History
Steve and Desa Osborn originally purchased the land that supports this venue to build a barn to house Steve’s tractor, Matilda, and eventually a home. After trying to find a space for their son’s rehearsal dinner, they decided to create their own rustic, yet elegant event venue. The barn was created with materials sourced from the property, and now stands as a place where “memories are made and dreams come true.”

Rain or Shine

We are so thankful for the team at Red Gates for helping us have a beautiful wedding day despite COVID and a hurricane! You're required to have a wedding planner for the venue; however, Mrs. Desa was a great help in addition to the wedding planner. The whole team is very personable.

Wonderful Venue

Red Gates was a wonderful wedding venue with an extremely caring staff. Terri, Desa, and Steve truly cared about my wedding day and helped make my wedding dreams come true. After months of planning with the Red Gates staff, I arrived to the venue on my wedding day and just relaxed because everything was taken care of by them. Red Gates is an extremely beautiful property with several great areas for photography. I absolutely loved having my ceremony and reception at the same location. All of my guests loved it as well and they had plenty of room for parking. Red Gates is a must see if you are looking for an outdoor barn venue.
