We are the Boswell family. Wolf Run Acres is concept that came about after hosting our daughters weddings and struggling to find the country setting they wanted. After hosting one on this site under a tent we rented, we decided this is a beautiful setting for a wedding venue. We wanted to give our guests a beautiful dream country wedding, but design it to be more industrial and modern and less rustic than comparable venues. Our hope is to give each couple, a unique, beautiful setting while ensuring they have the wedding of their dreams. We work with each couple from the time we meet them through their day, making sure we meet all their needs and coordinating with their vendors to ensure they have as stress free and enjoyable day as possible.

Wolf Run Acres was an absolute dream for our wedding day. Kim, the owner, was so kind and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication was always prompt and she was incredibly flexible in helping us plan our special day. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with decor that was exactly what we had envisioned. Everything was ready to go when I arrived and the day went off perfectly with Kim's help. All of our guests loved taking photos around the gorgeous property. We couldn't have asked for better value or a more wonderful experience at Wolf Run Acres!

We had our wedding reception at the Oscar Event Center June 7th and it was fabulous! The attention to detail by Josie Fickes, our wedding coordinator, in accomplishing our theme of elegant, rustic Italian and intimate group seating was perfect! I can't say enough about how professional, kind and responsive Josie was in making our vision come true! The menu selection is delicious. It will be hard to decide what you want. Our selections were delicious. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I have to comment on how nice it is to work with a coordinator that knows the vendors in the area to help you achieve your theme and have the best night you can for your guests. Additionally, the servers were excellent and really made our guests feel special. They go out of their way to help and attend to everyone!

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
We love working with couples at Nationwide Hotel for several reasons. First, it is logistically so much easier for couples to have everything taking place in one location. They can stay overnight the night before, get ready there, ceremony, photos, reception, and then afterward all of their guests can stay right there. This means there is no need to coordinate guest transportation, off-site hotels, bridal party transportation for photos, or have an elongated break for photography after the ceremony since it is much faster to do on site. Second, there are plenty of outdoor spaces for couples or bridal party photos if it rains! This is a huge advantage that not all venues have and rain is a real concern for an Ohio wedding. Third, there is a variety of spots on the property for doing group or couples photos. You can have the look of brick, green lawn, the beautiful pergola with all the greenery, the iconic covered walkway, some flowers, a tree-lined area where the leaves change colors SO perfectly in the Fall, and of course the fountain! By the way, the pond is amazing for sunset photos! We have been at Nationwide many times as photographers and always had a great experience. The food was always hot and served on schedule, and their staff is so friendly and genuinely wants to create the best experience for their guests. You cannot go wrong with any of their event spaces!

Kaila and Libby were were excellent in helping me decide how to set up the venue, what the timing should be for each portion of the wedding and making sure that all the little details were attended to. Their response time to my questions over the year (yes, I reserved the venue over a year ahead of time) was within a day; very good! On the day of the wedding, Kaila was with me the whole way, making sure that everything was where it needed to be. She also coordinated well with my florist, caterer and DJ. My friends and family commented on how lovely the ceremony and reception flowed using various sections of the Event Center for various events, i.e. the ceremony on the outside porch, the inside/outside bar area for appetizers/drinks, the remainder of the building for dinner and dancing.
