Finding the perfect wedding venue often feels like a balancing act between the "middle of nowhere" dream and the "close to everything" reality. If you are looking for a venue that offers a serene, vintage farm experience while staying conveniently close to Piqua, Ohio, Little Mader Farm is your answer.
Located just a short 12-minute drive from downtown Piqua Ohio, our farm serves as the ideal local getaway for couples who want to escape the city’s bustle without making their guests travel for hours.

Why Piqua Couples Love Little Mader Farm
1. Just Minutes Away
While Little Mader Farm feels worlds away with its rolling fields and 1890s bank barn, it is located right on State Route 185 in Covington. This means you are only about 6 miles from Piqua. Whether your guests are coming from the Piqua Country Club area or the historic Fort Piqua Plaza, the commute is simple, straight, and scenic.
2. Convenience for Out-of-Town Guests
One of the biggest hurdles of a rural wedding is finding lodging. Because we are so close to Piqua, your guests have easy access to local accommodations like the Comfort Inn & Suites or the Baymont by Wyndham Piqua. This makes it easy for family and friends to enjoy your celebration and have a comfortable place to stay just minutes down the road.
3. The Charm of the Countryside
Piqua has a rich history, and we love being a part of the local landscape. Our venue offers:
A Vintage Barn:Â Perfect for receptions of up to 200 guests.
Picturesque Backdrops:Â Our working farm provides endless photo opportunities that you just can't find in a traditional banquet hall.
Personalized Service:Â Unlike large corporate venues, our coordinators work directly with you to ensure your vision comes to life.

If you’ve been searching for a "wedding venue near me" or exploring options in Miami County, you know that location is everything. By choosing a venue near Piqua, you can enjoy local favorites for your rehearsal dinner, all while hosting your main event in a quiet, romantic farm setting.
One of the best-kept secrets of our location is our proximity to the Stillwater Prairie Reserve. Just a stone's throw away, this beautiful park offers over 200 acres of pristine trails and river views. It’s the perfect spot for:
