Our planner, Taylor, and the owners, Julie and Dave, were so helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the day of!

We had our wedding at Barnwood and it was an absolutely perfect day! 

The Barnwood staff were so organized and took such good care of us, especially Julie (owner) and Kayla (day of coordinator). We loved the venue space, outdoor areas, and all of the decor that’s available for use free of charge! I would 100% recommend getting married or having your event here.”

We loved our experience at Barnwood for our September 2024 wedding.

Taylor was a great wedding coordinator and we also loved having the farmhouse for Friday and Saturday night to spend more time with our wedding party! Plus, we could bring our dog for photos we will cherish forever!”

Barnwood Events is an incredible place to host your wedding- we're very satisfied with choosing it. 

If you want to get married somewhere with beautiful natural features like wildflowers, mature trees, and wood architecture, but also provide modern amenities to your guests like AC, even and safe flooring, EV chargers, and convenient getting ready spaces, this is your perfect venue. It was great to have a venue that feels very private and serene, but is only a 10 minute drive to downtown Madison and can be serviced by Uber and local shuttles. The space was perfect for our 160 guests and we've only received positive feedback about the drinks, the barn itself, and the layout from guests!"

I am a wedding photographer and photographed a wedding at Barnwood Events in November 2023 and it was a lovely venue to work at! 

The grounds were beautiful in the fall, the outdoor ceremony space under the willow tree was so picturesque, the reception space is lovely, and the getting ready space was perfect for the wedding party. The venue staff were super helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend booking your wedding here!”
