Absolutely loved this place at first sight, and glad we chose it as our wedding venue!…read more We married in the midst of Covid when every place was either shut down or limiting guests to 25-50 people. It's a hidden gem that can easily accommodate an intimate crowd of 75-125. Our wedding guests of 120 was more than enough; anything more would've made it too difficult for guests to comfortably move around. l highly recommend this place for your next event. You'll love being able to exercise your creativity without the fussy restrictions of a major hotel, hall or fancy wedding venue.

It's the most breathtaking estate! You truly feel like you're in another world when you're there. Each venue on their property is so unique and the photo opportunities are epic! The wedding I attended had about 400 people there and the reception ended at 2AM and then an after party in their Stables till 4AM. Don't know another property like it where you literally feel like you're in another part of the world, have a beautiful blank canvas, have so many catering options from different partners and can party till 4AM. Maybe I need to plan a 10 year vow renewal!

I had a very disappointing experience with Hummingbird Wedding Hall, and unfortunately, it impacted…read morewhat was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of our lives. From the beginning, we were given verbal assurances that the event would go until at least midnight. Based on that understanding, we planned our entire wedding timeline, music, and flow of the evening. However, on the actual night of the wedding, the staff abruptly shut down the music at 10:30 PM -- cutting the celebration short with no flexibility or consideration. When we tried to address this, they pointed to fine print buried deep within a long, 10-page contract -- something that was never clearly explained or emphasized beforehand. Instead of working with us or honoring what was discussed, they relied on technicalities to justify ending the night early. It felt misleading and unprofessional. A wedding venue should prioritize clear communication and delivering on expectations, not hiding behind small print after the fact. The way this was handled left us stressed and frustrated on a night that should have been joyful and memorable for the right reasons. I would strongly advise future couples to be extremely cautious, go over every single detail in writing, and not rely on verbal promises -- because our experience showed that those promises may not be honored.

The fact that once you enter the driveway it takes about a mile+ to get there and it really does make you anxious to see the location. The views are truly stunning but once you get to the actually venue is when you see why it's worth it. That private feel with no one besides your guests and vendors/workers and the ability to enjoy your wedding late night with loud music without neighbors getting annoyed. Lots of positives and very few negatives(if any).

UPDATE Hi tommy…read moresince you would rather respond to my yelp review instead of my husbands email regarding YOU providing physical PROOF of the "extensive mess" we caused. surely if it was "so extensive" you would of photgraphged this mess correct?..i will upload the photos my planner took prior to the ceremomy and the text msgs i had with my wedding coordinator who made sure the cottage was clean. we didnt eat, nor apply any makeup in the cotttage, in fact i was the ONLY person who put their dress on in the cottage (for photos). again in order to accuse someone of damages you need to PROVIDE PROOF of the damages!.. secondly knowhere on the contract does it say the last call is at 9:15. i will upload a screen shot of my contract that says 'beverage service will end no later than 9:30" i also have an email from cheryl saying last call is at 9:30pm then why were you announcing last call at 9:15pm? my contract also states that guest are to leave by 11pm. then why was your staff removing tables and chairs at 10pm!?!? asking my guests to get up so they can remove the tables!? you do realize all of this is a BREACH OF CONTRACT right? i also find it extremly disheartning that you partially responded to my yelp review. i would love to hear your response about how your on site manager tony failed to help us with the large puddle of water that i had to stand in for the entire ceremony. since we got charged for the "extensive mess" in the bridal cottage shall we expect you to pay for the cleaning i had to pay for to get the literal MUD removed from my dress and heels due to your staff over watering the grass hours before my ceremony was to start?, what about you breaching our contract that i stated above?, regarding the DJ mess, my DJ went to tony multiple times to explain that the speakers were muffled even on low sound to songs with alot of bass. Tommy, if you cannot provide proof of the damages we will continue to dispute the charges and seek legal action if this cannot be resolved especially since our contract was breached on many accounts. please email us PROOF of the "extensive mess" we caused and we will have no problem in paying. Thank you. p.s. to any couples who are with this venue, please take photos of everything, please double and triple check the policies you and the venue agreed to so you dont end up like us.

We had our wedding in late August 2018 at Brookview, and the quick review is that the day was…read moreMAGICAL. We loved the venue and Brookview team! If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I would. We leave the venue with a very positive experience. The venue itself is beautiful, nestled in the Agoura Mountains, with one level of the vast green lawn for the ceremony (tucked under beautiful big trees & twinkle lights), and then above the ceremony on another vast green lawn is the reception. For us, the venue was the perfect solution because they already handled many elements (wooden dance floor, twinkle lights, built in bar, built in speakers at reception, real bathrooms), so we didn't feel like we needed to do "as much" DYI as other locations required. But, we were still able to make it our own and very personalized. Another benefit of Brookview is that you can get access early in the morning (9AM) for the bridal party to do hair & make up (not all California venues allow this, surprisingly). Working with Cheryl (for the year leading up to the wedding) was so easy and pleasant. She was gracious the entire time, and she was kind enough to allow us to tour the venue a few times with our out-of-state parents, as well as our coordinators. So, we felt that we had a very good understanding of the space, process, etc. The team was very responsive to emails throughout, and ultimately hired someone while we were planning (named Priscilla, she's great!) to oversee the day-to-day, layouts, logistics, etc. That immensely helped as we got closer to the big day. Another great offer that Brookview has is a large golf cart for grandparents and the wedding party, driving us to/from the bridal suite and groomsmen cottage for our "first look", ceremony, family photos, etc. The golf cart also drives the couple up to the "look out point" above all the other mountain peaks for fabulous photos with your photographer. This is a must-do... Truly stunning. The bridal suite is gorgeous (whites, grays, and pinks) with great lighting for hair and make up. We spent the entire day there listening to music and getting ready. It was very spacious and was a great home base for us. Same for the groomsmen's cottage. Writing an honest review of course comes with some critiques, but they are minor. More so, I write this to help Brookview continue to be the great venue that they are! - Grass at ceremony: The spot where the bride/groom stand was newly planted with grass sod, and you could see the seems from the pieces of sod, so it didn't look like clean, beautiful grass. It was also a bit muddy, so we asked them to stop watering it while we were doing our rehearsal the day before. This should be resolved if they take care of the new grass, so hopefully this was just a 2018 problem. -Clean Up: The venue requires that all personal belongings be cleared out of the suites before the ceremony. It would be less stressful on the coordinators if we had until the end of the night to have that space cleared out (or even the next morning). We just had to be very on-top of this, when there was a lot more going on that felt more important, such as getting the ceremony/reception ready. -Attention to detail with emails: There were moments throughout the planning process where mistakes were made in rental orders, what was included in our package, etc. So, we had to be very careful in checking the work to be sure everything was correct. Not a big deal, but worth noting.

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.

My best friend and I spent a weekend here, and I have never felt more divine--like the highest version of myself. There is a magic woven into this place, and Bill's kindness feels less like hospitality and more like being welcomed by an old friend. These are the moments I will never forget: singing in the copper tub beneath the stars and full moon, sipping wine until the water turned cold; twirling barefoot through the gardens with my best friend in disbelief that I was lucky enough to stay somewhere so breathtakingly beautiful. The hummingbirds, frogs, and peacocks became companions, and the outside world felt wonderfully far away. I stayed awake nearly all night before leaving because I couldn't bear for it to end. And now, weeks later, I realize something shifted in me. Mermaid Mountain reminded me that I am worthy of opulent and extraordinary experiences. The property is also home to a beautiful butterfly garden lovingly tended by Sergio, who shares his knowledge and offers plants for guests to take home. I brought a few back to my own garden, and now butterflies visit me there, reminding me that places can continue to nourish us long after we've left them. Mermaid Mountain what a hidden gem in sweet Topanga !
