In this week's episode of The Venue Rx Podcast, our host Jonathan Aymin sits down with Ryan and Danielle Patrick, owners of The Red Barn Weddings & Events. Ryan and his wife share their journey of transforming their walnut orchard in Northern California into a wedding venue. They delve into the hurdles they encountered, such as securing county approval and building permits, and detail the renovations undertaken to transform the property into a suitable space for weddings. The couple reflects on their agricultural backgrounds and the transition into the wedding industry. Sharing insights, they elaborate on booking events, handling power supply logistics during functions, and adapting venue packages to accommodate diverse needs. Additionally, they shed light on their respective roles in the business, their approaches to marketing, and their future aspirations for the venue.

About Our Guests: 

Ryan and Danielle are the owners of The Red Barn Weddings & Events. The Red Barn has been in Ryan's family for over 25 years, undergoing various transformations from a Nuts & Gifts Store to a Walnut Hulling & Shelling facility, and most recently becoming the beautiful venue it is today.

In 2018, Ryan and Danielle made the decision to expand and redefine the future of The Red 

Barn. Through research, hard work, and patience, they navigated the permit process and embarked on a journey of renovations. Their official permit was obtained in June 2019, marking the beginning of the transformation from a Walnut Huller to a Wedding Venue. Over the course of a year, they created the bridal suite, groom suite, renovated the reception barn, and added a spacious 15,000 sq. ft. lawn for the ceremony area, all in preparation to host remarkable weddings and events.

However, just as they were on the verge of opening, the pandemic struck, altering the landscape of special events. Undeterred, Ryan and Danielle used this time to enhance and create additional remarkable spaces for future weddings. Now, The Red Barn features a large wooden arbor, a stunning chandelier for romantic first dances, and a truck stage capable of hosting either a band or a DJ, allowing guests to dance the night away under the stars.
