“Willow Haven Event Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Erica's communication was quick and resourceful, she was attentive and cooperative throughout the entire planning process. The quality of the wedding barn was truly romantic, captivating, and gorgeous - Duane and Kitty have transformed the venue into a space that felt straight out of a fairytale. Noah made sure all the events of the day flowed seamlessly, the staff were incredibly accommodating of our needs, and ensured the entire experience was pleasant for us and our guests.

“If you are looking for a wedding venue that feels like pure magic from start to finish, Basil Place is it! We got married here in April 2026, and I truly don’t have enough words to capture how special this place—and the people behind it—are. Michelle, the owner, is quite simply an angel of a human. From day one, she was by our side through every step of the process. She doesn’t just care about your wedding day—she cares about you as a person and wants you to genuinely soak in and enjoy every single moment. Her presence is calming, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful, and it made all the difference. She was so flexible and available whenever needed. She knows what she is doing and this is truly a passion and something her entire family seems to put their heart and soul into. One thing that really stood out is that Michelle only works with vendors who share her same vision and level of care. Every recommendation she provided—from catering to bartending—was absolutely top notch. It removed so much stress knowing we were in the best hands with people that knew the venue well and didn't rely on us for information. We booked the full weekend package, and I cannot recommend it enough (sure the price might shock you a bit at first, but it ultimately ended up saving us money and alot of stress due to lodging of family, ourselves and rehearsal dinner space all being in one place). Being able to host our rehearsal dinner on-site Friday night while already soaking in the beautiful grounds set the tone for the entire weekend. Even more special, our parents and siblings stayed in the house with us, which made everything feel intimate, easy, and so meaningful. The morning of the wedding was something I’ll never forget—while the girls were up early getting ready in the bridal suite, we kept looking outside at everyone else relaxing by the lake with coffee, thinking “must be nice :)” It truly felt like a retreat with the people we love most and I didn't think I would be able to get something like this in Ohio... but then Michelle came along and proved me wrong :) Basil Place gave us not just a wedding day, but an entire experience we’ll cherish forever. If you want a venue where you feel supported, cared for, and completely present for your wedding, this is the place. We are endlessly grateful to the entire staff for helping us start our lives in such a special way!”

“If you’re looking for a wedding venue that truly partners with you to create something that feels like you, Sugar Lake Lodge is it. From the very beginning, Nadine and her team took the time to understand the vision we had for our wedding. We didn’t want a traditional wedding—we wanted an unforgettable, love-filled party that reflected who we are. They embraced that idea wholeheartedly and brought so many creative thoughts and themes that elevated our vision beyond anything we could have imagined. Every detail felt intentional. From incredible food and drinks, to a late-night food truck, caricature artist, cigar roller, and even surprise karaoke, they helped us weave together experiences that kept our guests smiling all night long. They never tried to fit us into a “wedding template.” Instead, they helped us create something that was uniquely ours. What impressed us most was how calm, organized, and genuinely invested the entire team was throughout the process. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Nadine and her team made it fun. They anticipated needs before we even knew we had them and made us feel completely supported every step of the way. The biggest compliment we kept hearing from our friends and family was that this was one of the most thoughtful, joy-filled, and love-filled weddings they had ever attended. That’s exactly what we hoped to create, and we couldn’t have done it without Sugar Lake Lodge. Thank you, Nadine and the entire team, for helping us create one of the greatest days of our lives. We’ll be talking about it for years to come, and we’re forever grateful.”
