From the reviews

I'm a wedding photographer who recently captured a wedding at Glen Ellen Farm. Prior to the wedding date, I read through some reviews that made me cautious of how I'd be treated by the venue owners. From the moment my team and I arrived, Debra and her assistant were very kind and helpful.

★★★★★ — Jontell, May 2021

When we first saw Glen Ellen Farm during our venue search, we knew this place was it. We did not want to look at any other places. Glen Ellen is definitely one of the most beautiful place. The garden, the beach area, the tent and barn ruins are a work of art.

★★★★★ — Sophia, Sep 2023

I can’t say enough good things about Glen Ellen Farm! The property is BEAUTIFUL and was so perfect in every way. The grounds are meticulously maintained, the house is beautiful, and Debbie is amazing. She answered all of my questions and you can tell she is truly passionate about what she does.

★★★★★ — Laura, Oct 2023

Glenn Ellen Farm is the perfect setting for a wedding or any celebration. We attended our great neice's wedding. It was beautiful with scenic spaces like a large pond, rock wall, room for a large tent, river rock and colorful flowers decorate the winding paths around the property. Best venue ever!

Getting married at Glen Ellen Farm

Glen Ellen Farm 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.
