Studio 1342

I was the day-​of coordinator for a wedding that was held here on New Year’s Eve. Jeremy and the rest of the venue staff were so wonderful and easy to work with — Jeremy made himself available throughout the entire time we were there, in case anything came up.
The bride loved the versatility of the venue and you can really transform the space into your own. We were allowed to bring in our décor and rehearse the night before the wedding, which was so helpful.
If you’re looking for a versatile, unique, stylish, accommodating venue, check out Studio 1342.

If anyone is looking for a custom event tailored just to you, than look no further than 1342! We had an awesome experience at our wedding and would highly recommend to all! Check out pics in our photo blog!

I got married at studio 1342 in Los Angeles in April and I had 150 guests. I have
been a wedding photographer for 5 years and shot over 150 weddings. I’ve seen it
all, from country clubs, to barn wedding, to fancy hotel, you name it. I wanted
something fun, intimate and unique and also close by. When I checked out Studio
1342, I knew I love it. Every wall is different and colorful, the venue has great light,
the bar area is fun and unique and the reception area is industrial and different. I
didn’t have to decorate the space at all. Jessica was amazing to work with. She
always got back to me promptly with my thousands of questions. Brett was our day
of venue manager and he was amazing too. He helped out with our instagram
slideshow, made sure the guests were happy and even stayed late to clean up. What
a guy. My guests are still talking about how they loved the venue because the space
always felt full and lively. I highly recommend using this space for your wedding.

FYI this place is closing its doors on 12÷31÷15. Don’t waste your time if you’re planning an event in 2016.

As a professional in the wedding industry I have experience with all types of event venues and have to say that Studio 1342 was amazing. Brett was very professional and accomodating, he went above and beyond, and worked with me to resolve an issue at the end of the night which took time away from his personal commitments. It was so refreshing for the person in charge of a venue to go out of there way to simply help out a fellow vendor. What I have found with a lot of event venue managers is that they just don’t care about other vendors, they are simply there doing a job and can care less about their reputation. So to sum it up, if you are looking for an amazing «urban style» venue for your event, you are sure to be in good hands with Brett at Studio 1342.

We looked at a LOT of wedding venues. A LOT. This, by far was the most accommodating venue and they really cut out a lot of the BS (like stupid, annoying hidden fees) that other venues have hidden in contracts. The staff were friendly and straightforward and took a lot of stress out of planning a big event.
You will be well taken care of with this venue– Jess is very prompt with her responses and will bend over backwards to make sure you feel like your day will be a success. As a bride on a budget, I was so nervous to book a venue, but Studio 1342 put my mind at ease.
The venue itself has a quirky charm and the event space is very versatile. You have several nooks where you can have a ceremony and reception so it’s a customizable space that you can make your own. They even have an outdoor projector screen and firepit if you want to show movies or a video slideshow outside during your event… that was a cool feature.
With this venue you will not need to spend a ton on decorations and your guests will get a delightful experience. The place has charm, color and will make you feel comfortable– a great party space for a couple and for the guests, I LOVE this space.

From the moment we contacted Studio 1342 Jess was so prompt and kind in her responses. After sharing info about the space we were able to schedule an appointment that same week. Upon arrival Jess greeted us with BIG hugs and welcomed us into the space as if it was her home. The space is perfect for us and our laid-​back, party with a room for two food trucks in the front :)
If you need an AMAZING space and want to work with someone who is super kind and easy to work with, please look no further and book this space immediately. Thank you again Jess (& Jeremy) for being awesome to work with!

This place is amazing. My husband and I just got married here this last Saturday, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
From the beginning, we knew we wanted something a bit different, and after seeing just one other venue we knew we’d found our spot! We wanted a place that felt like «us» but didn’t need a lot of «stuff» to make it feel complete. This is that place!
The outdoor area is just to-​die for, and the inside is just as breathtaking. There are lots of great locations on-​site for photos whether it be murals, or all of the greenery backdrops, the swing, or all the little private alcoves. Plus, the venue next door (Pips) plays steel drum music during the day which I LOVED while we were having our photos done! What a great atmosphere! Our guests really could NOT stop raving about the space and asking us how we’d found it! Win!
Jessica is my favorite thing about this place, though. I can’t thank her enough for all her help and recommendations. She made this whole process a pleasure, and I wish I could get married all over again just to hang out with her a few more times! That’s not creepy at all, right?! Hmmm…
My recommendation to anyone looking to use this space would be to take heed of any recommendations — vendors who have worked here before will be much more at home, and it makes things SOOOO much easier. Other than that, have fun and cherish every moment!
Thanks, Studio 1342 and Jessica!

My husband and I got married here last year and we loved absolutely everything about this venue. You have to check out the pictures on their blog. It has a very green-​friendly yet vintage-​modern vibe to it. Jessica is absolutly amazing. She even helped us find the best wedding coordinator (day of). We had our ceremony ans cocktail hours outside and reception inside and out. All out pictures came out beautifully.

A multi-​faceted venue with open outdoor; covered outdoor and indoor spaces for any and all event needs.
The open outdoor space features a grassy quad, gas fire pit and lounge swing.
The covered outdoor space features a bar.
The indoor space is quite multi-​faceted in and of itself, featuring a full-​kitchen, make-​up studio, lounge and open space (possibly for a photo shoot).
Overall, if you are planning an event and know hot prep a space to be entertaining — providing your guests different activities in which to partake, this event space is for you.
I attended an event that did just that. They prepped the entire venue with different stations. All of the guests were able to experience and enjoy each unique space and consequently the entire venue.

