  • Why Couples Love Villa Loriana

    Villa Loriana was the first wedding venue my husband and I looked at when we began our search in 2019, and we fell absolutely in LOVE! This venue is beautifully unique to the Central Coast and California! We booked for a summer 2020 wedding but had to postpone to summer 2021. Danyelle and Jesse were so gracious throughout the planning and postponement process. We are lucky enough to be the first Sikh wedding at Loriana. Villa Loriana was especially accommodating with all the requirements for our religious ceremonies. We had the wedding ceremony at the pergola and the reception the next day inside the Villa. We utilized all the spaces at Loriana! We especially loved the pictures from the bridal suite and groomsmen cabin. All 300+ guests from our wedding and reception could not stop raving about the property. We cannot recommend Villa Loriana enough! Gurleen Bhatia

    Loriana is absolutely breath taking. It surpassed our every expectation and we couldn’t have imagined a more magical place to get married. There is nothing else like it on the Central Coast. The owners literally thought of everything when it came to designing Loriana (even the bathrooms are gorgeous!) The grounds are beautifully kept, the bridal suite is that of a 5 star resort, and you feel like you are somewhere hidden in the Italian country side. Lastly, we can’t speak highly enough about the owners/ venue manger- they were all a joy to deal with! It was a dream come true being married there!! Brooke Becker
