What Happens When Your Wedding Venue Sleeps Eighteen Guests Onsite

Wedding Ceremony at Villa Loriana Banner

When you book Villa Loriana for your wedding weekend, eighteen of your closest family and friends can stay right here with you on the property. That’s four luxury suites, each with private entrances, full kitchenettes, and access to over thirty acres of park grounds, waterfalls, and oak groves. We built this place so your people could wake up together, share coffee on private balconies, and walk straight to your ceremony without ever leaving the estate.

How Overnight Accommodations Change Your Wedding Weekend

The Baldini Suite sleeps four guests across two bedrooms. You get a full kitchenette, double doors to a private balcony, and a bathroom with a double vanity and double head walk in shower. This suite connects to our shared kitchen with the Wolf range and butcher block island, so your group can cook meals together.

The Toscana Suite and Sorrento Suite each sleep six guests with three California King beds. Both have the same kitchenette setup, double head showers, and walk in closets. Toscana’s arched windows face west for sunset views. All three villa suites sit on the second floor above the reception space.

The Cottage sleeps four guests with a queen Murphy bed and pullout sofa. You get a wrap around porch, a private patio with a fire pit, and your own kitchenette. It’s tucked up the hill among the oaks, away from the main villa.

Getting Ready Where You’ll Celebrate

On your wedding morning, your wedding party gets ready in the Baldini Suite. Full length mirrors, hair and makeup chairs, a coffee nook, and east facing windows for natural light. You’re walking downstairs to your ceremony, not hauling gowns across town.

The Cottage becomes your pre event lounge. The bocce court and horseshoe pits sit right nearby.

Your Ceremony and Reception

Your ceremony happens under our stone pergola draped in wisteria vines. Guests move to the outdoor pavilion for cocktail hour, surrounded by stone arches and water features. The bar has a kegerator for beverage service.

Reception takes place in the grand Villa ballroom. West facing windows fill the room with golden light during sunset. We seat up to three hundred guests.

After the reception, your overnight guests walk back to their suites. Some couples use the Cottage patio for a quiet after party. Others gather in the shared kitchen upstairs. On Sunday morning, we host farewell brunches, and your group gets a few more hours together before checkout.

What’s Included

Your two night wedding package includes all four suites for up to eighteen guests. You also get our park lawn, over an acre of waterfalls, landscape lighting, and paved parking for up to ninety cars. Our staff works your wedding day.

We include the tables and chairs, the bar with kegerator, and access to our caterer’s prep kitchen with refrigeration, sinks, and prep tables. We handle trash service. Wine, beer, and spirits are welcome, and a back up generator keeps everything running.

Conclusion:

We’re at 500 West Ormonde Road in San Luis Obispo, midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The property sits in the Edna Valley, minutes from Pismo Beach and downtown San Luis Obispo. The ocean is close enough for a quick drive. Your photographer has access to over thirty acres, including the waterfalls, the stone turret with arched windows, and the oak lined park lawns.

FAQs

Can all eighteen guests stay for the full two nights?
Yes. Your wedding package includes a two night stay in all four suites. The Baldini, Toscana, and Sorrento Suites are inside the Villa with private entrances, and the Cottage is detached up the hill.

Do we have to use your preferred vendors?
We have a preferred vendor community, but outside vendors are allowed case by case. They need to meet our insurance and licensure requirements.

What happens if we need more accommodations beyond the eighteen guests onsite?
We’re minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach, where you’ll find hotels like Hotel Cerro, Vespera On Ocean, and Dolphin Bay.

Can we host additional events like a rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch?
Yes. You can add a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or farewell brunch to your wedding weekend package. The Cottage patio works well for intimate rehearsal dinners, and we host Sunday farewell brunches on the outdoor pavilion or the Cottage’s private patio.
