An open-air ceremony beneath the canopy, surrounded by 400 acres of Ohio hardwood forest. Simple, natural, and unforgettable.
For couples drawn to the outdoors, our forest ceremony sites offer a natural backdrop that needs no additional decor, just the trees, the light, and each other.
Choose from a few distinct settings across the property, including a stone patio clearing and a wooded aisle leading toward the Grand Barn, each offering a different feel while framed by the same 400 acres of forest.
Forest ceremonies pair naturally with a reception at The Grand Barn, keeping your entire day within a short walk.
An open clearing with a natural stone patio, framed by mature hardwoods.
A tree-lined path for a processional walk unlike any indoor aisle.
Wood benches and chairs for up to 150 guests, included in every package.
A covered space held at no extra cost in case of rain on your date.
Our team helps schedule your ceremony for the best natural light.
On-site support to manage timeline, seating, and vendor logistics.
Weather Guarantee: If rain is forecast for your ceremony time, we move your forest ceremony to a covered backup space on the property at no additional charge, no need to book a separate rain plan.
EXCELLENT Based on 445 reviews Posted on Si Bee09/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my wedding here a few months ago and I couldn't be happier! The venue was gorgeous and fun and the coordinating staff were nothing short of wonderful. They were organized, listened to us, let us pursue all of our wacky ideas, and were always kind. I had a particular difficult time planning this wedding due to health issues and family tragedies. It was a very difficult time for me. And the staff I spoke with were kind, understanding, helpful, and very responsive. I would choose this venue all over again without a second thought.

We stayed in the nest and it was so pretty and cosy. In Nov it was cold but they had 2 heaters in the room and it was perfect ❤️❤️ they provided us a bottle of champagne for our wedding night too which was so sweet.
