Redbird | Vibiana can host executive dinners, conferences, brand activations, holiday parties, galas and weddings, from 18 guests in a private dining room to about 1,400 seated or 1,500 standing on a full property buyout. The venue combines the Vibiana Main Hall, a restored cathedral, with the Redbird restaurant, five private dining rooms and a garden, at 114 East 2nd Street in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer covers conferences, client events, brand activations and holiday parties, and the venue presents itself as an alternative to hotel ballrooms. Spaces can be used alone or combined, which allows multi-day company meetings with breakout rooms, a green room for speakers and separate rooms for meals. Several rooms have open kitchens, so a dinner can include live cooking or a cocktail demonstration by the bar team.
The Main Hall has lighting and sound for presentations and performances; AV is charged separately for corporate and social events. For smaller groups, a set of private rooms can be reserved directly online through an instant booking option on select dates.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, showers and rehearsal dinners are a main use. A typical plan uses the courtyard for the ceremony or cocktail hour and the Main Hall for dinner and dancing. Wedding dinners are served family style or plated. Other rooms on the property can serve as getting-ready rooms or a staging area.

The bar program is run by Tobin Shea, a James Beard Award finalist, with craft cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. Redbird is listed in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. Each event gets a dedicated event captain and service team. The same kitchen also caters off-site events across greater Los Angeles.
History and setting
The Main Hall is the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana, restored and turned into an event venue. The property celebrates 150 years of Saint Vibiana in 2026. Vaulted ceilings and the scale of the old nave set the tone indoors, while the courtyard gives an open-air space for transitions between ceremony, dinner and party. Filming and photo shoots are also booked here.
Getting there
The address is 114 East 2nd Street, Los Angeles, in the Historic Core, a short walk from Little Tokyo, City Hall and the Arts District. A virtual tour of the Main Hall and the courtyard is available online.
