About The Yellow Barn Farm Wedding Venue
9417 N Foothills Hwy, Longmont, Colorado 80503
Yellow Barn Farm is the kind of place that understands weddings. This historic farm is committed to putting the power back in the hands of the couple as they pull together all of those gorgeous details. In their words, they are all about “micro weddings with macro impact.” They ditch the idea of hidden fees and impossible rules and instead just give you the freedom to celebrate in your own unique way! Meanwhile, they are going to supply the location and the necessities.
Oh, and speaking of the building itself, this spot is going to deliver your “something old” and your “something new.” The renovated namesake barn was originally established as Allen’s Farm in 1864, where it worked as an international equestrian center. These days, the farm focuses on sustainable agriculture while using regenerative practices that will preserve the land for generations to come. They also celebrate all the cultures of the area, working alongside fellow farmers while also hosting things like indigenous-led celebrations. Basically, this is a group you are going to love working with!
Details of the Grounds
Yellow Barn Farm has everything you could need for your wedding day right on the grounds! Your morning can start out in the private getting ready suites, where both you and your partner will have separate spaces where you can get ready alongside your wedding party. Take your time putting on those finishing touches and breaking out that champagne as you make some memories long before the ceremony even starts!
Once it is time to exchange your vows, you can pick from both indoor and outdoor locations. For those who would prefer a bit of climate control, you can exchange your vows inside the barn. This spot stays true to its roots as an equestrian center, giving you bold, emerald green stalls on either side of the wall (neither the horses nor the smell will be included). With a wooden barn ceiling and several skylights, this spot remains pretty picture-perfect.
If you would prefer an outdoor celebration, get ready for luscious fields filled with wheat and flowers. This location is nestled on 100 private acres with breathtaking views overlooking the mountains as well as the barn. They are going to work with you to find the location that will make your day come to life!
For your cocktail hour, you can rent out a mobile cocktail caravan that you can put in the designated space. They have decked this area out, giving you tables and lighting to set the mood! You can bust out the yard games and take in the views while your guests sip on expertly prepared cocktails.
From here, it will be time for your reception. During this time, you will be able to pick between a party either inside the barn or underneath the stars. If you would prefer, the venue has some great tent companies they can refer to for you, so you can make sure you can celebrate come rain or shine! The cocktail hour space does have a stage that you will be able to use if you hire entertainment. Meanwhile, the inside gives you an open floor plan so you can spend hours dancing! Yellow Barn Farm specializes in micro weddings, giving you enough space for up to 150 guests.
Photography Opportunities
Yellow Barn Farm is a space so picture-perfect, it will feel as though it’s been placed here specifically for your portraits! The get-ready suites are located inside the event space, giving you that warm, rustic charm while you prepare for your wedding day. It’s the perfect backdrop for candid pics with your party!
Once it’s time for your first look pictures, you can head outside. There are so many great spots for this, but I’m a big fan of the wooden footbridge. With this location, you can share this intimate moment while a tranquil creek flows past you.
You can continue to take couple’s pictures outside, taking full advantage of the mountains in the backdrop. The rich fields are going to be the best spot to share a kiss, especially once the sun starts to set! And of course, getting some pictures in front of the scenic barn is a must!
Wedding Details
One of the best things about Yellow Barn Farm is how easy they are to work with! They offer straightforward packages with different tiers so you can choose what you want for your celebration. With all of their options, you are going to get tables, chairs, and a venue and event coordinator team. They are also going to provide you with drinks and catering made using farm-fresh ingredients. From there, you will be able to choose options like seasonal blooms and an event tent.
This venue has built up a team of approved vendors who they know will make your wedding stand apart. You can find everything from entertainment to stylists with their guide. They even offer a wedding day dog concierge service so your adorable pup doesn’t have to miss out on all the fun!
