Inn of the Seventh Ray Reviews

Amanda was super amazing and so thorough throughout the whole planning process! she definitely took over everything which was so nice for us especially since we don’t live down in southern california! if you are torn on between two venues definitely choose inn of the seventh ray! we had the most magical wedding!! during the day it’s beautiful, but when the sun goes down it turns into something from a fairytale!! they are also dog friendly which definitely sold us to choose here! we couldn’t have imagined our day without our baby boy!

Amanda and team are incredible. We knew as soon as we met with her for the first time, we wanted to work with her. She has so much experience with the venue and handles everything very effortlessly. We were looking for a very low key, low lift wedding with more of a dinner party vibe, and she made it happen. Our special day was perfect and the only complaint was that it was over so soon. Thank you Amanda for everything!

We had a fairytale wedding. Guests were happy and cared for, food was beyond with incredible quality and Amanda and her team were outstanding. Amanda performed the ceremony with great taste and timeless words, she had complete control of all details of the event, overall completely stress free. Highly recommended.

Since 2008, the Inn of the Seventh Ray has always been such a special place for my now husband and I. We came here when we were just 17 for our very first anniversary and have been coming back for big celebrations and milestones. So it only made sense to have our wedding here! Amanda helped us from the beginning and made the process so easy for us. She was extremely helpful with our timeline and provided recommendations that truly helped our decision making so much easier! We’re so happy we decided to go with the Inn for our venue and we are so excited to be able to come back and relive the magical day whenever we want! Our families and guests are still talking about the wedding and raved about how beautiful the venue is and how amazing the food was! Thank you Amanda and the Inn for being a part of our special day that we’ll remember forever!

The entire team and staff were a treat to work with. Everyone was incredibly helpful and ensured everything went smoothly and according to plan. 10/10 would recommend.

I wish I can leave more stars for the venue and Amanda (our wedding coordinator.) When my husband and I were looking for venues in the Los Angeles area, we stumbled upon Inn of the Seventh Ray. We were both floored at how professional, personable, and creative Amanda was on our intake meeting. Since our initial intake till the end of the wedding, Amanda has delivered and exceeded our expectations as it relates to her communication; clearly an expert in her field, by ways of creative solutions she would immediately respond with to any potential issues we foresaw. Amanda is also genuine and personable and saw the vision I laid out for her and delivered on all measures. The wedding was beautiful, beyond exceptional, the bar was flowing, the food was phenomenal, cocktail hour was beautiful and all our guests have commented that they’ve never been somewhere so beautiful before or that they’ve never attended a more beautiful wedding.

Thank you Amanda for making our day memorable, exactly as we discussed, and with no drama! You are amazing!!

They were able to accommodate our vegan lifestyle and we got tons of compliments on the food. The venue is stunning. The coordinator, holly, is phenomenal. Staff is fantastic! Really it was the best. Not great for big weddings (ours was small- 79 people). We also added additional time, so that cost extra, but for what you get it was very fairly priced.

In all honesty, this was the first and only venue we toured—we knew immediately that it fit our vision for a beautiful, relaxed outdoor wedding with a ceremony and reception at one location. Once we confirmed that it fit our budget we reserved a tentative date. (We actually ended up moving the date up a few months right before officially signing the contract, which was not a hassle at all.)

Trusting our gut was the right move, because everything went off beautifully. The venue coordinator, Amanda, knew the answers to all of our questions (sometimes before we even thought to ask!) and was refreshingly forthright with advice and opinions about timeline, expectations, and budget. Under her guidance the evening went perfectly (and she definitely went above and beyond, like when she ran over to where we were taking pre-ceremony photos near the venue to deliver a plate of snacks because one of us forgot to eat lunch, and running our event playlists with impeccable timing). The staff, too, were all so professional and friendly—multiple guests commented on how kind and funny various staff members were throughout the night. And the venue itself was exactly what we wanted, from the canopy of twinkle lights overhead while we danced to the absolutely delicious appetizers and dinner (food tip: so many people raved about the shaved brussels sprouts salad, so that’s definitely a winner) to the smooth flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. We kept things minimal when it came to decoration/outside vendors and didn't feel like we were missing anything. Also, there were plenty of heaters set up to keep us warm even on a chilly December evening. Overall a wonderful experience for us and for our guests. (pc: Julie Pepin)

