Grass Room DTLA Wedding in Los Angeles | Colorful, Tropical, and Fun

There’s something about Grass Room that instantly feels alive. Between the soaring skylights, layers of plants, eclectic textures, and the iconic whale mural, it’s one of the most vibrant wedding venues in Downtown Los Angeles. For Sarah and Dan, it was the perfect setting for a wedding that felt colorful, tropical-lite, and full of joy.

As Los Angeles wedding photographers, we’re always drawn to spaces that already have personality built in, venues that invite couples to loosen up and lean into what feels true to them. Grass Room does exactly that.

Why Couples Love Grass Room in DTLA

Grass Room isn’t a traditional wedding venue. It’s a converted warehouse layered with greenery, art-deco tile, bold textures, and unexpected details tucked into every corner. The balance of urban DTLA grit and greenhouse-like warmth makes it a favorite for couples who want something relaxed, creative, and visually rich.

The space feels dynamic without being overwhelming, which makes it ideal for candid moments, movement, and real connection throughout the day.

A Tropical-Lite Wedding with Bold Color

Sarah and Dan described their wedding vibe as tropical-lite, lush without feeling overdone, colorful but still grounded. Florals by Little Branch added texture and warmth, while playful design choices carried that energy through every part of the celebration.

With planning by So Smitten Events, music from Second Song, makeup by Kelly Zhang Studio, and catering by Fundamental, the day flowed effortlessly from start to finish.

Sarah + Dan

Sarah and Dan’s connection set the tone for the entire day. Easy, warm, and full of energy, they created a space where guests felt comfortable being fully present. Their first dance to That’s How Strong My Love Is by Otis Redding was timeless and soulful, one of those moments that quietly grounds the room before the party continues.

Rather than focusing on rigid traditions, the day unfolded naturally, filled with laughter, color, and moments that felt genuinely lived-in.

Photographing Weddings at Grass Room

Grass Room is ideal for couples who want their wedding to feel vibrant and unforced. The light shifts beautifully throughout the day, the textures add depth without distraction, and the layout encourages guests to mingle and move.

Our focus throughout the day was on capturing candid interactions, joy in motion, and the personality of both the couple and the space itself.

Millwick Wedding, Arts District

The amazing coordinator and Millwick site managers rescued a weak hummingbird from inside the venue and nursed it back to life until it was strong enough to fly off on its own. So sweet. There’s a photo of the little guy below. <3

Millwick Wedding | Elegant Tiki Celebration in Los Angeles Arts District

We’re more behind-the-camera than behind-the-keyboard people, so we let AI help us put some words together for this one:

No venue in Los Angeles strike the balance between urban edge and lush escape quite like Millwick in the Arts District. With its tropical greenery, mid-century touches, and modern open space, it’s no wonder it has become one of our favorite wedding venues in Los Angeles.

For Vivi + Ninh, Millwick set the stage for an elegant tiki-inspired celebration—a night that blended playful design, great food, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Millwick is known for its tropical, garden-meets-urban aesthetic. The towering plants, clean architectural lines, and natural light make it an ideal setting for couples.

One of our fav moments, the Marvimon site managers and the wedding coordinator rescued a weak hummingbird that had flown into the venue. They nurtured it carefully until it regained its strength and eventually flew back into the Los Angeles sky. That little story feels symbolic of what Millwick does best—creating a space where beauty, care, and magic happen all at once.

Vivi + Ninh envisioned their wedding as a stylish, modern spin on a tiki party—elevated design, warm hospitality, and a guest list of about 120–130 loved ones. The result was festive yet refined: a space filled with laughter, energy, and an atmosphere that encouraged everyone to truly enjoy the night.
