Part garden party, part rustic elegance

The Barns was the perfect venue and the Events by Classic team members were the perfect hosts. Part garden party, part rustic elegance, the grounds were perfect for our 200 person wedding. The layout was great, accommodating for the different “events” of the night. Makenna, our designated event manager, was incredible. She worked closely with our wedding planner to ensure the day followed the timeline we planned for and all the details were executed on. The food was without a doubt the best food we have ever had at a wedding. Many of our guests shared the same sentiment. The bar tenders, waitstaff, and security were wonderful. We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. Thank you to all who made our wedding magic.

Wedding and Reception

We held our wedding at the Barns and had an unforgettable experience! Their venue combined with the professionalism of their staff was worth every penny. Guests were awe-struck by the venue which gave our wedding a Rustic Farmhouse feel but elegant. Would highly recommend their services to anyone searching for a venue that provides an all-inclusive experience. If we had to say one thing about the Barns, it would be that their staff are extremely efficient in keeping a tidy, clutter free venue throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Spectacular Venue!


My husband and I got married at The Barns in November 2022 and our wedding was absolutely perfect! When you book the Barns everything is included! - incredible food and bar, a stunning setting, fantastic table settings and furniture, and a terrific staff. Most importantly, you’re assigned an event coordinator with your reservation, and we can’t say enough great things about our coordinator Charlene!

Charlene was fantastic to work with and made sure everything went off seamlessly. As a very detail-oriented and pretty anxious (lol) bride, Charlene was incredibly responsive to our questions and created detailed event sheets and floorplans that made us feel organized and prepared for our big day! And because of Charlene, our wedding went off without a hitch! We even lost power during the ceremony, and I didn’t even notice. Charlene and her staff were in complete control the entire day, so my husband and I could just relax and enjoy!

And a few more words about the setting - it’s like being in a fairytale! We loved how it was an outdoor/indoor venue, so our guests had plenty of room to walk around and we never felt cramped in the space. It’s also so wonderful to have such a beautiful outdoor space that isn’t inconvenient for our guests. The Barns is in downtown Monterey, so there are so many hotels within walking distance.

We can’t thank Charlene, the Barns, and Events by Classic enough for making our day so spectacular! Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Book the Barns! You won’t regret it!
