What is included in the event space rental?
All event space rentals include access to the venue starting at 8:00 AM on the day of your event, with load-out permitted until 2:00 AM the following morning. A dedicated Events Manager will be assigned to you and serve as your primary point of contact throughout the planning process to ensure a seamless experience. Please note that all estimated expenses are additional and will be applied on top of the base rental fee.
Do you provide catering services?
While we do not offer in-house catering, we highly recommend our preferred partners: Levy, Marriott, and Wolfgang Puck Catering, all of whom are experienced in servicing events at our venue. Should you choose to work with a third-party caterer, that is absolutely permitted. Please note, however, that our contract includes a provision stating that AEG retains 30% of the total food and beverage spend for outside catering.
Do you provide audio/visual services?
We offer in-house audio services suitable for a wide range of event needs. For larger-scale productions or more specialized A/V requirements, we’re happy to recommend our trusted preferred vendors who are familiar with the venue and can deliver exceptional results.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a 50% deposit is required to secure your event date and reserve the space. This deposit confirms your booking and allows us to begin preparations for your event.
Does the rental include screen usage of Peacock Place?
Screen usage at Peacock Place and/or Chick Hearn Court Plaza is not included in the standard rental package. However, screens/towers are available as an add-on and can be utilized for an additional fee, which varies depending on the specific screens/towers requested and the type of content to be displayed.
Can I schedule a site visit?
Absolutely! Our Booking and Events team would be delighted to give you a guided tour of L.A. LIVE and its event spaces. This is a great opportunity to explore the venue in person and visualize how each space can be tailored to your event needs.
Do you require insurance to host an event?
Yes, insurance is required for all events held at L.A. LIVE. This ensures proper coverage and protection for both the client and the venue. Specific insurance requirements will be outlined during the contracting process.
Is there on-site parking for guests and attendees?
Yes, L.A. LIVE offers multiple on-site parking options conveniently located throughout the campus to accommodate guests, attendees, and staff. For first-time site visits, we provide up to three parking validations for our West Garage as a courtesy.
How do I hold a date?
If the date is available, we are happy to place a soft hold on the calendar for your preferred event space. It’s never too early to reserve a date, and placing a hold allows you time to finalize details without financial commitment. A deposit is only required once you're ready to confirm and secure the booking.
What if the date is not available and I am behind other holds?
If your preferred date is already on hold, we can still place you in line behind existing holds at no cost. Should you decide to move forward and secure the date, we can initiate a challenge process, which gives the first hold the opportunity to confirm or release the date. This ensures a fair and transparent booking process for all parties.
What is the process of challenging a hold?
If you're ready to secure your event date and space, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to initiate the challenge process. Once the deposit is received, we will notify all parties holding the date ahead of you and provide them with 72 hours to either confirm their booking or release the date. If the date is released, it will be secured for your event.
What if I don’t win my challenge?
If the challenge is unsuccessful and the date is confirmed by another party, your deposit will be fully refunded. Our team will then work closely with you to explore alternative dates and find the best available option for your event.
What if I win the challenge?
If the holds ahead of you are released, the date becomes yours and we will proceed with contracting the space through an Event License Agreement. Your previously submitted 50% deposit will be applied toward the base license fee, officially securing your event.
