How It Works
Vendors
Our long-term relationships with our vendors are one of our strongest assets, which is why vendor input was sought throughout the construction process and beyond. If you are from out of the area, we are thrilled to introduce you to our tight-knit community of passionate, professional, and world-class vendors on our preferred vendor list. You are also welcome to bring in outside vendors. We approve outside vendors on a case-by-case basis, provided they can meet insurance, licensure, and other requirements.
Client Login
Once booked, you and your clients will have access to our online portal, where you will find contracts, invoices, venue plans, vendor forms, and all the pertinent information for your event.
Capacity
We are proud to be one of the few venues in the area that can accommodate up to 300 guests.

FAQ

01Do you have requirements for vendors?
Yes. We require that all vendors have a business license and insurance, and a health department certificate is required for caterers.
-
02Do you have a closed vendor list?
We have a list of recommended vendors that we work with often and trust to provide your clients with a world-class experience. We are happy to consider off-list vendors who meet our requirements on a case-by-case basis.

Insurance in the amount of $1MM is required for all vendors. Two months before the event, all vendors need to send us a certificate of insurance with the following as additional insured:

-
04Is there a noise ordinance in effect in the area?
Yes, San Luis Obispo County has a noise ordinance with a 10 pm sound curfew that all private venues must obey. We have partnered with SLO Brew at the Rock to offer an after-party experience for your clients, should they be interested.
-
05Do you provide any equipment for vendors?
We have a scissor lift on-site that can be rented for $100/hr and must be operated by a Loriana employee. We do not provide ladders, step stools, tools, etc… for vendors due to liability issues. Vendors need to ensure they bring everything necessary to complete their contracted services.
