The Lodge at Malibou Lake is hands down the best wedding venue in L.A. County. It is nestled in the Santa Monica Mountain range just outside of Malibu. It provides a perfect blend of nature, quiet and a beautiful ballroom, which was perfect for our 100-guest wedding. The environment itself is superb, and what truly elevates The Lodge is that they make wedding planning so straightforward. Through the whole process we felt supported by Chef Cordelia and Chef Tiff, whose extensive catering menu is outstanding and has a depth and breadth of options, and she will work with you to make the menu of your dreams. Our guests still have not stopped talking about the food throughout the night and afterwards. Their staff is superb, and their bartenders crafted an amazing blackberry margarita and whiskey sidecar custom cocktails that were delicious.

Let me tell you about the time I got hitched at "Sany on the Hill," or as I like to call it, "The Spot Where 'I Do' Doesn't Mean 'I Regret This Tomorrow.'" Nestled in LA's embrace, this place is less of a venue and more of a fairy tale experience that forgot it's in the middle of the city. Picture this: 100 guests, and not once did I hear, "Excuse me, could you scooch a bit? Your elbow's in my cake." Walking into "Sany on the Hill" was like stepping into that dream home you build in your mind during boring meetings. Except, this one's real, and you're allowed to throw the biggest party of your life here. The gardens? Manicured to perfection, as if each leaf had its own personal stylist. And the views? Let's just say my phone’s camera had a day it'll never forget. Indoors, it's elegance with a capital E. It felt like stepping into one of those home decor magazines, except no one yelled at me for sitting on the furniture. We're talking classy interiors that made me think, "Wow, so this is how the other half lives!" And yet, it was all so welcoming, like the place was giving you a big, warm hug and whispering, "Let's make some memories." The hosts at "Sany on the Hill" are the real MVPs. Attentive, kind, and with the magical ability to anticipate your needs before you even know you need them. Forgot your vows? No problem, they've got a solution. Need a last min MUA? They have a rolodex of vendors to choose from! They made the whole shebang feel like a breeze. In conclusion, if you're looking to get married in LA and you don't choose "Sany on the Hill," well, you're probably the type who thinks socks with sandals is a fashion statement. This place isn't just a venue; it's where wedding dreams hitch a ride on a shooting star. Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat. But let's keep that between us—I'm not sure my other half is ready to plan another wedding just yet! LOL
