When you picture a rustic wedding, you may imagine wood beams, warm lighting, and a setting that feels rooted in history. That’s exactly what Copper Gables Barn in Roy, Washington offers. Our barn, built in 1915 and listed on the Washington Historic Register, has stood for more than a century and today serves as a welcoming space for couples who want the character of a historic structure with the comfort of modern amenities.

A Historic Barn Designed for Weddings

Rustic weddings shine in spaces that already have natural charm. Our two story, 10,000 square foot barn provides that backdrop. The original architecture, paired with details like a grand stone fireplace and crystal chandeliers, gives you a balance of rustic and elegant. Whether your vision leans toward farmhouse style or a refined rustic reception, the barn adapts to your design.

The Spaces and How Guests Move

A rustic wedding feels best when guests can relax and flow easily through the day. Copper Gables Barn makes that possible. Inside, we can seat up to 200 guests year round, and the design naturally transitions from ceremony to reception. The 800 square foot covered deck and landscaped courtyard, complete with an antique French fountain and climbing roses, extend the celebration outdoors without leaving the property. The vintage style bar and large wooden dance floor bring everyone together as the night moves into music and dancing.

Comforts for Couples and Guests

Rustic doesn’t have to mean rough around the edges. Our venue was restored with comfort in mind. The bridal and groom’s suites each include a vanity and private en suite restroom, so you can prepare in privacy. Guests appreciate the convenience of indoor restrooms, full heating and cooling, and WiFi, while ample free parking makes arrival simple. These touches allow the rustic beauty of the barn to shine without sacrificing convenience.

Food and Beverage Approach

For many couples, the reception meal is where rustic style comes to life, with farm table dining or family style service. Our catering kitchen supports your chosen caterer with refrigerators, freezer space, double ovens, and sinks. With an open vendor policy, you’re free to select the team that fits your style.

The built in bar area fits smoothly into a rustic wedding setting, and our licensed bartender requirement keeps service professional. For music, you have choices. A stage with lighting works for live bands, or you can keep it simple with our Bluetooth enabled jukebox and portable speaker with a microphone. Each option fits easily into a rustic celebration, whether you want a lively barn dance or a cozy evening of toasts and laughter.

What’s Included with Your Booking

Rustic weddings often look effortless, but behind the scenes, there are a lot of moving parts. We simplify that by including essentials with your booking. You’ll have 200 wooden cross back chairs, round tables with linens, farmhouse tables, painted buffets, decorative wine barrels, and outdoor barrel tables with chairs.

We also provide set up and tear down service, venue clean up, and waste service. A custom entry sign with your names and wedding date, along with a one hour rehearsal, helps personalize the day and gives you peace of mind. All of these pieces come together so you can focus on bringing your rustic vision to life.

Photo Opportunities

Rustic weddings often draw inspiration from nature and history. At Copper Gables Barn, you have both. Our landscaped courtyard with its antique French fountain, roses, and wisteria creates natural photo opportunities. Indoors, the chandeliers and stone fireplace frame moments with warmth.

Being located in downtown Roy connects your wedding to the barn’s long story. Once a general store and later a dance hall for the Roy Rodeo, it’s now a place where couples create their own history. That sense of continuity makes your rustic wedding feel part of something larger.

Conclusion

If you’re planning a rustic wedding, Copper Gables Barn offers the setting, comfort, and character to make it real. From wood tables and barrel accents to the glow of chandeliers over a stone fireplace, every detail supports your vision. Our landscaped courtyard with its antique French fountain and roses adds a natural touch that feels timeless.
