Woodbridge Event Barn has managed to do the impossible: deliver a rustic and simplistic wedding venue that is never short on luxury. This Bridgeport venue specializes in working with couples to create a day that is as picture-perfect as it is memorable. As a Michigan wedding photographer, I get the chance to go behind the scenes of some of the best wedding venues. Here is what you need to know about hosting a Woodbridge Event Barn wedding!
About The Woodbridge Event Barn Wedding Venue
6910 King Road, Bridgeport, Michigan 48768
Woodbridge Event Barn is a family-owned venue that has spent decades building up Bridgeport. Originally a construction company, they shifted their focus toward events, creating a venue worthy of the finest occasions. When the family saw the barn hit the market, they just knew it was meant to be! They swooped in and purchased the 1946 structure before transforming the land into a space ready to host every part of your wedding day. They continue to honor the building’s history by letting the original architecture shine through every corner. While you are going to get those incredible barn venue vibes, you will also get the royal treatment from an event team who knows how to create the day of your dreams!
Details of the Grounds
At Woodbridge, you will be able to host every part of your wedding right on the grounds. Your morning will start out in the bridal suite where you can get ready alongside your party. This space was designed to tie in the rustic feel while giving you every amenity you could need to complete your look. You can relax on the cozy furniture, do your makeup with the vanity lighting, and use the full-length mirror to sneak a peek at your completed look. There is a full kitchen, and the space is climate-controlled. Meanwhile, the groom will have a man cave where he can unwind with his party. With a pool table, a 75” TV, and a beverage cooler, he’ll have everything he needs ahead of the ceremony.
You will have several options for your wedding ceremony. If you would prefer to host this part of the event outside, you can use the fields surrounding the venue. You will make your way down the barn’s grand staircase as your guests stand and watch. The front of the site has a stone waterfall that will be right behind you. Large wheat fields reach across the landscape while a picturesque red barn peeks in the background. With this spot, you will have a picture-perfect spot to take in the Michigan weather!
If you would prefer something indoors, you can use the barn itself. Words cannot begin to describe just how gorgeous this structure is. The raftered ceilings show off the original beams while light peeks through the weathered wood slates. A large window at the front lets natural light stream through, and the statement chandeliers add to the vibes.
Cocktails And Wedding Receptions At Woodbridge Event Barn
Once it’s time for your cocktail hour, your guests can gather outside around the barn. The patio is fully paved and has been outfitted with furniture so your guests can sit back and relax while you take your photos. They can share drinks beneath the string lighting until it’s time for your reception to begin.
Now, it’s time for the real party to start! The barn has a completely open layout so you can arrange your party however you’d like. Windows throughout will let in natural light until the sun sinks down below the wheat fields. From there, the string lighting and the iron chandeliers will be ready to light the way. The floors have been covered with concrete, offering a smooth surface ready for hours of dancing. While the barn looks beautiful as-is, you can easily incorporate your personal style to transform it into your own. With Woodbridge Event Barn, you can accommodate up to 250 guests.
Photography Opportunities
You are going to fall in love with all of the photo opportunities available across the property. Both the bridal suite and the man cave have been designed to give you photo-worthy backdrops as you celebrate alongside your party.
Once you are fully ready, you can head just outside to take pictures while surrounded by the open fields. This will also be the best spot for your group photos once your ceremony is over.
For your group photos, I would encourage you to spend some time exploring the property. As the sun starts to set during the golden hour, you can get really stunning views of the fields. You can also use the barn itself as a backdrop, taking advantage of the architecture as well as the silos.
