Best Venue!

We had our wedding at SmogShoppe this past August and we are so happy we did! The space is amazing, the Marvimon team aced it, and we had a blast! The Marvimon team is great to work with, they are communicative, understanding, and fun - they do a great job of hyping you up for your event. We're still hearing from our guests about how much they loved the venue and never would have guessed an old automotive shop could become such a beautiful event space. We loved the eclectic look and feel of it all, especially all the greenery! I would recommend leaning into the look of the SmogShoppe, it has a personality all its own. I was worried we would hear traffic the whole time but the high walls really do separate you from the main street and block the sound. They have a great team of recommended vendors that made our lives so much easier, and all of them were the same fun vibe that we were hoping for. Definitely recommend hosting your event with SmogShoppe, and I'm sure the other Marvimon locations are just as great!

This place has everything

SmogShoppe and the team at Marvimon are exceptional! They helped us plan our dream wedding and everything went off without a hitch! They are super responsive over email and are so accommodating of your vision for your wedding. We booked the space the day we saw it; it was exactly what we wanted - super eclectic and vibey, very LA, and indoor/outdoor. We had a non-traditional, cocktail-style wedding with cornhole, a stick-and-poke tattoo artist, a tarot reader, photo booth, and pizza and tacos for dinner with no assigned seating. The layout went through various changes, but the staff at SmogShoppe never told us no, told us exactly what we would need to rent (quantity, type) and were able to answer all of our vendors' questions. The attention to detail and amount of information is unmatched. We used a few of their preferred vendors (MTB Rentals, Jaliscos Tacos) and they were wonderful! The the venue is a 12-hour rental, all furniture included, sound system, temperature controlled, bridal suite/private area, projector screen (we played "Hair" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on mute behind the dance floor), and full industrial kitchen. It's a great deal for the money and Dana, Alex, and Clare are just the cherry on top!

Amazing Venue

The Smogshoppe in Culver City is amazing. The team at Marvimon Productions is awesome. Our wedding was postponed a year because of the pandemic and Marvimon was there with us every step of the way. If you are looking for a fun, hip venue that is central to all of Los Angeles, we highly recommend the Smogshoppe or any of Marvimon's venues. The spaces are all different but able to be arranged and decorated to meet almost any vision. The team is responsive, professional, and caring. Our day was beyond perfect. Thank you.
