10-COURSE BANQUET, PREPARED IN-HOUSE
Most hotel venues in Los Angeles require outside catering for a traditional Chinese banquet. The Hill is one of the few that executes it on-site. Our kitchen prepares a full multi-course banquet menu, and every menu goes through a complimentary food tasting before your date so the courses are confirmed to your standards.
This is the option for couples who want the hotel ballroom experience without compromising on the banquet itself.
MANDARIN-SPEAKING WEDDING COORDINATOR
Your point of contact from proposal through the final course speaks Mandarin. She handles communication with your family, coordinates with your vendors, and manages the details so nothing requires translation in the middle of planning.
The Ballroom Circle and Sierra Courtyard offer outdoor ceremony settings with the Hollywood Hills as a backdrop. The Grand Ballroom accommodates indoor ceremonies with the ceiling height and open floor plan for any configuration. If your ceremony is off-site, the venue coordinates timing so the transition into the banquet is seamless.
Ballroom Circle starts at $5,000 and includes a catwalk option. Sierra Courtyard starts at $3,000. Both are priced separately from your banquet package.
CEREMONY SPACES
PRIVATE ROOMS FOR THE TEA CEREMONY
Breakout rooms adjacent to the main ballroom provide an intimate setting for the tea ceremony before the banquet begins. Your event manager coordinates timing and access so the transition between moments flows naturally through the day.
ENTERTAINMENT AND LION DANCE
The Grand Ballroom stage handles full band and DJ setups with professional sound and lighting already in the room. The ballroom floor has the space and ceiling clearance for a lion dance without rearranging the room.
Indoor events can run until midnight, with overtime available until 3am. Outdoor music wraps by 10pm per local ordinance.
