Wedding Ceremony Locations at Barnwood Events

Barnwood Events sits on eight acres of woodland beauty, just minutes from downtown Madison, WI. While the property is yours to make your own on your wedding day, there are a few spots that just scream “wedding” and are the most popular for a ceremony. 

The Willow Tree

The willow tree is our most popular wedding ceremony location, with hundreds of weddings taking place under its branches. It’s a stunning location on the front lawn that can seat up to 300 guests.

The Grand Oak Tree

The oak tree is over 200 years old, and makes a beautiful, grand backdrop for your vows. The longer walk from the barn to the arbor creates a remarkable entrance.

The Back Lawn

This is an intimate location, seating 100 or fewer people, right next to the windows on the porch. This makes the transition from wedding to cocktail hour quick and simple.

The Porch

Our porch can seat 220 for a wedding ceremony, with five chairs on each side of the aisle. After it concludes, as your guests go to the main hall for cocktails and snacks, our staff transforms the ceremony space to the typical lounge space for guests to enjoy for the rest of the evening.

The Main Hall

For indoor ceremonies with more than 220 guests, we customize your table layout to include an aisle and all chairs facing toward our big barn doors – the backdrop for your wedding. With this set up, decorating is done before the ceremony and doesn’t cause commotion during your cocktail hour.

If you plan for an outdoor ceremony and the weather is questionable, the Barnwood team works with you to make a decision on location three hours prior. Have questions or want to see our ceremony locations in-person? Schedule a tour – we’d love to show you around!
