How the day moves through the property.
Every space is yours from the moment the suites open. Here's how most couples use them.
9 am
Suites open
Hair, makeup and the first glass of something in the get-ready suites.
Ceremony
Say I do
In the air-conditioned chapel, under the courtyard's market lights, or in the covered pavilion.
Cocktail hour
Out to the courtyard
Lawn games, swings and high-tops between the buildings, with the pavilion's window wall for photos.
Reception
Dinner and the dance floor
Oak tables for up to 150 under ring chandeliers, with room left for the party.
10 pm
Last song
Music and receptions end by 10 pm under the Orange County noise ordinance. Sparklers need our approval first.
The good to know.
- A coordinator is required
- A professional coordinator runs your timeline and vendors on the day. We can recommend coordinators who know the barn.
- Rain plan built in
- The chapel and reception room are indoors and air-conditioned, and the pavilion is covered. No tent needed.
- Bring your own team
- Outside vendors are welcome with a business license and $1 million in liability insurance naming The Black Barn.
- Pets are family
- Dogs can join the ceremony and photos, then head home or rest crated in the bridal suite.
- Every couple welcome
- We celebrate every couple, with no exceptions.
