The 1909

The 1909 is a private event venue in Topanga, set among the oak trees and natural scenery of the Santa Monica Mountains. It offers a collection of indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings, corporate occasions, private celebrations and retreats, giving organisers options for events with different styles and formats.

The venue includes a Ceremony Deck with amphitheatre-style seating for up to 150 guests, a ballroom-style Dance Hall, and The Meadow, an outdoor grass space suited to receptions of up to 120. Other areas include lounges, patios, landscaped decks and a bridge for gathering during cocktail hour. Spaces can be viewed through a virtual tour, and prospective organisers can arrange an in-person visit.

For wedding parties, the grounds provide settings for ceremonies and receptions, with a bridal suite available separately. Corporate and social events are also among the venue's stated uses. The 1909 additionally welcomes retreat and workshop bookings, including yoga and meditation sessions in its outdoor spaces. In-house furnishings and staff are available for events, while organisers should check the venue's requirements when planning catering, music, alcohol service and larger gatherings.

Facilities include a kitchenette and parking for up to 60 cars. Overnight suites are also listed on the venue's website. Its location offers a secluded, natural setting while remaining within reach of Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast Highway.
