About

The Lodge at Malibou Lake is an historic venue in Agoura Hills, Southern California. Built in 1936, The Lodge recalls a heyday of grand parties and good times. We are hidden in the rustic Santa Monica Mountains, shaded by sycamore and oak trees, and beside a storied private late - yet we are less than an hour's drive from Hollywood.

Whether you dream of an intimate gathering or a grand affair, The Lodge will host you in style. Your guests can enjoy both indoor and outdoor event spaces in a gorgeous, natural setting.

Breathtaking views of the lake, nearby mountains, and surrounding wilderness create a deeply romantic backdrop for your celebration. When you book The Lodge you will have exclusive use of the property; an opportunity to create your own truly bespoke wedding.

Beyond expectations

We had our wedding here.
The management was very well organized.
The staff was on top of everything.
The food was outstanding (really outstanding).
The bartenders did a great job and the cocktails were the bomb.
Of course, the venue is beautiful.
We took advantage of both the expansive lawn and the lodge.
I can't say enough good things.
Plenty of venues in LA would have charged me more for a crappy hotel reception.
This was not cheap, but it was worth every damn penny.
Thank you Chef Cordelia, for organizing a great event.

The Best Wedding Venue, Food, and Service!

We got married here earlier this month, and it was the best decision we made! From the aesthetics to the service and food, Chef Cordelia's team at the Lodge at Malibou Lake absolutely NAILED it.

We first want to give a shout out to Reagan who was our go-to contact person for any questions. She was so quick at responding to all of our emails and questions. Communication was so quick and easy with her, and she always kept us up to date in regards to what she needed from us and from our vendors.

Next we want to give a shout out to Chef Tiffany for the delicious appetizers and dinner food. They were able to accommodate to everyone's food restrictions. Everyone was raving about the food, especially the appetizers that were passed around during our cocktail hour. Not only that, but the venue even made us a to-go box from our dinner for us to enjoy after our wedding!

With that, the day-of wedding staff, especially the servers and bartenders, was AMAZING. Everyone was pleasant and professional throughout the entire wedding. We constantly had guests come up to us after our wedding to tell us that the service was EXCEPTIONAL. Everyone was so attentive and made sure our guests were having a good time.

Lastly, the biggest thank you goes to Cordelia herself. She took the time to go over our wedding timeline and was also ALWAYS quick to respond to our questions/emails. You can truly see how much pride she takes with her Chef Cordelia team, and we really could not have asked for a better venue than The Lodge at Malibou Lake. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!

You've found your venue!

We love the Lodge!! I don't have the words to describe just how grateful I am for Chef Cordelia, Chef Tiff, and the entire Lodge team.

The venue is stunning - the lawn exceeded all our dreams for getting married outside in the mountains and the indoor reception space was classy, elegant, and the perfect size for our 120 person wedding.

The food! Wow. We were very impressed with all the food we tasted at the Lodge's Supper Club and were still floored the day of the wedding with the quality and deliciousness of the food they served. Chefs Cordelia and Tiff went above and beyond to curate a delicious menu and accommodated all of our dietary restrictions without blinking.

The staff went above and beyond to make my husband and me, our family, and guests feel welcome and celebrated. I am so grateful for their professionalism and attentiveness. My sister was in awe the next day and described how they delivered the food to the tables as a dance. Our guests with dietary restrictions all told us how taken care of they felt by the staff - the servers checked in with each guest to let them know that they were aware of and accommodating their dietary restrictions.

Finally - the communication and planning! If you didn't already surmise, the team at the Lodge are absolute pros and made planning easy. We had multiple check in calls with the team to discuss logistics, food, and planning. Regan always took notes and circulated them after the meetings. I felt so taken care of throughout the entire planning process.

During and after our wedding, our guests told us that our wedding was one of the most exquisite and well executed wedding they had ever attended. This is all due to the Lodge and we are so grateful for them.

We will be fans of the Lodge for life!

As a wedding planner and florist we cannot recommend The Lodge enough! This venue and team truly goes above and beyond from the planning stages, communication, attention to detail prior to the wedding. All the way to end of the night and cleaning up. The positivity and engagement from everyone involved was appreciated beyond words. Chef Cordelia and her team made the most delicious dinner and appetizers and had all of the vendors in love as well as the guests. I highly recommend booking your next event at The Lodge!

We absolutely LOVE making cakes and dessert bars for weddings and events at The Lodge at Malibou Lake. We just did 3 events there this past week and I fall more in love with this venue every time I'm here! The venue is close to the beach, however it gives a feeling of being in a beautiful lodge in the mountains on a lake. The staff there are all so wonderful and easy to work with. I was lucky enough to try the food provided by their onsite caterer Chef Cordelia and it tasted incredible! I highly reccomend The Lodge at Malibou Lake.
