Vibiana, a historic cathedral-turned-event-venue built in 1876, is a true oasis in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles, California. Since 2012, Amy Knoll Fraser and Chef Neal Fraser have operated the property, bringing their guest-first, holistic restaurant hospitality philosophy, honed over three decades in the industry, to special events. In 2015, they opened Redbird, their flagship New American restaurant in the former rectory building adjacent to the Cathedral, which currently houses five additional private event spaces upstairs and an intimate garden.

The Frasers have created an award-winning full service experience with the Redbird | Vibiana culinary, beverage and event management teams, providing restaurant level service from beginning to end with every detail considered. Redbird | Vibiana Wine Director Matt Fosket’s wine list is well-rounded with great finds from both established and emerging regions throughout the world. Vibiana offers an extensive selection of cocktails curated by Redbird | Vibiana Bar Director Tobin Shea. Shea's offerings feature well-balanced, bespoke renditions of the classics, as well as inventive and inspired originals. The range of overall culinary expertise has no bounds and can accommodate any and every cuisine expertly.

The beauty of the architecture of the Main Hall and its lush adjacent Courtyard provides an incredibly versatile backdrop for designing a stunning event with highly customizable aesthetics that feel both intimate and grand. Great attention was given over several decades to restore and keep original historic details intact while modern touches like a state of the art lighting and sound system, and high quality, custom rental equipment were added. Vibiana hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, engagement parties, galas, corporate events, non-profit fundraisers, performing arts shows, film shoots and other social occasions.

This place is INCREDIBLE. You will pay for everything to be taken care of, but thats the joy. IT IS ALL TAKEN CARE OF!! I didnt worry, my coordinator didnt worry and my mother didnt. All is well if you go for the Vibiana.
You have to pick one of their preferred caterers and we went with Jay's Catering. They were the cheapest option and yet so easy and fun to work with and every guest told us the food was awesome!
IT IS ALL WORTH THE MONEY!!!!

Vibiana is a great venue- BEAUTIFUL!!! The venue is a lot of hard work and tons of vendors and meetings to deal with but it was all worth it. We haven't gotten our professional photos yet but the ones we have from our friends are absolutely amazing. Renatta the event coordinator at Vibiana is such a pleasure to work with as she responds to emails and tries to assist the "stressed" out bride with good vendors and ideas. The money and hard work spent to create an event at Vibiana is well worth it. I had a beautiful and amazing time on my wedding day!

Aside from being one of the most gorgeous wedding locations ever, my planning experience with Vibiana was incredible. Anika, Nicole and the whole Vibiana team were amazing to work with. They have the process down to a science which really made my experience delightful. As a wedding planner myself, there were so many extra production logistics, because of course I couldn't just do something simple... but our event manager Nicole went above and beyond to insure we were always educated about everything and my day was seamless because of it! Vibiana has an extraordinary structure with amazing details and so you know your wedding will be stunning but to have the team they do and provide the service they offer with it, truly takes your experience to the next level.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
