Bexx Secret Garden hosts micro weddings, elopements, showers, themed parties and small corporate gatherings for 20 to 80 guests, with planning, catering and cakes handled in-house. The venue is a covered outdoor patio and garden at 5113 Bakman Avenue in North Hollywood, in the NoHo Arts District of Los Angeles.
Seminars and company events
The venue states that it hosts corporate gatherings, private parties and conferences. In practice the garden suits team dinners, client receptions, holiday gatherings and themed company parties for groups of up to 80. The team designs the event, cooks the menu and bakes the cake, so an organiser deals with one contact rather than several vendors. The garden has misters, heaters and a sound system, which keeps it usable across seasons. It is also used as a film and television location.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core of the garden. Micro and intimate weddings run from 2 to 66 guests. Three formats are offered: an elopement for 2 to 10 guests over three hours, a sweetheart wedding for 20 guests with room to add more, and a larger garden wedding for 40 to 50 guests, extendable up to 66. The two wedding packages include a five-hour garden rental with staff, planning and design, a ceremony backdrop with florals, a ceremony video, chairs, linens and tableware, valet, and cleaning, setup and teardown. Themed weddings are a specialty, and the team builds the day from the couple's brief.
Rooms and capacities
The site describes one garden with a covered patio, not a set of separate rooms. It lists 20 to 80 guests for events and 2 to 66 for micro weddings. A floor plans page exists on the site for organisers who want to check layouts.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The team writes the menu, cooks it and bakes custom cakes and sweets, and the site lists a creative cuisine section and menus and packages pages. Food and bar are quoted separately from the wedding packages.
History and setting
The owner, Bexx, says she built the garden with her own hands about fifteen years ago, and grows many of the flowers used for events. The garden sits behind a private gate, with a hidden location and a high level of privacy. Themed parties include Alice in Wonderland, Outlander, murder mystery, Roaring Twenties, circus and luau.
Getting there
The address is 5113 Bakman Avenue, North Hollywood, CA 91601, near Universal Studios and the studios of Los Angeles, with access from the 101, 134 and 170 freeways. Visits are by appointment only, and the office is open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 5 pm.
