SylvanDale’s first event
SylvanDale’s first event was a fundraiser for a local nonprofit organization and it was a huge success!
Community & Nonprofit Gatherings
We love the fact that we can offer a venue to raise funds for any nonprofit organization, and our guests love the fun and relaxed atmosphere that fosters social interaction. Whether you are looking to have an evening that is casual and fun or refined and elegant, SylvanDale can be tailored for each. SylvanDale also provides a historic venue that is perfect for any community gathering including; community picnics, church gatherings, beer/wine tasting festivals and mountain bike/cycle-cross races. Whatever the event, we have a venue for you.

The barn, milkhouse and courtyard can accommodate up to 200 people. There is additional space if a separate dining tent is desired and there is ample onsite parking in the field. The barn rental includes antique tables and chairs for 100 guests and additional chairs and tables may be rented. The barn and surrounding areas are decorated with antiques and additional decorations may be added.

We have an exclusive list of vendors that may be utilized upon booking for the following services:

We ensure that our vendors are reputable, licensed and insured so that your event goes as planned. The Town of Hayward requires that a picnic license for beer/wine service be acquired at least 45 days prior to the date of any event serving to the public. You can get that by clicking this icon
