Where do we begin!? Both my Wife and I are lost for words when it comes to our stay and the event that we hosted at this MAGNIFICENT estate.
My wife and I were planned to have a 150 person wedding on June 14th, 2020 when COVID hit and completely wiped out a whole years worth of planning for our big day. In the spirit of perseverance, we canceled our big wedding plans and decided to look for a smaller venue that could accommodate our close families (10-15 people ) comfortably with an outdoor space big enough for us to adhere to physical distancing guide lines.
That's where we started looking on Airbnb 3 weeks before our big day to find a suitable location and we stumbled across this GEM of a location. We KNEW instantly that this is the place to host our makeshift wedding. We communicated with the host Vick, another GEM, she was VERY responsive and made the booking this estate feel like a breeze. We explained to her our situation and what kind of event we were planning on hosting at the estate and she was very accommodating and welcoming to all our plans. We even requested to see the property a week out from our even and she made that possible instantly.
Moving on to our actual stay, as impressive as the pictures of this estate are they really don’t do it justice. When the listing states Panoramic views, it truly is a 360 panoramic view of the whole San Fernando Valley like you’ve never seen it before! The views are breath taking and the grandeur of this estate is felt the second you reach the front gate. The self check-in process was a breeze and when faced with any little hiccups or questions, Vick was there to answer questions very quickly. The main house and it’s amenities are second to none, all the decor and the layout is very tasteful and it matches everything else about this estate. Even inside the main house you get amazing views regardless if you choose to lounge in the downstairs living room or the second lounge area located on the second floor. Every direction you look you are greeted with a phenomenal view. The house was super clean as described and Vick even accommodated our request to get the outdoor space cleaned to allow us to have a clean space for our wedding.
OUR BIG DAY turned out to be more of a fantasy that became a reality thanks to the amazing setting that this estate provided. We supplemented the estates’ existing outdoor lighting with 3rd party lights that really brought the outdoor space to life and highlighted the amazing landscape that this property offers. In addition, we had a florist decorate the existing Gazebo with drapery and flowers to add a small touch of elegance to an already picturesque back drop. We really couldn’t have imagined everything playing out the way it did but it all came together wonderfully giving our small guest count and my Wife and I an UNFORGETTABLE wedding day. Before our wedding was even done we were already discussing plans to come back to this property on our 1 year anniversary and do it all again.
Thank you to Vick and the owners for allowing us to make our wedding day a reality and being super accommodating and respectful all throughout. We highly recommend this place not only for events but even for a little escape, this place has it ALL.
