B/G/A

Wow. Working with B/​G/​A was a pleasure. I hired them for a fundraising event for my employer, and this review is my personal view. Sometimes when you see a place with only 5 star reviews, it seems to good to be true… but in this case, it is really that amazing to work with the lovely owners of B/​G/​A. Lauren and Marisa were so helpful. They always got back to me right away. They were somehow very laid back, and yet super organized and on top of things at the same time. They listened. They were accommodating. They worked with us and our budget. They put out the proverbial «fires» that accompany any large event with grace. They introduced us to great vendors. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a really cool and unique space with a gorgeous patio. Thank you, B/​G/​A!

Fantastic party venue! Fantastic people to work with! I had my husband’s 50^th birthday party here this summer. We had 100+ guests, live music, tacos, drinks and tons of fun. So many guests complimented us on the space. The inside is bright, airy, and tastefully decorated. The «side room», which can be closed off if you want, provided a great little hangout spot for folks who wanted to talk (away from the music). There is also a wonderful patio out back with a big olive tree which attracted many people too. There are great big doors that can be completely opened to the patio which adds to the openness of it all. It was nice to have the option of being inside and/​or outside. Owners Lauren and Marissa were very thorough, professional and super easy to work with. We had a fun tasting prior to the party to decide on which alcohols to serve as they had many choices and options. We had planned on having more wine drinkers at our event, but that day was very hot and, hence, the beer went really fast. Lauren & Marissa were able to adjust what we had ordered as the night went on without a hitch. We had several different musicians/​bands play that night and it was so fun to have Lauren get up and play a few songs too!

Beautiful, sophisticated, and technically functional space. First I’ll start with the technicals. As a professional caterer myself, I have been to countless venues throughout the greater Los Angeles area and can spot what might be an issue at a party. So when it came time to throw an event for myself I wanted to make sure that the venue would perfect. B/​G/​A hit all the must haves and more. Plenty of outlets (most people don’t realize how many items will need to plugged in for an event), multiple bathrooms for guests, a built in sound system for music, kitchen with fridge and running water (it is the worst and very compromising when a venue doesn’t have this), changing room, outdoor and indoor space, and last but not least very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional staff.
Above all that the space is gorgeous! The interior has a built in bar, skylight, beautiful plants, tasteful and timeless decorating (that still allows you to add your own flare), homey bathrooms (not institutional looking), and space for changing or lounging that could be shut off from the rest of the party or opened up with sliding doors (I used this function to make dramatic entrances with costume changes, ha). The outdoor space flowed with the same tastefulness, with plants, tables, and bench seating. But the absolute best part was that the wall dividing the indoor and out was retractable. The guests really enjoyed having the option to be in either space without feeling shut out from everyone else.
The staff was beyond accommodating, and went above and beyond to create a magical day for me and my guests. With so many moving parts… DJ, band, caterer, rentals, bar, etc, and it all went off without a hitch. I received so many compliments on the execution, selections of beverages, and the staff working the event. It is the best experience I have either professionally or personally to date!
