Magical High Vibe Wedding

From the Mother of the Bride: The Red Horse Barn venue and event planning company AAEI were top-notch. Every aspect of the event flowed smoothly and it was beautiful. The venue itself is magical. The site tucked away in the Equestrian area. Both Michael & Robyn of AAEI gave many great suggestions for the right vendors for my daughter's wedding. The packages are mostly all inclusive. Florals, caterer, dj, videographer, bakery, etc. - we were thrilled with the outcome. Everyone that attended said it far exceeded their expectations and I have to agree (we had 133 at the wedding and had plenty of room). Even the bride and groom's preparation suites on site were very spacious and private. My daughter absolutely loved the magical and upbeat vibe of the reception. I would highly recommend the Red Horse Barn and AAEI.

Labor Day Weekend Wedding

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Red Horse Barn! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and beyond our expectations. The food was absolutely incredible—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was—and the timing of each part of the evening was perfectly executed.

The entire team went above and beyond with every little detail, making sure we felt cared for and that our vision came to life. A very special thank you to Robyn and Michael, who were both phenomenal to work with. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and calm guidance throughout the planning process made everything so easy. They checked in with us every step of the way, which gave us complete confidence leading up to the big day.

If you are looking for a venue where the staff truly cares, the food is top-notch, and the service is flawless, look no further than Red Horse Barn. We are forever grateful for the memories made here and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Amazing Venue

A Magical Quinceañera at Red Horse Barn
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for my daughter’s quinceañera than the Red Horse Barn. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its breathtaking beauty—an enchanting blend of rustic charm and elegant sophistication. The spacious outdoor setting provided ample room for all our guests to enjoy comfortably, and the charming atmosphere truly made the day feel special.
Michael and his incredible staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like we were in expert hands from start to finish. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and the warm, welcoming staff.
If you’re searching for a stunning outdoor venue that combines charm, elegance, and excellent service, look no further than the Red Horse Barn. We are so grateful to have found this hidden gem and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning a special celebration.
Five stars all around!

Amazing Wedding Venue On Stunning Grounds


We just had the most perfect wedding at the Red Horse Barn.

Michael & Robyn - From day 1, they made the process so much easier than you'd imagine. They always return your inquiries in a timely fashion, they make sure you have everything prepared, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is how the couple wants it to be. These 2 have been doing this for a while now and it shows. They don't just know what they're doing, but they understand what you want based on your comments and they have streamlined the process to perfection. By having the DJ, Bartender, caterer, cake, etc all together, it makes the process so much easier as you know these vendors are constantly communicating with one another.

Robyn, the Day of Coordinator, was unbelievable on our wedding day (and of course prior). She has the entire thing down to a science but in a way that is warm and welcoming. She made sure our drinks were always filled, that we had appetizers and food at our table. She had everyone in their right places. She made sure our gifts, cards, and personal decor was properly packed and ready to go. There was so little for us to actually do because Robyn was in control of everything. Everyone's lives would be so much easier if they had their own personal Robyn! Weddings are stressful, but Robyn makes sure it’s as stressless as possible.

The venue - Absolutely stunning grounds. Don't do a generic golf course or banquet hall wedding like 90% of people. Dance outside under the lights, stars, and gorgeous floral background, instead. You will find the atmosphere so charming.

The food - Amazing. I know I'm biased, but they have some of the best food you'll ever have at a wedding. And plenty of it! No one will walk away hungry from your event at the Red Horse Barn. Days later, people are still texting us about how much fun they had and how good the food was!

DJ Andrew Yates - Awesome DJ. Communicated with him through email and he played all the music we wanted and nothing we didn't. Everything went off without a hitch and people had their boogie shoes on as a result. Andrew pays attention to your desires and makes sure to make it happen.

Floral - Again, stunning Dianne has a unique talent for arranging florals for bouquets and for decoration. The arch was decorated so lovely with flowers that were eventually moved to the gazebo where the cake cutting takes place. People kept telling us how beautiful the venue and floral looks!

Cinderella Cakes - Wow, excellent cake vendor. You get a 3 tier cake with 3 different flavors and fillings if you desire (we did) and everyone loved our cake. Way more cake was eaten than I'd expect, especially given that we brought our own ice cream sundae vendor as well.

The staff - I’ve praised Michael and Robyn and they both deserve it. But the rest of their staff is also just as amazing. From the bartender to the rest of the staff, everything was seamless. They will bring drinks & food to the elderly/disabled for them. They make sure everything is set up just right. They're barely even noticeable but the times you do notice them they're smiling and clearly helping out. Our guests have come up to us to tell us how great the staff is; something I wouldn't have expected. Michael and Robyn have put together an A+ staff.

