Duke's Malibu

The absolute best venue we could have found! We had the dreamiest coastal wedding September 5th, 2026.  I remember my husband and I were stressing over finding the perfect coastal wedding venue when we came across Duke’s Malibu on The Knot. We both immediately said, “Yes, this absolutely is the one.” I reached out for more information, and just two hours later, I had an appointment scheduled to visit the venue. From the very beginning, the Duke’s Malibu team was 100% transparent, responsive, helpful, and clear in their communication. I especially want to shout out Natalie and Tina for walking me through everything and making the entire process so easy. Natalie has the most bubbly personality and is truly the kindest person—it was such a pleasure to work with her! On our wedding day, our guests were absolutely obsessed with the food, and so were we! Having delicious food and enough of it to truly satisfy our guests was really important to us. We’ve been to weddings where the food portions were so small that guests were still hungry afterward, and we knew we absolutely did not want that for our wedding, so knew that having a buffet was going to be the best option for us. Duke’s exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and there was more than enough food for everyone to enjoy. The drinks were also a huge hit with our guests. And of course, the venue itself is simply beautiful. One of my favorite things was watching the lighting change throughout the evening. We started with a clear, bright, beautiful sky, and as dinner began, the most romantic sunset slowly fell over the ocean. It created such a beautiful atmosphere and made the entire evening feel even more special. The venue was clean, welcoming, and the perfect setting for our intimate wedding of 55 people. Having our wedding in Malibu was so important to us because we wanted that beautiful coastal feel, and Duke’s gave us exactly that without feeling like we had to compromise. Their pricing was also, by far, some of the fairest we came across when comparing venues. We looked at several other coastal venues, and Duke’s truly offered the best value for what was included. For anyone dreaming of a coastal wedding in Malibu, it is hard to find a venue that gives you this beautiful of a setting, great food, amazing service, and such fair pricing all in one place. We are so grateful we found Duke’s Malibu and chose it for our wedding. It was truly the perfect venue for us, and we couldn’t recommend their team enough! God Bless you all!  - Ari & Banyon

We recently had our one year anniversary reception at Duke’s and I truly thought my elopement last year was everything I ever wanted, but dare I say the reception was even better than I ever could’ve dreamed of?! Tina and Natalie were so great with communication throughout everything and so accommodating. Tina was there day of and was so helpful in making everything as smooth and chill as possible. From the bartender to the servers everyone was beyond nice and welcoming. The venue speaks for itself. We had a beautiful sunset that left everyone speechless. Thank you to everyone at Duke’s for making this day perfect and unforgettable!
