Staff Pick
415 Westlake is run by a small team that genuinely wants to help event planners succeed, not extract maximum revenue. Open catering policy means you can use any caterer (or self-cater), the 5,000 SF industrial space has no pillars blocking sightlines, and weekend rentals include Kakáo café — a rare perk that adds real value.
