Venue Features
The scene:
Our 15 Acre property was a thriving nursury back in the 1970s and driving up you will see a grove of magestic date palms on your right and Encinal Creek watershed on our left with large oaks, eucalyptus and sycamores. When you approach the event space you'll see the modern 14 foot tall building with large windows and a complete rooftop deck overlooking the Pacific. The space also has a deck in the front of the building and a 3000 sq foot decomposed granite surface with our iconic blue agave and vintage Airsteam.

Design:
Our new 900sq foot studio was completed in 2021 post the Woolsey Fire and is modern and state of the art with beautiful windows and air flow. The 1972 Vintage Airstream Trailer has been updated on the inside to feel clean and roomy. Our Event space has a lot of special areas to enjoy as well.
Standout venue features:
Our venue has the unique meeting of the mountains and the ocean and from the celebration site you feel part of both. We have some incredible palm trees, agaves and other scenes that make for incredible photos. We are also just across the street from 2 of Malibu's best beaches for photos, El Matador and Lechuza Beach