What a wonderful venue/​space!
Recently came here for an event and had a great time. Really like the layout of this place. There’s an outdoor grassy area, as well as a main patio with partial coverage. The indoor space is great too, high ceiling, clean treated concrete floor, very modern look. There was a stage setup with a DJ station inside. Also inside there’s a spacious makeup station for us ladies to get dolled up. There were buffet style food stations setup in the outdoor patio area, and a full bar setup under the canopy. Really well thought-​out.
Bathrooms are very clean and they had valet parking as well. Definitely recommend.

My brain is still mushy from my wedding so I apologize for the verbal diahhrea.
Love this venue for my wedding. Perfect combo of special occasion but also relaxed hipster fun good times.
Wonderful succulent and greenery décor outside. The photos on the website are very accurate. They’ve also upgraded a few things including a little fire pit and more outdoor seating. Looks fabulous.
The venue has a great layout that allows for people to walk around the different little areas and enjoy the ambience. It’s wheelchair friendly. They also let us have our dog at the event.
The kitchen is in the photography inside area and it’s a little small so I wouldn’t recommend it for your caterers. There are some curtains inside which you can utilize to block certain areas off etc.
the bar outside is not a wet bar so your bartending service will have to keep that in mind. No running water/​sink!
We hungup lights inside to provide more ambient glow which you’ll probably want depending on the type of event you are having. And we rented a small audio system which I think they also now offer as an add’l rental purchase. So you are definitely bringing your own stuff in. You can go pretty crazy decorating inside if you want. We kept it simple.
I used the upstairs office as my bridal suite. It’s comfy but not super fancy.
Jessica, who manages, is very friendly. It’s mostly a photography studio, so you often have to work around those bookings for rehearsal ceremony and other site visits. She can also recommend vendors that work often at the space.
They seemed to be a lot newer of a venue so they did change a few house rules on us last minute, but nothing that couldn’t be resolved amicably. They originally said we could have the venue 2 – 2 or 1 – 1. (You book it in 12 hour slots). But now it’s just 1 – 1. It’s a little tricky because you can only go in and setup during your allotted time so it made it very specific for vendors delivery and pickup… which usuallly means more expensive delivery fees. Heads up! Unfortunately, we learned about the timeframe change a little late so we had to move up our ceremony time. Everything worked out, but again, last minute change. Ack.
They are much more reasonably priced than smog shoppe or marvimon type venues… at least for now.
There contract for weddings is pretty strict when it comes to liability; all the responsibility is on the renting party (that’s you). This was a little stressful for me, but I just got hefty insurance. This venue doesn’t require any particular vendors except for TACT management and the valet company. My coordinator worked with TACT and she felt they were very easy and communicative. So with vendors you have mostly freedom, but you also have to bring a lot in including tables/​chairs. And there isn’t a lot of onsite parking. It’s mostly street; hence the valet.
I would strongly suggest getting a wedding coordinator first and having them review the contract and house rules with you to make sure you are comfortable with hit. Luckily, everything went well at my wedding so no post event issues with deposit or cleanup.

I’ve been passing by this venue for decades without realizing what a GEM was hidden behind the black gates. We had a beautiful summer wedding here just a few weeks ago and the venue was a huge hit. The design and vibe of the venue is so LA chic! Even all of our wedding vendors from caterer, photographer, florist, etc all commented on how fun it was to work at Studio 1342.
And Jessica the site manager. i heart her~ From getting back to emails quickly, answering a bajillion questions that i’m sure all brides have, to her just being such a cool person, she was an absolute pleasure to work with!
I would recommend no more than 170 guests for a comfortable wedding. def can fit more but you’ll need to get real creative.
can’t wait to post pics!

We had set our expectations pretty high (as anybody couple waiting to be married would), but our wedding surpassed anything we could have imagined thanks to the awesome venue that is Studio 1342. The studio provided a great backdrop that brought our vision to life. The guests had been raving about the feel of the wedding and how everything just came together. The owners and the site manager were incredibly helpful in the planning process and accommodating for site visits. Definitely check this place out for events.

We just held a wedding here and the experience was amazing! We mainly worked with Jessica and she was very professional and accommodating. Our guests could not get over how beautiful it is here. It’s absolutely gorgeous and has a major wow factor. From the esthetics to the service, 5 stars all the way!!!

Beautiful venue for event space. I came here for a wedding. While the exterior may seem a bit shabby, and the neighborhood definitely a bit seedy, the interior was actually spacious, modern, and had a very distinctly LA feel to is. During the summer months, the lighting is beautiful, and the interior is air-​conditioned.

This place was a little difficult to find, thanks to the valet kiosk we were able to spot it right away. It’s a lovely place to have a wedding ceremony and reception. It’s a great set up with the bar outside where is spacious and dinner inside the studio. Great place to have a wedding!

For a fun and relaxed atmosphere, this utilitarian, industrial and modern studio space, is one venue for your event consideration.
Attended Tim and Lori’s wedding ceremony and reception here on 4÷6÷2013. The ceremony took place at the outdoor elevated garden, which comfortably seated at least 150 guests. Inside the studio, where the dinner reception took place, they were able to comfortably fit 25 rectangular tables with 8 guests at each table.
For rental consideration, their rental agreement is available online and states that:
«Each rental is a 10-​hour day, from load in to load out Prep days and Strike days must be scheduled. There is a 15 min grace period for overtime after which overtime fees will accrue hourly at $ 150 per hour, after 10pm at $ 250/​hour.»
As for parking, the bride and groom hired insured valet parking company for complimentary valet service, which made it more convenient for guests wearing heels and for guests to arrive to the destination in a timely fashion.
Street parking is available but most were taken by the time we arrived and we were among the early birds. Again, valet parking is highly recommended for your guests.
