Oceanfront weddings look different here.
Direct beach access, Tudor architecture restored with Swedish design, and a host who lives on the property. See the full estate, pricing, and how every wedding here begins with a call.
The one venue in Santa Monica
you haven't found yet.
It was built in the 1930s for MGM's Irving Thalberg and the actress Norma Shearer. Cedric Gibbons designed it. He also designed the Oscar statuette. Leana Greene has lived here since 1999. She restored it herself.
Thalberg opens for a handful of weddings each year. Not because it's closed off. Because it's still her home.
Most brides who find this place say the same thing. They didn't know a private residence on the Santa Monica Gold Coast was even an option.
