“It is an ideal location for an easy to get to wedding with lots of parking. The barn itself is iconic and amazing to photograph. The surrounding area is just so gorgeous and has great views in every direction. I highly suggest looking into Cowell Ranch Hay Barn for your wedding venue needs.”

Location
We are conveniently located at the base of the UC Santa Cruz campus, in Santa Cruz, CA. Adjacent to us, you will find the UCSC Farm managed by the Center for Agroecology.
“We hosted our 80-person wedding at the Hay Barn in late September 2024 and couldn’t have been more thrilled with the venue. I looked at hundreds of venues in the Bay Area online, including many that were more expensive. We picked the Hay Barn due to its reasonable price, flexibility, location, and ideal size for our guest count. It ended up being stunning and perfect for our needs.”
