What the venue publishes
City of Los Angeles Dept. of Recreation and Parks, Exposition Rose Garden "Reservation and Fees": "Gazebo Area 1 to 50 people: $250 / 51 to 200 people: $350 / Additional hour: $50". There is a "3 hour minimum time limit for each event", and the quoted rate covers that minimum block.
The source publishes a range of $250 to $350, so which end applies depends on the options the source lists.

Mandatory extras published on the same page: "Application Fee: $35", "Staff Fee: Standard Rate - per staff", and a "Refundable Deposit: $100 minimum" (refundable, so not counted in the price).
