Sany on the Hill 

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Welcome to Sany on the Hill, a modern Villa perfect for your wedding party to sleepover, get ready and celebrate all under one roof. The villa is an oasis where luxury, adventure, and relaxation converge just 12 minutes from downtown Los Angeles! Say goodbye to being apart from family and friends when you can all stay together under one roof! With two spacious units (3 bed, 2.5 baths each) providing ample space for both families/parties, along with two stunning rooftops and an outdoor area for pre and post-wedding celebrations, dinners, and more, this home offers the ultimate in convenience and togetherness.

Let me tell you about the time I got hitched at "Sany on the Hill," or as I like to call it, "The Spot Where 'I Do' Doesn't Mean 'I Regret This Tomorrow.'" Nestled in LA's embrace, this place is less of a venue and more of a fairy tale experience that forgot it's in the middle of the city. Picture this: 100 guests, and not once did I hear, "Excuse me, could you scooch a bit? Your elbow's in my cake." Walking into "Sany on the Hill" was like stepping into that dream home you build in your mind during boring meetings. Except, this one's real, and you're allowed to throw the biggest party of your life here. The gardens? Manicured to perfection, as if each leaf had its own personal stylist. And the views? Let's just say my phone’s camera had a day it'll never forget. Indoors, it's elegance with a capital E. It felt like stepping into one of those home decor magazines, except no one yelled at me for sitting on the furniture. We're talking classy interiors that made me think, "Wow, so this is how the other half lives!" And yet, it was all so welcoming, like the place was giving you a big, warm hug and whispering, "Let's make some memories." The hosts at "Sany on the Hill" are the real MVPs. Attentive, kind, and with the magical ability to anticipate your needs before you even know you need them. Forgot your vows? No problem, they've got a solution. Need a last min MUA? They have a rolodex of vendors to choose from! They made the whole shebang feel like a breeze. In conclusion, if you're looking to get married in LA and you don't choose "Sany on the Hill," well, you're probably the type who thinks socks with sandals is a fashion statement. This place isn't just a venue; it's where wedding dreams hitch a ride on a shooting star. Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat. But let's keep that between us—I'm not sure my other half is ready to plan another wedding just yet! LOL

Our beautiful 10-acre property was bought in 1966 by Ted and Aspasia Kiapos. It is here that they raised their family, and passed on their legacy for generations. Over fifty years later, La Tuna Locations has prospered and grown into a breathtaking outdoor venue with a focus on creating an intimate and tranquil space for all. Welcome to La Tuna Locations!

If you are going to get married in the greater LA area, this is where you want to do it. My wife and I had the pleasure of getting married here at the end of September. John, the owner, was a delight to work with. He accommodated all of our needs and requests, and was more than happy to help anytime we had a question. As far as the actual venue itself, it's beautiful. It's got multiple areas for your entire wedding. We did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here. Don't think twice about booking this place. You will not be disappointed.

Every story starts with the perfect location. It’s the backdrop to your first family vacation, to the start of a new beginning, or the main venue to celebrate your next milestone. The only problem? That perfect location can be hard to find. EssentiaLyfe was founded to be a leader in unique luxury rentals offering a variety of event spaces ranging from yachts to beautiful homes. It was created with both renters and property owners in mind. Our easy-to-use platform focuses on what we love to do, connecting people to excellent hospitality solutions.

I recently attended an all-white wedding organized by Essentialyfe, and it was truly a breathtaking experience from start to finish. The venue, perched on Mulholland in Beverly Hills, offered the most incredible views overlooking the city—a perfect backdrop for such a special occasion. The all-white decor was nothing short of stunning, with every detail meticulously designed to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. The cocktail hour was a highlight, with a wide selection of creative, expertly crafted drinks and beautifully presented hors d'oeuvres. Guests mingled on the terrace, enjoying the sunset while live music played in the background, creating an unforgettable ambiance. Essentialyfe made the entire experience seamless. Their staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. From setting up the venue to making sure guests were well taken care of, the team was on top of every detail. The company was an absolute delight to work with—professional, organized, and responsive. Overall, it was a flawless event in every way. I highly recommend Essentialyfe for anyone looking to host a high-end wedding or event. Their attention to detail and level of service were truly outstanding, making the wedding not just beautiful, but an experience to remember.

