Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Standing Rock Farms, Madison

A wedding at Standing Rock Farms in Madison gives you more than 450 acres of the Grand River Valley to explore. Wooded trails, scenic overlooks, stocked lakes and Mill Creek run through the property, so your photographer and videographer can take you from a field to the woods to the water for wedding photos without leaving the farm.

You choose from three venues, each with its own outdoor ceremony lawn, an indoor option if the weather turns, and getting-ready space. The Flower Farm is the largest, about 12,000 square feet for 300 or more guests. The Barrel Room holds about 150 in a rustic, polished setting. The smallest venue is a hand-built barn, rebuilt beam by beam in a wooded spot, with oversized windows, soaring ceilings and a patio for about 100 guests. Those big windows and old beams make a warm frame for your first dance on video.

With a dozen places to stay on the property, from a lakeside chalet to a lodge, your family and wedding party can spend the whole weekend here, and getting ready on your wedding day is a short walk away. The in-house bar serves all drinks, catering comes from the farm's list of caterers, and music wraps up by 10:30 p.m. Guests park in the lots at each venue, never on the grass.

• Book a tour of all three venues before choosing.
• Plan your wedding ceremony lawn and rain plan with the team, and walk it with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and which trails and lakes you can use for pictures.

A little about Standing Rock Farms

The newest venue, 1837, is named for the year its barn was first built, and its original reclaimed beams were kept when it was put back together. The rest of the farm stretches across woods, fields and lakes in Madison.
