From the reviews

New ownership is amazing, love what they’ve done with the place! Wonderful place for any and all of your events from birthday parties to weddings!

★★★★★ — Gabriel, May 2024

Wonderful place. Great place to have a party or event. The ability to sit back and watch the animals at your doorstep is great and very relaxing. The market is the perfect mix of Texas and fun. We were guests and the guest house was perfect and very well laid out. The owner is very nice and very friendly.

★★★★★ — Wayne, May 2022

Great selection of unique texas brands, local specialty meats and great customer service. I have an event booked at The Barn for next weekend!

★★★★★ — Jo, May 2022

Nice gift shop between Longview and Gilmer. They have done a nice job renovating the old store. They have Texas and red dirt themed gifts and apparel. They also carry a pretty large selection of different meats for sale. We bought some bacon and steaks. The sodas are awesome!! Some of the best I've tasted.

Getting married at Sunshine Ridge

Sunshine Ridge 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.

Corporate events & private parties at Sunshine Ridge

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Sunshine Ridge — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
