Red Barn Studios

Red Barn Studios occupies a 1937 former dairy barn on 25 acres of farmland in Chehalis, Washington, midway between Portland and Seattle. The barn was renovated with care to preserve its original character while adding modern amenities such as a kitchen and restrooms, and it has operated as a wedding and event venue since 2005. In the two decades since, couples from around the world have gathered within its walls to celebrate with friends and family. Owners Laurie and Jason Dix have operated Red Barn Studios for almost 20 years, working with couples from the earliest planning stages through their wedding day. The two-story barn offers 3,000 square feet of space on each floor and accommodates up to 250 guests, with seating for 150 provided as part of the rental. A separate bridal suite gives the bride a private space to prepare, complete with a parlor stove and a landscaped back area used for pre-ceremony portraits, and an outdoor field near a cottonwood tree serves as a ceremony site for couples who prefer to celebrate outdoors. Beyond weddings, the venue also hosts celebrations of life, graduation parties, corporate events, proms, anniversary parties, and bridal and baby showers, drawing on the same barn spaces that have hosted its weddings since 2005.
