Top Features to Look for in a Barn Wedding Venue
Can you picture your dream wedding in a charming barn in Los Angeles, surrounded by all the people you want to be part of your special day? But before you fall head over heels for the first barn you see, let’s discuss several crucial features that make it the perfect venue for your wedding.
What's available for guests to use? Let's face it, barn venues are often in the countryside, which is part of their allure. But that also means it's extra important they have the essentials. Think nice, clean bathrooms (no one wants port-a-potties), a kitchen or catering area, and good heating/cooling to keep everyone happy campers, whatever the weather throws at them.
Is it accessible? Some barns have uneven grounds, so check if it has appropriate pathways, ramps, and accessible bathrooms. How about those with mobility issues and the elderly? Would it be easy for them to move around the area during the reception?
How easy is it to get there? Even if it’s miles from downtown Los Angeles, what’s important is that it’s well-connected and easy to get to whether guests are driving or taking public transport.
How to Plan a Barn Wedding
There's something undeniably romantic about barn wedding venues, and if you've fallen for their country elegance, you’re not alone. But since it’s not your average wedding venue, we’ve created this guide with helpful tips to make the planning process a breeze and ensure your dream wedding becomes a reality.
Find the Perfect Barn – It’s easy to say but hard to do, especially if you don’t know where to start. For starters, think about the location. How long does it take to get there? Can guests take the bus or train, or is a private vehicle a must?
List All the Amenities You Need – You won’t want to start the ceremony and realize there’s not much space for caterers or the heating and cooling systems aren’t working properly. List all your needed amenities and services and see what’s included in the barn venue rental. The local vendors and suppliers are your allies for additional wedding items.
Set the Scene – This is where you can personalize your barn wedding and make it your own. You have tons of décor options to choose from! String lights, lanterns, or chandeliers can go a long way to creating a magical and romantic atmosphere, as well as mismatched chairs and natural fabrics for a unique vibe.
Be Creative with Food and Drinks – You have the option of bringing your own caterer, consider family-style meals, a buffet, or food trucks for a chill vibe. If the space allows, why not have an open bar?
Barn Wedding Expenses to Plan For
It’s so easy to get caught up in the dreamy details and fail to notice those sneaky expenses that can sometimes pop up, which can add up if you’re not prepared. Read on to help you stay on track and have the barn wedding of your dreams without financial hiccups.
Everything about the venue.
You might think that once you’ve paid the rental fee, you’re all set. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Although some barn venues ask that you pay only for the space you’ll use for the ceremony and reception, others will require you to make separate payments for on-site staff, AV equipment, tables and chairs, and cleaning fees. Watch out for these and other hidden costs.
Will you pay for entertainment?
Do you want a live musician to play romantic tunes as everyone walks down the aisle or a DJ to get the party started at the reception? Photo booths are also a hit. No matter what form of entertainment you want for the event, you have to budget for them.
How about photography and videography?
Do you need them in the sense of absolute survival? No, you'll still be married without them! But do they add immense value and allow you to relive your special day for years to come? Absolutely! Most couples find that having professional photos and videos is one of the best investments they make for their wedding.
