Slightly off the beaten path, PCF boasts a relaxing atmosphere amidst stunning scenery. With a laidback wine country feel, we’re proud to feel secluded and yet be conveniently located between two small towns. The showstopper of Pebble Creek Farm is our large, gorgeous white barn. You have the ability to decorate as much or as little as you’d like, and the beauty of this grand space will shine through in whichever you choose. Every aspect of the barn awaits your personal touch - it looks lovely in a farmhouse chic style and also in a classic, elegant style.

Pebble Creek Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the communication with the staff was quick, attentive, and friendly. The venue itself was beautiful, elegant, and modern - the perfect backdrop for our special day. Lisa, the coordinator, was there all day and helped make the day run so smoothly. We also loved the cute cabins on the property that our guests could rent, making the whole experience feel like a weekend getaway. It was picture perfect and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage.
