Nestled in the heart of Edna Valley, The White Barn is an authentic wedding and special events venue in the San Luis Obispo area. The barn's scenic views, idyllic setting, and distinctive character are breathtaking and historical. Surrounded by the Santa Lucia Mountains, the large rustic dairy barn, accommodating up to 300 guests, has been recently transformed into a magical wedding and special events venue strewn with lights, creating the experience you have been dreaming of. The barn's original old weathered redwood paneling creates the perfect backdrop for your event, and its open floor plan makes way for any reception setup. Adjacent to the barn is a beautifully manicured lawn for celebratory drinks and cocktails under West Coast skies, with the property's tropical flora adding a lush fragrance to your festivities.
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! Reviewed on 23-10-2023

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. Reviewed on 25-06-2023

Kayla Gilmore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 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!:) Reviewed on 05-01-2023
Lauren Drewniany(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 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. Reviewed on 06-11-2022
Rachael Osgood(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-03-2022 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 <3 Reviewed on 29-05-2022
Jake Baccay(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2021 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!

Sherry S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-03-2021 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! Reviewed on 29-04-2021
McKenzie Porter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-10-2019 The Venue truly allows for options big and small. You're not bound by certain chairs or certain dishware that comes with the venue. It is a clean slate. The Venue is able to move in the rustic direction or be transformed in to a more modern atmosphere. We wanted a venue that had on property housing, room for dining inside, and able to create from scratch- The White Barn met all of our expectations. We are so happy with our Wedding venue! Thank you to the White Barn team. Reviewed on 07-11-2019
Katrina Mayes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2019 This venue is truly magical! It was the first and only venue I toured and I don’t have any regrets. The houses are amazing, the staff is accommodating, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. I wouldn’t change one thing about my wedding day, my venue or my vendors. Everyone worked together (vendors and the venue) to put together a fairytale wedding. When people think barn, they think a working ranch, but this barn is so much more than that! With so many options and open space, you really do have the opportunity to create something spectacular! Reviewed on 27-10-2019
Andrea Allen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 I don’t know that there are enough words to say just how great The White Barn is. My husband and I took our engagement photos there, and instantly fell in love and decided to get married there as well. As soon as we set our date, the whole White Barn team was there to handle any concerns I had, which there were none. Alicia is basically a superhero and did so much for me without me even having to ask. I constantly felt like they knew exactly what I wanted it a wedding and they were going to fulfill that. The houses you got ready in were convenient and also beautiful. This hidden gem of a venue blew me away. On my wedding day everything went perfect and I know that had to do with the White Barn team.

Delaine Leary(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2019 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!D&S Reviewed on 22-09-2019

They keep the venue impeccable, it is brand new, very large facility and some beautiful houses attached to stay in. Compared to all the other venues in SLO, you definitely get your money worth. Everyone who worked with us were very professional and fair. They even went above and beyond when needed. Especially Alicia! You will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 19-11-2018
JULIA MARTINEZ(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2018 We love The White Barn! The barn and it's staff were everything we could have hoped for and more. The barn itself is just gorgeous with the surrounding grounds and views equally beautiful. There is a cute little windmill and fire pit which was a huge hit with our guests and plenty of space to have multiple lounges and set up lawn games. Alicia and her staff recommend fantastic vendors and I can honestly say our wedding day went on without a hitch (if anything went wrong, I still don't know!). We live about 3 hours away and Alicia and her team were so accommodating when we were in town and needed to meet with vendors or if we just wanted to stop by, they are so welcoming. Another great thing about the property are the houses, it was so special to stay at the venue and watch our wedding come together from across the fields. We stayed for 4 days and it was a great way to be involved with our wedding but also have a little hideaway not being at the hotel with everyone. We can't wait to stop by the barn and stay at the house the next time we're in the area. The White Barn is a truly special venue! Reviewed on 13-11-2018

Not only the barn itself a perfect venue but offering the cottages to family and pre-wedding events was so valuable in hindsight. Alicia was extremely helpful, friendly, and informative throughout the wedding process. She was quick to answer any emails or calls I had about the barn and made sure the wedding weekend turned out beautiful and organized. I am so thankful that we were able to get married at such a beautiful venue. I highly recommend getting a tour and meeting the amazing staff. Reviewed on 30-09-2018
