Four Seasons Barn for Your Wedding Reception
The First Dance inside the Four Seasons Barn
The Highlands Estate in Sonoma County offers a stunning climate-controlled barn, known as the Four Seasons Barn, that combines rustic charm with modern amenities, making it the perfect venue for your wedding reception. Here’s how to make the most of this beautiful space for your special day.
The Four Seasons Barn is a versatile and elegant space that can be customized to reflect your unique style and vision. The barn’s wooden beams, high ceilings, and spacious interior create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The climate control ensures your guests will be comfortable regardless of the weather – hot or cold, allowing you to plan your wedding with confidence.
Elegant dining using the hand-crafted farm tables
One of the standout features of the barn is its ability to seamlessly blend rustic and chic elements. The wooden beams and natural materials provide rustic charm, while the modern amenities, such as the ADA compliant restroom and elegant décor options add sophistication. The barn includes hand-crafted farm tables, dimmable wagon wheel chandeliers, and fairy lights, which add a magical touch to the space. Many times, a DJ will use uplighting to highlight the architectural features of the barn and create a dramatic effect.
The spacious interior of the barn allows for a variety of seating arrangements and layouts. Whether you prefer creating long rows with the included farm tables, round tables, or a mix of both, the barn can accommodate your desired setup. Many couples have created different zones within the space, such as a dining area, a dance floor, and a lounge area with comfortable seating. This allows your guests to move freely and enjoy different aspects of the reception.
