Wedding Location: Rancho Dos Pueblos- The Barn

Kelly — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:36:42 +0000

I love me a good barn, and the one at Rancho Dos Pueblos is a favorite. Orginally built in 1917, it features open sides (so you can see the surround ranch) and can seat 250 comfortably.

Ceremonies can take place just accross from the barn at this 300 year sequoia tree. I have a wedding taking place here next year and I cannot wait!

To see photos of a wedding at the barn check out these via Oncewed.

Some notes:

All rentals- tables/chairs/linen need to be brought in
Bathroom units need to be brought in
A catering kitchen would need to be brought in
There is some power to the barn, but a generator is required for most weddings
Parking is available, though a shuttle is recommended.
Music must be off at 10pm.
Please email me for the location manager’s information.
