About this venue

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.

    Thank you La Venta!!! This venue is worth every penny. My day was absolutely perfect. The venue is a dream, but the staff are amazing as well. Thank you Savanna for being such a bright and happy point of contact. You answered all of our questions and it was so clear and easy. Big thank you to Leslie too, for coordinating the best meals I've had at a wedding. :))

    Kat from MadeByMeg was phenomenal—hands-down my favorite vendor. She made wedding planning effortless and fun, navigating the chaos of venue and catering options with ease. Kat was incredibly responsive and always went above and beyond. Working with La Venta’s staff, especially Cameron and Savannah, was seamless. The venue is stunning, intimate, and perfect. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly—I was amazed. Guests were so impressed they started taking photos in the parking lot! La Venta and MadeByMeg staff were exceptional, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

  • Absolutely Perfect!

    We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding than La Venta Inn! Everything about this place was absolutely perfect—from the breathtaking location to the exceptional service and incredible food. From the very beginning, the team at La Venta Inn was professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The staff went above and beyond to make our day seamless, and we truly felt taken care of. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented! The venue itself is stunning, with its gorgeous ocean views and elegant, intimate atmosphere. It created the most magical backdrop for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque setting. We are beyond grateful for the amazing experience La Venta Inn provided. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that delivers on every level, this is it! Highly recommend!

    La Venta was a wonderful venue for our October wedding. They handled so many of the complicated parts of our event, the price was very reasonable, the food was delicious, and of course the venue itself was stunning. La Venta even helped us find our amazing planner, Helen Vonghack (@eighteenplacecards), and our whole event went off without a hitch. Photos attached by our amazing wedding photographer, @zoomtheory
