What couples highlight
“We lived in the neighborhood, and we would always walk by and smell the delicious food – even peeking in multiple times to see what beautiful wedding was going on.”
“From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the event, they go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is flawlessly executed and every guest is treated like family.”
“That includes Jess, Gina, and the entire team from the venue, who all went above and beyond to make sure we had the most amazing, stress-free wedding day.”
“Lilah gave us the best wedding we could possibly imagine — it was everything we wanted and so much more.”
“Jess in particular—her formal title is director of events, but we think guru is more fitting—was instrumental as our month-of coordinator and we don’t know what we would’ve done without her.”
From the reviews
If you are looking to have the most unique and beautiful venue for a wedding or a event look no further. My husband and I got married at Lilah NYE 2023. We had the pleasure of working with the Lilah staff for the last 12 months.
We got married at Lilah in September 2024, and we (and every single one of our guests and vendors) cannot stop raving about how incredible the space, food, and team were! The space is industrial, yet also romantic and warm. Even without an extravagant amount of decor, the reception space is magical.
Lilah was a dream venue. Our guests are still RAVING about the food. Every single one of our vendors told us it was the best vendor meal they’ve ever had. While this isn’t surprising given the venue is owned by CookNSolo, it’s a testament to the team that they can deliver the quality and the quantity and feed 200…
We had our wedding at Lilah, and it was truly amazing. We had the best day ever. From the ceremony to the party everything was flawless. Our guests all loved the food and have not stopped raving about it, and we would agree that it was the best food we have ever had at a wedding (and also in general).

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
