Los Angeles Wedding Venue : Greystone Mansion

amy — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:57:06 +0000

Have you ever been to a wedding at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills? Was it as gorgeous as I’m picturing?

A week or so, Angela wanted to visit Greystone Mansion (she’s helping a friend plan her wedding) and I tagged along.

And I’m so so glad I did.

Also : glad we got there right at sunset. The light coming over the hill, at the ‘golden hour’ before sunset just added to the romance and magic of this big stone, garden Los Angeles wedding venue.

I love the walls and the textures. I love the lines made by the walls, the paths, the stairs, the trees. I love the hidden corners every where you turn that remind me of The Secret Garden.

Love this wedding venue!

I haven’t looked into the fees and details, but it looks like the City of Beverly Hills maintains this venue and you should contact them to reserve your wedding date.

Los Angeles Wedding Venue – Malibou Mountain Lake Club

amy — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:47:20 +0000

Kaitlin chose her wedding venue and I LOVE IT!!

Not that it matters what I think – when you’re a bridesmaid your job is to say “yes, ma’am” when the bride tells you her plans …. but I am soooo glad she chose this place.

We will be attending nuptials at (yes, this is how it is spelled):

Malibou Lake Mountain Club

Read about the history of the club here – includes a small explanation of the spelling…

The location is amazing … it is in the mountains between Agoura Hills and Malibu, down a small side street, in a neighborhood of big houses near Mulholland drive. You can see a neighboring house in one of the photos below.

When you drive up, you go through big gates and enter the parking lot (on the left) with the building and lawn on the right.

The building itself has a big front porch (where cocktail hour will be) and big windows on 2 sides.

The lawn is ginormous ….. it lines the building (with a rose garden in between), overlooks the lake, and is lined with big trees wrapped in white Christmas lights on 2 sides.

The ceremony will be held outdoors just a few hours before sunset. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

We went to check it out before seeing Legally Blonde. This was one of the first locations she looked at and loved it immediately. I guess she kept comparing every other location to this one.

Eventually, she found another one that she liked and when she came by to pick me up this morning Kaitlin flat out told me she had pretty much decided on another location, but she wanted to show me this place just in case.

And then, once there, she changed her mind back again.

It must have been my irresistible power of persuasion. Because I LOVE this place.

Andrew came too, and he took this pic. Depending on the time of day and the weather/shade, the ceremony will be around where we’re standing, possibly in view of the lake.

Andrew was in a good mood … and when he’s in a good mood he talks a lot. A lot of nonsense. This photo was taken just after Julie said, with a total straight face, looking square at Andrew, “Sometimes my mouth runs like a faucet, too.”

You can see the porch and it’s relation to the lawn in the photo below.

I think the cake will be displayed in that big windowed alcove pictured below (right of the frame)

We went around the back to find an open door, and (truthfully) I was keeping my eyes peeled for sites for photos. I’m sorry, it’s just the way I think …

The reception will be held indoors in the main ballroom … there will be just enough space for all the guests to be seated and an area set aside for a dance floor (although, there won’t actually be room to lay down a separate wooden dance floor).

I love this place because it’s so unique. It doesn’t have that sameness that so many hotels and country clubs can have.

Plus, the palette is white/gray. So easy to bring your own wedding character to a room like this. Unlike a hotel with teal-ish carpet, or purple curtains.

Plus, look at those chandeliers! gorgeous gorgeous.

So excited !!

They do catering (and I think the cake) through the venue, so that’s about 3 major aspects of the wedding done/planned/booked/etc.

And, now there is a for-sure date, so we can start looking at photographers, DJs, local hotels and other things.

So excited.

I love weddings.

If you’ve been looking for a garden for your wedding, I’ve found it.

The Richard Nixon Library has the most beautiful grounds for a wedding ceremony.

View photos of some of their weddings here.

I can’t wait to shoot a wedding in that garden …

Jim Henson studios – Los Angeles event venue

amy — Sat, 16 May 2009 14:13:10 +0000

The longer I live in Southern California, the more I find venues and vendors that I wish I could have used for my own wedding. I might just have to throw us a few fabulous anniversary parties over the years to take advantage.

Recently, helping Angela and Devo research locations for their California reception (the wedding will be in Italy!) I can across the Jim Henson Studios.

One thing you should know about me: I LOVE the Muppets. I love the actual Muppet characters, and I love the genius behind producing Muppet shows/movies. I eat up anything to do with Jim Henson. I have books and books. I went to a museum exhibit on Jim Henson. I actually toyed with the idea of writing my Masters thesis about Jim Henson and the Muppets (related to material culture, etc).

When I found out that you can host an event at Jim Henson Studios … I almost cried with joy.

Someday, that will be me.

Go visit their site – check out the images.

Imagine the creativity that you can put into your event and have it completely BELONG in the space …

Just make sure you tell me about it … . I can’t wait!

SMOG SHOPPE – Los Angeles event venue

amy — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:01:48 +0000

You guys! I just discovered the most AMAZING wedding location here in L.A. (Culver City, it looks like) …

I wish I was getting married so I could take advantage of it.

SMOG SHOPPE : LA’s greenest urban oasis

You MUST check out the photos. It’s modern and stylish, but also a bit retro and classic.

Not only is SMOG SHOPPE so aesthetically pleasing but it “Exceeds, in many cases by more than double!, nearly every requirement in every category for the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certification (qualifying for up to 55 points out of 57).

Promise me you’ll invite me to photograph your wedding if you have the event here?