My small wedding at Inn of the Seventh Ray was absolutely magical. It was beautiful from beginning to end. While the setting is breathtaking and the cuisine is magnificent, the best reason to book here is that you get a truly outstanding wedding coordinator to help you through the process. Amanda assists with every tiny detail, and she even helped to calm my nerves leading up to the ceremony. She is very attentive, and she never seems to run out of patience. Because of Amanda, I was able to relax at the wedding and really take in those precious moments with my new husband. And somehow, the wedding of my dreams was affordable here. It was all so special. This place is truly a gem in the canyon.

The atmosphere there is absolutely perfect for a wedding and their wedding coordinator, Amanda was the best!

Amanda was the best planner and helped us deliver on our vision. The set up was gorgeous and the food and service was excellent! We couldn’t have been happier.

Amanda the coordinator is an excellent professional, attentive, her kindness is very heart touching, she is very understanding, her support is beyond expectations. The staff very professional and attentive. Thank you everyone for helping my daughter and her husband having a dream wedding. The venue so beautiful, food so delicious, drinks excellent. Our guests were very enchanted with the venue also. Beautiful service. God is good. God bless everyone.

I am a wedding photographer and photographed an intimate wedding at the Seventh Ray. The staff was so great to work with and so kind! The Location is beautiful for wedding photos with a romantic atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite locations! Don't hesitate to book the seventh ray.

I challenge anyone to find a venue in the LA area that can deliver exceptional food (with delicious vegan, gluten-free options, INCLUDING CAKE), fantastic service and magical ambiance like the Inn. I am sure there are a lot of folks out there who want an exceptional wedding day but feel like they have to compromise on quality because of how much they have in the bank...the value you can get at the Inn is unbelievable. We are still aglow from our special day and a huge thank you to Holly for being soooo good at what she does. Everything ran smoothly (even when it didn't) and after patiently waiting 2 and a half years, rescheduling three times thanks to Covid, it was beyond worth the wait. We are so grateful to the team at the Inn and the vendors that they recommended for these memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

We booked this venue and have had a pleasant experience working with them on the design and implementation of our wedding. Unfortunately, COVID has kept us from being about to continue forward with our June 4th wedding date. Anyone interested? We can put you in touch with Holly at the venue. jonathan.deamaral at gmail.

Our wedding was the absolute best day ever, and Holly and the rest of the team at the Inn of the Seventh Ray are a huge reason why! Holly is just stupendous - she is so responsive and helpful, and she just gets everything done. The venue is stunning and so romantic. We had our dance floor around the fountain, and it was so much fun, and our photos are gorgeous! The food is also delicious. I can't even count the number of people who commented on how good the food was (along with the comments about how beautiful the venue was). The staff was also amazing. Everyone was just so friendly and fun, and it made the experience just that much better! Someone even helped me with the flowers in my hair when she saw that they were starting to fall out. It was just the most magical day in the most magical, romantic place. I cannot imagine picking a different venue. Another bonus - we can go back and have anniversary dinners there!

We had a great experience with Inn of the Seventh Ray for our wedding last month (Feb 2020)! Holly was fantastic. She was very professional and was totally willing to work with us on anything we wanted to customize. She especially shined the day-of in terms of managing literally everything from vendors to setting up homemade flower arrangements, to adding candles throughout the venue, corralling our family and friends, finding a lost speech (yep, that happened), and everything in between. It was really special that we got to truly enjoy ourselves knowing we were in the BEST hands!! And, the rest of the staff at the Inn are great too - very professional and genuine. The food was amazing and the ambiance speaks for itself. It was magical. We are forever grateful!

