Ohio Questions
What Buckeye Couples Ask Us
About 90 minutes northwest via US-23 and US-12. Once you cross into Michigan, the countryside opens up beautifully. Many couples say the drive is when the wedding weekend really begins.
Because this combination doesn't exist in Northwest Ohio: 445 private acres, a white-interior barn, on-site mansion lodging, and a full weekend exclusively yours. The short drive opens up possibilities you won't find closer to home.
Absolutely. We're completely DIY-friendly. Many Toledo-area caterers, photographers, florists, and DJs have worked at our venue. No required vendors, no commissions — bring whoever you trust.
Your wedding party can stay on-site in our mansion (22 guests). Other guests typically book hotels in Coldwater or Hillsdale — both within 20 minutes and with comfortable, affordable options.
They're looking at roughly 2 hours — about the same as Toledo. Many guests from across Northwest Ohio make a weekend of it, enjoying the change of scenery and making your wedding a true destination experience.
Our barn accommodates 330+ guests — perfect for those big Ohio families. For intimate celebrations, the mansion's third-floor ballroom fits up to 80 beautifully. We handle everything from elopements to large weddings.
