A Grand Barn on Spacious Land

Red Barn Studios opened in 2005 as a wedding and event venue. Since that time, people from all across the world have gathered within the walls of the barn to celebrate with friends and family. The 1937 former dairy barn was renovated with careful consideration and updated with some modern amenities, such as a kitchen and restrooms. Located in Chehalis, Washington, the 25-acre property is situated midway between Portland and Seattle.
