Frequently Asked Questions about a Garver Feed Mill Wedding


What makes Garver Feed Mill a great venue for wedding photos?

Garver Feed Mill is fantastic for photography because it offers incredible variety. You have the grand, industrial atrium with amazing natural light. In addition, there are smaller, moodier spaces like the lounge for intimate portraits. The surrounding grounds and proximity to Olbrich Gardens also provide beautiful outdoor options for a diverse wedding gallery.

How do you handle the lighting in an industrial venue like Garver?

We love the lighting challenges and opportunities in industrial venues. First, we maximize the beautiful natural light from the large windows for a soft, airy feel. For the reception, we use creative off-camera lighting techniques. This allows us to highlight the venue’s textures and create a warm, romantic ambiance without losing the intimate feel of the space.
