About Smith Farm Weddings & Events

A Northern California Barn Wedding Venue

Smith Farm is a historic barn venue in Susanville, California, known for its Western character, built-in saloon, and space to host large, family-centered weddings. Set against a mountain backdrop, the property feels established, real, and unapologetically itself.

The Experience

A Venue with Character

Weddings at Smith Farm feel grounded and familiar in the best way. Cowboy hats show up. Boots hit the dance floor. Guests gather in the barn, spill naturally into the saloon, and settle in for a long evening of celebration. The setting is classic, lived-in, and built for real moments, not staged ones.

Owner-operated by Donna, the venue is thoughtfully run with hands-on planning and on-site coordination, keeping large weddings organized, calm, and moving smoothly behind the scenes so couples and families can stay present and enjoy the day.

If you’re looking for a dreamy, well-run venue, this is it. I would choose it over and over again!

Our wedding at this venue exceeded every single expectation! From the breathtaking mountain backdrop to the gorgeous barn that feels both rustic and elevated, it was truly the most beautiful place I could’ve imagined saying I do. Donna made everything run seamlessly; I didn’t have to stress about a single thing. She handled the timeline, vendors, decor, everything with such calm confidence and care.
