California Barn Weddings {Vintage, Country, Chic}

When you think of California wedding venues, barns don't typically come to mind. The oh so sought after barn inspired, vintage weddings are often hard to find in the land of sunny beaches and ritzy estates. There are a few, however, and each one is unique, charming, and absolutely perfect if you are seeking that rustic, vintage barn theme.

Vineyard Ranch & Barn - Glen Ellen

Cabernet grapes hang heavy on rows of vines disappearing towards the eastern mountains, and a long view of Sonoma Valley stretches before you. This is only one of the lovely scenes you see as you survey Vineyard Ranch’s idyllic surroundings and consider all the possibilities. 



The 140-year-old ranch is spread out over 70 acres, with horses roaming the property amidst olive trees, vineyards and organic gardens. Numerous areas on the estate lend themselves to events, especially the contemporary barn and gardens. Included with this stunning setting are the services of one of the Bay Area’s most elite planners, Julie Atwood Events (JAE). Their team offers complete wedding planning from start to finish, as well as site tours of other exclusive properties for rehearsal parties, brunches, and other events.
