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.

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!

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!

We are so thrilled we decided to go with the Lodge! We got married there on February 3, 2023, and it was an absolutely flawless day thanks to our planner, Emily Kay, and the incredible team at the Lodge.

It was the first venue we visited, and we found that every venue we visited after it, we kept comparing to the Lodge. It feels like a hidden gem in LA. We loved that the Ldoge was a turnkey venue with so many “amenities” on site. We didn’t have to worry about bringing in tables, flatware, linens, etc. Also, the fact that they provide catering as well through the chef/owner Chef Cordelia, was also a huge bonus for us. We loved that we could have an outdoor ceremony and have the reception indoors, especially in February when the evenings get cool. And we also loved that the ceremony and the reception could be at the same location, which made logistics easier. The getting ready rooms for the wedding party are very cute and well-appointed. At our first visit we were worried they might be small, but we ended up having a wedding party of 14 people, and there was plenty of space for everyone.

Everyone kept telling us that the food was amazing, and they were right! So often food can be an afterthought at a wedding, but that is not the case with the Lodge. It easily is the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding, and we had so many people coming up to us throughout the night and telling us how great the food was. Chef Cordelia was also easily able to accommodate any dietary restrictions that our guests had, even with family style service.

One of the best parts of the Lodge, is the monthly supper club they host. This is when you can do your menu tasting, and you can go as many times as you want. At the supper club, it’s basically a mini wedding reception, because they bring in a florist, a DJ, event planners, and a photographer, so you can have the experience of being a wedding guest at the Lodge. We had so much fun at Supper Club, we went twice, and we found our florist, Something’s Blooming LA, through Supper Club as well.

Leading up to our wedding, the Lodge was very easy to work with and very communicative and responsive about any questions we had. On the big day itself, everything went so smoothly, and we had no problems. All of our guests were raving about the location and how beautiful the venue was, and we are so thrilled that our friends and family enjoyed the Lodge as much as we did.

We are so pleased we chose the Lodge, the venue made all of our wedding dreams come true and we have so many fond memories we will keep thinking about for years to come!

We cannot recommend this venue enough!!! The location and team are incredible, and it was such a pleasure to work with them!!

We were extremely lucky to get married at The Lodge at Malibou Lake! We worked closely with Sara, who was extremely thorough and easy to communicate with since the day we first reached out. The team we worked with on our wedding day is highly experienced, and made sure that everything went smoothly. Through their extensive menu and flexibility on the bar and setup, we were truly able to personalize our wedding day for us. They also have so much great furniture that we were able to use, which meant we hardly had to rent or bring anything else in. We actually booked The Lodge without visiting first - while it was a nervous decision, we couldn't have made a better one.

Beyond being the most beautiful venue, the staff at the Lodge are really what makes the place so magical. Chef Cordelia and her team are first class. They helped make our day run flawlessly and whipped up the best freaking wedding food on the planet (our guests can attest). Seriously, in a world where you agonize eating at a wedding, Chef Cordelia and her culinary team are serving up Michelin star-worthy dishes. They catered to all our wild ideas and blew them out of the water…such as our pickle bar, specialty cocktails, and cheesecake bar. The wait staff was extremely kind and the bartenders were everyone’s best friends. Leading up to the wedding, the Lodge was extremely responsive and organized. There’s not a single thing we’d change about our wedding day and cannot recommend this venue enough. You will surely see us at Supper Club meals in the future because we cannot get enough of this place. It’s truly one of a kind.

We just had our wedding here this past weekend and we are still on a high from the amazing day that we had. When we were in the process of finding our venue, this was the first venue that we toured and we chose it right on the spot. We knew that we didn't need to look any further because this venue had EVERYTHING we could have ever asked for. Chef Cordelia is not only amazing but the food is absolutely UNREAL. My guests said it was by far the best wedding food they had ever had. One of my guests actually asked for a to-go box because it was all so good. The staff there is also incredible and sweet and made my day run so smoothly. The weather was perfect and the set-up was just amazing. The Lodge really cares about you and wants to make sure you have the best wedding. I honestly could not have asked for a perfect day. NOTHING went wrong which is highly unusual because something usually always goes wrong on a wedding day but I didn't have that experience. We are just so thankful for this amazing place and for being the venue of our dreams. I can't wait to recommend this venue to everyone I know. I promise you you will not be disappointed in having your wedding here.

We absolutely loved working with the Lodge and Chef Cordelia! We booked the venue without actually having seen it in person (thanks covid) but couldn’t have been happier with our decision! First off, The Lodge is stunning! Such a great space for a wedding and we loved the flexibility of being able to switch to all outdoors (especially with covid) or all indoors (if weather was an issue). Thankfully both cooperated and we are able to do our indoor/outdoor plan. We loved the flow of our event, moving from the lawn for the ceremony, to the bar/patio for cocktails, and then the ballroom for dinner/dancing. The previews of the pictures we took by the lake look amazing   
Cordelia and team were very easy to work with- responsive, flexible, and kind. We loved that the venue included so much, we didn’t have to get any rentals which was really nice. The food was VERY good, and not just for wedding food! We especially loved the oxtail raviolis and were so impressed by their ability to perfectly cook 100 filets. 

I think the lodge provides great value for the amount you pay. I would highly recommend this venue! 

I'm so glad we chose The Lodge at Malibou Lake as our wedding venue. One of the biggest draws for us was that the Lodge is already so beautifully decorated/furnished, we didn't feel the need to get any rentals. Even the couple's getting-ready suites are adorable and great for photos. We had to postpone from our original date due to COVID and Chef Cordelia made the process super easy. Our rescheduled celebration was absolutely beautiful; our guests couldn't stop commenting on both how good the food was and how beautiful the setting was. We ended up deciding to move the dinner out onto the Great Lawn last minute because of rising COVID cases, and now I can't imagine doing it any other way! Having the string lights and lake/mountains as our backdrop for dinner was amazing. Overall I think this venue was an incredible value for what you get and the quality of service/food.

We stumbled upon this venue on a drive through the mountains. Who knew there was a lake up there?! When we saw the lodge, we had to stop and take a look around. We were able to get some info and quickly came back for a tour and tasting dinner, which cemented our decision to go with them. Not only is it a gorgeous venue, but the food is absolutely delicious! They have a catering company and on-site kitchen, along with a lot of their own furniture, which helps simplify the process of vendor selection and coordination. They coordinated so well with our planner, and the entire crew on the day of was so helpful and professional. We'd happily recommend the venue and team and it was such a memorable event that we will never forget!
