The Venue The venue itself is stunning year round. Words can't do justice to how gorgeous the building and grounds are. We had spent months looking at other venues beforehand, but nothing even came close. The property has a history and story to it as well, which we can definitely appreciate. It feels secluded with trees and foliage surrounding it on all sides and the mansion is unreal. This place is a hidden gem. The Staff Lisa Ferraro is just the best. She is so kind, insightful, proactive, and all-around fantastic at what she does. We'd spent a good amount of time getting to know her on the first day that we toured and everything just clicked. We had great, fun conversations and felt so much more relaxed about our wedding knowing that this was it. She connected us with the best vendors (shout out to Matt the DJ with Seamless Sounds!), went out of her way to accommodate the accessibility needs of our guests, and asked all the right questions to keep our wedding planning on track. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went perfectly and we can't say enough great things about her! The rest of the staff nailed it too-- the setup day-of looked beautiful and teardown went flawlessly.

Buss Farms is the best hidden gem wedding venue near Columbus. My (now) husband and I had searched for quite a few venues and just never got that perfect “feeling” that I wanted about any of them. Every place had some negatives that I couldn’t quite get past. Then, my husband found Buss Farms and we booked a tour. We immediately loved the owners, Matt and Stephanie! They were just the sweetest and made us feel so comfortable and excited about envisioning our wedding there! They just made it so personal for us! The venue itself is stunning! We barely needed any decor because the venue itself is so beautiful! It was perfect size for our wedding and I loved having separate spaces for dinner seating and cocktail hour stuff. The views from where the ceremony is held outside are the most perfect backdrop for any photos! THE PINE TREES though. When Matt and Stephanie were showing us the venue, they showed us the mini pine tree forest and that sealed the deal for me! It is absolutely breathtaking for sunset photos (or any photos really). Matt and Stephanie were the warmest people and so easy to work with. They have great experience and ideas. They make you feel like you’re part of their family. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more!
