Love the scale, respective proportions and all the desirable quality. However, the price point feels intuitively exorbitant. If not for the pricing, this would be a wonderful Must stop for designers. Needs some wet cloth dusting too.

Big Daddy's is not your typical antique store. If you're like me and you enjoy rummaging through antique items, nick nacks and more, this is not the place for you. With that being said, at Big Daddy's you can definitely find custom furniture, reproductions and home decor items for both your home and garden. Parking is available in their lot, accessible to the entrance of the store.

One of the most eclectic places to shop at within Town & Country Village. The items on display here are as creative as they are unique and you'll have fun even walking around to get some inspiration for your home decor. The wood paneling details on some of the furniture pieces are pretty neat and make you appreciate how furniture is such a craft!

The best part is the display items- all sorts of animal-themed items that make the house a fun place not just for kids but adults, too. Pro-tip try to park near Trader Joe's since there's way more parking out there and the walk is super short! Gotta think back to the other similar competing stores. There's Pier 1 Imports down in the LA area, which does carry some pretty eclectic items- one of my favorites being a single person hammock chair.

But I guess that was when I was a bachelor. Now my idea of a splurge but must-needed furniture item is a round hammock swing that's big enough to fit me, the wife, and the kids. Also a puppy. Which brings me to my next point- before you pick out furniture, make sure you think about material! Cannot emphasize this enough- everything in a furniture store will always look pristine and clean, but have you given any thought to how long you want this piece?

Will it look as good if it's white cotton and absorbs moisture like a sponge cake? Consider if a covering for the furniture piece is an option and/or if it would actually look nice. There's nothing like going to your uncle's house where a nice piece of furniture was covered with a nice cloth to protect it, then an older cloth was put over the nice cloth to protect the cloth, so that by the time they have an important guest coming and want to show off the original piece of furniture, it's already been worn down!

Keep your timeline close to the front of your mind folks! Here is some home decor inspiration to get you started: https://havenly.com/?g_acctid=395-720-2481&g_campaign=Non-Brand%20%7C%20Generic%20%7C%20Beta&g_campaignid=9212118402&g_adgroupid=93671120099&g_adid=415598032010&g_keyword=%2Bhome%20%2Bdecorations&g_keywordid=kwd-298899874217&g_network=g&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=%2Bhome%20%2Bdecorations&utm_content=415598032010&utm_matchtype=b&utm_adgroupid=93671120099&utm_keyword=%2Bhome%20%2Bdecorations&utm_campaign=SEM_NB_Generic_Alpha&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIodO-opHe5wIV7x-tBh1ndQbxEAAYASAAEgJwLfD_BwE

Well, I have been coming in for years and feel the place is lacking lately. Disorganized and the manager seems to make up pricing, prices vary depending on who you ask. Cannot walk through certain areas due to things in the way. Hope it improves. Decent vintage selection if you want to deal with the above.

There's soooo much to see at Big Daddy's Antiques and they're constantly bringing in new items on the regular. Everything from furniture to tchotchkes, pictures and even motorcycles are stuffed into the gigantic space. Things are definitely on the pricier side, but most is in pretty good condition and if you can't find what you're looking for, there's a lot of staff that will help you find the pieces you may be seeking. It's pretty easy to get lost in here, especially since you may have to maneuver your way around bulky items, open cabinets or just a variety of items in your way. Don't forget to go and check out the plants outside, as there are a lot of succulents, statues, and other decor that could make your yard pop. Recommend if you're in the area and looking for interesting pieces for your home. or to just kill some time in an afternoon.

Did not get this place? Way way over priced. Hardly any antiques and a whole bunch of over priced junk. But what can I say one persons junk is another persons treasure. But I wouldn't waist my time to come and see this place.

This is both a unique, hip antique store and a wonderful place to hold an event. We've been to two school silent auctions and both times were a magical experience. The backdrop of large, vintage items was a perfect setting to host a gala, with catering, an open bar, a DJ, and plenty of room for dancing and mixing with friends. For our events, they even hired cirque performers, which fit in with the off-beat decor. Its location, just off La Cienega near Jefferson feels hidden, yet trendy.

My daughters wedding was extraordinarily beautiful in every detail, and all the guests were blown away by the gorgeous space and spectacular decor. Hayley, the coordinator, was exceeding helpful and available. worth every penny.

I'm a fan of this place. They have unique items, nicely placed. Even if the stuff they are selling are way above your budget, it still worth it. You might get inspired and be creative and decorate your house by spending less money! The staff is always friendly, but that's a given. They are running a business not a country!

Haley rocked! And so did this venue! The coolest place ever for a wedding. As the mom of the bride, I was quite sceptical because of its vastness. It seemed too big for 100 people. But it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere screamed LA hip! And that's what my daughter wanted to convey to all of the out of town, Easterners and Midwesterners!

