About Malibu Farm at the Pier

Malibu Farm at the Pier is a wedding venue that feels joyful from the moment you step onto the pier. Built in 1905 and rebuilt in 1949, the historic Malibu Pier has been a gathering place for locals and visitors for over a century. Suspended above the Pacific, it offers endless ocean views, gentle breezes, and ultimate coastal view, making it a perfect backdrop for celebrations.

Malibu Farm, opened in 2011 by Helene Henderson, brought a farm-to-table approach to the pier, emphasizing fresh, seasonal ingredients and thoughtful hospitality. Today, it is one of four Malibu Farm locations, including Lido Newport Beach, Seaport Village San Diego, and Tiburon. The location on the pier has become a well loved wedding venue thanks to its stunning setting, exceptional food, and relaxed atmosphere.

Three Reasons We Love this Venue

Oceanfront Location

There are ocean-view venues, and then there’s being right above the water, with the Pacific as a breathtaking backdrop. The boardwalk forms a natural wedding aisle, and the water adds a sense of openness and beauty to the moment. At sunset, the sky and sea glow in soft pastels, creating a simple, beautiful, unmistakably Malibu setting. On the pier, the ocean feels alive, and guests aren’t just near the water—they are part of it, surrounded by breeze, light, and effortless coastal energy.

Incredible Food

The food here is as much a part of the celebration as the view. Malibu Farm serves seasonal, farm-to-table dishes that are fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. Menus feel intentional without being complicated, and guests linger over meals that are very memorable. The Restaurant even shares recipes on their website proving how deeply food is part of the restaurant’s identity. Here, meals aren’t just served—they become part of the memory.

Relaxed Atmosphere

What sets the venue apart is how it feels. The space is open and easy, much like Malibu itself, and guests can step outside, take in the view, sip a cocktail, or enjoy the breeze without feeling confined. It doesn’t feel staged or formal; conversations flow, and laughter blends with the sound of the waves, while the pier gives the day a relaxed, joyful energy that everyone notices.

Malibu Farm at the Pier is a wedding venue that focuses on ocean views, meaningful food, and a welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. For couples drawn to the coastline and a celebration that feels both iconic and relaxed, this venue offers exactly that.
