The Haven at Cedar Grove

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

In 2016, Cedar Grove’s owners, Kevin and Julie Claus, were sitting on the porch of Stillwater Lodge with some friends, gazing upon their 65-acre property. With 6 cabins and 2 lodges running smoothly, it was time to start planning for their next adventure. They talked about their 3 children growing up on the property, and reminisced on how so many milestones were celebrated. With all their kids growing up, they talked about them finding love and how wonderful it would be to see them married on the property where they shared so many memories. That was the day the dream began! Kevin quickly grabbed a napkin and feverishly started scribbling sketches of a large lodge that could hold all of their friends and family, celebrating the futures of their children. In true Claus fashion, they did not let this vision pass them by, and got to working on the lodge right away.

Awarded Best of Zola
I got married here 9/11/22. The amount of work that this venue puts in from the day you tour the venue to the end of your reception is incredible. This was the first and only venue my husband and I toured and we fell in love immediately. The space is gorgeous, the ambiance is both romantic and friendly, and the courtyard landscaping is a dream. The greenhouse is open and rustic and breathtaking. Evin, our coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the best experience ever. The serving staff, the bartenders, the caterers, and the floral design staff all worked in harmony to create our perfect wedding. Communication through all facets - from billing, to coordinating, to catering - was simple and easy. My husband and I can't stop talking about how beautiful this place is, and the amount of compliments we received during our reception blew me away. It’s a bit on the pricey side - 8,400 for a Sunday (cheapest day), and around 6k for catering, plus staffing costs. We did passed appetizers and plated style, so other options in their packages might be cheaper. But you get what you pay for!!! I do not regret spending a single cent on this venue. They made every penny worth it.
