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!

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! -

Responsive, transparent, and fun! My wife and I had the best time booking this location. The first place we were acknowledged as a couple and not just a pair of friends, that speaks volumes about the kind of people who work here! We couldn't have asked for a more magical location to share our love for each other. A hidden gem and a speakeasy feel as well. After touring so many locations thank you Smogshoppe for being that breath of fresh air.
Customization of the vendors made for a very appealing booking. This venue has so much character and charm that very little decor was needed (other than some personal touches) to make it feel like magic.
If you are looking for a unique space with amazing staff (shout out to Dana!) and a loving atmosphere look no further. Our guests had the best time and had the best things to say about this little secret garden. Great times, photos, and the perfect backdrop to any event. -

As soon as my fiance walked into the venue we knew in a matter of minutes this is where we wanted our reception. The decor, the location, the open space fit right into our dream. We have been fortunate that this venue conducts regular open houses around every 6-8 weeks. This gives my fiance and I multiple chances to revisit our venue before our big day. The service from this venue has been impeccable so far and we cannot wait for all of our loved ones to see how great it is on our big day! -

The moment we met Dana in person we felt so well taken care of! She is amazing at what she does! She has an easy-going personality and made us feel very re-assured. She has so much knowledge and helped us fill in the gaps with ideas that we would not have even thought of! We couldn't ask for a better wedding experience and we are so glad we booked with Smog Shoppe! This beautiful and dreamy urban space will forever be a part of the incredible memories of our wedding day! Thank you! -

User2111911 Sent on 04/28/2015Smogshoppe is such a unique and beautiful space, unlike any wedding venue we've ever seen. It's living walls and eclectic decor are amazing and require very little, if any additional decoration. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. The staff was friendly as was very accommodating to making last minute arrangement changes when we had guests cancel and needed to rearrange the setup. The one criticism I have is, your contract has a total, but the total isn't exactly the total. There's additional costs that get tacked on later for parking, valet and other equipment that you have to pay for regardless because they mention them in the contract but it feels like it should just be baked into the overall cost. I'd rather write just one check.
