I recently had my wedding here on March 16, 2024. I had to come and leave a review because my husband and I are so happy with our experience. From the moment we booked the venue (March 2023) until the day of our wedding, the staff at Pacific View Tower was very responsive and always available for questions. Brittany is a true rock star and not only made our vision come to life but exceeded all our expectations. Along with that, their floral vendor, Maribel, really listened to my wants and made our wedding look stunning. All of our guests were blown away by the venue, the service, and the food. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough.

When starting to plan our destination wedding, we found Wedgewood and thought it sounded too good to be true. We quickly learned it was actually everything they were advertising plus more and more pleasant surprises along the way. Us and all of our guests were coming to the Malibu area from WI and IL, and opted for November 16, 2024 for our date for our 100 person wedding. We did everything from home except attending the extravaganza event to try food and meet vendors. When Wedgewood says everything is customizable, they really mean it with no hidden costs. I am a vegan and they were able to make many of our buffet items vegan, seriously accommodated allergies and all of our requests. We worked with Mackenzie during our planning process and Lexi was our day of coordinator for the rehearsal and big day. They were both beyond kind and knowledgeable, and very excited for us. Everything was SO organized. Diego was our DJ from DJ Pablo's company and followed our music requests to a T. John and Carla were our bartenders and were so fast, fun and made amazing craft drinks. The servers the day of were so attentive to us, making sure we always had everything we needed. Immediately after the ceremony they had our favorite drinks waiting for us inside and continued to check in on us all night, I never had to go to the bar myself! At dinner they made our plates and provided a huge plate of our appetizers for us. They also packed to go boxes of our food for us at the end of the night and a bottle of champagne, such a big surprise! We were beyond pleased with the food, it was even better than we expected as far as quality. The buffet style appetizers were amazing too. Sweet Pea floral beyond exceeded expectations, following my Pinterest board perfectly. There were a lot of things we didn't want, like cake, and they never pushed anything we didn't want! They put together our tablescapes perfectly, no detail was left out. The only and I mean only complaint was that the lights at the front of the venue didnt turn off, so it was quite bright during dancing, but our guests didn't seem to notice. They said they had no way of turning them off. The day of our rehearsal holds one of our most special memories of our lives, as our wedding party and family were arriving, they guided everyone to the golf bar and grill while we were answering some questions. As soon as we were done, we were shocked and so delighted to see all of our most special people in our lives waiting for us in the golf bar clapping and waiting for us. It was so magical and the love and hugs to follow started off our wedding weekend perfectly. Thank you Sterling Hills!

Laura is amazing. She handled everything for me and my mother and there wasn’t a second during our special day that I questioned what was going on. I felt so relaxed and she made the process so easy. The venue itself is SPECTACULAR. It reminds me of Paradise Point in San Diego and it is a dream location. Everything about this location was amazing. Plenty of parking for the entire wedding. Short distance from parking lot - to ceremony site - to reception. So many stunning scenery for photos. Great experience. Would recommend 100%.

Choosing Fogo de Chao for our rehearsal dinner was one of the easiest choices of the entire wedding. They made everything so easy for us. There were several food and beverage packages that we got to pick from and on the day of we were tucked away in a private area with our own set of servers. It couldn't have gone any better, everyone was really nice and treated both me and the guests like vips on the day of and the food was delicious. 10/10 would do again.
