This first venue is a massive (6,000-square-foot, to be exact!) backyard in the idyllic Franklin Hills of Los Feliz.

The space includes waterfalls, ponds, and a treehouse (!), as well as a pergola, lounge area, restaurant booth, fire pits, and more. This is a great venue for a smaller, more intimate wedding with just the people you love most — its seating capacity is roughly 30 to 40 people.

One of the best features that come with using Peerspace is that you can read guest reviews from past renters. And this rainforest event space has tons of raves! Like this one: “Loved every inch of this place! Huge thanks to Danny for being the most gracious and patient host from start to finish. Hosted my birthday here with about 40 people and each guest was truly in awe of this gem. Perfect for if you’re looking to host a fun, different type of party/experience for folks. Has everything you’d ever need! Couldn’t recommend it more.”
