Planning an outdoor wedding for the first time can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help! We’ve put together some essential tips to ensure your fairytale wedding goes off without a hitch. Let us guide you through the process to make your dream outdoor celebration a beautiful reality!

1. INVEST IN SCENIC VIEWS

The best part of an outdoor wedding venue is the stunning natural backdrop. Choose a venue with breathtaking scenery so you can keep decor minimal and let the views speak for themselves. At the Hilton Universal, we offer one of LA's most beautiful outdoor wedding venues, showcasing magnificent views of the Hollywood Hills and vibrant greenery. Our newly renovated Sierra Courtyard provides a modern, polished look and serves as a versatile blank canvas for all your decor ideas. Say "I do" with picturesque views that make your special day truly unforgettable!

2. WEATHER SOLUTIONS

Choosing a venue that can handle weather complications is essential for your special day. At the Hilton Universal, you don’t have to worry about muddy grounds or unexpected weather issues. Our hotel wedding venue is designed so your guests won’t have to deal with any mess. If it rains, we can provide tents for your wedding reception or ceremony. Additionally, if the weather turns too severe for an outdoor event, we can seamlessly transition your celebration into one of our elegant ballrooms. The Hilton Universal is committed to ensuring that your dream day remains as magical as possible, no matter what the weather brings.

3. THE PHOTOGRAPHY

Make the most of your stunning natural surroundings by capturing as many photos as possible while the sun is still up. If you’ve chosen our intimate wedding venue in Los Angeles for your dream outdoor wedding, your photos will capture breathtaking hills, natural lighting, and beautiful palm trees. When the sun goes down, ensure your photographer brings lighting to capture the magic of nighttime in LA and the great memories of your wedding reception. For a change of scenery, our elegant ballrooms also provide gorgeous backdrops for your photos.

4. EXPERIENCED VENDORS

When selecting your vendors, it’s essential to ensure they have experience with outdoor weddings.

It’s also important to have venue staff that is responsive and experienced with outdoor events.
