Looking for spaces to accommodate an intimate wedding of 2 - 50 people? This article is going to include the most unique small wedding venues in Los Angeles. I am a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California. While I shoot weddings of all different guest counts, I have to say, I have a soft spot for intimate weddings and elopements.
An Important Thing to Note
This list is to accommodate intimate weddings, which typically range from 2 - 50 people.
If you're looking to elope, which is typically less than 10 people total, I would check out my Complete Los Angeles Elopement Guide.
This guide covers EVERYTHING you need to know when it comes to planning your Los Angeles elopement, including venues that specifically accommodate elopements, open spaces within California that can be used to elope, etc.
Los Angeles Small Wedding Venues
This small wedding venue in Los Angeles offers breathtaking views of the water and is in a fun, iconic location. It's located on Venice beach's boardwalk, making it the perfect choice for a couple looking to have a wedding with a vibe that is a blend of: artsy, eclectic, relaxed, and California beachy.
This Inn is so charming and beautiful. Located in Laguna Beach, it's walking distance from a lot of boutiques, restaurants, and of course, the beach itself.
It offers gorgeous views of the water and also has access to the beach. So you and your parter can head down to the water for some portraits.

This is another really fun and unique small wedding venue in Los Angeles. It’s located along the edge of Hollywood Hills and offers a hip, funky, and slightly bohemian vibe. It is a fully turnkey restaurant, bar, and wedding event space. I recommend this wedding venue for a guest count anywhere from 10 – 75 people.
This place is adorable and is on the Malibu pier. The food is also amazing!
Inn of the Seventh Ray, Topanga Canyon
With huge trees, a waterfall, winding passageways, nature and fresh organic food, this Topanga Canyon wedding venue has an enchanting quality.
Gladstones is located between Malibu and Santa Monica and is one of the few restaurants to offer direct beach access.
The Culver City Hotel, Culver City
As far as small wedding venues in Los Angeles go, this space definitely offers something different. It's a hotel located in Culver city and it is filled with so much character. The architecture alone is really beautiful, but it also offers unique wall paper, chandeliers, amazing flooring, and an old-fashioned fire escape.
