For Jessica and Anthony, the search for the perfect wedding venue started and ended at the Oviatt Penthouse in Downtown Los Angeles. After touring several other spots, nothing could quite match the immediate “vibe” they felt from the Oviatt staff and its storied halls.
Built in 1928, the Oviatt is a masterclass in historic, vintage aesthetics. Its Art Deco architecture and intricate marble work offer a timeless backdrop that feels both cinematic and intimate. The couple fell in love with the logistical ease of the space—having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one sky-high location, with the convenience of nearby hotels just a short stroll away.
From Vegas Beats to DTLA Heights
Their story began far from the quiet elegance of a rooftop. On April 23, 2016, amidst a Zedd set at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, Jessica and Anthony met while both frantically searching for their sandals by the pool. What started as a birthday celebration for Jessica (and a cousin’s birthday for Anthony) evolved into a ten-year journey of growth.
A Decade of Real Love
The beauty of Jessica and Anthony’s relationship lies in its authenticity. Anthony cherishes that Jessica is her 100% unfiltered self—whether she’s “hangry,” silly, or sad—while Jessica is constantly moved by Anthony’s compassionate and caring nature. After a decade together, their wedding at the Oviatt wasn’t just a party; it was a celebration of the breakthroughs and deep connection they continue to build every day.
Venue Spotlight: The Oviatt Penthouse
Perched atop the James Oviatt Building, this venue is a DTLA treasure. It features an expansive outdoor rooftop deck with panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline, balanced by an indoor space filled with authentic Lalique glass and rich woodwork. It is the ultimate destination for couples seeking a “Old Hollywood” feel without leaving the heart of the modern city.
