Newcastle Gardens

Newcastle Wedding Gardens & Red Horse Barn is a heritage event property established in 1906, set on a twelve-acre private estate in the Sierra Foothills town of Newcastle, California — just minutes off I-80 below Auburn. The grounds center on a two-acre sweep of manicured gardens shaded by a 200-year-old oak tree, framing an outdoor ceremony setting alongside a granite rock waterfall and koi pond. The property offers two distinct event spaces. The Wedding Garden accommodates up to 130 guests for outdoor ceremonies among heritage oaks, seasonal blooms, and natural wildlife. Receptions move to the Red Horse Barn, a 110-year-old structure that seats up to 150 guests and pairs original antique chandeliers and a full barn loft with modern amenities including a built-in bar, cobblestone courtyard, and market lighting indoors and out. Newcastle Gardens provides full-service event coordination, in-house floral design, and catering through an on-site chef. Paved on-site parking accommodates up to 90 vehicles, and the estate includes a bridal suite with three bathrooms and a groom's room for pre-ceremony use.
