Weddings at Pie Ranch year-round celebrations

The Roadside Barn is a festive and inviting space for a nighttime indoor event. With a capacity up to 150 people, it's the perfect spot to end the night with cake and dancing. Please note the roadside barn is not available for exclusive use until 6:00 p.m because the barn doubles as our public Farmstand storefront during the day.

• 23’ x 50’ open rectangle space inside the barn
• 6 tables, for use either inside or outside
• PA system for recorded or live music
• Outdoor area with string lights
• String lights inside the barn
• 2 portable restrooms, serviced before your event

Rental Obligations

1. Contract and Deposit: Pie Ranch will generate a contract for the event, as determined by the rental options and additions. The deposit is 25% of the total fee, due within two weeks after the contract is sent. Late payments will be assessed 1.5% per week. Payment by check only. Checks can be mailed to: Pie Ranch, PO Box 363, Pescadero, CA 94060

2. Obtain and Provide Proof of Liability Insurance: Guests must provide Pie Ranch with proof of liability insurance and name Pie Ranch as an additional insured on the liability policy for the day(s) of the facility rental. Proof of insurance must be provided to Pie Ranch no later than one day before the facility use. Coverage must be no less than $500,000 when no alcohol is served, and no less than $1,000,000 when alcohol is served. Failure to provide proof of insurance will result in cancellation of the event.

3. Secure an Event Coordinator or Day of Coordinator: We have found that having a dedicated point person to oversee the details on your big day is a critical support piece to a successful event. This person will help manage the set-up, transport, and flow of rentals, people, and other such items, and having this lead contact for vendors, guests, etc. to go to (rather than the two of you on your wedding day) is a very valuable element of support. Past guests have hired a Day-of Coordinator, secured a person to do full coordination, or had their very detail-oriented friend manage all the moving parts so that they could focus on enjoying the celebration. Please Note: This site rental includes a Pie Ranch site manager for support that will be available to serve as a knowledgeable resource of where things are on the farm and can direct your coordinator accordingly. This person won’t be responsible for directing clean-up crews, clearing or boxing up rentals, etc.

4. Cleaning Deposit Due at Walkthrough: A cleaning deposit of $250 is due at the time of the walkthrough. Upon successful completion of the clean up checklist, we will shred this check.

5. Final Payment: Full payment is due no later than two weeks prior to your event.

6. Weather Policy: In the event of rain or other related natural occurrences, Pie Ranch may be forced to cancel partial aspects of the event or the event in its entirety. Prior to cancellation, Pie Ranch will consult with you to determine available options. We strongly encourage you to arrange additional shelter (tents) if an event is scheduled between the months of October –April. Should Pie Ranch be forced to cancel, all deposits will be promptly returned. Guest agrees to not hold Pie Ranch liable for any losses incurred as a result of weather-related cancellations.
