    Best Decision for Our Wedding

    We are so thrilled that we chose the White Barn as our wedding venue. It was the most beautiful location, and we continue to get compliments about it from our guests. It is large enough to accommodate big groups comfortably, and we could utilize different spaces for the different events of our wedding day. While the property is absolutely stunning, the team at the White Barn is what sets it apart from other venues. From the day we inquired about checking out the venue, Alicia Cocks (Director of Events) was warm, knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to work with. We felt we could go to Alicia with any question or ask her for help and she was always happy to assist. Working with her and her team truly made our planning process smooth and enjoyable. Our wedding day went perfectly, and we know Alicia and her team's expertise played a big role in the success of the day. We feel we got to know Alicia as a friend, and we recommend anyone who is considering the White Barn to choose it for their event!

    Look no further!

    My husband and I were looking for a unique wedding venue and I decided to look up barn wedding venues. We live almost 4 hours from San Luis Obispo but the reviews, photos and feedback we saw on The White Barn impressed us. We took a tour with Alicia who made us feel at ease and important. She answered all of our questions that day and was very responsive with all of my communications. We looked at a number of other venues but decided White Barn was the right choice. They property is so well manicured, clean, charming and the barn was the perfect canvas for us to paint our vision of the perfect wedding and ceremony. We got married in front of the Barn which is such a beautiful and being white, made all of the other details pop. They also have houses on the property which we rented for our immediate family. The entire staff is professional and made our dream wedding come true.
    With gratitude,
    Suzi and John

    Stunning venue with the most helpful staff!

    The White Barn was the perfect venue for me a my husband. The onsite accommodations were extremely convenient (and beautiful!) and the staff was extremely helpful throughout the process and the day of the wedding. Also, a huge bonus for us, they’re dog friendly! Alicia, the event manager, was an absolute joy to work with and was extremely helpful the couple days leading up to our wedding - she even helped upload our car and ran around with our dog! I would highly recommend this venue for anyone considering getting married in central CA.

    A Wonderful Venue

    I can not recommend The White Barn enough! We had our wedding there on October 1, 2022 and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment we first toured The White Barn in January 2021, the team was incredible. Alicia was always so helpful and responsive when we had any questions about the venue or needed a second opinion on a vendor choice or event decision. She was an excellent partner to our wedding planner and our entire vendor team which made the day go so smoothly.

    In addition to the team being wonderful, the venue itself is stunning! It is so well manicured and you just can't beat the landscaping. The barn has an ability to be transformed no matter what your vision is which made it so easy to bring our vision to life. The layout of the property is also conducive to an enjoyable event experience for all guests. Having everything close together on level ground made it easy for grandparents to move around the venue creating a stress free day for all.

    We could not be happier with our choice to celebrate our special day here.

    Amazing! Everything i dreamed of!

    Growing up, It was always my dream to get married in a barn. That being said, trying to find a barn in California that could accommodate my 300+ guest count turned out to be a difficult task, until, I stumbled upon The White Barn. After completing my venue tour with Alicia, I knew The White Barn was where I wanted to get married. I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Alicia and her team, they truly go above and beyond for their clients. They never give NO as an answer, they always work overtime to make sure the bride dreams become a reality. I think my wedding at The White Barn in September 2022 will be a wedding every vendor, guest, and bridal party member will remember forever as it was the first wedding at The White Barn where it rained. Yes, you read that correctly, we got married under blue skies on the grass area at 2pm and by 4pm when reception doors opened, it was pouring down rain. One would think as the bride, I would be freaking out, however, I truly embraced the moment. Alicia and team had everything under control and made my day absolutely AMAZING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE WHITE BARN TO EVERYONE!:)

    The perfect venue!


    White Barn was incredible! As a same sex couple, it was extremely important to us that we worked with a venue that made us feel supported and accepted. This is exactly what we got from Alicia and her team at the white barn. They were amazing from start to finish. They were extremely responsive and organized, they were attentive, and they were such a pleasure to work with. We ended up with the wedding of our dreams, and we are eternally grateful. We cannot say enough about what a perfect experience this was. Wish we could do it all over again!!

    This Venue Is MAGIC!

    This venue is beyond amazing. My mom and I knew instantly when we walked on the property that this was the one! On top of it, Alicia showed us around and she not only sold us on it, but also on herself. She works with so much confidence, that you know you wouldn't want your wedding anywhere else!!

    Its a breathtaking view, an incredible team, but also just an experience all it's own. Alicia dealt in grace with everything and made the things I was worried about seem like no big deal. So much of our day went smoothly because of her!

