"This iconic space was once a secret Chumash meeting place and one of Topanga’s first churches. Now a lush hillside venue, there’s a reason why the Inn of the Seventh Ray remains one of Los Angeles’s most romantic restaurants. The kitchen here veers more toward the sustainable and local compared to other wedding spots. Expect traditional options (so maybe a choice of short rib, chicken, or something from sea, like pan-seared salmon) punched up with fun sauces and sides like creamy polenta, whipped garlic mashed potatoes, and crispy Brussels sprouts. If risotto is available, be sure to order it." - Nicole Adlman
