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.

Venue of my dreams

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.

Best venue in socal

I am definitely bias but The Lodge is the BEST venue in SoCal. My husband and I live in Northern Cal but knew early into our engagement that we wanted to married in SoCal. There were a couple "musts" for us when determining a venue. For me, I really wanted a venue that offered amazing food. I know that isn't every brides priority but it was definitely mine! We also wanted a venue that was timeless while style unique and stylish. We had booked so many tours and were blown away when we toured The Lodge.

Our tour was given by Jacey who is so fun to work with. She was on that day and moving forward so patient and informative. She set an amazing first impression for the venue as their coordinator.

After choosing The Lodge as our venue we later became familiar with Chef Cordelia and Valerie (who handles the contracts). Such an amazing team! What I loved about The Lodge is they host "Supper Clubs" which is a monthly dinner party where you get a good idea of the food and cocktail service they offer and it's even a good opportunity to meet vendors. I wished we lived locally, we would've gone more than once!

Chef Cordelia worked with me on making our Italian themed dinner and we even served brick oven pizza which was a major hit! Honestly I've had brides tell me that I wasn't even going to eat at my wedding..and that was not the case. It was some of the best food i've ever had!

I could honestly go on and on about this venue and the team that works there but if there's one thing I can say, it's that it is evident that they all really care about the business and the weddings that go on there. Everything felt so thoughtful, personalized, and detailed.

Couldn't recommend this venue more!

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.
