The Meadowood is a picturesque rustic wedding and special event venue centrally located on more than 25 acres nestled on the edge of Ohio's Mohican Country. Our centerpiece is the restored 1820s barn with large attached patio. A massive stone fireplace overlooks a beautiful pond. All this peace and tranquility is still conveniently located just 12 minutes from I-71, 20 minutes from Mansfield and a one-hour drive from Cleveland and Columbus. The Meadowood can host your ceremony and reception for up to 200, April through November.

This venue is absolutely beautiful! City Barbeque loves to work at the Meadowood. The ease of unloading, serving, and breaking down is perfect. Everyone at the venue is friendly and accommodating. There is a dedicated area for the buffet that overlooks the breathtaking grounds. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a secluded wedding with a woodland vibe.
