Host Your Wedding or Gathering at Four Winds Farm
Celebrate in Style
Wisconsin’s Premier Barn Venue
Four Winds Farm is the premier barn venue in the Madison area. We embrace the principles of sustainability and hospitality in every aspect of our operations and are dedicated to creating meaningful experiences for our guests. Our agricultural setting allows us to offer not only a stunning venue but also a unique farm where guests can celebrate, learn, and connect with nature.
On the surrounding 86-acre property you will discover multiple outdoor ceremony spaces, including one that is seasonally set against 20 foot tall hop vines. The surrounding farmland is managed with the principles of sustainable, regenerative agriculture. You will find hops, perennial grain, chicken, sheep, an apiary, and more as you explore the property.
We invite you and your guests to share in the joys of this unique farm, located just minutes from Madison.
Plus...
Your purchase or venue rental at Four Winds Farm directly supports regenerative agriculture, arts and culture programming, and the restoration of native Wisconsin ecosystems.
Ceremony Options
The Hopyard
Adjacent to the barn, this is an ideal setting for an enchanting outdoor ceremony. The hops begin vining in May, creating a lush green backdrop that reaches the top of the poles by July. This vibrant growth sets the perfect stage for your vows, connecting you and your guests in the beauty of nature. As the hops are harvested annually in early August, couples who wish to feature this stunning backdrop in their wedding should plan for a summer ceremony.
The Loft
The original hayloft has been transformed into a grand indoor space, perfect for a memorable, romantic ceremony. With its beautiful, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and oak hardwood floors, The Loft provides a warm and inviting atmosphere. This space can accommodate up to 200 guests, making it ideal for large gatherings. The open floor plan allows for convenient customization, so you can easily bring your wedding dreams to life in this space.

Enhancements
Please inquire with Four Winds Farm staff about creating customized experiences for your wedding. A few examples include:
Whiskey & S'mores by the Fire
Enjoy a round of Scotch whisky, bourbon, or your favorite spirit around the fire pit during your warm-season wedding. Serve the spirit of your choosing alongside a tray of ingredients to make your own s’mores to create a memorable late-evening break from the dance floor.
Tasting Experiences
Four Winds Farm can arrange tastings and classes with our in-house, Michelin-starred sommelier for parties of up to 30 people. This is a great way to entertain visiting guests, bridal parties, or groomsmen in the days leading up to your wedding. Explore the beverage of your choice – local beer, French rosé, Scotch whisky, Italian red wines, or many others – in a fun, interactive setting.
Wood-Fired Pizza
We offer the option to rent our pizza oven at Four Winds Farm. Whether you’re planning it as a late-night snack or the main course, it’s a fun and tasty addition to your event. Inquire about booking your rehearsal dinner pizza party.
