Worth every penny! Everyone who attended our wedding was blown away by the venue. All of our pictures look amazing. And THE FOOD - literally the best I have ever had at a wedding. ...
Plus the bar was fantastic and our signature drinks were so good! Overall an amazing experience!
I can't express how much we and our guests LOVED this venue! Everyone kept talking about how beautiful and cool the space was and many of our guests loved taking pics of themselves...
with the décor. Besides being beautiful and completely unique, the catering was AMAZING. So many food options and they were all so tasty. Sherri and Scarlett were so helpful answering all of our questions. This truly was the perfect wedding venue!
I will start with the positive (and the only reason this is not a 1-star review): The Carondelet House is a stunning and truly unique venue, and I am so happy I had my wedding ther...
e, despite the difficulties along the way. It is such a special space, your guests will love it, and you will get beautiful photos. The day-of staff did an excellent job. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the servers and bartenders. This would hands down be a 5-star review if it were only based off the wedding day.
However, the journey to our wedding day was anything but positive. In the year leading up to our wedding, our contact points at Carondelet were Sherri and Trina. Particularly in the 6 months leading up to the wedding, I would often reach out with questions. I rarely received a response without sending 3-4 emails begging them to respond.
When we got closer to the wedding, there were certain details that needed to be sorted out before I could determine the balance of the payment that was due 2 months prior to the wedding. After many unanswered emails, I eventually called Sherri and explained that I was very unhappy with the unresponsiveness. She apologize profusely and agreed that it was unacceptable. She was responsive for a few days and then went silent again. I gave up and stopped reaching out. I did not hear from them at all, despite my wedding being in 2 weeks at this point. Then, I find out from my planner (NOT the venue) that both Sherri and Trina had been fired, with less than 2 weeks to my wedding. This was obviously an incredibly stressful thing to learn, and the fact that the venue did not reach out to me to explain the situation and ease my worries is still something that shocks me. Thankfully, our planner pulled everything together for us, but the only time someone contacted my from the venue was to collect that payment that I had tried to pay 2 months prior. They contacted me so late about it that I was forced to pay the fee to wire money instead of being able to send a personal check, when it was 100% their fault that I had not paid sooner.
Given that this is an expensive venue, we expected far better customer service. The experience we had leading up to the wedding day was truly unacceptable. However, like I said, this venue is gorgeous and the experience on the day of was great. Maybe they are getting things figured out not, but it seems that switching teams and unresponsiveness is a general problem based on other reviews.
tl;dr: A beautiful day, but a terrible experience getting there.
We fell in love with this venue before even taking a tour. Such a gem. Trina and Sherri were incredibly accommodating and professional. I had daily questions at times and I felt co...
mpletely taken care of. It was nerve racking to plan everything but knowing that they took care of the food, drinks, ceremony and that incredible room flip to the reception. Everyone was amazing at how quickly they turned the ceremony to a beautiful dinner space. I could not have been happier with their service. They were attentive. What else can I say….I was just overjoyed. We wanted our guest to experience love, an intimate romantic setting and best of all delicious food. Their chef is incredible.
Incredible team - venue - food - design - etc. If you want a beautiful venue that makes your wedding day super smooth I couldn't recommend Carondelet more. For what you are receivi...

Carondelet House was an absolutely magical venue for our small, intimate wedding. We adored that it was inclusive of tableware and furniture, and Sherri and Trina were incredibly r...
esponsive and helpful throughout our entire planning period. Do not be afraid to double tap their emails if you have a question! They will always admit if something got buried or missed and they are incredibly clear and prompt on scheduling. The entire staff was top notch and made our entire wedding a dream both in prep and day of!
