Greystone has been through it all, and we have had the pleasure (and even a few supernatural scares, more on that later) of designing first-class events at this iconic Los Angeles mainstay. Both its interior and exterior spaces offer gorgeous options for any event for those who win the yearly lottery system to secure an event date at this popular venue.

Los Angeles has a long and storied history filled with iconic cinema sets, scandals, and glamorous parties spanning from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the Digital Age of internet influencers. Amidst this ever-evolving landscape, one landmark has stood the test of time, witnessing all the trends pop culture has had to offer: Greystone Mansion.

This premier location is a testament to the enduring nature of Hollywood, weathering everything history has thrown at it. It has seen a political assassination, over a hundred famous movie sets, and its preservation as a historic monument has allowed for countless events to follow. Fortunately, skilled event designers like Center of Attention Events know how to indulge in all of Greystone’s sordid details to capture a classy, upscale party to rival the best of Hollywood Babylon.

Guests entering an event at Greystone are greeted with a massive 18-acre property featuring antique gardens alight with blooming flowers and a beautiful grass lawn adorned with a gorgeous antique fountain, Santa Monica sandstone banisters, and a stunning white rose garden perfect for a wedding ceremony.

At the crest of the Hollywood hillside stands the mansion’s original Pool House, which remains since the house’s construction in 1928. The pool itself has since been cemented and covered in beautiful brickwork. Worry not, this alteration has created a sun-soaked terrace surrounded by tall trees, making it the ideal space for springtime gatherings, summer celebrations, and open-air dining. An interesting feature unknown to the general audience is the balcony atop the pool house, designed to host a live band to accompany your guest’s dining experience.

Below that, in the shadow of the rose gardens, sits the cypress lane. If you look closely, you’ll recognize it from countless movies and shows such as House. This Italian-inspired slate path is flanked by towering cypress trees, with one side dominated by imported Roman antiquities and the other offering a banistered overlook of the entire 1920s estate. The cypress lane is the perfect location for event photography, be it for engagement photos or capturing wedding memories on your perfect day.

Down at the mansion itself sits the entirety of Greystone Mansion, whose exterior features a wide inner courtyard. This slate drive is surrounded by beautiful 1920s architecture, encapsulating the opulence of Prohibition-era America. The courtyard circles a gorgeous fountain, acting as the centerpiece for a wide and spacious dining area ideal for corporate galas, receptions, car shows, and charity drives.

Exiting the courtyard, you will pass an elegant foyer and round the estate’s impressive front entrance, where you will find a lily pad-strewn reflection pond perfect for cocktail hours and couples photos. From this point, you will find the estate’s high terrace overlooking Beverly Hills. Time the weather right, and you can see the Pacific Ocean and even catch a glimpse of Catalina Island. On the terrace, you can hold a high-end luxury dining experience beneath the stars, where your guests can dance the night away and, should you book it, enter the mansion itself through the windowed card room.

For those interested in the venue’s interior spaces, you can stage your event inside Greystone Mansion, whose checkered halls have witnessed the dark side of fortune, familial drama, high-stakes business, political intrigue, and a botched assassination. This home could host a high-stakes episode of HBO’s Succession on steroids among the dark wood-crested paneling which features secret compartments and hidden doors for those who know where to look. And for those who want a genre shift, the Mansion boasts a reputation for the paranormal. We may have even heard the odd haunted voice on occasion when preparing for an otherwise less-than-spooky event.

Hands down, Greystone Mansion is an amazing Los Angeles location, a venue perfect for the event you envision. With a long history of our team designing jaw-dropping events at Greystone, let’s make your vision a reality.