    Also, definitely recommend the Farm House as a get ready spot for your ladies/gents or as a weekend stay for the Bride & Groom. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy each other after all the excitement had settled.
    The White Barn has a certain magic about it and all our guests agreed it was the spot to be! We couldn't be more thankful!

    The White Barn is Simply the Best

    The White Barn was the perfect venue for the wedding of our dreams! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the staff is engaging, helpful, and professional to ensure that every detail of the wedding weekend turns out perfectly. We would highly recommend The White Barn as a venue to anyone looking to get married in the San Luis Obispo area -- you will not regret it!

    The best venue ever!

    If you’re considering The White Barn, just book it!! It is absolutely magical. We toured a ton of venues, but none of them even compared to The White Barn. From the stunning mountain views to the modern barn, it was perfect for us. I’ve been married for over 2 months and I STILL get compliments on how beautiful the venue was. We were on the fence about renting the homes on the property, and I'm so glad we did! It was such a beautiful setting for my bridal party and I to get ready in.

    Even though the venue is amazing, the best part was Alicia and her team. We initially were going to get married in 2021, but had to postpone because of the pandemic. Alicia was extremely accommodating and helpful during that tough time. She also made the planning process so easy! Anytime I needed recommendations or had questions, she was readily available. The one time I hired someone that she didn’t recommend, I ended up regretting it and firing them. I truly feel our day was only perfect because of the vendors we hired (that Alicia recommended). Alicia was especially helpful the day of the wedding. I was having a ton of anxiety (I had a panic attack the morning of) and she said something that I’ll never forget. She told me that even though I’m having anxiety now, the second I walk down the aisle all that anxiety will go away because I’ll be looking down the aisle at the man I love. She of course was right. She always went above and beyond to make sure our big day was perfect.

    Alicia + team, I can’t thank you enough for helping facilitate the wedding of my dreams. I wish I could get re-married to Zach every year just so I could hang out with you guys!! You all are the best

    A Gem on the Central Coast!

    Alicia and her team have created a wonderful space to get married. They are constantly making improvements and thinking about how to improve the flow of a wedding day! We always enjoy working here and can't wait to come back soon.

    The White Barn's reply:

    Thank you for noticing all of our improvements and these kind words! We love having you out at our venue!

    Stunning Venue!!

    I am a wedding planner and designer and had the pleasure of working at The White Barn recently, and all I can say is WOW!!! To start off with, Alicia was super responsive and kind leading up to the event. She answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. On the day of, she was on site to make sure everything was going smoothly. The grounds are gorgeous and very well taken care of. There is ample power, a great catering kitchen, and clean and beautiful bathrooms. I can't wait to work here again! Stop looking and get married at The White Barn.

    The white barn was spectacular

    The White Barn in Edna Valley was everything we expected and more! Alicia and her team were fantastic from the first time we met them back in 2019. They were incredibly helpful as we navigated rescheduling that came with the pandemic. We were lucky enough to use this venue twice: an intimate wedding in 2020 and our big celebration this past summer. The White Barn is a truly special place just outside of SLO on the Central Coast. Beautiful landscape, tons of space, and great weather for our summer wedding. It was truly the perfect canvas to create the wedding my wife and I wanted. Nothing but love for the White Barn!

    Most gorgeous venue on the Central Coast!

    The White Barn was a dream come true! We knew it was the one when we first visited. It's a huge barn with lots of usable space unlike other venues we visited that had lots of obstacles to work around. We had a pretty big guest list so this was a plus for us when we were looking for our venue. The outdoor space is beautiful and surrounded by hills and dreamy views. There is plenty of parking, a kitchen for your caterer's use, and really nice and clean permanent bathrooms on the property. Alicia (Director of Operations & Events) went above and beyond when our plans changed multiple times due to COVID. She was professional, really friendly, encouraging, and extremely supportive especially through the tough decisions we had to make with rescheduling our wedding. We knew she had our backs the entire time and she made the whole experience as smooth as can be. Thank you to Alicia and The White Barn team for the wedding of our dreams. We cannot wait to come back and visit! Highly recommend The White Barn in Edna Valley!

    The most amazing venue!

