The brief
Venue Sourcing, by Lev Event
The venue decides almost everything else: your date, your guest count, your catering options, your curfew and a large share of your budget. We start with a short brief, then present a curated shortlist from historic ballrooms, Malibu estates, downtown lofts, hotel rooftops, wineries and private homes — including spaces that are not on the usual wedding websites.
We tour with you, ask the questions that matter (power, parking, noise ordinances, load-in, minimums, insurance), compare quotes side by side and negotiate the contract before you sign.

The running order
Six stages, one producer, no surprises. Every event we plan follows the same proven sequence, scaled to your date.
Concept & budget
A written concept, mood board and itemized budget so every decision has a frame.
Design & vendors
Venue, vendors and design locked in, with samples and tastings you can actually touch.
Production plan
Floor plans, run-of-show and a contact sheet every vendor works from.
Rehearsal & load-in
We rehearse the key moments and direct setup before the first guest arrives.
Showtime & wrap
We call the show, solve problems quietly and pack up while you say goodnight.
From the house
“We had two families, three languages and a 340-person guest list. Levon’s team made it feel effortless. Our grandparents still talk about the bread-and-salt welcome.”

Questions
Venue Sourcing: answered
Do venues pay you a commission?
No. We do not accept venue commissions, so our recommendations are based only on fit and value for you.
Can you find venues for very large groups?
Yes. We source ballrooms, convention spaces and tented estates for events of 500 guests and more.
Can you help with permits for private or outdoor spaces?
Yes. We guide you through city and county permits, fire marshal requirements and neighbor notifications.
