About The Red Barn Farms Wedding Venue
501 Wawawai Road
Colton, Washington 99113
Located in Colton, Washington, Red Barn Farms is no ordinary farm. Although it has its roots as a “century farm,” one that has been owned and operated by many generations of the same family, this beautiful property is now a gorgeous wedding venue.
Red Barn Farms came to fruition in 1901, and four different generations of the Meyer family have operated it. In 2007, Ty and Kay Meyer shifted the farm’s focus to become a stunning, unique wedding venue to welcome couples as they celebrate their special day.
Ty and Kay dreamed of transforming the barn and homestead into a beautiful country event venue. This farm is still family owned and operated but now stands as one of Washington’s most unique wedding and event venues. Moreover, this little family farm offers a glimpse into country life in a peaceful, private setting.
