Weddings
The Barn at Tanque Verde Ranch caters to the fashionable trend of rustic and modern wedding venues that are in high demand across the United States. With tall vaulted ceilings, industrial Edison light bulbs dangling inside and out, and open square footage —this venue exclaims charm, with a southwest equestrian touch.
Make your grand entrance through the central 2-story-modern barn door or from the east side wall, which has panoramic, sliding windowed doors that glide open to an additional 40 feet. Open the doors to allow for fresh air and more open space. An 18 feet wide gas, stone-built fireplace crawls up the south end for the main focal point. Several wooden columns complete the structure and pillars add a modern yet, old character depending on what drapery and decor the clients decide to use. Undressed, the rafters and posts solely are alluring.
The generous Dining Room allows for a wide variety of arrangements for both ceremonies and receptions. Ideally, thirty-five tables seating 10 guests each can be placed throughout including additional space for several high-top cocktail tables. The exterior lawn terrace provides the same substantial area for seating. The 2,700 sq.ft. polished bar space stretches from the inside and around the corner to the outside lawn.
The event lawn faces east towards the mountainous landscape and will welcome plenty of opportunities for the event to carry on with a permanent stage, dance space and delicate dangling lights crisscrossing throughout the terrace.
