Fees, Features, & Furnishings

Villa Loriana reveals itself slowly. Terracotta walls catch the light just right. Arches frame garden views instead of hallways. Gravel shifts underfoot as stone paths guide you forward without ever needing a sign. The landscaping feels settled, mature—like it’s been here long enough to know exactly where the good photos happen. Photographers stop scouting. They just start shooting.

The atmosphere leans romantic without performing for attention. Courtyards open naturally into one another. Architectural details do their work quietly. Nothing competes. Nothing begs. The space flows the way well-designed estates do—guests move instinctively, conversations linger, and the day never feels rushed or herded.

From a planning standpoint, Villa Loriana is best suited for guest counts in the 75–150 range, depending on how you configure the outdoor spaces. This is very much an outdoor-first venue, so weather awareness matters—though in Southern California, that’s usually a manageable relationship.

For budgeting clarity, high-season Saturday facility fees typically land between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on the date and how much of the property you activate.

Wedding Day Blueprint

At Villa Loriana, the day unfolds with the kind of ease that makes guests assume everything just magically worked out (we’ll keep it that way).

Pre-Ceremony
The morning settles into the estate slowly. Getting ready happens on site, tucked into calm corners where light behaves and no one is shouting about timelines. Photographers drift through archways and gardens, collecting moments that feel European but somehow still very Southern California.

Ceremony | Garden Courtyard
Guests gather in the garden ceremony space, framed by greenery, stone, and architectural lines that do not require “one more floral moment.” Chairs face forward. The aisle reveals itself naturally. Vows land softly and stay there.

Appetizers & Cocktails | Main Courtyard
Post-ceremony, everyone flows directly into the main courtyard. Glasses appear. Passed bites circulate. Conversations restart mid-sentence. This transition is Villa Loriana’s quiet superpower—no dead space, no awkward holding pattern.

Reception | Courtyard Reception Area
Dinner unfolds under the open sky. Tables glow. Plates arrive warm. The space feels intimate without being tight, curated without being precious.

Dancing & Merriment
As dinner clears, the courtyard shifts. Music rises, shoes loosen their commitment, and suddenly it’s a party that knows exactly where it is.

Send-Off
The night winds down gently, candles flickering, guests lingering just long enough.

This blueprint is a building block—you absolutely can remix it, swap sites, and sprinkle in your personality. At Villa Loriana, your wedding feels effortlessly you, and we quietly smooth the edges while you shine.

Food & Beverage

At Villa Loriana, food and beverage unfold with intention rather than prescription. This is not a venue that hands you a laminated menu and calls it a day—but it also doesn’t leave your caterer guessing where to plug in or how to move through the space. Instead, the experience lives comfortably in the middle: a you-design-it approach that’s thoughtfully supported from behind the scenes.

Villa Loriana does not offer in-house catering, which means your menu isn’t boxed into a house style or package. You bring in a full-service catering team that matches your vision—whether that’s refined plated service, family-style comfort, or something a little more playful. The key difference here is that the estate is built to handle it. Prep areas, infrastructure, and service flow are already considered, so your caterer can focus on execution rather than problem-solving.
