As the owner of Kabe Magnolia Events, I'm always on the look out for venues that will offer my client's the same attention to detail as I would. The Warner Center Marriott has always exceeded my expectations with each and every one of the events I've planned and held there. Their ballroom is spacious enough to accommodate a large lavish wedding, Mitzvah or corporate event and can even be downsized for my client's more intimate gatherings. The food is amazing , not your typical banquet fare and the staff always goes above and beyond to cater to my clients most discerning requests. This is a top notch event venue that should be considered for anyone looking to hold a celebration that wows their guests.

I loved working with Robin at the Sonesta Hotel. She was an excellent event manager who cared for all our needs and was very accommodating. I had one problem that had nothing to do with Robin or the Sonesta: Someone on the wedding coordinator's staff stole my wallet during the event. We hired Koral, the wedding coordinator, which was our responsibility. Overall, it was a beautiful venue with excellent hotel staff. I would recommend the Sonesta 100%.

After touring venues consistently on Sunday mornings, we canceled future tours after visiting Hartley Botanica. When looking for a venue, we wanted it to be outdoors and breathtaking since both of us enjoy a special connection to nature. We also were not able to consider a destination wedding because many of our guests live locally and our love story mainly takes place in Southern California. For all of these reasons and more, Hartley Botanica became our venue. The team works incredibly hard to meet rising expectations and they definitely deliver. They are a dream team to work with and I love every step of the planning process. Planning a large event, especially a wedding is complicated and the team does their best to keep it simple and grant your every request. We are so thrilled with how our wedding turned out.

The Sheraton Agoura Hills was a fantastic hotel for our wedding weekend. It was conveniently located next to our venue, and all of our guests enjoyed their stay. We hosted our rehearsal dinner there and also loved having breakfast at the hotel, and everything went smoothly. The staff was kind and accommodating, the food was good, and the bar was a fun place for guests to gather after the wedding. They worked with us on our room block and budget, and while we did need to remind them about some dietary needs like vegan, pescatarian, and kids’ meals, everything was handled and our guests were happy. It was a great home base for our wedding weekend.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked The Gardens at Los Robles Greens almost two years ago, their communication was always prompt and informative. Leading up to the wedding, they answered all my emails promptly and always made me excited for my wedding. The venue provided a day for all couples getting married in the next 4-6 months to taste the delicious food options and see the elegant rental displays, which made it easy for us to envision our perfect day. We were getting married in May so our "tasting day" was in the November before. A month before the wedding, we met with the director to finalize the floor plan for our ceremony and reception, and they handled all the setup so everything looked electric, clean, and beautiful. The one challenge I had as a bride was their rule about not having a place to refrigerate the cake prior to it being set out during the wedding, but our baker was able to deliver it at the right time so that it stayed fresh during the evening. The Gardens at Los Robles Greens truly made our special day incredibly easy and stress-free. We are so grateful for their excellent service and stunning venue.

The Botanicum was a beautiful location for a weddimg ceremony. Ours was in late fall, and took place on the main stage. This provided a huge stage for the ceremony itself, a convenient amphitheater style seating for the guests, and a well hidden private backstage area with room for seating and mirrors for many people to change, final hairstyling, and so on. The Botanicum was equipped with speaker systems for our music during the ceremony itself, controlled by a professional from the Botanicum for a small extra cost. They were also able to provide certain extra props and items like large carpets and theater chests and chairs to use as we liked. For the reception the space was also fantastic, which as evening came is lit by series of fairy lights across the tables and become very elegant and atmospheric. The botanicum itself was extremely helpful and had a lot of advice on how best to arrange things and provided a lot of options and ideas on the whole ceremony. The overall cost was a fraction of some other weddings we've been to at far simpler looking locations.

  • Raw space
  • Outdoor

For any event, there is truly no better combination of view, privacy, flat space, accessibility, parking, and natural beauty for events anywhere in Malibu! With 360 panoramic views of the mountain and ocean. This private venue is not available for use by the general public, and is only available by qualified referrals, and only limited dates are available. This is not a commercial wedding factory, and we just do a few events a year by referral, so it is really special and fun and intimate.

We got married here last year and outside of the amazing views, Chaya and her family are so sweet to work with. She responds to emails fast, is super sweet and attentive to detail, and will truly work with you to make your wedding day a success. She was also so patient with all our questions which was so appreciated. Highly recommend staying there too if you’re able - the views are absolutely breathtaking and paints the perfect setting for creating memories of a lifetime. :) Thank you for everything!
