The best wedding of my life. I when to Jose Luis and Katheelen Nazar wedding at houdini state was magical.Camels mermaids dancers beautiful flowers all around the property. Amazing homemade ice cream loved entertainment but more than anything t...
he venue is fabulous it’s so many beautiful spots and that place the energy is magical. I will do my wedding there is the most beautiful place to have a beautiful celebration of birthday
I had such an amazing time celebrating my friend Brooke Lewis and Mark Bellas' wedding at The Houdini Estate.
Ok. This venue is beautiful and amazing. You feel like you’re in an Italian Villa somewhere not in the middle of LA. Here are the issues:
1) they canceled my rehearsal 2 days before because they booked a last minute event. I booked them a year...
in advance and they canceled my rehearsals 2 days before!
2) load in day of- the previous party was supposed to be our by 11am. They weren’t no out until 12:30pm. Since there’s only one way in and one way out my rental company couldn’t get in to unload. They charged me for waiting, not to mention my wedding was running over an hour behind. Lori- the venue person passed me off to the other event coordinator to get reimbursed instead of taking it out of her deposit.
3) load in is a pain in the ass.
While 3 levels are beautiful, they are not great when you are an hour and a half behind and have to dolly and carry everything either down a ramp, or up a flight of stairs. You need MANY able bodies to help do this
All in all the venue is gorgeous but difficult to navigate when on a time crunch for same day load in. If you have the money book the venue for 2 days so you can set up the day before.

Hi, Camila,
It sincerely grieves me to hear that your wedding wasn’t absolutely picture perfect. I have devoted my professional life as an event planner to ensuring that all of my brides and grooms have the time of their lives, whether I am th...
eir planner or not.
However, while it is true that my rental company ran very late loading out, I personally made certain that your vendors installed without interruption. Your rental company arrived half an hour early, installed your items, but was not able to turn their truck around due your luxury flush delivery being on one side of the rental truck and the ice company truck on the other. When I departed at 1:50 pm, your reception was set, your self-contained BBQ caterer was installed in the temporary kitchen, your ceremony chairs were set, and you were knee deep in photos.
The owners of the Estate have no control over outside vendors; so, they should not be held responsible in any way. If you feel my rental company was completely at fault, they have a loss prevention department that you can contact.
Maybe you will find it in your heart not to punish The Houdini Estate and will restore the five stars it deserves. They want to make you happy. I’m told that you can have a whole day of photography or leisure at the property at a convenient time at no charge.
I wish you only the very best.

The venue is absolutely beautiful! Picture perfect!! The fact that you get to stay at the Estate for 2 nights (or more if you want to pay extra-I wish we would have) during the wedding was amazing. It took a lot of stress away from our famil...
ies who stayed there with us. Unfortunately the venue is lacking in communication. Emails would go unanswered for weeks, there were a few times they forgot our wedding date and needed to be reminded. The communication with the estate management was one of the biggest stressors during our entire wedding process, but once we got there, everything was a-ok!
Response from the Vendor on 02/21/2019
We’re delighted that Dusty H enjoyed his stay at the Houdini Estate since I undertook considerable effort making sure that he and his guests were happy there. However, I’m sad that he felt there was a communication problem. Unfortunately, after...
Dusty reserved Houdini, we unexpectedly lost the representative who had booked him along with much of the information she had about reservations. We’ve since put backup plans into effect. In addition, Dusty changed the date of his wedding. We also found ourselves communicating with quite a few representatives from his side since he told us he might be unavailable occasionally. Adding to the situation was the highly frustrating period when we suffered problems with our company e-mail system as our IT guru tried to figure out why some outside e-mails were being flagged as spam or not getting through at all. We tried to keep in touch with all our clients as best we could. We apologize to Dusty for any annoyance. It grieves us because we truly want to make our tenants’ stay at the Houdini Estate as wonderful as the property itself.
— Lori S
We threw my 50th birthday there and everyone loved it. The atmosphere is both warm and fantastic. What a special and beautiful evening. We can’t recommend it enough. A perfect little bit of Hollywood mixed with magic and beauty. A unique experi...
ence that you, your family and friends will never forget.
