The Dana Powers House and Barn is a family-run wedding venue in Nipomo, California, on the central coast north of Santa Barbara. Nestled in the rolling hills of southern San Luis Obispo County, our home and barn are two separate and unique venues providing a full complement of inviting indoor and open-air possibilities for your event. The spaces can be enjoyed separately or in conjunction with one another. Our mild and temperate climate provides a comfortable coastal influence for guests to enjoy all year long.
Blending country elegance with a sophisticated flair, our charming venues allow couples to host intimate private celebrations for family and friends.
House - Barn - Gardens
The House is a picturesque Victorian country home owned by Judi Dana Powers, whose great-grandfather built it in 1882. Judi has spent a lifetime curating its decor to reflect her Early Californian and French heritage. From the sunny, tranquil library to the fairytale third-story tower balcony, the Dana Powers House is truly magical.
The expansive English-style Gardens surrounding the House are the perfect setting for ceremonies, receptions, cocktails, and rehearsal dinners. While your guests will enjoy sauntering through secret gardens, the Rose Gardens, and the expansive lawns, you will find endless backdrops and vignettes for both candid and formal photographs.
The Barn, built in the late 1800s, has been transformed into a magical and romantic venue with vintage lighting, antique furniture, and gorgeous, high-raftered architecture. With expansive foothill views and amazing golden hour vistas, the grounds surrounding the Barn feature a large lawn area complete with a rose-covered bridal entrance, a ceremony platform, a warm, welcoming fire pit area, and multiple lounge-style gathering spaces, all nestled amidst our working lemon and avocado orchards.
We have lovingly created spectacular and picturesque settings for your nuptials with unique features only available at
