The staff at Tiato executed our vision FLAWLESSLY. We live 5 blocks from this venue and had no idea it existed until we did our initial online search (thank you the Knot!) My mothe...
r is confined to a wheelchair so I wanted something local that wouldn't be a hassle to navigate her around (after all, a wedding really is for the mother of the bride!) Our event coordinator, Taylor, walked us through how the wedding would flow, and provided samples of previous wedding layouts in our first meeting. She also offered a lot of advice based on past experience as we started picking our other vendors. As the big day approached, we were anxious that something might go wrong or get overlooked, but it turns out that we had no reason to worry. On the day of the wedding Taylor and her staff handled and managed multiple rental companies, our specific place settings for each guest, custom signage, flipping the layout to maximize our use of the space, and a million other details that we were glad to not have to track ourselves. The food was also delicious and the drink selections were excellent. The space worked great for our 150 or so guests, and the whole venue is very photogenic. Parking is plentiful in the attached underground garage. A very hassle free experience!
I'm so happy we found this hidden gem in Santa Monica. I can't thank Tiato enough for the outstanding service they provided for our wedding. The venue itself has a charming, modern...
yet rustic feel. The outdoor garden was perfect for the ceremony and dinner. There is a large fire pit outside for a s'mores bar and indoor space has a very large bar! Overall, the space is the perfect size for weddings of any size. Phillip & Tara worked with us to create the event that we had envisioned within our budget. They were extremely professional and wonderful to work with. The venue is becoming increasingly popular, so book early!
I’m SO happy we had our wedding ceremony and reception at Tiato.
We hired Joe and Phil at Tiato to be our Day of Coordinators, and they did an amazing job! The venue itself is alr...
eady beautiful, so we needed minimal décor to make the event shine. Tiato staff was also very detail oriented and added many finishing touches to our wedding using their own décor. Joe was very attentive during the wedding, and made sure my husband and I were always taken care of.
The food was also VERY good! We did a buffet style dinner with the sole, braised beef, and garlic noodles and everyone loved it! They even had fire pits for s’mores, which my guests were very excited about!
There is something great to say about a venue that can do it all and you do not have to worry about anything. Food, flowers, waiters, bartenders, security, parking, everything.......
No hidden fees nor irrational requests from them. Simple and transparent!
We were set on getting married in our church in Santa Monica (St. Monica) which meant we had a narrow selection of reception venues to choose from within the proximity - mainly uni...
nteresting hotel ballrooms which are also very expensive. We were pleasantly surprised when Tiato came our way by recommendation of another engaged friend's wedding coordinator (who we also ended up hiring).
We fell in love with Tiato after stepping foot in their beautiful urban garden but it was the food and staff that was really the icing on the cake for us. The event space is indoor/outdoor with a gorgeous Napa-esque bar inside. The outdoor space has a beautiful contained garden with succulent walls, market lights and a gorgeous tree with hanging lanterns, which provided the backdrop for our first dance.
Our must haves for our reception were hip space already well-decorated and awesome food as we would consider ourselves to be foodies! Tiato not only met all of our must haves but also was an incredible value - great quality for the price - and was a joy to work with all the way through.
Tiato is owned by the family who owns Crustacean in Beverly Hills as well as An Catering, both hot food spots for dining and catering in LA so I knew the food would be to die for before we did our tasting. Our tasting was a culinary journey...Hannah An, joined Alyssa to help us with our tasting and was able to help us craft the best pairings and walk us through all of the food and customization options. They also were inventive with our cocktails.
Our guests raved not only about how beautiful our wedding was but how insane the food was. The taste and the presentation were both amazing. Our main contact was Alyssa Torma who is a total darling - efficient, responsive, and professional - all the things you would want in a catering coordinator. Every member of the Tiato staff was kind, professional, fun...I could go on. We were so pleased with our reception choice - the day went on without a hitch!
