About this venue
Made by Meg is proud to continue the legacy of the historic La Venta Inn nestled in the hills of Palos Verdes Estates. La Venta Inn has enjoyed a full, rich history on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Nationally recognized as a California Point of Historical Interest, the Inn dates back to the early 1920’s, when a group of international businessmen set out to develop the ‘ideal residential community.’ The landmark ocean view estate is a beautifully restored 1920’s Spanish villa and used to entertain guests from the world over through exceptional weddings and events. We are thrilled to bring the delicious Made by Meg cuisine and our incredible hospitality to this one of a kind property.

excellent ocean-view venue for a fall wedding
La Venta was a wonderful venue for our October wedding. They handled so many of the complicated parts of our event, the price was very reasonable, the food was delicious, and of course the venue itself was stunning. La Venta even helped us find our amazing planner, Helen Vonghack (@eighteenplacecards), and our whole event went off without a hitch. Photos attached by our amazing wedding photographer, @zoomtheory
Dreamy September wedding
We got married at La Venta Inn in September 2024 and it was truly everything we could have asked for. The centerpiece here, and a large part of why we chose this venue, is the spectacular view overlooking the ocean which made for such beautiful pictures. Besides the natural beauty of the area, the building itself is a historic villa which felt cozy and intimate and yet comfortably accommodated our guest count of 100. Savannah was our contact person and was very responsive to emails, including some last minute seating changes we had in the weeks leading up to the wedding La Venta works exclusively with Made by Meg for catering - Kat was our contact person and was fantastic to work with. Note that they do not allow outside food vendors, but they were able to accommodate some of our special requests such as requests to source a specific brand of ice cream so that we could make our wedding unique to us. We got so many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was. The other exclusive vendor that they are contracted with is Vox DJs. This is the only vendor that we had a less than stellar experience with. They performed their duties fine on the day of the wedding, with the exception of forgetting to set up the dance lights we had paid for, but the communication and planning leading up the wedding did not go as smoothly as I hoped, and I wish that we had the flexibility to go with a DJ company of our own choosing. However I understand the restrictions given that La Venta is a historic site. Overall, our wedding at La Venta was memorable, beautiful, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a gorgeous venue with spectacular ceremony views. With a venue like this, you really only need a good florist (we used Flowernoon Shop) and a talented photographer (June Choi Photography) to bring out the natural beauty of the venue - you really don't need a lot of other rentals, draping, etc. We are so happy we had our wedding here!
Fall Wedding
La Venta Inn surpassed our expectations; it genuinely provides a romantic atmosphere for your event. The venue boasts a diverse range of aesthetics, making it perfect for any wedding theme. It seamlessly blends beachy, whimsical, Spanish, rustic, and a hint of country charm. Although it might be seen as an investment, it is certainly worthwhile for us and our families in the end. I wouldn't alter a single aspect of our wedding planning.
Dream Wedding
La Venta Inn was the perfect setting for our wedding, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we walked into the 100-year-old Spanish villa nestled in the hills of Palos Verdes, we knew this was the intimate, romantic venue we had been searching for. Its homey, charming feel brought the house/dinner party vibe we envisioned to life, creating an atmosphere that felt uniquely us. One of the standout elements of the day was Made with Meg Catering. The food was absolutely delicious, and all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Working with Savanna, Katherine, and their incredible team was such a seamless and enjoyable experience. They were kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. La Venta Inn, with its picturesque gardens and breathtaking views, was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding day. The staff was professional and made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our closest friends and family. We couldn’t be happier that we found this hidden gem to mark such a special chapter in our lives.
