Little Creek Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was incredibly personable, great communicators, and made the entire planning process easy. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a rustic yet elegant charm that required minimal additional decorations. The "something borrowed" room was a lifesaver, allowing us to seamlessly set up and prepare for the big day. The staff was also incredibly attentive and helpful during our rehearsal and on the wedding day itself. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special celebration - Little Creek Barn truly had everything we needed and more to make our day absolutely perfect. Seriously - any photograph taken from the outside, to the getting ready suites, ceremony and reception area - will turn out absolutely beautiful due to the venues appearance!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a venue that is not only beautiful, but will make all of your dreams come true, look no further. I would give Bloom and Bower a 10 out of 5 if I could. The value of the venue is extraordinary. It was so wonderful getting to sleep on site at the venue since it is a bed and breakfast, we even had our whole bridal party stay on site and had our rehearsal dinner there. It was so great to not have to leave the property all weekend and not worry about forgetting anything because it was all right there. The greatest part of this venue is the owners themselves. Margaret basically acts as a day-of coordinator and goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is exactly how you envisioned. She fixes any problems that arise and if I had a crazy idea her response was always, "let's make it happen." Margaret worked wonderfully with all of our other vendors as well. She called each vendor the week before the wedding to make sure everything was ready to go. She also had so much good advice for life and marriage. The venue also had staff that set everything up and tore everything down, which means our bridal party and family got to enjoy themselves. The staff was so kind and helpful and made everything look exactly like my vision. I didn't even have to hire a florist because Margaret and her staff built all of our centerpieces and ceremony florals from their stock of florals. When you book with Bloom and Bower you also have access to a HUGE (and I mean huge) number of decorations that Margaret has curated, meaning you can spend your money on other aspects of the big day. The communication with the venue was excellent. They always got back to me in a super timely fashion and answered all of my questions (there were a lot of them). The professionalism of Margaret, Thomas and their staff really showed. And all of this didn't break our bank. The gardens are also absolutely gorgeous, as well as the gazebo and inside of the reception barn. I highly, highly recommend getting married here.

Pin High Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding.

The indoor/outdoor option was ideal, as we were able to get married surrounded by the beautiful fall foliage on their grounds, and then move the celebration indoors to their cozy, rustic barn venue. Sandy and her team were extremely organized and made sure everything ran smoothly, both the day before and the day of the wedding. We even had the opportunity to do a taste tasting prior to the big day, which gave us confidence that the food and service would be top-notch. Overall, Pin High Farm exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day truly special.

We truly cannot thank you and all of the staff at Scioto Reserve enough! You have been amazing throughout the entire process, and made the planning process so smooth. We couldn’t have done it without all of your advice and guidance. There really isn’t one thing that went wrong on wedding day, or if there was, everyone was so on top of things that it never even made it back to me. THANK YOU to everyone for being so kind and accommodating on Saturday! There wasn’t once thing I asked for that wasn’t handled immediately and with positivity. The room flip process was so impressive and efficient! We truly could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding, and we wish we could relive the day!
