3 Free Outdoor Venues in Los Angeles

May 6, 2021 Ayla Rose

SMELL the fresh cut grass,

LISTEN to birds chirping,

OPEN the windows for fresh air,

NOTICE the longer daylight hours,

FEEL the warmer temperatures,

TASTE the fresh herbs in the garden…

It’s time to feel the vitality of the season. Spring is here and summer’s just around the corner. What are you doing to celebrate this glorious time of year? Being in California, we’ve been fairly lucky having to be outside for most if not all of our gatherings. The trend continues with outdoor parties, weddings, birthdays, and everything in between.

Check out these few low cost ideas with free venue options and easy decoration:

Dance around the sand castles and swim at Zuma Beach. You can’t beat a birthday with a waterside picnic at sunset! Add a vibrant celebratory atmosphere with colorful blankets to sit on, a rainbow of ribbons to dance with, and bubbles to blow during the day. Bring a few snacks, or you can order Taste and Company’s Gourmet to Go to have for your guests!

Join friends and family at Griffith Park on Crystal Springs Drive for a baby shower. Decorate your picnic table in the theme of the whimsical carousel with unicorns or ponies and pastels. Bring games, cake pops, and munchies. Remember to decorate a comfortable camping chair for the mom-to-be with small pillows, a carousel themed chair cover, and balloons!

Small wedding showers are gorgeous at the Franklin Canyon Park in Beverly Hills. You will enjoy luscious plants and trees, birds singing and a spacious, but cozy lawn space to enjoy your event. Set up a short table on a large mat for high tea, with pillows or meditation floor chairs and a small elegant canopy for maximum comfort.

Want to just have people over finally to celebrate the pandemic freedom? We can do all the work to cater your first barbecue of the season. We’ll give you the best fall-off-the bone ribs you’ll ever taste, or we’ll keep it vegan with cauliflower steaks, mushroom burgers, and grilled veggies. We’re here for you, so give us a shout!
