Enchanting Venue with an Amazing Team to work with
The 1909 stood out among the 15 venues we considered, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From the start, we were captivated by the stunning ceremony deck, and during our in-person visit, the venue's unique charm won us over completely. It perfectly embodies the romantic, woodsy vibe we were searching for, with lush greenery that feels worlds away from the busy LA metro area, yet still conveniently close to it—especially for those of us familiar with the Valley. Nestled in the heart of Topanga Canyon, The 1909 offers a serene escape from city life. The venue provides a variety of rental options that seamlessly complement the natural setting, and everything is meticulously maintained. What really impressed us was the rental package—it includes access to the entire event space, from the beautiful ceremony deck and reception lawn to the indoor dance floor and bridal suite. As a first-time wedding planner, I also appreciated The 1909’s transparency with their pricing, which made the planning process much smoother. A special shoutout goes to Cristina, the venue manager. She patiently answered all of our detailed questions and coordinated multiple walkthroughs with us. Her support was instrumental in making our wedding a success, and I can’t thank her enough. If you’re planning a wedding at The 1909 with Cristina, rest assured—you’re in great hands.
Beautiful and pet friendly
The venue was perfect for us. It had that beautiful natural fantasy feel that we wanted but with the option for that indoor tavern vibe for the reception. We were able to have our dog there all night, and we did a maypole dance on the lawn. Some stuff to note: there is no outside catering allowed which was fine for us bc their food was amazing, but if you had something else in mind for catering that may present a problem. There was also some confusion/miscommunication with invoices, so if you are like me and wait for invoices to know exactly when/how much to pay and where to send the money you may run into some frantic days in the last few months. But overall, the day was amazing.
Wedding venue of our dreams
From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew that we were somewhere special. The 1909 was the most romantic and peaceful backdrop to our wedding day, from the time that we got there in the morning to get ready until 11:00pm when we were out the door. Everything was so easy, the food was incredible, and we felt so supported by the staff (who quickly became friends to us). We cannot The 1909 enough for hosting us and our family and friends for will forever be one of the most cherished days of our lives. Thank you so much!!!! Warmly, Mr. and Mrs. Little
Flawless
