Unique Venues for Memorable Holiday Parties In LA/OC

The holiday season is the most wonderful time of year and it’s always the busiest too! Bringing family, friends or coworkers together is a beautiful way to create one more joyful memory together for 2023 and celebrate the year ahead. While it’s pumpkin spice everywhere and fall is on our minds, there’s no time like now to start planning your holiday party, especially if you hope to secure a unique venue that will set the stage for an night to remember.

While traditional venues can be charming, why not step up your holiday party game by exploring some of the most captivating venues Los Angeles and Orange County have to offer? When you book now, you can reserve the perfect spot and rest easy knowing that the planning is done. Enjoy the party along with your guests and let Summit take care of the rest.

When it comes to unforgettable holiday parties, a boat is a great place to start. Whether you opt for the luxury of a Charter yacht like Sea Breeze’s Cats, or the nostalgic charm of the USS Iowa, your guests will enjoy dancing the night away surrounded by the reflection of city lights shimmering on the water.

For a party that’s totally out of this world, plan an event under the wings of the space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center, and be inspired by the history and ingenuity that it embodies. The impressive views from the rooftop pavilion and terrace of the Petersen Automotive Museum make it a top venue for not just for car aficionados, but for anyone seeking a unique spot to celebrate. If your guests are young at heart or your celebration is more of a family affair, Oak Canyon Park is a fun-filled option, with carnival attractions, mini golf, a ferris wheel and a vintage video game arcade.

Los Angeles and Orange County boast a rich history, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than within the walls of a historic landmark. The Houdini Mansion in the Hollywood Hills offers an enchanting and mysterious atmosphere for a magical holiday gathering. Since 1906, the Alexandria Ballrooms have hosted Hollywood royalty, several US presidents and other dignitaries, and this historic venue offers a variety of event spaces. Manassero Farms in Irvine is an event venue with 95 years of farming history, located in Irvine. Plan a laid back, country shindig in the barn or make the most of the farm and celebrate outdoors. From LA’s Union Station to the Greystone Mansion, the hardest part of planning your historic holiday event will be selecting a venue.

Downtown LA offers several unique venue options, from the rooftop city view penthouse and terrace at South Park Center, to Rolling Greens on Mateo. Treat your guests to twinkling city lights and plan a celebration that embraces the urban beauty that surrounds these gorgeous venues.

Booking early is essential when it comes to securing these exceptional holiday party venues. Unique venues tend to have limited availability during peak seasons.

Making plans now also lets you inform your guests well ahead of time, so they can mark their calendars and save the date, avoiding scheduling conflicts at a busy time of year. Give everyone something exciting to look forward to by making arrangements for your holiday celebration now.
