The Sunset Restaurant

We are going to have our rehearsal dinner at the Sunset Restaurant! This place is truly impressive! The view anf the cuisine are amazing! I cannot think of 1 negative detail about the Sunset Restaurantt!

The Sunset was wonderful for my wedding reception and everything I could have hoped for. The food was even better than I thought it would be! Kelly Ann was a total doll and a riot to work with, and definitely dealt with my bridal craziness in stride. The night of the wedding was so much fun, and I've heard nothing back from guests but compliments on how yummy the food was and how fun the staff was. Everyone also keeps commenting on how fun and well-run the cocktail hour was (even though I freakin' missed it) because the hors d'oeuvres and cocktails were constantly flowing and nobody ever had to ask to be helped. Apparently the cocktails I had requested were constantly floating around on trays like there was a limitless supply. . .love it! Anyways, I would whole-heartedly recommend this location to any bride who is a foodie and who wants to be married on the beach. Here's a few things to keep in mind: 1) I didn't have my ceremony there because the beach (while gorgeous) is public and thus can be quite crowded in the summer (not much of an issue in other seasons); 2) Malibu has a noise ordinance so your band/DJ will have to shut down relatively early (I believe 11:30); and 3) I don't think they offer a buffet or food station option (please double check with the venue first because they may have changed their policy since I had my wedding).

Overall, I highly recommend this venue and had such a great time!

The Sunset Restaurant is pretty much the best place to get married. EVER. Why? Well you can't beat the location as its right on a beautiful beach in Malibu. The food is absolutely delicious-- yes, even for weddings. The staff is so amazingly organized, helpful, friendly & professional. And the banquet room is so beautiful (and it was renovated in 2009). And for all they offer, it really is affordable and all inclusive (event space, linens, china, silverware, catering, alcohol, valet, etc).

I had my wedding there a few weeks ago and it was a dream come true. Like I said, it is such a beautiful location and they set up the ceremony so that you get married right on the beach! But don't worry-- they put platforms on the sand so you never have to walk in the sand if you don't want to! High heel loving brides rejoice! Also, the platforms made it so my older, handicapped family members could still walk to their ceremony seats (they wouldn't have been able to walk directly on sand). The ocean was maybe 15 feet away from us which was a perfect backdrop for our ceremony. Dolphins even jumped during our ceremony-- which was just magical! Kelly Ann, the events coordinator there, is SO sweet and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a beautiful wedding and had so many helpful suggestions for us throughout the planning process. I love her & you will too! The food at our wedding was excellent!! I'm a foodie-nerdy and really the food was top notch! All our guests have complimented us on it-- and here's the best part: we had ordered the lowest priced food package. But it was still really good-- not your typical "wedding food" at all. When I think about the venue, and all it offered us, I can't believe how little we actually spent on it. Really, I think our wedding could have easily cost twice what it did-- but the good news is it didn't! The Sunset Restaurant really is affordable for all they offer you (location, customer service, excellent food & beverage, etc).It is THE PERFECT spot for intimate, beach side weddings!! Anyone who gets married here is truly lucky!

The Sunset Restaurant is a fantastic place to get married. You can have your ceremony and reception and catering all in one place, and it's relatively affordable. Kelly Ann, the restaurant's event coordinator, is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She knows what she's doing and will work with you to make sure you get the wedding you want. Just make sure you go over everything you want first, because there are a lot of rules and regulations to follow, both for the restaurant and the public beach outside. Still, it's not unreasonably strict, and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams.

The location is beautiful and the food and service from the restaurant was outstanding. We can't recommend this venue enough for people looking for a nice little place to have a beach wedding.

I was married at The Sunset Restaurant on August 27, 2006. I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat. Anyone who wants a beach wedding should definitely check The Sunset out! :D

We wanted a beach wedding and this was the perfect location! We are so happy we had our wedding at The Sunset. The ceremony was on the beach (The Sunset takes care of all permits, which is so nice!), the cocktail hour was in the lounge and on the patio, and the reception was inside, facing the beach with full ocean views. It’s a beautiful (classy, yet beachy) location and perfect for anyone who wants a beach wedding. The food and drinks were so good, too! A lot of people came up to me that night to tell me how much they loved the food. During the planning stages, Kelly Ann was wonderful to work with. Everything we wanted was taken care of and the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch! I would recommend this location to anyone who wants a beach wedding.

About the beach being crowded for the ceremony:
We were married there in August and this was not an issue at all. The Sunset has a permit for this part of the beach. Everything is set up accordingly and we had no issues with space or anything like that. People were extremely respectful and did not bother us in the least. Our pictures, in fact, do not even show other, random people in the background. It's a big beach and the beach-goers really steered clear of us. I would not worry about that at all. If you want to have your ceremony on a beach, this really is a great location and so easy since you do not have to worry about getting permits, setting it up yourself, etc.

I visited the Sunset today and I love it, I still have to bring my fiance there and there is one other place I plan to check out, but I liked it so much more than anything else I have seen.

Where is the most beautiful location on Malibu's beaches to get married?

The Sunset Restaurant!

I recently coordinated a wedding at the Sunset Restaurant. The ceremony was on the beach (it was simply stunning) and the reception was inside their newly renovated banquet room. The decor in the banquet room is so elegant and beautifully simple. You really can do a lot in that lovely space! Plus, the views are amazing! The food was also excellent!

Kelly Ann and her team did a wonderful job and they were a real delight to work with! I look forward to my next event at the Sunset Restaurant!
