Indian Wedding Venue: Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles

{About Indian Weddings at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles}

The Sheraton Gateway is an airport hotel, minutes from Los Angeles International Airport. Newly renovated, this 4 star hotel has not hosted an Indian wedding, however they have hosted a Jain convention and other South Asian events and are familiar with outside catering and other requirements for Indian weddings.

The advantages of having an Indian wedding at an airport hotel are: the large space capacities that really give you a grand feeling as the venues are very wide and spacious. Your guests arriving from around the country and abroad will really appreciate the convenience of not having to travel far as well as the hotel’s complimentary shuttle to/from LAX. And if you have a booking window of 9 months or less, pricing may be more flexible.

The outside catering pricing is competitive and they offer packages based on no-alcohol and/or a consumption bar. Complete the form below for more info.

{Ceremony Venues at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles}

The Sheraton Gateway has never done an Indian wedding before so part of deciding here to have the ceremony may require talking through the options. For more traditional options the Sheraton has three really nice ballrooms:

The Grand Ballroom features a 14.5-foot ceiling and seats up to 1400 guests for a ceremony. This ballroom can be divided into sections, so you could have your sangeet or garba, ceremony, post-ceremony lunch and reception all configured in sections of the Grand Ballroom.

The California Ballroom also has a 14.5-foot ceiling and seats approximately 650 guests for a ceremony. This ballroom cannot be divided into sections, so you rent the entire space.

For more intimate gatherings, the Catalina/Clemente Room features a 10-foot ceiling and seats approximately 250 guests for a ceremony.

The Brasserie is another venue at the Sheraton with floor-to-ceiling windows and an adjacent patio and can probably seat around 400 guests for a ceremony.
