For nearly four decades, the family behind it has welcomed couples and guests onto grounds that feel a little removed from everything else, with tropical gardens, cascading waterfalls, palm-lined paths, and a quiet lagoon that catches the light at the end of the day. Both outdoor and indoor spaces accommodate up to 230 guests, which makes room for intimate gatherings and full celebrations alike. Ceremonies unfold in the gardens, and receptions carry into spaces that stay comfortable in every season. In-house catering comes from DJ's California Catering, so the food is handled with the same care as everything else on the property. The venue is also home to The Estate House, a five-bedroom home on the property that hosts bridal and baby showers, birthday celebrations, and smaller gatherings, and gives wedding parties a place to stay and get ready close to the celebration. Beyond weddings, the estate hosts corporate events, private parties, milestone celebrations, and film and photo productions. Whatever the occasion, the setting does a lot of the work, and the family behind it has spent years making sure it feels that way.

In 1992 the business relocated to Los Angeles, where Liz’s Antique Hardware remains a staple for the Southern California antique and interior design community. Our space is a 1,200+ sq ft New York style loft with weathered hardwood floors, wood ceiling beams and plenty of natural light.

  Los Angeles. California. It’s a little prayer, a poem, a psalm, the gold at the end of the Manifest Destiny rainbow, the punchline of a country ballad, the destination of all prison songs. It is a dream, sort of. It is the end of Western civilization and the city of the future, defined by cars and films, aerospace and computers. Designed by Thierry Gaugain, Mama Shelter LA perches six-stories over the beautiful freaks and sputtering neon of Hollywood Blvd, the 70 rooms are warm havens with comfortable king beds. Mama’s rooftop allows you to take in the sights of all of Los Angeles with a near 360 degrees view from the Hollywood sign to Downtown to South Bay to the Westside. She’s located blocks away from the peaked roof and cement celeb handprints at the Chinese Theatre along the Walk of Fame, as well as countless boutiques and bars, tattoo parlors and record shops, burrito stands and vegan restaurants. The experiment that began in Paris continues in Los Angeles. Mama saw another sister city of lights, a metropolis always growing, shifting, unfettered by history whilst making it.
