The Recording Club in Santa Monica. A Live Room with concert sound, stage lights and six cameras, plus a lounge, an upstairs mezzanine and a courtyard for the whole family.
Shabbat dinner in the Live Room
Two floors at 1660 9th Street. Every room below is measured from our floor plan. Tap any picture to see it full size.
The party room. Grand entrance, the hora, candle lighting and the dance floor all happen here.
One way to set it when the whole building is yours, about 100 guests. The stage holds a band or DJ, the floor is 16 feet square, and cocktail tables ring the edges. Dinner tables go upstairs and in the lounge.
Cocktail hour, then the adults’ room for dinner and conversation while the kids dance next door.
A floor of its own. Seat dinner up here, or give it to the teens as their zone for the night.
Where your caterer stages and plates, and where dessert comes out. Espresso and coffee machines are already here.
Open air for cocktail hour and dessert on a good night. Courtyard music stops at 10 PM; inside, the party keeps going.
Book the morning, the night, or both. Here is how the building works across each one.
A sample day. Best April to September, noon to 5.
A sample night for October to March. Doors after havdalah, out by midnight.
Summer Shabbat ends near 9 PM, so for April to September dates we suggest Sunday. A Saturday morning Kiddush can happen here too, for families who drive on Shabbat.
The console and speakers we use for live records. Blessings and toasts come through clearly, and your band or DJ plugs into a system an engineer runs all night.
The Live Room cameras are switched live, so the candle lighting, the hora and the speeches end up on film.
TRC’s network of creatives can play the hora and candle lighting live, next to your DJ.
With the Full Day package, we mix the night’s music into an album your family keeps.
Bring the caterer you trust. Kosher caterers and their mashgiach stage and plate in our kitchen.
The mezzanine can be the teen zone for the night, and the lounge stays calm enough for grandparents to talk.
1660 9th Street, near Colorado. Six private spaces in the rear lot and street parking around the block.

Yes. Bring a certified kosher caterer and their mashgiach. They cook off-site and use our kitchen to stage and plate. Kosher-style works the same way.
Doors open after havdalah. In winter that’s around 5:30 PM in Santa Monica, so the night runs long. In summer Shabbat ends near 9 PM, so we suggest Sunday for those months.
The live room is built for loud music, so dance all night inside. Courtyard music stops at 10 PM. Everyone is out by midnight.
Bring your own. We don’t sell or pour it. Your caterer’s bartender serves, and it all leaves with you at the end.
Yes. Florals, signage, balloons and table decor are all fine. Walk us through candle lighting and anything bigger at your tour and we’ll plan it with you.
Yes. Caterer, DJ, photographer, planner. We approve each one ahead of time so load-in goes smoothly. Our sound, lighting and cameras are already here.
The rental is paid at signing, plus a $500 damage deposit you get back. Cancel more than two weeks out and you get half back.
Nothing changes. The party is indoors across three rooms. The courtyard is a bonus on a nice day.
Walk the rooms with us, hear the sound system, and picture the day. Tours run about 30 minutes.
