Orchard Conference Center and Catering

Orchard Conference Center and Catering is a modern event venue on the California State University, Northridge campus, offering a flexible setting for business functions, conferences, meetings, receptions and private celebrations. Its naturally lit spaces can accommodate events ranging from intimate gatherings of around 10 guests to larger occasions of up to approximately 150 guests, with several room combinations available for different layouts and group sizes.

The venue is suited to organisers planning networking events, business lunches, seminars, presentations, cocktail receptions, dinners, award occasions and campus-related functions. Rooms can be arranged for seated meals, presentations, team discussions or informal socialising, while the adjoining patio provides an additional outdoor option. Its location near The Soraya performing arts centre gives organisers access to a well-connected university setting with nearby parking facilities.

Food and drink are provided by the on-site catering team, with menus covering breakfast meetings, boxed lunches, buffet lunches and dinners, plated meals, reception snacks, grazing tables, carving stations, desserts and beverage service. The culinary team can also discuss custom menus and special requests, making it possible to tailor the catering to the event format, guest profile and budget.

For presentations and professional gatherings, the centre offers audiovisual support including microphones, projectors, wireless internet and customisable lighting. Tables, chairs and standard linen are available as part of the venue service, while outside non-food suppliers such as decorators and entertainers may be used with prior coordination. The Orchard team also supports event preparation, room set-up, catering logistics and on-site staffing, giving organisers a practical venue and food service partner in one location.