If you can do you wedding here, do it. You won't just not regret it, you'll question why you even looked elsewhere!

Worry-Free Wedding!

PLEASE please please do yourself a favor and book this venue! Michael, Robyn, and their team took care of everything so that we would have the night of our lives without any worries. The only two things that went remotely wrong were my bustle breaking, which Robyn( the day of coordinator) was quick to fix with a sewing kit, and a beer bottle breaking that was cleaned up within seconds. I am horrible at planning and indecisive but the red horse barn made it easy to plan this wedding. They provide so much including food, drinks, cake, decor, flowers, DJ and more so I didn’t have to stress about booking a ton of vendors or trying to coordinate how everything would get to the venue.

The venue and flowers were so beautiful and it felt like a little tropical hide away in the middle of Huntington Beach.

The food was delicious and they insured my husband and I had full plates as soon as we sat down.

The drinks were tasty and strong and someone was always replenishing them as soon as we finished one.

Our dance floor was going off all night! The dj was great at feeling the crowd and not only playing songs and genres we wanted but also crowd pleasers.

Everyone says there are things that are going to go wrong on your wedding day and my husband and I are so impressed with how carefree and happy we were on our big day thanks to the flawless job An All Inclusive Event at the Red Horse Barn did.

#1 wedding venue!!

My husband and I had our wedding here in April. We were looking for a venue close to home where it would be an easy drive for us and our relatives. We had heard about red horse barn from others and We had viewed many venues but when we instantly fell in love with red horse barn and Robyn and Michael. The entire staff is tremendously respectful, and truly cares about your day and what you want. The venue is beautiful and they truly transform it to be exactly what you imagine and envision for your wedding day. We still have people calling us today saying how amazing the wedding was, how fabulous the food was, how fantastic the bartender was. Michael and Robyn and the entire staff were respectful to our guests, they checked in on us throughout the day, and if there was any minor hiccup you’d never even know because they handled it and the day was perfect. Their vendors are carefully selected and they all work so well together the day goes so smoothly. I wish I could do it all again and have the day replayed because of how perfect they made it. (Vow renewal?? :) ) I truly and highly recommend booking them, this is YOUR day and you want a place and people that support your vision. Book red horse barn, you will not regret it!

Had the night of our lives

We just got married here at the beginning of June! We had the best night of our lives as the title says. So many guests told us how much fun they had. We were dancing all night long. From our first meeting with Michael we knew we would be taken care of and all the details no one thinks of would be covered by the team. The venue felt like a tropical garden in Italy with the lights strung across. The food was unreal, and they made sure we (bride & groom) got to enjoy all the appetizers and the delicious food that we had picked out. Michael and Robyn were super helpful during the planning process. Their prices are transparent and on their website, you don’t need to call to get the real numbers (unlike other venues). Please get a tour with them, Michael is so thorough and you’ll understand just from that meeting why your wedding will go so smooth with them.

Perfect wedding venue

The Red Barn is an absolutely perfect venue for weddings! Our wedding was perfect in every single aspect and we could not thank this team enough. Robyn the day of wedding coordinator was there from the day that we booked the venue until we left the venue on our wedding night. She helped us with every question and worry that we had, she had the day of timing down to the perfect minutes and she was there if we needed a drink or a jacket. The venue team was very helpful and professional in keeping everyone on track and making it stress free! They set up the venue just how we wanted with the decor package and more. The florist did an absolutely beautiful job on making exactly what I dreamed of. We can't thank them enough! Our guest were raving about the food and continuous service that they received throughout the night. The DJ was very open to what music and request that we had and was great! The Red Barn will not disappoint and I would recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect place to get married!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Red Horse Barn is one of our favorite venues in Orange County. Michael and the All Inclusive Event Staff manage the Red Horse Barn and have turned this venue into one of the best venues in Orange County. Michael has a vetted short list of recommended vendors to maintain consistency of quality, pre-wedding they work very hard to guide their couples through the planning process, and the day of the event provide worry free experiences for the bride and groom AND the guests. Michael is accommodating and helpful with the DIY brides, but not booking An All Inclusive Event is a big mistake. They relieve a LOT of headache. With regard to the property, the grounds are immaculate and well kept. FLY BY NIGHT Disc Jockeys highly recommends Michael Leitao with All Inclusive Event and the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach.
