A Dream Wedding

We couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to have our wedding at the Skirball Cultural Center! From start to finish, everything about our experience was exceptional, and it truly made our day feel like a dream come true.
First and foremost, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. The Skirball's unique combination of modern elegance and natural beauty provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The architecture and scenic views, paired with the gorgeous outdoor space, made for breathtaking photos and a magical atmosphere.
A huge thank you to the amazing event staff, especially Monica, who went above and beyond to help us plan and execute our vision. Monica's attention to detail, calming presence, and expert guidance ensured that every element of our wedding came together seamlessly. We truly felt like we were in capable hands the entire time, and she played a huge role in making our dream wedding a reality.
The service throughout the day was top-notch. While the cocktail hour food service was a bit slower than expected, everything else was fantastic. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, and they made sure we felt taken care of at every turn.
We are so grateful to the entire Skirball team for their hard work, support, and dedication. Our wedding day was absolutely magical, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. If you're looking for a venue that offers both beauty and top-tier service, the Skirball Cultural Center is the place to be!

The venue is gorgeous, the staff were professional, flexible, and patient, and the outcome superseded our expectations in every way. The food was great, the bar service was impeccable, and the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from our guests really highlighted the amazing experience shared by everyone. We cannot recommend this venue any more highly. Give these guys a shot at hosting your next event - you will not regret it!

5/5 Stars - A Truly Unforgettable Wedding Experience!

We are still pinching ourselves after the most incredible wedding celebration at the breathtaking Skirball Cultural Center! Our guests were awestruck by the stunning architecture and beautifully manicured grounds, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. The culinary experience was exceptional, with our guests raving about the delicious food and creative presentation. Standouts included the mouth-watering sushi ("fire" was the consensus!) and the interactive Dim Sum station during cocktail hour - absolute showstoppers!

What truly made our experience shine was working with Monica, our Skirball Coordinator. Her warmth, expertise, and kindness made planning a breeze, offering invaluable guidance and flexibility to bring our vision to life.
One of the Skirball's greatest assets is its versatility, boasting an array of unique spaces and options that allowed us to craft our perfect day. From intimate moments to joyful celebrations, every setting was picture-perfect.

If you're seeking a wedding venue that combines elegance, exceptional service, and culinary excellence, look no further than the Skirball Cultural Center. We feel grateful to have shared our special day with their talented team.
Highly Recommended!
