☀️ Saturdays Just Got a Lot Better
There’s something very LA about spending a summer afternoon sipping spritzes in a courtyard while a DJ plays in the background and someone nearby is building a flower bouquet.
That’s basically the vibe at The Culver Hotel this summer, as the hotel brings back its popular Garden Party Saturdays series beginning Memorial Day Weekend.

Running every Saturday through Labor Day from 3–6 p.m., the weekly gathering transforms the historic hotel courtyard into one of the Westside’s most relaxed summer hangouts.
🍹 Spritzes, Sangria & Summer Snacks
The menu is leaning fully into warm-weather energy this year.
Guests can order Limoncello spritzes, micheladas, and bottomless sangria pitchers alongside shareable bites like Tuna on Crispy Rice, Culver Sliders, Deviled Eggs, oysters, and garden-inspired appetizers including Burrata Bruschetta and Falafel Bites.
Basically: the kind of menu where you accidentally stay three hours longer than planned.
🌹 A Rosé Pop-Up Is Joining the Party
One of the new additions this season is a limited-time rosé pop-up by Whispering Angel, appearing during select holiday weekends, including Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day.
Which honestly feels extremely on-brand for a hotel garden party in Los Angeles.
💐 Flowers, Music & Good Energy
Returning this year is The Floral Boutique’s flower cart, where guests can build custom bouquets to take home. Meanwhile, resident DJ Oggy will keep the atmosphere light and easygoing throughout the afternoon.
It’s less “party party” and more the kind of gathering where everyone suddenly starts romanticizing summer.
🐶 Yes, Your Dog Is Invited Too
Possibly the most LA detail of all: the event is both family-friendly and dog-friendly.
There’s even a “Barkuterie Board” for dogs, complete with treats, fruit, veggies, and peanut butter dip. Kids also get their own “Kidcuterie Plate,” which honestly is just a fun phrase to say out loud.
✨ Why People Love It
What makes these garden parties work is that they don’t feel overly produced. The setting is stylish without trying too hard, the food is easy to share, and the whole thing feels more like stumbling into a really good summer afternoon than attending an event.
And in LA, that’s kind of the goal.
