    Malibu Phoenix was exactly what I was looking for and it was priced just right. I wanted to be able to choose my own vendors and have our wedding reflect us. Everything I had found before required me to use their own caterers, etc. The property is beautiful, and there are endless ways to set it up. Fred and Jenna were great along the planning process. I planned everything from CO so it was very helpful that they were always available to contact. I changed my mind about everything about 100 times and they reminded me it was our day and we could have what we wanted. They even painted and did extra work to the property that I didn't even expect! My husband and I got married on the beach 9/20/2014 and rev Fred made a great officiant for us. He was calm and professional and made us feel at ease. We took most of our photos on the beach, but I also wanted to take advantage of the hidden "forest" area about 1/4 mile from the property. Instead of having to hike in my wedding dress, Jenna offered to drive us there and back. That was much appreciated! Everyone had so much fun, it was hard to tell them it was time to go. Fred and Jenna were understanding and did not get upset about stragglers on the property. Thank you so much for rolling with the punches and allowing us to have such a beautiful day.

    Our first visit with Fred and Jenna!!

    My husband and I got married at the Malibu Phoenix earlier this month. As a bride, I was so stressed out about every detail, leading up to my big day. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience than the one I had here. From the time we booked our wedding last summer, up to the day of, I must have asked a million questions, sent a hundred emails, and visited to venue multiple times. Fred and Jenna walked me through every step, and always made themselves available to me through every detail and calmed my crazy bride nerves. They are true professionals when it comes to their guidance and execution of their events. Not only is their property absolutely stunning, but their love and support really took our day and whole experience, to a whole other level. We will remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives, and I would recommend Fred and Jenna and the Malibu Phoenix to anyone! They are truly there for you and between their professionalism, their beautiful venue, and the rates, it really can't be beat !!!!

    So happy that same sex marriage are growing.

    See all

    I worked as a vendor here on May 4th and was the most impressed by the venue itself. Guests are…read moreable to go down to the beach while still having plumbing accommodations which feels so luxurious. It is a bit of a smaller space with a large bridal suite and patio to fit even more guests. The only con is the lack of parking that requires a shuttle or parking across the street as Ubers and Lyfts are sparse due to lack of WiFi/being so far out.

    This was my first beach wedding. I was a guest. This place is absolutely dreamy…read more CEREMONY The ceremony takes place on the outdoor patio which overlooks a beautiful private beach in Malibu. The view is breathtaking and you can hear the soft sound of the waves in the background. PICTURES: The bridal party took pictures on the beach with the guests behind them looking over the balcony. I'm sure the bride and groom also got some gorgeous wedding photos out there too. Note if you are in the bridal party to come prepared with shoes you don't mind getting sand in. I noticed the men brought sneakers and the girls were barefoot. WHAT TO WEAR I was unsure what to wear to a beach wedding. The wedding I attended went from day to night. I wore a pink cocktail dress and that was perfect. Everyone at the wedding I attended wore colored clothing. I would stay away from black. And heels are fine because you are on a patio, not the actual beach. I recommend some nice open toe shoes with heels. I suggest wearing sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses (for a daytime wedding) to protect against the sun. I also suggest bringing a sweater as it can get chilly by the beach and also in the reception hall when they put on the air conditioning. Just note that there isn't really a place to store extra stuff except in the bridal room so pack lightly. RECEPTION The reception is inside in an intimate room with beautiful white tables, chandeliers, and a beautiful white draped backdrop with lights. The venue is small and intimate. It feels like being in someone's private home in Malibu. You have the place all to yourself. LOCATION This venue is deep into Malibu. If you are coming from the Westside of Los Angeles you will pass Pepperdine and Zuma Beach to get here. OTHER This place got an award from "2018 Best of Weddings" award from The Knot. The venue works best for smaller weddings. The one I attended had approximately 50 people and that was the perfect size for this venue.

They went out of their way to accommodate our needs to make sure our guests have a great experience. All the best things: - The house is beautifully decorated. Mary is a talented interior designer with an elegant taste in furniture. The house has many WOW elements. You have to be there to feel the amazingness. - Mary and Will are extremely kind and responsible. Our party rental person arrived the evening before without notice and Will handled everything for us. - The house faces the ocean. - It's intimate and private. After putting up the canopies, the place looks even better than before. My family dropped their jaw after when they arrived. - Mary and Will are capable to plan your wedding of any budget. They will make sure you don't miss any details. - They have a list of vendors and very knowledgeable. - The rate is very reasonable for a beach house wedding. (Resource: I researched all beach houses in So-Cal for a month.) Seriously, please go and check it out. They are the best thing that happened to our wedding.

Incredible location that you have to see to believe/appreciate. The view is a 10 and the house is first class. Will and Mary are meticulous and thoughtful about making the experience everything it can be and are very generous with their time and services. I believe they limit the amount of events so consider yourselves lucky if you can get this place. I have seen quite a few locations in the area and this place is a gem.

I love how this spot has great facilities to enjoy spending time outside on the front porch or great lawn (with nice fire and plenty of furniture) as well as great paces with the ballroom and library bar. With so much space available, there was plenty of room to talk with others in quieter settings and avoid feeling cramped. This also allowed for a variety of decorations to be available in all different spots as well as the opportunity to wander between different spots throughout the night. The ballroom is quite large and a great spot both for a delicious meal and fun dancing. With the setup, it was easy to move between different spots throughout the whole night. I also found the dressing room setup very convenient as there was easy access to the ballroom and great lawn, making it easy to coordinate with different people prior to the ceremony.

It was such an amazing experience being in our venue to try the food, and Chef Tiff was the absolute best, willing to make changes based on our feedback, and even throwing in a couple of extra things for us to try. Leading up to our wedding, I was so calm, knowing I had full trust in the venue team, and I was so glad I followed that intuition. We received compliments all night long that the staff was incredible, even noting one waiter in particular was the best! People could not stop raving about the food, saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had. People also raved about our appetizer choices, saying they loved the short rib tortellinis, the tuna tartar crackers, and that the mushroom pizza slices were the best they ever had. The bar never ran out of alcohol, and people spent so much time in that area saying it felt like they were in a cozy living room. Finding a venue that is not only stunning, but affordable for the area, and provides the tables, chairs, flatware, and so many furniture pieces you could opt to utilize, was perfect for us. It was the perfect-sized venue for our 92 guests, and I wouldn't change a thing about our day. At the end of the night, Chef Tiff came out to hug us and presented us with a huge bag of leftovers to take home, which we enjoyed the next night for dinner. I mean, she gave us enough food for 8 people to have entrees, and even threw in several desserts. I honestly can't say enough good things about this venue. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I know people are obligated to say nice things after attending a wedding, but the feedback we received was overwhelming from so many of our guests, saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Our Bulldogs didn't want to leave and neither did we. Don't miss this one if you have the option... Georgia is a person of magic and nothing but a giver.

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. 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.) 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. Though there is excellent lighting, I would recommend watching your step as we did have a few tripping incidents (that were not alcohol fueled in some cases) as the ground changed. It was more due to the way things were spaced and we'd have to make sure to look down as we stepped around things, but we managed to survive. 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. She gave us the sweetest compliment after, saying how kind our guests were and how that spoke to who my husband and I were as well. 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!