What a dream venue! The Carondelet was on our top LA venues when we were first looking at where to get married after our engagement, and it lived up to every expectation. The venue...
is so gorgeous that you won’t need too much decor, and it absolutely glows at night, especially with candlelight! There are so many nooks and crannies for people to go to take a break from the noise and dancing if they need to. And the food! All of our guests were raving about the appetizers and dinner, and with good reason. The food from Tres LA was absolutely delicious and we were so glad that we had the chance to enjoy some of it! To top it all off, all of the staff, especially Sherri and Ambyr, were incredibly sweet and accommodating. At the end of the night, one of us needed a cup of tea to settle a bit of a headache. Even though the kitchen was closed, a couple of the venue workers still found some hot water and a peppermint tea bag - they were so kind and lovely! Thank you for making our wedding so special.
We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding! Truly! After TWO years of stressful pandemic planning and things falling through, we finally found Carondelet House and ...
it was like everything finally fell into place. Sherri and Ambyr took such good care of us, and not just with the venue but also with amazing catering (Tres LA) and bar (Sweetwater Cocktails). Not only were we so happy with how the day turned out, but the space is so beautiful that we have the absolute most gorgeous wedding album (the bridal suite is to die for!).
Could not recommend this place or their team enough.
Beautiful venue. If you're looking for an absolutely gorgeous venue that will wow your guests.... this is it. I've dreamt of getting married here for almost 10 years.
Pros:
- Stu...
nning venue, where you do not have to buy any decorations except for linens & flowers.
- The bridal suite: FANTASTIC. It was such a fun place to get ready and take photos. (It did get hot, but with so many people that's bound to happen)
- The staff is attentive. My husband and I always had drinks in our hands and were served food & apps first.
- The bar staff was great, and made really good drinks.
- Audio set up throughout the venue was perfect.
Cons:
- They switched production & sales managers three different times in my 10 months of planning, so that caused a bit of confusion.
- We also had a very clear plan of what we wanted to do with our table organizing, and when we booked, the first set of people we worked with told us that we would be able to do so. Unfortunately, when we got to the third set of people we were told there was absolutely no way to do that. I was pretty heartbroken.
- There were a lot of hidden fees, which is pretty common in wedding planning, but still frustrating.
- You also had to spend an exuberant amount of $$ to buy out the catering company, so that wasn't cool. The company is known mostly for their food, and it didn't rock the house. Fish was undercooked for all the guests, including my own. We also paid extra for prime rib, and the amount our guests received left a lot of them hungry. You also do not get to have a tasting of your exact food unless you pay $500.
- You do not find out if you can have a rehearsal at the venue until 2 weeks before, and with such a unique set up it's really important to have a rehearsal for your bridal party.
be prepared to shell out a lot of tip money, because they have a HUGE staff for the wedding day. (2 captains, 2 bartenders, 11 servers, 1 chef, 5 cooks... we had a 86 person wedding)
My fiance and I immediately fell in love with Carondelet when we walked through the doors for our tour. The atmosphere that has been created; is a perfect mix of old school, while ...
still feeling hip. It's almost as if you forget where you are when you're inside. The venue is kept up impeccably and all the decorative touches adds so much charm without having to bring in a ton of decorations or florals. We had 60 guests and were able to make every part of our ceremony and reception feel intimate, but also like we had filled the place with people. It was a perfect balance of the two. Our guests LOVED the vibe of the venue, all the nooks and crannies they could enjoy throughout the evening (hello, fireplace and courtyards!), and couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful it was!
To top it off, throughout our entire planning process, we couldn't have asked for a better point of contact than Francesca. She went above and beyond, helping us with all our random questions and countless proposal changes. She is a delight to work with and makes Carondelet an even better place! On the day of, Jeff and the rest of the Carondelet/Tres LA team was fantastic, as well. They worked so well with our planner and all our vendors and made it so I didn't have to think about a thing... other than getting married!
Thank you, Carondelet House (and Francesca & Jeff) for being the perfect wedding venue!
