—architect of the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Pasadena Playhouse—440 Elm is a historic landmark with one of the grandest ballrooms in LA/OC. It offers presence and scale —without the patterned carpet, preset timelines, or shared lobbies of a hotel. Honored with the Long Beach Heritage Award for adaptive reuse and named a Best Ballroom Venue finalist by California Wedding Day, 440 Elm has been reimagined for awards shows, galas, experiences, and off-sites where visual impact and precision are equally non-negotiable. With over 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, the venue accommodates up to 900 standing or 500 seated in the Grand Ballroom, and up to 1,100 guests across the full property. Additional spaces include a black-and-white foyer, an exposed-brick Parlor, and an outdoor Plaza. We collaborate closely with planners, producers, and DMCs to support detailed production from pre-visualization through execution. Layouts are open and adaptable. There’s no exclusive AV—so you have control over your vendor team and budget. We use tools like Timeline Genius and Merri to stay aligned, avoid surprises, and keep creative and logistical decisions on track—with preparation, clarity, and respect for the work it takes to produce something excellent. Owned and operated by Bite Catering Couture—a chef-led, woman-owned team—440 Elm offers a hospitality culture built around creative alignment. Here, food isn’t just service—it’s part of the story. Multi-course plated dinners timed to awards programs. Tasting stations styled as visual centerpieces. Cocktails built around brand palettes. Every program is designed in context: for the guests, for the format, for the moment. And if your sky’s-the-limit theme turns into glowing angels suspended above the crowd—well, so be it. We’ve made room for it in the run of show. (see video below)

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.
