Carondelet House hosts private events in Los Angeles for up to 220 guests at a cocktail reception and up to 150 seated. It is a 1926 brick building at 627 S Carondelet Street, close to downtown, with outdoor courtyards, furnished parlors and a private suite. It is used for weddings, corporate gatherings and social celebrations.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells corporate and social events as well as weddings. Its own pages mention cocktail parties, milestone celebrations, seated dinners and late-night gatherings. For a company, the practical formats are a standing reception for up to 220 guests or a seated dinner for up to 150. The site does not describe seminar layouts, screens or sound equipment, so a daytime meeting needs to be confirmed directly with the team. Non-wedding pricing and booking go through a separate inquiry page, and seasonal holiday party packages are advertised.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core of the offer. The venue can host the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception and late-night bites on the same property. Guests move between the outdoor courtyards, the furnished parlors and the rooms set aside for portraits. A private bridal suite is available. A wedding brochure with options and pricing can be downloaded from the website. Receptions can be cocktail style for up to 220 people or seated for up to 150.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is described as a set of courtyards, parlors and a private suite rather than a list of numbered halls. The official site gives two capacity figures for the whole property: 220 guests standing and 150 guests seated. It does not give a capacity for each room, so organisers should ask which spaces are included in a given booking and how the parlors and courtyards would be laid out for their date.
Accommodation
There are no guest bedrooms on site. Out-of-town guests stay in nearby hotels, and the site does not recommend a specific one. Downtown Los Angeles offers a wide choice within a short ride.
Catering
Catering is provided exclusively by Tres LA Catering, the in-house team of the Tres LA Group that operates the venue. This means a client cannot bring an outside caterer. The group presents itself as having more than two decades of experience in catering, beverage service and event venues, and it also runs other venues in Long Beach and Dallas. Menus and packages are shared in the downloadable brochures.
History and setting
The building dates from 1926 and was the home of a prominent Los Angeles architect. It was later acquired by Otis College of Art and Design. The site describes an Italian-inspired design in brick, with vintage textures set against an urban location. A virtual tour of the interior is linked from the home page.
Getting there
The address is 627 S Carondelet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90057. The site does not give transit directions, so organisers should check parking and drop-off arrangements with the team before the event. Inquiries can be made by phone at 323.310.4700 or by email.
