About
Our Barn is like a big surprise! The downstairs is a regular old-fashioned barn with the normal barn tools and garage items hanging around, you could not imagine a wedding being held in it. But when you walk upstairs to the hayloft, you will be blown away by the sheer size of the barn. With Christmas lights, chandeliers, and huge wooden beams, it is both elegant and rustic at the same time.
We rent out our huge barn that fits 300 people without seating anyone on the dance floor. That means no one has to move their table before dancing begins. Included is a ceremony either in the yard or barn, rehearsal at a normal time, tables and chairs for the reception, a s'mores bar with free s'mores, cupcake holders, tiered cake stands, a horse buggy for pictures, cocktail tables, and many decorations such as table numbers, wood slices, wine bottles, mason jars, radio flyer wagons and yard games galore. We also rent vintage china to serve your dinner guests.
At Bennett Barn, you get to custom tailor your wedding to your own specific desires! And we will help you do it! You may bring your choice of vendors, we do not require you to use particular caterers, DJ's, or any other service. The most popular caterer in the area only charges $15 per plate and their food is amazing! You are also able to save money by bringing in your own alcohol and hiring us to serve it instead of hiring an expensive service (which you may also do.)
We are different from most barns as we only do one wedding per weekend. We prefer to have one amazing wedding than three ok weddings per weekend. This gives you extra time to set up on Friday, have your rehearsal on Friday night, and pick up your decorations (if you bring any) on Sunday morning. All of these services allow you to make your wedding what you want it to be without a lot of rules.
Our turn of the last century Victorian farmhouse may also be rented if you would like to have your hair and makeup done and dress onsite, take pictures inside, and hang out with your bridal party beforehand in old-time elegance. We recommend taking pictures in the house of your crew getting ready. Morning foods and lunch for your house party are included with the house rental.
We are located next to a beautiful country church that you could get married in. Mamre Moravian Church has beautiful stained glass windows, an authentic bell in a bell tower, great acoustics, and a grand pump organ. It can seat 150 guests. You may bring in your own officiant.
Bennett Barn is located about 10 miles west of Watertown, 10 miles north of Lake Mills, and 10 miles east of Waterloo! We are also conveniently located between Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Rockford, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. Because we can provide what you need for the entire day: church, ceremony, and reception, your wedding guests only need to drive to one location.