We started outdoors with the ceremony, then off to the side patio for a cocktail hour. Moved inside where the antique store was transformed into an awesome dance club, with tables, chairs, sofas, giant beautiful bar and fantastic lighting. It was very impressive for all of our guests and had wonderful scenery for all the photos. We highly recommend this venue!

The most magic place EVER My son and daughter had their wedding celebration there in November 2016. It was such an unique experience and will always be one of my most precious memories. WHAT A FANTASTIC VENUE AND WAREHOUSE. Loved every moment and a big thank you from South-Africa.

Not for the financially squeamish, Big Daddy's antiques is a joy to the eye; history of ages, all on one floor, with additional outside treats to tantalize the senses. You can see why the film industry rents so many of their treasures.

Had my wedding here. Everything was AMAZING. I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the extremely dirty floors throughout the venue that dirtied my wife's dress and ruined some photos.

Big Daddy's Antiques was number one on my list of potential wedding venues. We wound up choosing another venue as a compromise - parents wanted a more traditional place. I'm just the bride, not like my opinion actually counts right?; I wanted to write about my positive experience nevertheless in case potential brides get discouraged by the negative reviews.

I communicated with Hayley, the event coordinator, solely through e-mail primarily, but I never had an issue reaching her. She replied to my e-mails on the same day without fail. I found her to be flexible, mindful, and patient. I got an initial quote based on the number of guests. Hayley did explain that the initial quote could change given what we'd want to do with the place.

I found the initial quote to be reasonable given that it included set up and cleaning fee. Some notable aspects about Big Daddy's as a wedding venue is that their parking space is limited. So if you're going to have a lot of guests, you'll have to set up a valet service for them. There also isn't central air. I believe that when one scouts Big Daddy's as a wedding venue, it's best to remember that it's first and foremost an antiques warehouse. You'll also need to be responsible in setting up event insurance. Weddings can be held on any day; there isn't a cheaper alternative if you were to choose a weekday versus a Saturday.

I believe Big Daddy's is a winner if you know that your wedding guests are more open minded and laid back. It's extremely unique and totally customizable. I don't think the venue is on the champagne end of a wedding budget, but it's not the cheapest option around either. I feel like it's definitely a viable option for a budget conscious bride who wants something different though.

Had a most memorable birthday celebration at their LA location on short notice.friends still talk about how AMAZING it was. Great folks, would do another event there in a heartbeat.

I would like to start by saying, this store sells beautiful furniture. They should stick to furniture sales. However, they do offer event rentals. If we could have actually gotten them to respond to us, I think we could have had an amazing wedding there! In the beginning, the event director informed me she only worked Monday through Wednesday. I thought she must mean formally, in the office. However, she responded to emails only M-W during business hours, and often Tuesday evening to an email sent Friday.

Even still, I loved the venue so much, I pushed through and overlooked so much awful service in hopes this would be our spot, and not a cheap one may I add. We were quoted 25,000 for 120 guests. My breaking moment, was when our final quote was $3000 dollars above the highest of the $7000 dollar range they had previously given us, and could not get anyone to responded to out questions for 4 days. Had someone been attentive in anyway, we would have been on our way to being married at Big Daddy's. Instead, we were reminded that, "Big Daddy's in no way makes money off weddings. The only incentive for these events is to promote theirs furniture business." As a bride you deserve to feel special. My advice is to do that. Elsewhere.

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. If you want to have the worst wedding planning experience, this is your place. You will either be ignored (via email or phone), not get a reply or if you want to look on the bright side, someone might get back to you maybe 2 weeks after the timeline that's promised to you. I'm actually glad this happened early enough that I can decide not to go with this venue and now I don't have to deal with this for the rest of my wedding planning. The venue I am now getting married at is super gorgeous and most importantly, they have THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Great Selection of Antique furniture. Good place to find large antiques at a good price. A lot of cool refurbished and repurposed lighting figures. They get in new shipments often. I will definitely be going over there again soon.

Read about this place in a Sunset Magazine article last winter thought it sounded like a neat place to check out as Thomas Jefferson has a appreciation for "old" items. It can be hard to find this place if you don't know exactly what you are looking for I recommend calling ahead as the people that anwer the phone are SUPER friendly and helpful.

Check out their website this is a virtual Gardners paradise for unusual planters, water fountains and pottery to be placed throughout your garden. It is VERY pricey so be prepared but you are looking at some magnificent items. Seems that whomever purchases for this place spends a lot of time on movie back lots because there are a LOT of professional old fashioned lights, room dividers that looked like something out of the movie "Citizen Kane" large dinner tables that coud easily be found in a dining room some where in a European Castle.
