Whether you're planning a corporate mixer, fundraiser, birthday, or wedding, it's totally normal to explore a few different venues before deciding. Some clients are considering other areas, others aren’t sure about Downtown LA. We get it.
But here’s what many of our clients find after looking around: Bonaventure ends up being the right fit, even if it wasn’t their first stop.

We’re more than just a venue
Some venues just hand you the space and leave the rest up to you. At Bonaventure, we act more like your event partner. We handle setup, staffing, timeline support, food and beverage service, and all the small but important details.
We’re with you from the day you book to the end of your event, making sure things run smoothly and you actually get to enjoy yourself.
Client quote:
"I’ve planned over 30 events for my company and this was by far the smoothest one. Jacey and the staff handled everything. I actually got to enjoy the night instead of running around." – Janelle W., corporate client
Downtown LA has its challenges, but we help you navigate it
We know Downtown LA can feel a little chaotic, especially for groups unfamiliar with the area. But we’re located inside the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, a recognizable landmark that’s easy to find. We provide parking maps, detailed guest instructions, and vendor arrival info ahead of time to make things simple.
Client quote:
"I was unsure about hosting in Downtown at first, but Bonaventure gave us clear directions and all the tools to make it manageable. In the end, our guests had a great time and everything went off without a hitch." – Kevin M., university event organizer
The food gets rave reviews
We’re a working restaurant, which means everything is prepared fresh, in-house, and with attention to detail. We’re not just heating up trays or outsourcing catering.
Whether you go with passed apps, buffets, or stations like tacos, poke, or pasta, we’ll help you create a menu that fits your group and budget. We also offer vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options, plus non-alcoholic beverage stations or mocktail upgrades.
Client quote:
"People are still talking about the food. Everything was fresh, plated beautifully, and came out on time. It felt like a restaurant-quality meal, not typical event food." – Melissa R., fundraiser organizer
The space works for all kinds of events
Our garden patio and bar lounge area are flexible and easy to style. Whether you're going for casual, formal, fun, or modern, the base is there. You can bring in florals, signage, backdrops, or keep it simple with our built-in lighting and city views.
We’ve hosted everything from wedding showers and birthday parties to corporate offsites, networking mixers, and nonprofit galas.
Client quote:
"We barely added any decor and the space still looked so good. It already has a vibe to it, which made planning so much easier." – Taylor B., bridal shower host
Not sure yet? No pressure. We’re happy to help
Even if you’re still exploring other venues or not sure if we’re the right fit, we’re always happy to provide a quote or proposal so you can see what we offer.
If nothing else, you’ll have a helpful reference to compare options and pricing as you plan.
