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.
