    A DREAM of a venue

    We can’t say enough amazing things about Black Barn (now called Westers Family Winery)! The venue itself is an absolute dream to walk into. Every inch of the property is gorgeous and so well maintained. We received so many comments, texts and calls from guests during and after the event just raving about how amazing the venue itself was. The setup allows for indoor/outdoor mingling throughout the night but no matter where you’re at you still have a perfect view of the dance floor and all of the action taking place. It was the perfect size for our 125 person wedding. On top of just the venue itself, the owners are incredible to work with! They are so organized, helpful and genuinely so kind and care so much about you having the perfect day. You also get a month of/day of coordinator included and they truly made the day SO seamless. We highly recommend Westers Family Winery for your big day!

    Beautiful venue

    This venue is absolutely stunning, and everyone involved was beyond helpful! The coordinator made sure everything ran smoothly (even though I'm sure wrangling our group of bridesmaids/groomsmen was like catching a group of chickens running around). They made the day run smoothly, and made me feel much more comfortable and able to relax and enjoy my day knowing everything was handled. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and stayed plenty warm even though is was single digits outside! Would highly recommend this venue over and over!

    Book your wedding here now!

    The most perfect venue to ever exist!! Firstly, the barn itself is absolutely beautiful. We booked this venue early 2020 and had our wedding November 2021 and the amount of work that Wendy has done to this place is insane. Secondly, the fall foliage is absolutely breathtaking. We had SO many people compliment our venue. My now husband and I have been to 11 weddings together and no venue even comes close to Black Barn. Lastly, Wendy was so responsive and accommodating to all of our needs, including having a roasted pig for our traditional Filipino national food. I already want to renew our vows just to have our wedding Black Barn again! Absolutely amazing.

    Stunner of a venue

    We had our wedding at the Black Barn on 08/22/2021. If you're looking for a venue that is stress free and has just about everything you'd ever need for a wedding, then look no further! Wendy was amazing to work with, and was extremely accommodating when we had to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021 due to Covid. You can tell that the venue and grounds are well taken care of and that Wendy and her husband take a lot of pride in it - the Black Barn is an absolute stunner of a venue. Our guests were amazed at the beauty of the property and the amenities offered. We were married under the gorgeous willow tree right by the water - such a beautiful ceremony location! We honestly had very little decoration to add -- just table centerpieces for the beautiful farm tables they have ready. There were quite a few guests who enjoyed walking around the pond on the backend of the venue. Just about everyone we talked to at the wedding started off telling us how lovely the venue is and how we found out about it. Guests also loved that there were so many different places where they could roam and talk with other guests -- the main reception room, the outdoor deck (lovely at night with the string lights!), the tented gravel patio area, and the fire pit corner, which was a big hit for many of our guests! The Black Barn is absolutely splendid, and we hope we're able to attend a wedding as guests here so we can see it again!

    So glad we went with Black Barn

    I cannot say this enough... I am SO glad we went with Black Barn! When we were searching for our perfect venue, they had the date we originally wanted. Two days before we were going to do our tour, they booked the date. We almost didn't go because of that, but I am so glad that we did. We immediately fell in love with the aesthetic of it, and Wendy is so amazing to work with! Very prompt with email communication, and let us come out a few times to walk around and make sure we could make our vision happen.

    Beautiful venue

    The black barn wedding venue was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately it was outside of our price range.

    Words cannot describe the beauty of this venue!

    There are not enough words to truly describe how wonderful this venue is! It is absolutely breathtaking and I had many people tell me it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been too. The owner Wendy was so easy to work with and made the wedding planning process a breeze. Everyone at Black Barn went above and beyond to make sure that our day turned out as perfect as it could be. Even during COVID they did everything possible to make it happen for us and were so flexible. I can not recommend Black Barn enough!!!

    Amazing!!!

    This place took our breath away the moment we pulled into the parking lot while on the search for our perfect wedding venue. The whole place was stunning from the main venue room to the bathrooms/dressing rooms. The scenery surrounding the black barn was absolutely beautiful as well. The owner Wendy was very accommodating and always checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly and if there was anything we needed. All of our guest were blown away with the venue and are still talking about how wonderful it was. We had 175 guest who were very comfortable for the both the ceremony and reception with seating. Between the amazing customer service and warm welcomes from Wendy and the pure beauty of the venue, I highly recommend the Black Barn Vineyard and Winery!

    After looking at venue after venue for six months, my husband and I began to lose hope that we would find our perfect venue and we’d just have to settle. We stumbled upon the Black Barn and from the moment we pulled in the driveway we knew this was our venue. Wendy was so sweet and we could tell she really cared about making our day perfect. Megan honestly went above and beyond what we expected. From coordinating everything with our vendors to helping us nail down the final details, we are so glad we had Megan there to help us. This really is a family business and they worked very hard to make this the perfect venue - a perfect backdrop to our picture perfect day!

    Absolutely stunning location and great ownership! You still get the rustic barn setting but the added bonuses are bathrooms/fitting rooms onsite and a/c which you typically don't get at other barn locations. You also get the feel of a California winery setting which make for beautiful pictures. The family that owns the venue site is so accommodating and easy to work with I would highly recommend booking this site, it won't disappoint.

    The epitome of "rustic chic"

    I had always envisioned a barn wedding, but had a very particular vision. I didn't want a "rustic" barn wedding, like many I had attended or seen before, I wanted a "rustic chic" feel. As my fiancé struggled to understand this vision, I stumbled upon Black Barn. As soon as we pulled up, my fiancé said, "I get it now!". We knew instantly that this was the place for us.

    Wendy was incredibly flexible as we rescheduled our wedding three times due to COVID. The venue is completely gorgeous with multiple ceremony sites to choose from. Our guests were wowed and mentioned how it was unlike any other venues they had been to. And the fact that a month-of coordinator comes with the booking was invaluable. Rives Junction may be a little off the beaten path, but this venue is worth it!
