Located in Guinda, CA, the Commons Farm Kitchen is a restaurant venue with a country atmosphere, hosting weddings and other special occasions. This family-oriented and farmer-owned establishment serves western barbecue, burgers, and other tempting meals for those seeking authentic country charm. With an emphasis on seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, this restaurant is sure to satisfy your appetite on your big day.
This historic locale was originally founded as Bennett’s Rustic Bar-B-Q back in 1926 and was more recently known as the Guinda Commons. Now titled the Commons Farm Kitchen, this restaurant sources fresh ingredients and produce from their own Casa Rosa Farm and elsewhere in the Capay Valley. This rustic venue offers an inviting patio and backyard for guests to enjoy their farm-to-table eats.
Services available from the Commons Farm Kitchen include hosting wedding ceremonies, elopements, vow renewals, and receptions, as well as providing on-site and off-site catering. Should you and your guests desire Santa Maria-style barbecue, burgers, customized grazing tables, and more, this experienced culinary team will accommodate you. Parties of up to 50 guests can tuck into these meats and sides on-site, with house-made charcuterie, aromatic bread, and locally-produced cheeses. To ensure the comfort and convenience of all guests, this venue features wheelchair accessibility and wireless internet. Their farm-fresh dining is also available for pickup or delivery for events elsewhere. If you just want a venue and already have a caterer, this locale will still host your celebration - though you’d miss out on tempting barbecue! This country retreat offers a memorable backdrop for your special day.

This place is so near and dear to my heart. We discovered this restaurant by accident a few years ago, fell in love, and decided to get married here. Rachel and Anthony bent over b...
ackwards to make sure everything was perfect for our day. Long story short, the morning of our wedding, the whole town had no power, which meant no running water, and they had generators and did everything possible to make sure our wedding went of without a hitch. One of the neighbors across the street came to help and offered to let people park as his place. The power ended up coming back on, but they were READY to fight and give us the best wedding possible. THE FOOD, omg. The food is incredible. Our guests loved it. The property is beautiful and lends itself to so many amazing places for people to spend time and enjoy the celebration. The trees provide nice shade, so it wasn't too hot. They were very flexible about what decorations we could use and let us move some things around. Did I say that the food is AMAZING? I cannot recommend this place enough. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. I will come here until my dying day and the owners will always be so special to us <3 we are so grateful to have had our wedding here and hope you can too!!!
