The Oviatt had been on the list of dream venues long before a wedding was even on the horizon and as soon as we got engaged, we reached out immediately to set up an appointment to tour the venue. We only toured two venues for our day and when we toured the Oviatt, we knew immediately that it was going to be our venue. It has this great old Hollywood glamour 1920s feel to it and it was just perfect for the vibe that we wanted to go with for our wedding. It's got great views of the city but also great indoor nooks and crannies for great intimate photos for your wedding portraits. Gabe, the venue manager, and his team were absolutely lovely to work with. He really cares about the history and integrity of the venue and made the whole process of planning this wedding as painless and stress-free as possible. He was extremely prompt in answering our millions of questions and assuaged all of our fears. We had a potential weather fiasco that thankfully ended up working out but Gabe was so incredibly helpful and diligent in exploring all options for us if things weren't going to turn out in our favor. Our guests absolutely raved about the venue. They were absolutely blown away by the decor and elegance of the venue and the beautiful scenery from the rooftop. However, just because it's an elegant venue, doesn't mean that it's stuffy! This truly was the best of both worlds of combining the elegance that we wanted but also the fun! Additionally, this is a venue that you truly don't need to do a lot to in order to make it shine. The venue truly shines on its own. We're so glad that we picked The Oviatt for our wedding and couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. Again, Gabe and his team were invaluable in making sure that we had the best experience ever. We cannot sing the praises of him and the team enough and we would 1000% recommend The Oviatt to anybody.

Ladies! And future hubbs! And anyone who’s looking to have the most beautiful wedding! Please do check out Stonehurst in Shadow Hills! Me and hubs got married last October so this review is long overdue and I honestly don’t think we could’ve finished our one special day anywhere else! To start, there’s a lot of different areas within the compound for lots of different themed pictures and the venue itself is super versatile. It’s made up of indoor and outdoor spaces so naturalistic setting or indoor setting or option for using both settings is possible. Personally, we chose to have the ceremony outside by the greenhouse terrace and dinner was served indoors and outdoors as well. We also set up a dance floor in the chic open barn house with dim lit chandeliers and most of the dancing was done in it and around the outdoors area in front. Additionally, the team at Stonehurst were just as outstanding as the venue itself so professionalism and service was a given as they were very accommodating and understanding of all our needs. One last thing, to top it off, valet service was included for that very special touch to feel like royalty on our special day! We had such a fun filled and memory filled wedding at Stonehurst and I recommend them 1000%!

I would recommend this lovely venue for a variety of reasons...but, if you're looking for that different and intimate setting for your special event, visit The Enchanted Manor in person or online...you won't be disappointed at all!

The most romantic, luxury wedding venue in all of L.A. county including Beverly Hills and Malibu. The Houdini Estate is a stunning private property in the Hollywood Hills. The grounds are absolutely fabulous, the team is first-class including the Properry Manager and Wedding Planner which comes with the venue. The planning team is award-winning, provides exceptional service, and knows the venue better than anyone. Don't waste time hiring another planner. Jessica and her Three Little Birds team were the MVP of our wedding day. When you rent the venue you rent it overnight so you don't have to leave at midnight or 1AM. There is a home on the property which sleeps up to 8 people. My husband and I held our rehearsal dinner there on Nov 30th, had our wedding on Dec 1st and spent the night before checking out at 1pm the next day. It was the perfect getaway. We swam in the pool and sat in the hot tub after breakfast (just us two). It was dreamy. Because of their exceptional planning team, we didn't lift a finger except to feed one another. 50 out of 10 highly recommend for any luxury bride.

The Sanctuary by Wedgewood Weddings

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,915

An intimate, historic cathedral in the heart of Long Beach, the ideal spot for a gorgeous vintage wedding. This historic wedding and event venue will delight your guests with its rustic and elegant atmosphere. Enjoy an outdoor wedding ceremony in the alfresco courtyard, surrounded by the beautiful cathedral, wrought iron features, and stained glass windows. Similarly, indoor ceremonies delight in the historic cathedral with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a spacious floor plan. Pair your ceremony space with the Grand Hall for an elegant reception with similar vintage features found throughout the rest of the cathedral. Complete your entire wedding with any one of our customizable packages. Make The Sanctuary by Wedgewood Weddings your preferred choice to celebrate your first moments as newlyweds.

