Venue Features
The scene:
Garden Courtyard - A private, understated garden entry leads guests down a winding exposed aggregate path to reveal Millwick’s tranquil urban oasis, a courtyard surrounded by mature trees, drought tolerant landscaping, 20 foot brick walls and lush vertical gardens. At night, the courtyard twinkles with energy efficient lighting and the stars of Los Angeles. The courtyard opens in directly to the grand hall via two dramatically oversized glass overhead doors.

Grand Hall - Millwick’s Grand Hall parallels its Garden Courtyard and is accessed directly via two dramatically oversized glass overhead doors. Portions of the interior floors have been removed and planted with unique specimens giving the overall effect of an urban jungle. Nine large skylights float twenty feet overhead framed by soaring wooden bowstring truss ceilings. The eighty year old patina on the exposed brick walls has been preserved. Bathrooms are hidden away in amongst magic gardens. And a floor to ceiling projection screen anchors the end of the hall where a dj might set up for lounging and dancing.
Standout venue features:

Millwick is an eco-friendly venue because it has reinvented a centrally located, nearly abandoned 80-year-old building that is convenient to a variety of public transportation including the Gold Line and Union Station. The impact from demolition and construction was lessened by using as much of the existing structure as possible. The design reduced the original building’s footprint by 25%, converted the outdoor area into a permeable living oasis, and created a beautiful destination rustic wedding venue as well as an ideal environment for productions and events.

The strategically located over-sized courtyard doors and skylights provide passive lighting, as well as cooling and heating that minimize energy usage throughout the year by taking full advantage of the sunny, breezy, southern California climate. Millwick encourages and supports green events and introduce clients to green planners, stylists and other resources. Marvimon Productions also diligently recycles. Finally Millwick’s multi-use nature lowers its environmental footprint – one building performs as production studio, gallery, event space, office, etc.

Extra perks:
Millwick's amenities include use of our cinema screen and projector, DJ-ready sound system, private bridal suite, private outdoor patio and bar, indoor and outdoor gardens, casual lounge furniture, hand-crafted wood tables and chairs for up to 150 guests.
