440 Elm is a historic Long Beach wedding and event venue housed in a 1913 Renaissance Revival landmark, offering a Grand Ballroom and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings. The venue is designed by architect Elmer Grey, features 30-foot coffered ceilings, original stained glass, and a black-and-white tiled foyer; it is operated by Bite Catering Couture, a woman-owned, chef-led team known for bespoke, thematic menus and only one event hosted at a time. Built in 1913, the building has been beautifully restored and honored with the Long Beach Heritage award for adaptive reuse; the site has hosted high-profile commercial shoots featuring director David Fincher and actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Located in downtown Long Beach's East Village Arts District, centrally between Los Angeles and Orange County, approximately one mile from the Long Beach Convention Center; the website lists availability for events across Los Angeles and Orange County. Couples and event hosts highlight the architectural grandeur (high ceilings, stained glass, varied spaces for ceremony through reception), the responsiveness of Elizabeth and Vijay, and food that was described as elevated, beautifully presented, and culturally tailored.
