Perfect Venue

The 1903 barn was a magical venue for my wedding. The barn is so naturally beautiful and the grounds outside are stunning. The vineyards surrounding the barn made for picture locations with my new husband. We had plenty of space in the barn for our 200 guests. Samantha and Lorna were amazing to work with and really made planning our special day so much easier. Communication with them was stress free! I could count on anything having to due with the venue to be taken care of almost effortlessly. Was so easy getting vendors out there, 90% of the vendor used already knew the place and the protocol. Highly recommend this beautiful venue.
