From the reviews
We had the absolute best experience with Pam and Abby! They went above and beyond to make sure we had no worries with anything the day of, the venue was great and all of our guests enjoyed every minute of the reception!!
Steve, Pam and Abbey are professionals within their business. They tweak each detail from cleanliness to interaction to the their seasoned wait staff and phenomenal food. The decor is imaginative, unique and always changing to make you feel cozy, warm and truly welcome.
As the Caterer for a wedding there recently I was greatly supported by Pam and her staff in helping with the food set up serving the head table as well as clean up and loading.
Hands down 10/10! We would highly recommend this venue for your wedding. Pam and Abbey went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We initially fell in love with the charming wedding barn, but we ended up falling in love with the whole family! Absolutely amazing people to work with!
Getting married at Ehrler Ranch Wedding and Special Event Barn
Ehrler Ranch Wedding and Special Event 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.