Wedgewood Weddings has been around for generations, and for good reason. When I began planning for our wedding, I was overwhelmed with choices – choices I didn't even know I needed to concern myself with. Because of this, I knew from the get go that I would need an all-inclusive venue, but I didn't expect to find one with the flexibility, collaboration, and intention that Wedgewood provides for their couples. I would recommend this company over and over again, and I can only sing the highest of praises for The Sanctuary in Long Beach as a venue and for the staff that works there. Thank you, truly, for the effort you put into coordinating an organized, beautiful wedding. We appreciate the attentiveness, were impressed by the execution, and grateful for the overall warmth and kindness of your staff to us and our loved ones. I received SO many compliments about the whole day and how seamless everything was. I couldn't have done it without any of you! If we had the budget to have a second and third wedding, I'd do it all over again and I'd do it with Wedgewood. (Which, I hope speaks volumes to the quality of their service because I know many brides that definitely would not go through the wedding planning process ever again.) I also wanted to extend a special thank you to our coordinator, Mason: Thank you for doing all you could to ensure an enjoyable experience. Not a single detail we discussed over all the months of planning was missed. You truly helped orchestrate the successful execution of my vision for the wedding, and I'm really glad you were there.

I planned a wedding here in less than 6 months. From start to finish hands down an incredible experience. Jolene, amazing, kind, and thorough in explaining details when showing us the venue and figuring out contracts. Ryan - amazing. Always available for questions. Quick responses to emails. Very warm and friendly. Entertainment Express - Evan, planned our wedding minute by minute so the day of was perfect. Music was amazing. I got so many compliments on how organized everything was. We were always on track with the schedule and everything went so smoothly. The food.. I am still getting compliments on how great it was. I felt like the quality of my wedding should have taken over a year to plan and everyone at Padua made this happen in 5 months. I can’t thank everyone enough. Amenities- parking is easy, bathrooms so nice and easily accessible, bridal suite beautiful! Servers, staff, bartenders all wonderful. Tammy, my day of coordinator who came with the venue was incredible. She was always there, always knew what came next, and new exactly what I needed before it was done. From guiding me through the day to fixing my bustle she truly was the best. Any couple getting married here will have an amazing time guaranteed. Thank you again Padua, our day was so special because of you all.

La Venta Inn

5.0

Palos Verdes Estates, CA
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Made by Meg is proud to continue the legacy of the historic La Venta Inn nestled in the hills of Palos Verdes Estates. La Venta Inn has enjoyed a full, rich history on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Nationally recognized as a California Point of Historical Interest, the Inn dates back to the early 1920’s, when a group of international businessmen set out to develop the ‘ideal residential community.’ The landmark ocean view estate is a beautifully restored 1920’s Spanish villa and used to entertain guests from the world over through exceptional weddings and events. We are thrilled to bring the delicious Made by Meg cuisine and our incredible hospitality to this one of a kind property.

I had a wonderful time working with La Venta Inn and wouldn't have changed anything about our wedding day! The food (Made by Meg Catering) was amazing and all of our guests were raving about it. We were originally supposed to have our ceremony at Wayfarers Chapel and we were told a few weeks before about it closing. La Venta made it extremely easy to navigate through the change in venue and was so helpful. Originally, there were some hiccups in communication, but they were eventually all cleared up by the helpful staff. The venue itself is breathtaking and I would suggest anyone looking for a classy, timeless venue to look no further.

The Majestic Downtown

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 550 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor

The Majestic Downtown is unlike any other wedding venue in Los Angeles. The magic is in the history of the arched windows, in the curve of the marble pillars, in the intricacy of the hand-painted ceiling. We are the venue for the couples who notice the details and want something utterly timeless and one-of-a-kind. We recognize that everyone has different visions of their big day, which is why we are one of the few venues that allows you to bring in all of your own vendors. While we have an excellent in-house caterer, their services are an option, not a requirement. Even the crystals that cascade from the chandeliers are removable, so that we may transition from rustic to glamorous in the span of a couple of hours. The complete freedom to make your vision a reality is what makes us unique.

The Majestic was a DREAM to work with, we also used Ashton as our coordinator and she was a GOD SEND. Our guests still talk about our wedding and how smoothly everything went, and that was hands down thanks to Ashton and her team. They were all super easy to work with, very communicative, overall an amazing experience!
