Need a westside reception venue that lets you bring in your own caterer

Hey everyone,

Looking for westside venue recommendations - ceremony/reception or just reception.  The kicker is that we need a place that will let you bring in your own caterer.  Any suggestions in Santa Monica/Venice/Culver/Mailbu/West LA/etc? 

We've already looked at Smog Shoppe in Culver but we'd like some other options.

Thanks!

    My fiance and i booked at the LA RIVER CENTER, they have a list of Caterers they perfer, but we were able to get away with bringing our own. Its a beautiful outdoor garden. Good luck with your search!

    Funny, I ran into a place on wedding compass the other day called Marekesh House, I believe.  It looks like a house with a modern backyard kind of.  I think it ws in Culver City.  I believe you can bring your own caterer.  I'm helping a friend plan her wedding now, and we are also looking for a venue that let's you BYO caterer.  Good Luck!

    If you want an oceanfront venue, check out Annenberg beach house in Santa Monica.  You have to hire a catering company....and I think New York Food Company is on their approved list.

    <div>That sounds awesome! I scheduled an appointment there to look at the venue because  I fell in love with the pictures I saw on-line. Hope it works out for us as well, since I was planning on having our own caterer as well.  How many guests are you guys having?</div>
