We recommend coming early and hanging out in the Malibu cafe right on the Calamigos Ranch grounds. Grab a drink, take a cruise on a paddle boat, or shoot some pool while you wait for the ceremony. This place has great ambiance and it's definitely something to see while you are here.
If you have time and wanted to explore the area this is a beautiful place to see.
Great hiking trails if you are looking for an outdoor adventure!
