Welcome to the manor

An 18,000 square foot storybook estate in Valley Village

An 18,000 sq ft storybook estate of stone cottages, winding brick paths and a saltwater grotto pool — minutes from the 101, yet a world away from the city.

Georgia Durante spent twenty-five years shaping her home into The Enchanted Manor, and every nook and cranny was thought through. Today it welcomes couples on a quiet getaway, families visiting Los Angeles, and weddings and celebrations of up to 100 guests — with the whole of the grounds to enjoy.

Georgia's motto

They come as strangers and leave as friends.

Our story

Built with love by a stuntwoman

Georgia Durante was a precision and stunt driver for more than thirty years, the owner of the Performance Two Driving Team, and the author of The Company She Keeps. She spent twenty-five years remodelling her home into The Enchanted Manor.

When a stunt went wrong in 2006 and forced an early retirement, she had just adopted her daughter, Angela — and built her a playhouse on the grounds. It went way over budget, so Georgia began hosting children's parties to pay for it. Then someone asked if she would host a wedding, and a new business was born.

“Every nook and cranny was well thought out.”

The manor has since welcomed couples, families, businesses and productions — including Lifetime's William & Kate — and a remarkable list of friends.

Best small wedding venue ever

We knew we wanted a more intimate affair, with our dearest friends and family surrounding us. The outdoor space is simply magnificent… Our guests were blown away and kept asking, “how did you find this place?!”

It is not a back yard but an oasis

We walked out to the back yard and OMG, it was breathtaking! I knew that was it! It makes you feel like you are in some exotic resort in a faraway country.

Magical stay

Everything is fantastic about this property, each and every detail is well thought… Because of the beauty of the Enchanted Manor, we spent most of our time in the property itself.

California dreaming!

Both the adults AND the kids were so excited to see Georgia open the bookcase to the “Secret Room”, the backyard is stunning and serene… Everywhere you turn there is another great space to sit.

Enchanted is an understatement

The property is really impressive and the theme of the house makes you forget you're in a big city. It's quiet, romantic, and a lot of fun.

It really looks enchanted

The backyard at night is something to see. A lot of little lights in the trees and around the backyard, multi-coloured lights in the pool.

My first impression of America

I first was introduced to The Enchanted Manor 12 years ago when I rented it for a vacation coming from Australia… I swam in the saltwater pool every day and topped it off at night with an incredible Jacuzzi under a canopy of stars.
