Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles

alked into the hotel after a disappointing visit at a different venue. My fiance immediately fell in love with it and wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was for weeks after. I was afraid that we were not going to be able to afford such a beautiful place but after meeting with the events coordinator, Sari Rose, it slowly started to become a reality! Sari was amazing with us, she helped us fit the wedding package to meet our budget and was beyond kind and helpful. She was incredibly responsive with with any questions that I had and her team made sure to help us have the wedding of our dreams. I loved that everything was included in the wedding package, right down to the wedding cake and a wedding night suite. I even had a "ready room" available to me the entire day of the wedding for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in. The food was absolutely amazing! We received so many compliments on how great everything tasted. The wait staff was also amazing. They were extremely attentive and accommodating - you can tell they put a lot of love and effort into their job. Our cocktail hour was help in the Bernard's room and our dinner and dancing were in the Emerald Ball room. The rooms were so beautiful, they barely needed any decorations! The only decorations I had to purchase were the center pieces! In summary, I loved having my wedding at the Biltmore and couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to compliment my perfect day. My husband and I can't wait to return for our one year anniversary!

e were in good hands. Sari made herself available to us to answer every question that we had and always helped us find the perfect solution. However, nothing could have prepared us for what to expect on our wedding day. Sari and the Biltmore staff made us feel as if we were the only guests in the entire hotel was certainly not the case. In the wedding day frenzy, there was always a host of attentive and gracious hotel staff just an arm's length away to attend to our every need. Sari and the Biltmore staff were with us every step of the way. In fact most of the time, Sari and the Biltmore staff knew what we wanted and needed before we did. In the months since the wedding, every time we see a guest they are still raving about not only the quality of the service but about the quality of the food and drinks. Without fail our guests tell us that the food was absolutely divine and that the drinks were free flowing :-) Universally, they tell us it was the most lavish and excessive wedding that they have ever attended in their life! Thank you, Sari! We could not have done it without you!

the Biltmore had me sold from the very beginning. Not only did she show herself to be exceptionally professional and generous, her overall attitude was just what we needed. Any minor request or detailed suggestion, to simply make our experience better, was delivered. Not one issue with Sari. She was efficient, responsive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She has a background from another large hotel group, which I also met with. Since she joined forces at the Biltmore, WOW my expectations were blown away. She was a breathe of fresh air to work with. She was event present the day of our wedding to make sure everything went well and up to her standards!!! We were so satisfied with her work, I have referred people to her since. Even my wedding planner who's pretty known in the industry was so pleased with her, I think they're working together now :) Sari worked with us in every dept of planning our wedding. She was so hands on, I felt like I needed to pay her extra just for her good will because I'm not used to this type of behavior. She worked side by side with all my vendors, met with our caterer, worked with my planner and florist, assisted in the smallest things that from the outside may not be noticed but let me tell you, THEY MATTER. If it weren't for Sari, my experience would have been completely different. It's possible we might have even gone with a different venue to be honest. She even called my cell a couple weeks after the wedding to follow up, see how I was doing, if all went well, if there was anything I needed, etc...I have to send her a gift in the mail for everything. Whoever is considering to use the Biltmore, I STRONGLY encourage you to speak with Sari. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

answering our questions or promptly returning emails. I highly recommend for any glamorous affair.

otel room was nice but not that clean and a bit worn. I wouldn't go necessarily go with the recommended vendors. Some weren't that good and you do have a choice. The main contact for the venue (Sari) is nice until you sign the contract then - is nearly impossible to get ahold of. I practically had to stalk her to get answers - If you don't go with a recommended wedding planner then she will make your life difficult but if you do then she will scheme with them to recommend things that are not needed and overcharge you on everything - did not submit my final seating chart so my wedding planner had to do damage control and find my guests places to sit at different tables - I requested well done steak and it was rare and slightly bloody - told me linens were always included then closer to the wedding date asked where I would be getting linens and tried to charge me more for them - did not tell me the hotel booked a Football party and sports team mascots would be walking up and down the beautiful hallway and T-shirt vendors would set up in the hallway so when I arrived in the morning for my wedding I was shocked, embarrassed and of course never got my beautiful photos in the hallway because it looked like Venice beach - T-shirt vendor set up in front of the coat check that I paid for so after ringing her phone off the hook and calling her boss she offered a portable metal coat rack rather than moving the T-shirt vendor - My fiancé did manage to get her boss (not her) to agree to set up tall plants along the edges of the T-shirt vendors booths to hide the tackiness of the booths, but again this was not something we needed to deal with on our wedding day and it was very stressful. We were disappointed by the way we were treated. They had our money at that point and I guess that is all that mattered to her.

l, but the decor on the club level is very nice. The junior suite, was very spacious (and boy, did we use ALL of the space!), but the decor was a little dated. There were also issues with cleanliness in the room - there was some sort of mystery spill on the bed skirt that was very obvious. (I stayed at the hotel about a week later for an event in a club level king room and it had a similar bed skirt stain, maybe they’re difficult to remove and clean, but a little spot cleaning would have probably done the trick.) The room was also not serviced the day of the wedding and we came back to no towels and a messy room on the wedding night, so that wasn’t fun. But...the worst/funniest/grossest thing that happened was when I was sorting out all my stuff the day before the wedding I was in the living room and my foot brushed under the sofa. I felt something with my bare foot (I thought it was something I had dropped) and I flicked it out. It was something white and shiny. I bent down to pick it up and it was a dental implant. I screamed and dropped it on the glass top or the coffee table in the room. It soared onto the floor across the room. I got a tissue, picked it up, and called the front desk to get it/them. I laughed a lot in a state of shock. I decided someone probably had a really bad night in the suite or a really awesome one. Either way they lost their teeth and I got a fun story. I still love the Biltmore, but I don’t know if I want to stay the night any time soon.

is gourgous and any of the banquet rooms would be a great pick for your wedding. I had mine in the gold room. Not to mention all the beautiful places to take photos.I really can't say enough great things about the staff, they were wonderful!

and my glass of champagne was never empty. He was very professional and went above and beyond for the weren't party and our guest. They exceeded my expectations!!!

princess. There is so much history. It is hard to find such a beautifully decorated and built hotel that encompasses a regal, elegant and classy theme.

probably see the other brides having events in the other rooms. Also tourists tend to get in the pictures!