    So let me start by saying; if you are at all venue searching in SLO county and The White Barn is on your list, just say yes! This was the first and only venue I looked at, however, that wasn’t the plan originally as we had 3 other venue tours that month. From the moment we pulled up and parked our cars I absolutely fell in love. Then, we met Alicia the manager (who is amazing by the way) and I immediately vibed with her. She explain the whole process in detail, gave me her cell phone number in case I had questions, and I ended up leaving that day knowing 100% that was my venue. I did a “soft” book and cancelled all my other venue showings. From the housing rentals, to the management team the week and night of, to the venue itself, it was an absolute dream come true! I promise, you won’t regret it if you use them as your venue! Love, The Loy Wedding 10/12/19

    The White Barn's reply:

    We LOVE that you knew we were the one for you! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, we don't know what we did to deserve such an awesome couple like you guys!

    Immaculate

    My husband and I originally booked the white barn for our engagement photos. We loved it so much that we decided we wanted to get married there. Alicia, and the entire white barn crew, was so incredibly helpful and made my whole wedding experience enjoyable. I never had to worry about anything. They were always available to meet and anytime I had a concern they would address it right away. I can’t say enough good things about the venue. My day was perfect and I know they played a huge role in that.

    The White Barn's reply:

    OMG thank you for the kindest words! Your day was so magical and we are going to miss seeing your face as often as we did!

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    The White Barn was everything I could've hoped for in my wedding venue, and more. All the grounds are perfectly kept, and the barn itself was absolutely stunning. It is now two weeks after my wedding and I am still receiving compliments on how beautiful my wedding was. Alicia was so helpful, supportive, and an overall a pleasure to work with. One of the best parts about this venue is that it has cottages you can stay in on the grounds, which made getting ready and being on time so easy! Overall, it was a great experience and I am so grateful I chose The White Barn.

    The White Barn's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Gabi! It was truly amazing being able to be apart of yours and JT's special day!

    The Perfect Setting & Team

    From the moment you step onto the property, it’s not hard to see why this is such a popular venue. The white barn’s vibrant exterior is stunning and the rolling hills in the background make for a truly serene setting. The closer you get, though, the more you begin to appreciate the fine details that make it so unique. The natural light that seeps in between the slats of its wooden frame highlight the character of its exposed wood interior making for a surreal setting for your day. What really sets the White Barn apart, though, is its incredible staff. Alicia, the events coordinator, and her staff are extremely detail-oriented, organized and, overall, a joy to work with. Alicia takes the time to get to know couples personally and truly helps them envision their wedding day. Early in the planning process, we asked her which planners she felt would fit well with our style and personalities and the 2 she suggested (1 of which we hired after a very difficult deliberation) could not have been more perfect for us. She continued to be a tremendous resource for us throughout the process helping ensure that everything about our weekend would run smoothly. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff and she did exactly that and helped deliver the wedding of our dreams without a single hitch - or at least none they allowed us or our guests to notice. Our advice to anyone considering the White Barn: the gorgeous backdrop for your wedding and reception is one thing, but the people that work there make this venue truly special.

    Cheers!

    Dream Wedding Venue

    Aside from being the most GORGEOUS venue we could have asked for, all of the staff at The White Barn were incredibly helpful, attentive, and well-informed throughout the entire wedding planning process as well as the day of the wedding. Working with them was a breeze and I am so thankful that we chose to have our wedding there.

    The White Barn's reply:

    Thank you so much Molly for your kind words about our venue! You're wedding day was absolutely GORGEOUS and you two were a dream to work with. Please stop by whenever you'd like!!

    Amazing experience and amazing day!

    It was an amazing experience having our wedding at The White Barn! Alicia & Amanda were a pleasure to work with and are very organized. The new addition of restrooms on the property is a huge plus. It was so easy to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaced throughout the different areas on the property without our guests having to walk too far or drive. Everyone had a great time! The property is well kept, landscaping is stunning, and you can't beat the view of the Santa Lucia Hills.

    The houses on the property are also so fun! They are very close to the barn which made it convenient and comfortable for the girls to get ready there in the morning. The decor is adorable!

    LOVE The White Barn!!!

    Cannot day enough about the incredible White Barn Edna Valley. We were able to create our dream day at this breathtaking venue. Alicia was so helpful and attentive. The guests were obsessed with the views and we loved transforming the space into our vision.

    The most perfect venue

    The White Barn blew away all expectations on our wedding day! It was beautiful, timeless, and stunning. The houses to get ready in were perfect, everyone on staff was very helpful and friendly & we truly had the best experience. It was the most perfect place for our wedding day giving us the feel of some slight country with a touch of modern. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for your perfect day, you will not regret it. We are still continually getting compliments on how beautiful the venue was for our perfect day.