Ladies! And future hubbs! And anyone who’s looking to have the most beautiful wedding! Please do check out Stonehurst in Shadow Hills! Me and hubs got married last October so this review is long overdue and I honestly don’t think we could’ve finished our one special day anywhere else! To start, there’s a lot of different areas within the compound for lots of different themed pictures and the venue itself is super versatile. It’s made up of indoor and outdoor spaces so naturalistic setting or indoor setting or option for using both settings is possible. Personally, we chose to have the ceremony outside by the greenhouse terrace and dinner was served indoors and outdoors as well. We also set up a dance floor in the chic open barn house with dim lit chandeliers and most of the dancing was done in it and around the outdoors area in front. Additionally, the team at Stonehurst were just as outstanding as the venue itself so professionalism and service was a given as they were very accommodating and understanding of all our needs. One last thing, to top it off, valet service was included for that very special touch to feel like royalty on our special day! We had such a fun filled and memory filled wedding at Stonehurst and I recommend them 1000%!

The Enchanted Manor 

5.0

Valley Village, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $3,800

The Enchanted Manor offers you a one-of-a-kind, romantic and unforgettable wedding experience. Our facility allows your wedding dreams to come true and your planning stress to disappear. The casual yet elegant atmosphere lends itself for guest to immediately feel comfortable to mingle with guest. People are in awe of its magical vibe The Enchanted Manor emanates. They come as strangers and leave as friends. The grounds have an outside fireplace with comfortable seating. The octagon gazebo bar with the thatched roof gives the feel of being in a tropical paradise. There is also a fire pit which adds to the ambience as well as keeping people warm on cooler nights. The lighting is magical at night with the grotto pool changing colors and the twinkle lights in the trees. Feels like you're in a fairytale. Because of the special ambiance, The Enchanted Manor is chosen for many kinds of themed events.

We were looking for a unique venue for our wedding. We knew we wanted it to be outdoors and a place for both a reception and the ceremony so that our guests wouldn't have to travel between the two. The Enchanted Manor was the first place we looked at and we both felt that it was the right fit. Georgia has created a little oasis in her back yard that we felt fit our vibe - lowkey, but classy. The playhouse was a great place that the kids could escape to to watch TV while their parents enjoyed the party. We had booked originally for approximately 60 guests, however once all the pieces fell into place we were closer to 50. Unfortunately our guest count dropped below 50 just after our window to let Georgia know, but she was kind enough to offer us the price difference. We applied that balance towards renting some heaters and lighting the fire pits as the weather got colder than anticipated, as well as to handling the trash. (Pay attention to the contract, you are responsible for removing trash or there is a fee.) I appreciated her communication and patience walking me through things - planning a wedding myself was a task that was draining on me! One thing I didn’t realize before booking was that there is space for a kitchen, but it needs to be built out for your event, so make sure you consider that into any costs. Georgia was really helpful and responsive to all of our questions (we had so many) and anything that we couldn’t do she had very reasonable reasons. (For example, at one point I thought I’d like confetti, but she explained why she doesn’t allow that on her property which made total sense!) The weeks before I became worried that there wasn’t enough decor, so we bought some items that we ended up returning. Once the rentals arrived, combined with the lighting, everything was beautiful as it was. We’ve started to see some photos and everything looked beautiful; it was a romantic but relaxed vibe which was just what we wanted. I worried it wouldn’t feel like a wedding, but it did. Georgia was a gracious host, our guests enjoyed her home (we made sure to tell them that they could rent it as well for an overnight getaway) and we can’t wait to start reading her book. We stayed in touch after the wedding and I hope we meet again in the future for events or just a dinner to hear of her adventures! PS - her cats were big hits all around, too!

I planned a wedding here in less than 6 months. From start to finish hands down an incredible experience. Jolene, amazing, kind, and thorough in explaining details when showing us the venue and figuring out contracts. Ryan - amazing. Always available for questions. Quick responses to emails. Very warm and friendly. Entertainment Express - Evan, planned our wedding minute by minute so the day of was perfect. Music was amazing. I got so many compliments on how organized everything was. We were always on track with the schedule and everything went so smoothly. The food.. I am still getting compliments on how great it was. I felt like the quality of my wedding should have taken over a year to plan and everyone at Padua made this happen in 5 months. I can’t thank everyone enough. Amenities- parking is easy, bathrooms so nice and easily accessible, bridal suite beautiful! Servers, staff, bartenders all wonderful. Tammy, my day of coordinator who came with the venue was incredible. She was always there, always knew what came next, and new exactly what I needed before it was done. From guiding me through the day to fixing my bustle she truly was the best. Any couple getting married here will have an amazing time guaranteed. Thank you again Padua, our day was so special because of you all.

The staff at Pond Oaks were absolutely fantastic - they dealt with almost everything, which was a huge lifesaver given that I only had 3 months to plan the entire wedding. They were responsive, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. Our guests raved about the gorgeous setting and delicious food. I cannot recommend Pond Oaks highly enough for any couple looking for an exquisite, stress-free wedding experience.