Are you looking for a beautiful, unique venue for your wedding? Look no further than Carondelet House! This venue is one of the most special places you will come across. Each room ...
has special and unique details that you can enhance with your own decor. And the dining room presents a beautiful blank canvas perfect for dinner and/or a wedding ceremony. The food provided by Tres LA is outstanding and their menu is so extensive that there is something for everyone. The sales team at Carondelet is outstanding. They are quick to answer questions adn provide impeccable service to all couples. We received so many compliments from guests on the food, the atmosphere and the service at our reception. Our wedding was truly a magical day because of Carondelet House.
Carondelet House is as the most magical place to have our wedding. The beautiful exposed brick walls and interesting artwork all around were a huge hit to all our guests (and us!)...
The staff was accommodating in the whole process from booking our date and keeping us informed along the way. Their professionalism on our wedding day was hard not to notice, they made sure everything went where it was suppose to, communicated with our other vendors and all worked together smoothly. We love Carondelet House and can’t wait to visit again soon!
My husband and I got married at Carondelet House on April 7th. We would highly recommend Carondelet House and Tres LA for weddings and events.
Our wedding was gorgeous and better...
than we could have ever imagined. The whole day felt like a dream. We received many "best wedding ever" comments from friends and family.
Francesca Yaniz and Alex Abrahamian were incredible to work with. Both were hard working, professional, and responsive. The entire Carondelet House and Tres LA team did a great job executing the event. High recommended!
If you want a smaller place with a vintage vibe, this is it! Everyone was a pleasure to work with and the wedding went so smoothly. Their catering partner, Tres LA was delicious, a...
nd the drinks were raved about all night! I cannot recommend this place enough!
The minute we walked into Carondelet, we knew this was where we would get married. There's simply no other venue like this, especially in Los Angeles. Each room is filled with so m...
uch character and it does feel like you're in in a private residence as opposed to a wedding venue (just the vibe we were looking for). On top of the perfect location, the service from everyone is really top-notch. We dealt mainly with Crystal, who answered emails (and there were lots of them) quickly and pleasantly and was happy to customize anything and everything. Their onsite manager, Alex is also fantastic and made the day-of and rehearsal absolutely seamless for us. We also went with their in-house caterer, Tres L.A. Be prepared: it will be hands-down the best meal of your life. Everyone is still raving about the food and service. Honestly, the wedding was everything I dreamed of and it was because of booking Carondelet as our venue.
Carondelet was the perfect venue for us. It's unique and gorgeous. Alex made us feel extremely comfortable and well taken care of the entire night. Would highly recommend it!
Of all the vendors we booked, I was most excited about Carondelet House. It was just perfect for the laid-back, cocktail party vibe we were going for, while still being oh-so-eleg...
ant. It didn't take me long to realize there was no where else like it, and so we squeezed our guest list and reallocated our budget to make it work.
The space was, of course, breathtakingly beautiful. If you want a wedding venue that will be remembered -- one that will stand out against all the run-to-the-mill ballrooms with square dance floors, this is your place. Trust me on this one.
The service staff on the day were nothing short of stupendous. Their service blew me away, and I couldn't ask for more friendly, attentive staff. I cannot stress enough how impressed I was by them. The Service score would be off the charts if it were just based on April 6th.
Getting to the wedding day was a little bit more of a challenge. I often felt as though we were expected to know what we were doing, as if we had done this before. Perhaps it is because they typically deal with Coordinators, but we didn't have one and were doing it on our own. There seemed to be a general lack of patience from Lara to our questions, and though she was always professional, I never looked forward to having to contact her. Their contract also has a little bit of a "nickle and dime" feel to it -- be sure to total up all the little fees and charges if your budget is tight (there are a lot of them!).
If you love the space (and you should), go for it. Your day will be perfect and you won't remember the uphill trek it sometimes took to get there.
Lara and the rest of the staff at the Carondelet House made my wedding dream come to life! They were wonderful! They are so on top of everything. They do charge for a door man, wh...
o let a few people who weren't on the list inside the venue. But It all worked out! Other than that, I couldn't love them any more! They are truly terrific.
