Wedding at The Cicada Club in the heart of LA. Olivia and Jeremy wanted their day to reflect who they are, so the wedding was inspired by 1930’s and 1940’s vintage fashion and Swing Dancing. The iconic Art Deco Cicada Club was the perfect nostalgic and romantic space for their celebration.

Why we love Weddings at The Cicada Club:
A wedding at The Cicada Club is a step back in time—in the best possible way. Located in the heart of Downtown L.A., this Art Deco gem brings all the glam of a bygone era, with soaring ceilings, gold-leaf accents, and vintage chandeliers that make everything feel a little more romantic. If you’re into classic Hollywood style with a bit of drama (the good kind), The Cicada Club delivers it effortlessly.
What makes a wedding at The Cicada Club stand out is how immersive the experience feels. From the grand staircase to the built-in stage and mezzanine, the venue doesn’t just host your event—it becomes part of the story. The in-house entertainment options, like live jazz or swing bands, add to the throwback energy, making it feel more like a glamorous night out than a traditional wedding reception.
There’s also something really special about how the space flows. The ballroom layout is ideal for dinner, dancing, and everything in between. Whether you’re going black tie or adding your own modern twist, a wedding at The Cicada Clubgives you a timeless backdrop with just the right amount of edge. It’s not your average venue—and that’s exactly the point.
Some words from the couple on planning and having their wedding at The Cicada Club:
What were some inspirations for your wedding?
We met swing dancing and a lot of our hobbies include 1930’s and 1940’s vintage fashion, so we knew we wanted a very classic wedding with those vibes. Our band was the first thing we knew we wanted, even before we started seriously talking about marriage! We pulled lots of inspiration from the beautiful art Deco buildings and spaces in LA and our own love of those aesthetics.
What are some adjectives that describe your wedding decorations and style?
Classic, vintage, elegant, and a lil’ goth.
What did you love about having your wedding at The Cicada Club?
Having our wedding at The Cicada Club was the best. We’ve gone dancing to the Cicada Club so many times over the years and it’s always a special place for us. The date too, I love Halloween and all things spooky, but I didn’t want the wedding to feel too theme-y or cheesy, so all hallows’ eve seemed perfect for us.
