business & life partners
Cordelia Culver & E. Gustavo Petersen
When Cordelia Culver and E. Gustavo Petersen met on the set of an indie film in 2001, they could hardly know how each would change the other’s life. From that month-long encounter of working side-by-side, they went back to their respective lives. Cordelia quit showbiz production, went to culinary school, moved to NY to cook, then back to LA to cook some more. Gustavo moved from Orange County to North Hollywood to be closer to showbiz, and continued his career trajectory as a cinematographer. A chance reunion in 2005 would be the last time either was single; they married in 2006.
Cordelia started her catering business in 2007 and took over operations of Malibou Lake Mountain Club in 2017, rebranding the property as The Lodge at Malibou Lake. With Chef Cordelia Catering and The Lodge at Malibou Lake she built a solid team of culinary, creative, and business professionals, under the umbrella of Native Daughter, LLC.
Native Daughter’s mission is to provide superlative hospitality and, very plainly put, delicious food. Having worked in separate businesses for 2 decades, Cordelia and Gustavo are now partners in Wrensmoor LLC., working side-by-side, as in the beginning.
Wrensmoor Castle is managed exclusively by Native Daughter, LLC., a Los Angeles hospitality company. Native Daughter’s other businesses include Chef Cordelia, a catering company, and The Lodge at Malibou Lake, an event venue.
