The HideOut

(51 reviews)

We had our wedding 2 weeks ago at The HideOut. Best decision ever!!!!…read more 1. If you want to create an EXPERIENCE for your guests, choose the HideOut 2. No noise curfew means it's the one place you can truly have a late-night party 3. They have awesome people with very few rules (no fires, respect max # campers allowed) - other than that, they let you manifest your dream! 4. Massive granite hottub and swimming lake are amazing 5. You can have people camp or glamp on site (we hired their tents and supplemented with Anywhere Outpost - wonderful!) 6. They have some infrastructure but you can bring in your own booze, rentals, catering, etc. - so you can curate your dream wedding (for food hire Blend or Camber Events! for drinks hire Pizen! for wedding planner hire Jenn Robirds Events!) 7. It's absolutely stunning. The natural granite, pines, and beautiful flowers everywhere. It's amazing!! You can have any kind of wedding here - a DIY small wedding, big elevated elegant wedding (like we did), something simple, something over-the-top. It's all possible!

June 27, 2023: Tuesday, I attended a wedding here; it's FIFTEEN-MILES inside rough, rugged, BLM…read moreLAND terrain! It took almost ONE HOUR from leaving Highway 88 in order, arriving at The Hideout Annex where I attended the wedding venue! Will you please carefully study my photos and will you please notice the GARMIN GPS time stamp for the photos, too? This is no exaggeration . . . Seriously--The Hideout is in the middle of CA BLM TERRITORY, i.e., WILDERNESS REGION! My photos will make you pause in utter silence due to the fact the entire area is just so utterly remote. More importantly, make sure you do NOT drive a vehicle with a low, wheel base clearance such as a sports car or a sedan; for your safety, drive an all-wheel drive SUV, dually truck, i.e. any 4-Wheel Drive vehicle is best. In addition, this entire region's location is extreme wilderness equating, survival terrain. Never come here ill-prepared despite, weddings venues are conducted here, i.e., cold temperatures shifts drop erratically here--hot around 75° F during the day, temperatures drop to 49°F around 6:30 PM--please bring a down jacket, warm pants, socks, boots, hat, gloves, down sleeping bag/blankets, pillow, medicines, a change of clothes, toiletries, fire starters, wood, food, H2O: Everything you'd think bringing on a wilderness camping trip-PACK INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE especially, if you get too inebriated to drive, you might as well sleep off your alcohol party binge without freezing, eh? Plus, whatever supplies you bring in, you must consciously pack out - - - being mindful "wild things" live everywhere around The Hideout . . . So NEVER keep food or toiletries inside your vehicle--because you're just asking for a "wild thing" to cause dangerous drama in your life when you're WAAAAY too inebriated dealing with the dangerous toothy thang, i.e., you just won't survive THAT attack! A lot of parents I noticed were irresponsibly allowing their children running loose, frolicking through the fields/meadows unattended, and unsupervised while attending the wedding at The Hideout: It's most important not allowing children running freely, parents must maintain possessing absolutely heightened, cognitive awareness of sights and sounds 24/7, follow rules such as putting food in bear containers, keeping bear spray in possession 24/7, making sure children don't drop food anywhere, keeping children sticking by their sides without fail, and never allow children run freely through the meadows where rattlesnakes and large animals are simply camouflaged, unnoticeable, and undetected. Sadly, the four restrooms are too far away from The Hideout Annex which is across a huge field causing the children striking out on their own accord--independently scurrying reaching the restrooms in time without having "an accident" where unfortunately, their parents lose their watchful eyes on their children! Therefore, I don't recommend children under ten-years old should attend wedding venues at The Hideout because The Hideout's wedding location is just too remote . . . The Hideout is a gorgeous, wedding venue; however, I just wouldn't recommend young children accompany their parents here. There are too many possibilities for young children being injured or wind up missing due to the area being too vast and too remote; I personally just want immediately removing the odd equation and eliminating the happenstance beforehand-period. I would only consider The Hideout as an adult wedding venue worth attending; however, I definitely would refrain having the children in tow, i.e., hire an overnight babysitter/Nanny for attending a wedding at The Hideout.

