Nestled in Madison, Wisconsin, Barnwood Events is a wedding and event venue that combines rustic elegance with contemporary comforts. Open from the end of 2020 onward, the barn sits on eight acres of secluded woodland. Oaks, maple trees, cottonwood, and willows dot the landscape, creating a mosaic of foliage to serve as the backdrop for your special day. With walking trails and the beauty of nature at your fingertips, you and your sweetheart can craft an event that is also a memorable retreat.

Facilities and Capacity

Barnwood Events has been carefully designed to ensure that you and your loved ones have access to numerous amenities. Heating and air conditioning are among these conveniences, as are restrooms. When you walk into the barn you are greeted by lofty ceilings that have timber beams complemented by wagon-wheel chandeliers. This spacious area is able to accommodate up to 300 guests. Glass doors allow you and your nearest and dearest to move out onto the adjacent porch, which can be used year-round. This entryway also allows individuals to take in the natural sights surrounding the building. For you and your other half, along with your wedding entourage, there are dressing rooms available. These include TVs to help you unwind. Up to 14 people can also spend the night at the location in the farmhouse. This historic home from the 19th century is intended to provide a cozy refuge for you and your loved ones. Additional space is available outside for RVs if you require more room for guests that are spending the night.

A Perfect Wedding Venue – Beyond Our Expectations!

We are beyond thrilled with our choice of venue for our wedding day! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, situated in a breathtaking location that is ideal, especially for spring and fall weddings. The natural beauty around us provided the perfect backdrop for pictures, with vibrant colors that made our photos absolutely magical.
One of the best features was the option to rent the farmhouse for the weekend. It made the entire experience so much more convenient and comfortable for us and our wedding party. We were able to relax, mingle, and enjoy each other’s company before and after the big day, which made the entire weekend feel like an unforgettable celebration.
The owners and staff truly put their hearts and souls into making sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, and in some ways, even better than we imagined. They are incredibly knowledgeable and thought of every detail, even the things we hadn’t considered. We could tell that they genuinely care about making each event special and unique.
Our day-of coordinator was an absolute godsend! She made sure everything ran smoothly, so we were able to focus on enjoying our special day without worrying about the details or managing vendors. Her professionalism and calm demeanor were exactly what we needed to stay relaxed and have fun throughout the entire event.
We cannot recommend this venue enough. If you’re looking for a beautiful setting, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares about your special day, this is the place to be!

Fancy barn experience

We had the absolute best experience at this venue for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was flawless. The space itself is beautiful, but what truly made it unforgettable was the incredible team — especially Taylor and Julie. They are nothing short of amazing! Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On the big day, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team or location for such an important day in our lives. Highly recommend to any couple looking for the perfect venue and an exceptional experience!

Exceeded all expectations!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place! Julie, the owner, was helpful throughout the entire process! I knew from the second I drove on to the property that I was going to want to lock this place in. We still looked at 5+ other venues after this and none of them came even close! The price was very fair for how great it was! There are many decorations included that you can use on the day of, which saved us so much money! We honestly didn't buy any decor other than a couple picture frames and flowers. There are numerous different areas for the ceremony to take place and so much property for taking pictures. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough, and would choose it over and over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
