Why The White Barn is the Perfect Wedding Venue in North Alabama

0:00

We're 20 minutes from downtown Huntsville on 33 acres backed by a 10 acre lake, and we built The White Barn at Padgett Place for couples who want their wedding to feel like theirs. Jana, our owner, dreamed of creating a venue where you could stop managing logistics and start enjoying your day. If you're looking for a North Alabama wedding venue that gives you flexibility, handles the details, and supports your vision from start to finish, let us show you why couples keep choosing us.

What Makes The White Barn the Perfect Wedding Venue for North Alabama

Couples choose us because we take the stress out of planning. You get spaces that work year round, a team that manages the logistics, and everything you need already onsite. No surprises, no scrambling, just a wedding day that actually feels like yours.

Climate Controlled Spaces That Work Year Round

Our 6,800 square foot barn stays heated and cooled no matter the season, which means you're not limited by Alabama weather. The climate controlled covered patio extends your options, you can host a cocktail hour outdoors with views of the property while keeping everyone comfortable.

If you want an outdoor ceremony, we have a concrete aisleway and your choice of three arbors. If the weather shifts, we have indoor ceremony sites ready. You have 12 hours of access on your wedding day, allowing you to enjoy the day without rushing.

Everything You Need Is Already Here

We include 25 sixty inch round tables and chairs with every booking, and our team builds your custom floorplan and handles the ceremony and reception setup and takedown. Your caterer has access to our fully equipped warming kitchen. Your bartender can use our large bar room with a kegerator, tap, and 500 pound ice machine. Your vendors pull in through a private entrance with dedicated parking.

You also get complimentary access to our decor closet. If you need help styling your tables, installing florals, or designing your ceremony and reception spaces, our team will work with you. 

A Team That Manages the Details So You Don't Have To

One of our employees stays onsite throughout your event, directing guests, helping with flower arrangements, keeping your timeline on track, and handling anything that comes up. You won't be troubleshooting problems on your wedding day.

We also offer event planning and coordination support before your wedding. We'll help you design an event that reflects who you are as a couple and guide you through decisions so planning feels manageable instead of overwhelming.

Spaces That Give You Options

Inside the barn, you'll find an indoor mezzanine for dancing, a built in bar with an outdoor access window, a private bridal suite with its own restroom, and a private groom's room with outdoor leisure space. We have four restrooms, including one designed for families and guests with accessibility needs.

Outside, there's the gazebo by the water, the covered patio, and room across 33 acres for your photographer to work. One of our recent brides, Emily, told us the venue is "absolutely stunning with so many beautiful areas for photos."

Both live music and DJs work well here. Set them up on the mezzanine or the patio, and we'll help you figure out what makes sense for your guest count.

A North Alabama Venue That's Actually Convenient

We're in Laceys Spring, 20 minutes from downtown Huntsville. If you're planning from out of town or bringing in guests from Nashville or Birmingham, the location works. We have a paved parking lot with golf cart concierge service, so your guests aren't walking long distances or worrying about where to park.

We're here to handle the details, support your vision, and make sure you enjoy your wedding day from start to finish.
