The White Barn - Edna Valley — Attraction in Grover Beach

My husband and I got married here in January. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and we had an amazing time. Alicia, the on site coordinator, was very easy to work with, and even made some phone calls to the owners about ideas that we had to try and make our vision come to life. She allowed us to have extra meetings because of the newer venue, allowed all of our vendors to come out and measure the new space, and allowed us to get creative with our decorations.

The venue is currently in the process of building a commercial kitchen for caters to use as well as permanent restroom facilities, so that will add even more value to the venue. They currently have trailers with the fancy portable toilets, which were plenty nice enough, but it will be great to have the permanent facilities.

The decomposed granite area with the bistro tables and string lights is incredible for cocktail hour we th good weather, and photos in front of the barn or some of our favorite from the wedding. We only used the space for our reception because we got married at the Mission, but it worked well for our 350 guests for the reception. We did dinner in the barn, and dancing outside. Because of our date in January, we were concerned about rain so we rented a tent that we placed in front of the barn. Without our guest count, it was not possible to do dinner and cocktail hour/dancing in the same space even with the huge barn, but the tent worked out well. One word of caution if you decide to use a tent though: you are not allowed to stake into the area in front of the barn or into any of the decomposed granite. If you were hoping to have a pretty sail cloth tent which is held up by tention unfortunately that is not an option in either of those two spaces. I believe that you could do it out on one of the large lawn areas, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the tent if it’s raining.

Also do be aware that if it rains, you will have to make alternative arrangements for parking because the venue does not allow for parking on the grass if it is raining. Luckily on our day that was not an issue, but we did make arrangements with Trinity Hall across the street to use their parking lot in the event of rain.

Overall, it’s an amazing venue that I still enjoy driving by when heading out to my in-laws house. It is probably the best value that you can find in Edna Valley, and I would get married there...

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...

I have been in the events industry for over 14 years. When it was finally my time to get married, I knew I was going to be picky and all choices would be hard. Making the first and biggest choice to book the White Barn was easier than I ever expected and exceeded all expectations.

My husband and I wanted to find a barn venue that work with both our personalities, a little rustic with a little glam. White Barn was the perfect fit. The landscaping is just GORGEOUS!! The facilities are easy to navigate and very ADA friendly. The new upgrades inside the barn give it the elegance without losing the rustic feel. Everyone one of our guests commented on the venue and how beautiful it was. SO much parking!! and logistically just the best venue. There are so many options for Ceremony, Cocktail and Dinner that you can really make it your own. Both my husband and I being in hospitality really feel in love with the care they operations team put into the back of house as well. They kitchen is immaculate and is sure to provide the best environment for any caterer to successfully execute your event.

Now the venue speaks for itself with how beautiful it is, but the TEAM is what made all the difference. The moment we met Alicia, I knew I was going to book with her. She is not only a pleasure to be around but knows her stuff. She is an operations magician and will help you with whatever you need. We ended up booking the houses on property as well and it truly made for the BEST WEDDING WEEKEND!!! I never wanted to leave.

I could not recommend White Barn enough for your wedding or...
