An enchanting Venue in the heart of Los Angeles, Redbird
REEL WEDDING - Redbird is an enchanting Venue in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. The beautiful outdoor courtyard with the lush vegetable and herb garden is joined to the ceremony and reception area under a canopy of olive trees.
The newly redesigned outdoor bar at Redbird was a sight to behold, with modern tiles and a spacious open area.
I must say, Redbird truly has it all – from a balcony with Vibiana's tower in the background, a bright indoor hallway with tropical plants, and even a moody black hallway reminiscent of a "cabinet of curiosity".
