Altar

The Altar handled our bar/bartending, furniture, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and rehearsal, and overall, the process was incredibly positive and stress free. The staff were kind and worked with us and our deadlines. And the space itself is utterly gorgeous. My husband & I live in LA and had some hesitations about going all the way to Long Beach for the wedding -- but it was so worth it for this space.

We got married at Altar on 10/12/24 and had THE BEST experience. We fell in love with Altar from first viewing the beautiful space in March 2023, and Calli (Event Manager) took incredible care of us. The space is stunning (brick, loft, chandeliers, wood beams) and spacious (we had about 155 guests). We had our ceremony and dinner + reception in the main area on the 2nd floor, which is huge and also features a spacious bar + lounge. Cocktail hour was on the 3rd floor, which gave time and privacy to flip the 2nd floor for dinner. And our after party was downstairs in the first floor brewery. The staff was professional and everything ran smoothly on the day. The planning process was also great and I found that Calli would usually respond to my emails at least within 48 hours, which I appreciated given how busy she must be. The venue does not have in-house catering but does have preferred caterers. We ended up not using any of their options so we had to pay an extra fee, but Calli and the Altar staff went out of their way to work well with our chosen caterer. Altar also provided the full bar service and bar staff. We were able to have beer on tap which was awesome. Overall the experience was incredible and we walked away from our wedding day with incredibly fond memories of our venue. Thank you Calli + Altar <3
