Located a short 15-minute drive south of downtown Sacramento, The Barn at Second Wind is the perfect venue for your romantic, chic, elegant or rustic-inspired wedding celebration. As soon as your guests walk up from the parking area they will be greeted by views of a large 80 year old Heritage Valley Oak that shades the front of the gorgeous, 1940’s galvanized metal barn. Your romantic outdoor ceremony can take place right there under the shade of the tree, in front of the barn doors. Or opt to pledge your love under the beautiful wrought iron arch, opposite the barn.

Photo opportunities are everywhere. In springtime, frolic in the field of blooming mustard. In the summer, walk along the river on the old railroad tracks. While you pose for formal portraits, guests can move to the back side of the barn, sit on bales of hay, and mingle over beverages. Reunite with your guests inside the barn for a delicious meal. The barn boasts polished cement floors, exposed wooden beams, and a gorgeous 1940s chandelier. End the evening with dancing beneath the stars.