My husband and I got married at the Inn and it was simply magical.

The wedding coordinator Holly and Kalen on her team were fantastic from the very beginning. They have a robust list of vendors who we were incredibly pleased with and they made the entire process easy and stress-free. We planned our wedding in a relatively short amount of time, and we felt like we were in capable hands throughout.

The venue itself is stunning. We experienced historic rains on our wedding day, so we were slightly stressed about how we were going to accommodate given the outdoor/natural feel of the Inn. The patio is covered and the staff went to great lengths to put up umbrellas. While we still got just a little wet, the rain made the whole night extra twinkly and everyone had a good attitude thanks to the seamless coordination from the team.

Highly recommend the Inn and the events team!

Holly is EXCEPTIONAL at her job. She provided all the answers (and there were ALOT of questions) in a timely manner. She gave great ideas and was flexible with the timeline. I literally did not have to worry about a thing. Before I even thought of something, it was already taken care of. Highly recommend for your next event!

Holding our wedding ceremony and reception at the Inn of the Seventh Ray was the best decision we could have made. The venue is gorgeous, with beautiful decor and a natural setting that creates a magical feel. Wedding Coordinator Holly was wonderful to work with, providing advice and support at all points in the planning process. The day of the event, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her expertise! The food was amazing - we continue to receive compliments. Service staff were also so sweet and friendly. I would 1000% recommend this venue!!

BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR EVER!!
My daughter chose to have her wedding at the Inn of the Seventh Ray because of the beautiful setting, fantastic accommodations and wonderful food that the venue offers. We had no idea that we would receive so much more! Holly, who is the wedding coordinator for the Inn of the Seventh Ray is without a doubt the most amazing wedding coordinator EVER! She is extremely articulate, organized, patient, kind, talented, informative, etc. (I could go on and on). She handled all aspects of my daughter’s wedding in a way that showed she cared about it as much as she would her very own! We had an outside florist vendor that did not show up when expected. We were all clueless except for Holly! She pays attention to every single detail of the wedding! Because of her, she saved the day! If it were not for her being on top of everything and her quick thinking (without anyone of the guests knowing there was an issue) my daughter would not have had flowers at her wedding. I have never met anyone as amazing as Holly. She deserves more than what she charges!! Words cannot express how amazing she is and how she works so incredibly hard for you! Holly is such an amazing asset to the Inn of the Seventh Ray!!
If anyone is looking for a beautiful venue, delicious food, and wonderful waiters for your wedding and want the PERFECT and BEST wedding coordinator ever, look no further than Inn of the Seventh Ray as your venue and Holly as your wedding coordinator!! You will NOT be disappointed!!
Holly, can’t thank you enough! You are the VERY BEST!!!

HOLLY (coordinator)… AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! I could never thank this amazing woman enough for making my experience from start to finish so easy, efficient, and flawless. This woman was born to be a coordinator. So incredibly detailed, efficient, professional, easy to work with. Holly took every opportunity and misfortune to rise above and go out of her way for me. I truly felt so taken care of and special. No detail was too small or too large for Holly, she had my back through it all and the passion radiates through her work. Amazing work ethic. I don't know many people that could do half the job. This location is gorgeous and brings such a package but having an amazing coordinator is what makes it work. Worth every penny and I feel so lucky to have had her on my big day. Thank you will never be enough but it’s a start. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

The Inn is beautiful regardless of weather and is perfectly equipped to run a wedding. The team works perfectly together, everything runs smoothly and there are very few decisions you HAVE to make, but many ways to make things personal. Holly is a pro. The food is delicious. Your out of town guests will have to admit they never knew LA could feel so intimate and beautiful.

The Inn of the Seventh Ray was beautiful and suited all of our wedding needs. Everyone at the party enjoyed the ceremony, the reception, and the food! They take care of everything for you and we loved Amanda, our wedding coordinator. The experience was magical and we would recommend this place to anyone who wants a reasonably priced wedding venue with excellent overall service. Thank you Amanda!!!!!!!
