When you close your eyes and think about your wedding, you can almost see it. You can envision a beautiful space, hear the voices of your guests having a great time, and maybe can just make out what the linens feel like—but it’s out of focus and you need a wedding planner who can help you bring it all to life. Really, you want a planner who is going to take care of everything and make sure that you’re overjoyed when you see it all for the first time on your wedding day.
At To Be Loved Events, it is our mission and pleasure to create engaging experiences rooted in the power of love. We want to give you the high-touch and intentional planning experience that all builds towards the celebration of a lifetime. And, whether you are envisioning a grand event hosting everyone on your contact list or something intimate with your closest loved ones, we’ll oversee vendors, tie up loose ends, and manage every last line-item so you don’t have to.
Your busy life doesn’t have to get busier because you’re planning your wedding and we’d be honored to help you celebrate your love—and plan the most amazing day while you’re at it!

Tips & Tricks
Start planning early! I recommend starting to plan your wedding about 1.5 years in advance to secure the more popular venues in Malibu.
If you’re considering having your ceremony on a public beach, make sure to secure the necessary permit(s) you need.
Depending on the time of year, the days can be very sunny & warm and evenings windy & chilly - Make sure to plan ahead for the weather for maximum guest comfort!
Venues to consider
Malibu West Beach Club
30756 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265, USA
WebsiteFor those looking to celebrate by the sea, The Malibu West Beach Club offers a casual, yet chic atmosphere. With direct beach access for photos and stunning ocean views, it’s perfect for beach-loving couples. The venue can accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations up to 250 guests (without a dance floor), and its laid-back vibe makes for a fun and memorable wedding experience. Enjoy a beachside ceremony followed by a beautiful indoor reception with twinkle lights, 12 hours for the rental period and a large wedding suite on-site!
Calamigos Ranch
327 Latigo Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA 90265, USA
WebsiteSituated in the hills of Malibu, Calamigos Ranch offers a rustic yet elegant vibe, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees. This expansive venue features multiple locations for ceremonies and receptions, including beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces. The natural beauty of the ranch provides endless opportunities for stunning wedding photos, making it a popular choice for couples seeking a tranquil escape. Calamigos also offers full-service catering, wedding suites on-site, accommodation options, and so much more.
Bel-Air Bay Club
16801 Pacific Coast Hwy, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, USA
WebsiteThe Bel Air Bay Club is a stunning coastal wedding venue that combines elegance with breathtaking ocean views. Nestled along the Pacific coast, this exclusive club offers a picturesque setting for both intimate ceremonies and grand celebrations. Couples typically exchange vows on the lower lawn with the sea breeze. Inside, the sophisticated event spaces are adorned with chandeliers and fixtures, providing a romantic atmosphere for receptions. The venue also offers two wedding suites for getting ready and upgraded rental options. With exceptional service, gourmet catering, and the option for outdoor or indoor settings, Bel Air Bay Club ensures a memorable experience for couples and their guests.
Deer Creek Ridge
Malibu, CA 90265, USA
WebsiteDeer Creek Ridge in Malibu is a breathtaking private luxury estate rental that offers stunning ocean views and a serene, natural setting. Nestled on a hilltop, it features panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains, making every moment unforgettable. This Malibu estate is overall a pretty blank slate that requires all of your own vendors, restrooms, cleaners, etc, and I always highly recommend having a wedding planner from the very beginning of event planning for the most seamless experience.
Lodge at Malibou Lake

WebsiteMalibou Lake Lodge is a picturesque wedding venue nestled in the heart of the Malibu Mountains, offering a serene lakeside setting for unforgettable celebrations.
