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.

For clients looking for a space to enjoy the weekend at home and a space that you can HOST an event too, THIS is the place! Sany on the Hill is stunning. As a vendor, communicating with both the client and the host was seamless. We were able to host our clients 30th birthday here with as many as 50 guests on property comfortably. The hosts were clear about any parking instructions and drop off locations so it helped us immensely when needing to navigate any vendors and guests. The host also let us know that it can be a steep slope coming up so we too were prepared here with any cars or vendors. We had an onsite caterer who set up with a grill top outside on the backyard and licensed bartender on site. I truly look forward to recommending more clients and friends to this beautiful estate and encourage anyone to consider it for their next weekend getaway, shoot, or event. The hosts are so kind so don’t hesitate to communicate your plans with them and they’ll assist you along the way! Can’t wait to be back here again real soon!

EssentiaLyfe

West Hollywood, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was a dream come true! A true garden paradise and we were so reluctant to have found Stonehurst. The venue have so many beautiful spaces to work with. We didn’t a venue that is just a blank canvas and loved that the Stonehurst have so many lush gardens filled with unique plants and flowers which made it so much easier when it came to our decor! Nancy and her staff were very helpful and made sure our day was perfect. She was always there to answer our million questions! This venue is really a hidden gem.
