Our family enjoyed one of the best events of our lives at the Barn of Hidden Valley as we gathered for a family reunion. Next up - We are not newlyweds but planning to celebrate 50 years of marriage with family and friends by renewing vows at the Barn of Hidden Valley. It will be the greatest event next to the first time we said "I Do". The setting is everything you could hope for. Picturesque, quiet, serene. So much room both inside and outdoors to celebrate any function you could imagine. It was obvious on our first visit that the hosts at the Barn have thought of everything to make your event unforgettable. From the interior decor to the outdoors landscape and natural setting, it is perfect, especially for weddings. There are so many areas to take photos that are a photographer's dream. The Barn can be decorated to suit your taste, or, it is beautiful on its own with a warm, inviting environment. The amenities are accommodating, a wonderful kitchen, bride and groom dressing rooms, comfortable seating areas, outdoor areas are nature's best. Can you picture a stream meandering nearby with a bridge that is perfect for photo snaps. Our family highly recommends the Barn at Hidden Valley for weddings, family reunions, corporate events. Anything you can imagine for groups to gather and enjoy.

I got married at the Kingsville Lodge on March 8th of this year, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The lodge itself is stunning and immaculate, with everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips. Sharyn, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is nothing short of amazing. She even handled my photography! The landscaping is meticulously maintained, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the upkeep of the property. We chose a wedding package that was perfect for my husband and me, which included photography, planning, decorations, setup, breakdown, and cleaning. Sharyn and Beth were incredible, going the extra mile to make sure my day was magical. I felt like a fairytale bride and didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the perfect venue for our wedding, with 40 guests who all found it equally beautiful. The lodge offers multiple rooms that can accommodate up to 15 people overnight. The beds are incredibly comfortable, providing one of the best nights of sleep I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need. Our ceremony took place in front of the fireplace, which was breathtakingly beautiful in its simplicity. I highly recommend the Kingsville Lodge for weddings or any event. The property and house are well cared for, and Sharyn and her team are wonderful people. We also had our engagement photos taken there, and they turned out amazing. Inside, the lodge features beautiful wood trim throughout. The bathrooms are accommodating, with jacuzzi tubs in some rooms and multiple other bathrooms available. My 82-year-old mother loved it and found it easy to navigate. My husband and I stayed in the suite, watching the snowfall outside the windows, which was incredibly beautiful. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this place for so many reasons.

Jamey and his family were AMAZING to work with! They truly went above and beyond! From the first meeting I knew our wedding would be just as I had hoped. Jamey communicated very well, always stayed in touch, never seemed bothered by my million questions, redid the ground where our tent was going to be and showed us progress pictures. Jamey and his family are very detailed oriented and thought of things I didn’t such as walkway lights and smoke area if one was needed. Jamey was at our tent site on the property day of our wedding making sure we were okay, seeing if we needed anything, told us he felt we would need more heaters and got them in. His wife even helped my photographer to get the best pictures! We rented both cabins on the property for our wedding weekend and I highly recommend doing so! One we used for the guys to get ready and it worked out perfect! Both cabins are very beautiful and we stayed in both haha :) The property itself is GORGEOUS! We had the perfect background for a fall wedding and it truly was amazing! I can’t say enough how much we appreciate Jamey and his lovely family for making our wedding a dream come true. They really are the best. The property and cabins are just so beautiful and we can’t wait to stay there again!

The Haven at Cedar Grove

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests

  • 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.

The Haven was exactly what I was looking for in a venue! We decided to use The Haven because they had so many options for our ceremony location. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but Ohio weather is unpredictable, so we wanted some backup options too. The outdoor spaces are beautiful. We originally planned for the alcove with the paved path (which was great because it was accessible), but rain moved us to the covered patio which was still beautiful! We used the building to get ready in the bridal suite, and for dinner and dancing. The paved, lighted patio was perfect for our faux exit (we had planned to use it for cornhole but rain/snow had other plans). We used many items from The Haven's borrowed decor collection, which saved us time and money. The decorations were beautiful, and with some minor touches (we added white pumpkins) became just what my Pinterest vision board created in my mind! The catering company (The Feed) that The Haven connected me with was an excellent choice. The staff at The Haven managed to set up our taste testing, help arrange our menu, and helped make sure that everything with the caterer ran smoothly on our wedding day. The bar service at The Haven was also top-notch! All my guests (even the kids) enjoyed the beverage choices at the open bar. The fall mocktails were phenomenal! The staff at The Haven were knowledgeable and professional in all areas of wedding planning. The online planning tools helped organize things and keep everyone on the same page. We are so glad we chose The Haven for our wedding and highly recommend checking them out!

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!
