From the reviews
We go here every year, two years ago we moved to Hidden Valley Lake in Lake County. We drove for 1 1/2 hours to come here. Have never been disappointed. We love the Crane Barn.
quaint and homey place for a wedding. It gave a rustic feel, only down side is when it rains, the growns become very difficult to walk in due to the mud. Would recommend a low key wedding here again.
We attended a milestone birthday party for a friend. It's a charming, casual, real Sonoma County kind of place. Hey, it's a BARN. It comfortably accommodated 80 for a sit down dinner....AND still had room for a band, a dance floor, and a photo booth. There were heaters...
Absolutely love Crane Melons! They are so delicious. Found out Crane Melon season started last Sunday, purchased 4, just went yesterday and purchased 4 more, yes they are that good. The people at the Crane Melon Barn, are kind and courteous and will answer any questions that you might have.
Getting married at Crane Melon Barn
Crane Melon Barn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