Gladding Farms - The front of the barn

Gladding Farms

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gladding Farms! From the very beginning, Sydney has been…read morean absolute joy to work with! She is fun, kind, honest, and incredibly accommodating. She goes above and beyond, always adding thoughtful extras and making sure every special request is met with a smile. The barn and grounds are absolutely stunning, and I already know our wedding day is going to be unforgettable because of her. I feel so thankful to have found both this venue and Sydney, and I would recommend Gladding Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful place with an amazing owner to match!

I rarely do reviews but I felt I wanted to share the pros and cons of this venue and my experience…read morethere with others who may be looking for a wedding venue. First the pros. - [ ] This venue is absolutely beautiful. The property and the barn with its chandlers, white draping intertwined with fairy lights are absolutely stunning. The venue at sunset is astonishing and creates a colorful backdrop for your special day. - [ ] The back patio and lawn areas are spacious and can comfortably accommodate 100 people. - [ ] They offer a small mobile bar and you choose 3 signature cocktails. They provide the mixers, water, ice, cups and straws. We provided the alcohol, beer and wine. - [ ] The Bridal suite was tastefully decorated and is an ample size for a small bridal party. - [ ] There is plenty of parking. The cons - [ ] The owner is extremely difficult and very unpleasant to work with. Not much is in writing and she changes her mind and the rules as she goes. She consistently made comments about us loosing our deposit if we did this or didn't do that. This was both prior to the wedding and during the wedding reception. I don't believe it was only us. When we came on Monday for the table delivery, she was complaining about the bride and the brides family from the weekend. - [ ] During our interview she told us that we could have access the week prior beginning on Monday. She said she was very flexible and just let her know when we wanted to come, she would work with us. Once the contact was signed we were told we could only have 3 hours prior to the wedding. She stated that she had been taken advantage of and had to tighten the access down to 3 hours. We had already made arrangements with her to have 10 barn tables dropped off on Monday and she told us that would count as 1 of our 3 hours. - [ ] During our 2 hours we had to set up the venue she was constantly with us offering her opinion. The bride had spent a lot of time deciding on how she wanted the tables and things set up. The owner was overbearing and constantly offering her opinion. It became very uncomfortable especially since we only had 2 hours to prepare. She told us that the tables needed color and looked bland. They were what the bride wanted. It was a hard and uncomfortable situation. - [ ] The bar ran out of ice and bottles waters early in the evening. Luckily it was not a hot day, the day's high was only 84 degrees. They did not refill the soda and water barrel. I had to ask twice but was told there was no ice or water. The majority of the time there was no ice and no bottled water. I had brought 2 large, very nice metal and copper drink tubs and were told no we couldn't use them, that hers would look better. - [ ] Parking is a long walk on uneven grass and in the dark. She has guests park on the opposite far edge of her property. She could easily have them park closer. I'm not sure why she does that? - [ ] No bathrooms, just two port a potty's for 100 guests. - [ ] At one point during the reception my daughter's grandmother went into the bridal suite to get something for my daughter and the owner hurried up to me and she told me that she had remotely locked the suite. That someone was in there that wasn't allowed. She said she locked it and we could find her if we needed to go inside and she would remotely unlock the door. She again threatened that she would have to keep our deposit if anyone went inside that wasn't allowed. Who wasn't allowed?? First I had heard of that?? - [ ] We followed the rules. Music stopped at 10:00. We had hired a helper and with the help of several family members we had everything cleared out, chairs stacked, tables wiped down and all garbage in bags put where we were instructed. We packed our cars and were out at 10:58 since everyone had to be out by 11:00. It was a challenge, but we did it. We started clearing off the runners, garlands and table signs while the dancing was still going on. We were confident that we would receive our full $1000 deposit back. - [ ] We received only $180 of our $1000 deposit back. Her reasons were ridiculous, unreasonable and unfair. We felt she planned to keep our deposit from the very beginning. The wedding was beautiful and the guests all enjoyed it. If I had to do it over I would not rent this beautiful venue. The owner was unpleasant, unfair and incredibly difficult to work with. She added so much unnecessary stress to the process.
