About
History of Vibiana
The history of the Cathedral is an interesting and storied one, originally erected in honor of St. Vibiana, the Patron Saint of the Nobodies. Completed in 1876, the former Cathedral is one of Los Angeles’ few remaining nineteenth-century landmarks. Known simply today as Vibiana, the-cathedral-turned-event-venue hosts a wide range of affairs including galas, weddings, fundraisers, fashion shows, film shoots and performance art and art shows. Great care was taken over several decades to restore and keep original historic details intact. The rectory building, originally constructed in 1934, now houses Redbird with its Main Dining Room, lounge, secret garden and five private dining rooms upstairs. In July of 2019, Redbird | Vibiana received the Los Angeles Conservancy’s Preservation Award’s Chair’s Award for adaptive reuse of the property.
