NOOR opened its doors on September 10, 2010, with a dazzling brunch hosted for the top donors and supporters of NPR radio station LAist, 89.3 FM, featuring its top personalities. Since then, NOOR has become one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after event venues, hosting thousands of spectacular weddings and unforgettable celebrations. From celebrity-studded galas and fundraising events to romantic weddings, birthdays, Quinceañeras, Sweet 16s, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Debuts, christenings, graduations, and everything in between, NOOR has been the backdrop for life’s most meaningful moments.

Born from the vision of music producer and entrepreneur Robert Shahnazarian and his wife Maggie, NOOR was designed to be more than just a venue. Their mission was to create a boutique event space that delivers a culinary experience with impeccable service in a stunning venue— all with a warm, personalized touch.
