Every destination has its own set of quirks and specialties—Topanga is no exception. Even if you’re just visiting for the weekend, hosting parties like a local is easy with a little attention to detail. Here is a quick/pros and cons list to guide your planning.
Advantages
Topanga has a hippie-esque, artsy vibe that tourists adore.
Mountain scenery and beach access in Topanga provide visitors with the best of both worlds.
The weather is warm and sunny year-round, though the summer heat can be a bit overbearing.
Disadvantages
Topanga has a relatively remote location, with only one road in and out. During wildfire season, an emergency preparedness plan is a necessary precaution.
While several bus services will get you to the Topanga Canyon, public transportation options within the community are scarce.
Services can be limited due to the community’s remoteness.
Whether it's your long-awaited wedding day or a business meeting with a twist, your special events deserve the best venues in town. Here are some of our most popular event spaces your friends and family are bound to love.
Spanish Villas – A Euro Summer Pool Party. Give your summer soiree a twist with one of these feats of historic architecture and stunning landscape. These mansions have plenty of classy party spaces indoors too, but we’d recommend staying out in the sunshine where the views are even more impressive.
Outdoor Event Spaces – Party Pros. When it comes to wedding receptions or large-scale corporate events, these industry giants are best equipped to handle all your needs. They boast equally stunning views from their terraces of fairy lights, blooms, and twisted oaks, but they also have your “boring” considerations covered like parking and electricity.
Fairytale Cottages – '70s Vibes. Treat your friend group to a retro slumber party in a cabin of wood paneling, old-school furnishings, and mixed textiles. Make the most of your outside time with an alfresco dinner on the rooftop deck and stargazing from the hot tub/sauna duo. Then, hunker down from the comfort of the sofa for late-night storytelling and board games.
Sometimes, the party planning process can make you feel like you’re on the verge of a complete meltdown. Don’t let the anxiety take over! Add some of our best advice to your repertoire and breathe easy!
Throw Some Shade – In all seriousness though, a long outdoor event can take a toll on guests' bodies if there’s no shade available. Keep everyone comfortable and make sure you have a pop-up lounge area under a tree, some patio umbrellas distributed around the deck, or even an event tent rented for large-scale productions.
Make Sure You Have a Good Speaker at the Ready – Music is a must for any good party and outdoor parties really require you to crank that volume to set the mood. Otherwise, wind and other noises seem to swallow the sounds and the music gets lost. Ensure you have a good quality speaker on hand for pumping up your party playlist.
Sort Out Your Seating – When hosting outdoors, one of the big challenges can be ensuring there’s enough seating for everyone. Patio furniture is great, but it’s usually fairly limited. Depending on what’s available to you, you may need to rent some extra fold-out chairs from a party vendor, thrift for some poufs and beanbags, or even ask guests to bring their own camp chair.
Find Loaner Lawn Games – When it comes to entertainment, outdoor events beg for lawn games. Everybody loves ‘em, not just kids. Whether you make them yourself, rent them, or buy them, be sure to have things like corn hole, ring toss, and giant Jenga around. Heck, you could even set up a volleyball/pickleball net if you have enough players.
Rent on your event space is only one piece of the party budget puzzle. Looking for ways to save money? These tips will turn you into a budget party host extraordinaire!
Simplify the bar cart.
Big pitchers of lemonade, punch, and iced tea (or sangria if you’re hosting adults) will quench everyone’s thirst, look pretty in photos, and help save on the cost of a full bar spread.
Break out the BBQ.
Hotdogs, burgers, salad, and chips are a cheap way to feed a crowd, and they are always a big hit. There’s seriously no need to get fancy, especially for a backyard-inspired summer gathering.
Shop the dollar store for kids' entertainment.
You can find all kinds of affordable fun for your littlest party guests like discounted piñatas, bubble wands, sidewalk chalk, water balloons, and more. Cheap ice pops are also easy to find and the dollar store and guaranteed to be a blast!
Heading to the Los Angeles area for your next celebration? From a forest hideaway in the woodland hills to Barbie dream houses overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a great experience starts with the perfect venue in Topanga from the Giggster app.
