A century-old ballroom for your night.
Weddings, milestone birthdays, quinceañeras, cultural celebrations, and gatherings worth remembering — hosted in 3,300 square feet of century-old architecture, thoughtfully modernized with pro lighting, sound, and climate control on Carson Street.
The venue.
Epicenter is a 100-year-old ballroom on Carson Street in Torrance. Original wood floors, lofty ceilings, and warm pendant lighting — a room that does the heavy lifting so your décor doesn't have to.
It's flexible enough for a 225 -person reception and intimate enough for a 50-person dinner. And because there are no columns, the floor plan is yours to shape.
3,300 square feet, no columns
A wide-open floor plan that adapts to seated dinners, ceremony + reception, dance-forward parties, and full theatrical setups.
100-year-old architecture
Original wood floors, lofty ceilings with exposed trusses, and warm pendant lighting that photographs beautifully day or night.
Cinematic lighting, built in
Chandeliers, LEDs, spotlights, and theatrical color washes are all included. Dial the room from soft daylight to club energy.
Plug-and-play sound system
A top-notch house system means a DJ can simply plug in — or your phone playlist can carry the night. Save on outside audio.
Bar built into the room
A pull-out bar countertop and shelving makes service feel intentional — not improvised.
On-site hospitality
One hospitality team member is included with every booking to guide you and your guests through the night.
Your tour, step by step.
Every booking starts with a tour. Bring your partner, family, or planner — we welcome the whole crew. Plan for about 30 to 45 minutes start to finish.
We'll listen first, then walk the room with you. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of your event here and a quote tailored to your date, hours, and guest count.
