The Coach House

What The Coach House does

The Coach House is a privately-held live music and event venue located at 33157 Camino Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano, California, founded in 1980 by Gary Folgner. The single-site venue offers a 480-seat main hall with a 32' x 15' stage, state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and audio-visual systems, a 300-seat priority dinner section, seven private VIP suites across a 2,000 sq ft second-level hospitality floor, and 180+ complimentary parking spaces. It serves three primary customer segments: consumer concert-goers attending national and international touring acts plus tribute and local musicians (ticketed via TicketWeb, box office, and walk-up), private event organizers hosting corporate functions, weddings, receptions, and film shoots (60-660 guests), and dinner guests who purchase priority seating with a $20 minimum food charge.

The business operates four transaction-fee revenue streams: ticket sales (cash $20-$79.50, online $28-$89.89), dinner reservations and on-site food service, private venue rentals bundled with catering and beverage service, and beverage services. The go-to-market is event-driven and regionally focused on Orange County and Southern California, supported by an official website, email newsletter, and organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bandsintown. Notable performers over the venue's history include B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, Tom Jones, and The Black Crowes, and the venue claims more than 6,000 successfully executed events over the past 20 years. Accommodation partnerships with Best Western Capistrano Inn, Hilton Garden Inn Doheny Beach, and Dana Point Marina Inn extend the geographic draw for out-of-town visitors.
