Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is there an additional per person rental charge after the first 100 people?
A: The Red Barn Villa Venue wants to be flexible with their price based on the amount of people at the event. Some venues charge a flat fee whether you have 100 people or 300 people. We don't want you over paying for extra people if you plan on having a small event. The base rate for the first 100 people is what we charge to open the venue, staff the venue, and clean the venue before and after the event.
Q: Do you have preferred vendors.
A: Yes we do! We choose to work with them because we found them to be professional, reliable, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable of our facilities, policies and regulations.

They always make the communication easy and wedding day stress free for our wonderful brides and grooms.

On the day of your wedding, our venue host is responsible for coordinating the venue staff to make sure the set up of tables, chairs, linens, and accessories is done properly. She is present when the vendors show up to answer questions but is not present during the full wedding. She returns towards the end of your wedding to facilitate clean up of venue rentals. If you would like a full day-of-wedding coordinator we have references.
