meet the team behind Barnwood Events
Rooted in history. Designed for love stories meant to last.
Barnwood Events was founded in 2020, but its story began long before the walls went up. In 1995, owners Julie and Dave Wood purchased the property and began shaping it into the lush woodland haven it is today — planting thousands of trees, tending flower gardens, and dreaming of the celebrations it would one day host.
When it came time to design the venue, they asked one simple question: If we were hosting an event, what would we want and need? The answer shaped every detail — from a grand hall with 30-foot timber-framed ceilings to a bright four-season porch, spacious dressing suites, and an easy, one-level layout so every guest feels welcome.
Today, Barnwood Events is brought to life by a team who treats each celebration as if it were their own.
Inclusive touches that feel like upgrades
At Barnwood Events, the little things aren’t extra. From complimentary parking and hotel shuttle partnerships to our curated décor collection, built-in AV, and full-service bar, we’ve woven comfort and beauty into every part of your day.
Service that feels like family
Our coordinators, planners, and event staff don’t just manage logistics; they anticipate needs, calm nerves, and handle every detail with care. It’s why couples describe their wedding here as effortless, joyful, and beyond expectations.
Spaces that change with the seasons
Whether you dream of an outdoor wedding surrounded by gardens and woodlands or a cozy indoor celebration beneath timber-framed ceilings, our flexible spaces - including the four-season porch - let you celebrate in a way that feels true to you, no matter the weather.

What couples have to say
Julie and Dave made our experience a breeze and extremely enjoyable!
They were great communicators and were always available for any questions we had. They provided everything we needed and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience! The venue is stunning, staff is great and service provided is professional. I would highly suggest this venue and staff to everyone! We had an incredible day and we owe a lot to the venue and staff who helped make it happen.”
- Jake, Groom
They did everything for us and hiring their day of coordinator was the best money we spent.
Ellie handed it all and we had no stress leading up to the big day. Our family and friends were so impressed with the venue and the owners, Julie and Dave. They went out of their way to make our day special. They also let us stay past midnight to ring in the New Year! If you have an event or wedding coming up, check out barnwood. It is the best venue in Madison.”

Barnwood exceeded all of my 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.”
