We LOVED The Beverly Mansion. We live in Columbus, and with our families in NE and West Ohio, this was the perfect middle point. Tim was extremely communicative and made the process a breeze for logistics and the catering. 7 months later, our guests are still raving about the venue and food! We go to 6-7 weddings a year and can truly attest that what Beverly has to offer, and the price point, can't be matched! If we had to do it all over again, we'd still pick Beverly!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Meeker’s Venue. The staff, the venue, the services offered, and for the price?? Cannot be beat. They are a family that truly cares about your day and your vision. As someone planning our wedding from out of town they were so flexible through the planning process. They’ve done this so many times they really think of everything, absolutely nothing on my day went wrong. I cannot thank Tess and John enough. My only note as something to know for a future bride is that while we LOVE the vintage look/feel off the bell tower, watch your white dresses on the floor! It’s a little dusty up there! Nothing we couldn’t buff out but just a note!

Anytime I had a question, Lisa was ready to answer it or to set my mind at ease about things. She always had time to talk things through and never made us feel rushed. Things could be flexible when necessary. The whole day was lovely from beginning to end. Thank you for making this as stress free as possible!

The Venue The venue itself is stunning year round. Words can't do justice to how gorgeous the building and grounds are. We had spent months looking at other venues beforehand, but nothing even came close. The property has a history and story to it as well, which we can definitely appreciate. It feels secluded with trees and foliage surrounding it on all sides and the mansion is unreal. This place is a hidden gem. The Staff Lisa Ferraro is just the best. She is so kind, insightful, proactive, and all-around fantastic at what she does. We'd spent a good amount of time getting to know her on the first day that we toured and everything just clicked. We had great, fun conversations and felt so much more relaxed about our wedding knowing that this was it. She connected us with the best vendors (shout out to Matt the DJ with Seamless Sounds!), went out of her way to accommodate the accessibility needs of our guests, and asked all the right questions to keep our wedding planning on track. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went perfectly and we can't say enough great things about her! The rest of the staff nailed it too-- the setup day-of looked beautiful and teardown went flawlessly.

From the moment we visited Buss Farms, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning and everything we wanted. What truly makes it special are the owners, Stephanie and Matt. They are the kindest people we’ve ever met and made us feel like family from the very beginning. You can truly feel how much they love and care for each of their couples. One of the most memorable moments of our day was having Stephanie and Matt stand with me and open the barn doors into the ceremony. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that I’ll never forget. Their presence throughout the day made everything feel so personal and heartfelt. It’s also amazing to see their kids around the farm, helping and being part of it all—it really adds to the family-run feel and makes the whole experience so warm and genuine. They can be as involved or not as involved as you'd like, but their love and care are always there. Stephanie helped me immensely when it came to planning and providing resources for different companies. Stephanie and Matt made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, supportive, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Buss Farms isn’t just a beautiful venue—it’s a place filled with heart and so much faith. We’re so thankful we chose them on our big day!
