Navigating Elements

Temperatures, Transportation, Travel

So, you’re joining us in Downtown LA. We’re so excited to see you! We also understand you might have questions about winter weather on a rooftop, parking in LA, and safe, reasonable hotel recommendations. If we don’t have the answer below, please email us at ashleyandchelseabuckley@gmail.com, or submit questions via the RSVP button at the top of the page.

WEATHER

While a December wedding in SoCal might not chill the soul quite like a Christmas in Greenland, the elements can be tricky. Our historical weather searches for 12/7 show an average high in the low/mid 70s, with temps dropping to the low 50s in the late evening. To combat rain, wind, and vengeful geese, we will be under the protection of a large, dome tent, installed by the venue during the winter months. Guests will also have the option to step inside at any time (highly recommend, the bar’s in there).

PARKING

If you’re planning to brave LA traffic, one-way streets, and downtown drivers, bless your patience and courage! We will at least make parking easy for you - complimentary valet will be provided at the building entrance. Alternatively, we recommend using Uber, Lyft, or arrange to carpool, especially if you’re planning to toss back a few with us throughout the evening.

HOTELS

We appreciate you so much for traveling from afar to celebrate with us, and recognize even our LA county friends and family might opt to stay close to the venue. We are considering a hotel block depending on RSVPs, but in the interim we recommend checking out the following:

Millennium Biltmore - ~$240+/night

The Delphi - ~$237+/night

Westin Bonaventure - ~$324+/night

Sonder The Winfield - ~$201+/night

These are just a few. A Google search will show many options within the vicinity of The Oviatt! Do keep in mind many of the downtown hotels will have parking charges, and a few will have 2-day minimum stays.
