About this venue

Situated on a gentle rise at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, The Red Horse Barn Weddings & Events has a graceful, storybook charm that's as right for a rustic farmhouse gathering as it is for a chic Derby Day. With its sense of seclusion and unhurried vibe, this site is definitely a breath of fresh air. The property’s white paddock fences, expansive terrace, broad lawns, and meticulous landscaping lend an immediate air of sophistication to the scene. The showcase-quality, ultra-elegant 10-horse stable—complete with handsome equines—celebrates the high-end equestrian lifestyle. It’s perfect for all kinds of functions, from fancy fundraisers to company shindigs, but naturally our top choice for this location is weddings.

    The Perfect Venue

    From our first conversation with the team at The Red Horse Barn, we knew we'd found our venue. They responded quickly to our questions and made us feel heard throughout the entire planning process, offering thoughtful suggestions that truly shaped our day. The venue itself is stunning—it has this elevated backyard wedding feel that's both charming and elegant, exactly what we were looking for. The staff was attentive and professional on our wedding day, handling every detail so we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones. Everything came together beautifully, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how special the space felt. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're so grateful to the entire team at The Red Horse Barn for making our dream wedding come true.

    Michael Leitao•Aug 6, 2026

    Amy, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. It truly means a lot to our entire team. We're so happy that you felt supported from your very first conversation with us through your wedding day. We always want our couples to know they're being heard, and it's wonderful to hear that our suggestions helped bring your vision to life. I loved how you describe Red Horse Barn as having that perfect balance of backyard warmth and elegant charm. That's exactly the atmosphere we hope every couple and guest experiences. Thank you for trusting us with such an important day. It was an honor to be part of your wedding, and we wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless happy memories. Michael

    Amazing Venue

    The Red Horse Barn was an amazing wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, the team led by Michael and Robyn were incredibly helpful, attentive and honest in guiding us through the process. On the day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to their meticulous attention to detail - it truly felt like a family environment where we were made to feel part of their own. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious and very well-kept, providing a quiet and private setting that our guests raved about. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend The Red Horse Barn to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding venue.

    I had the pleasure of filming a wedding and reception on location at Red Horse Barn this past year and what an amazing place! The in-house event company are great to work with. They not only make sure that the wedding couple has a fantastic experience, but they make sure to work as a team with the other vendors to ensure that the whole day comes together seamlessly. As a videographer it's so refreshing to work at a location that really cares about their clients and their vendors. I can't wait to be back filming there again soon! Feel free to take a look at this clip from a recent wedding and reception we filmed there: Jacob & Rachel Sneak Peek https://vimeo.com/617407191

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than The Red Horse Barn! From our very first tour all the way through our wedding day, Michael was incredibly helpful and made us feel confident that we would be well taken care of every step of the way. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire planning process so much less stressful. Our wedding coordinator, Robyn, was absolutely amazing. She was instrumental in helping us get organized, providing timelines for the day, coordinating with photography, and making sure every detail was accounted for. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly because of her. She kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, which allowed us to truly enjoy every moment of our wedding. The entire day turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and so much of that is thanks to her hard work and organization. The cleanup afterward was swift and completely seamless, allowing us to simply enjoy the end of our night without worrying about a thing. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and fun the wedding was, but one of the things they mentioned most was how incredible the staff was. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We cannot recommend The Red Horse Barn enough. If you're looking for a venue with a beautiful setting and an exceptional team that truly cares about making your wedding unforgettable, this is the place!
