This was a beautiful home that perfectly suited the needs for our shoot and Dani and Nathan were very responsive, accommodating and helpful hosts. They made a great suggestion about doing crew parking at the Pacific Design Center due to limited options in the immediate neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Find Courtyard venues in Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles is the land of sea, sun, and sand as well as the glamorous world of Hollywood. Shoot a dreamy and romantic scene for a romantic comedy in an elegant courtyard with a fountain in the background. Need a party space for a private celebration? Easily book a fitting LA venue for your event with Giggster.

Giggster's venues can be used to host guests in the most sophisticated of ways, as with a sprawling Mediterranean villa with a serene blue pool and peaceful ambiance, or to shoot an emotional scene in a campus courtyard. A stunning backyard oasis of a spectacular and well-equipped Bel Air mansion is certainly a one of a kind shooting location.

The Giggster app has a variety of event spaces and patios in all sorts of designs and prices. The most discerning of event planners and filmmakers would be able to find a venue to suit their needs from among the options we offer.

Why Choose Giggster for a Courtyard Event Space?

The best thing about Giggster is the sheer range of venues on offer, from Downtown Los Angeles garages and parking spaces for filming to Greek-inspired mansions with backyards for weddings and receptions. You wouldn't want to settle for anything but the best, so finding the best event space for you in Los Angeles does matter a great deal, and that's exactly where we can help.

  • Plan a corporate event at a luxurious Beverly Hills mansion. This venue has fine art and modern furnishings in addition to sweeping views of the city and ocean that will impress your guests.

  • An enchanted English-style cottage with vintage furniture and a cozy backyard is not just an intimate event venue but an excellent shooting location.

  • A nighttime outdoor courtyard is just the spot to film a very gritty crime scene or a grungy music video. There's plenty of room for a large cast and crew despite being surrounded by buildings.

  • On the other hand, a sun-drenched haven filled with potted plants has the kind of cozy, boho chic vibes that are ideal for a photoshoot.

Top Events for Los Angeles Courtyards

Choose a Los Angeles location to shoot at or host the party of the year from among 963 options on Giggster. These courtyards and gardens are just as appealing by day as by night.

Weddings – Outdoor Celebrations. Given the balmy California weather, there's no reason that you can't host your special day in the courtyard or outdoor terrace of a Los Angeles mansion. Mingle with all your guests during the reception at a comfortable pace.

Cocktail Party – Elaborate Dinners. Whether it's a corporate event or a premiere, you can give the attendees and special guests something to talk about by hosting a private and intimate party in elegant and sprawling gardens.

Photoshoot – Stunning Backdrops. Your shooting location is supposed to enhance the quality of your photographs so that your clients are pleased with the results. That's exactly the case with these locales. A stone fountain or waterfall peeping out of the corner just makes it even more aesthetic.

Film/TV Show – Shoot on Location. Whether you need to lay out tables and chairs to mimic a wedding ceremony and reception on camera or you're trying to capture the laid-back vibes of a tropical hotel with a big pool, these spacious venues make for great filming opportunities.

Music Video – Breath of Fresh Air. Forget the bars and clubs or the cute home settings, a music video with an electric dance scene set in a castle courtyard is just the kind of new and epic thing that audiences and fans love.

Top Features to Look for in a Los Angeles Courtyard Venue

Just because a place looks great on paper doesn't mean that you shouldn't double-check that it has all the essential features for a good shooting or event venue.

What materials and amenities does the location have? Tables and chairs, audio-visual equipment in case the host wants to make a presentation for the grand event, as well as essentials like bathrooms are definitely a big pro when picking out an outdoor venue.

What kind of atmosphere does it have? Whether you're taking engagement photos to send out to your family and friends or you're shooting a music concert scene for a film, there's a certain kind of ambiance that each activity requires.

How much room is there? Courtyards are roomy spaces, but will they fit a massive cast and crew? Will it feel suffocating and closed in or open and airy?

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renting a Courtyard Venue in Los Angeles

Want to spend a night out in California on a superb outdoor patio? You'll certainly find enough and more venues for it, but are they a good fit for you? Each type of space does have benefits and drawbacks, after all.

Advantages

  • Looking for a versatile spot where you can just as easily film a wedding scene from a historical drama as a modern hip hop video? You'll be well served with these courtyard venues.

  • They're typically large spaces and have enough room for either a large cast and crew or a sizeable number of guests.

  • The pleasant, sunny, balmy Los Angeles weather makes these courtyard venues an absolute pleasure to celebrate in.

Disadvantages

  • If you're looking for an event space in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, you might be disappointed. A courtyard needs a somewhat open space, which isn't easily found at the city center.

  • These courtyards aren't fitted with much, from tables and decor to dressing rooms for the cast to get ready in.

  • As is typical of Los Angeles, many of these venues are on the pricey side, especially because they tend to be premier properties.

Planning Your Courtyard Event in Los Angeles

Beyond finding a beautiful backdrop for your film shoot or your big occasion, there are quite a few things that you need to pay attention to when it comes to planning.

Find a Venue – Not only does the size and layout of the space matter in terms of guest count or how many members of the cast you have, but everything else can only take off once you have a location picked out.

Pick Date and Time – Once the venue has been arranged, you can think about other things, like what time of day the light would be best. Or how cheap or expensive it would be to host a party on a weekend.

Get Your Gear – Even if you need a specialized camera lens, you don't have to buy one just for this shoot—you can rent one from one of the many Los Angeles rentals. But be sure to have everything in place before the shoot.

Handle Logistics – From getting a catering team to setting up snacks and beverages for your crew and booking hotels for out-of-town cast members and adequate crew parking, have an assistant to help you with all the last-minute details.

Saving Money on a Courtyard Event

Start your money-saving tricks by finding a beautiful venue in Los Angeles at just $30/hour, but don't stop there! Here are some other ways you can save money on your event or shoot.

Make use of natural light.

You're in an outdoor space, and the mellow light of the afternoon sun is often perfect for photoshoots and filming. The less you have to use big lighting equipment, the better!

Keep decorations to a minimum.

If you're hiring a Los Angeles patio or courtyard, it's because you want your surroundings to shine. Don't overcrowd the space with pavilions, banners, flowers and tulle.

Communicate clearly with your vendors.

You might assume that you'll save money by skipping professional services. But we can assure you that these people are much more capable of providing an upscale dinner or flowers on a budget than you would be. You'll save money by being honest with them.
