Willow Haven Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Duane and Kitty were incredibly flexible, open, honest, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire planning process. Their communication was top-notch, and you could tell they truly enjoy what they do. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - with a rustic, cozy, and unique vibe that was exactly what we were looking for.

Never did I imagine that my husband and l's big day would be such an amazing stress free event. Destiny and her team at the Postmark left a big imprint on our hearts and made us feel like we were a part of the teams family. Never once did they rush us or push us to do anything we never wanted. Destiny gave us some amazing recommendations on floor plans, ideas for decor and helped us through every step of the way and did it all with a smile. Any questions I had? Instantly answered with ease and then some. Not even did I gain a beautiful memory and a beautiful place for pictures, but a few friends along the way! If I could go back and relive our big day I would do it in a heartbeat knowing that there was so much love and hard work shared between us, the Venue and the wonderful team with us. I couldn't recommend anyone else to celebrate our day with!

The Haven at Cedar Grove

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

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.

We had our son's graduation party at this ranch with about 100 people, and honestly, it was just perfect. The place is beautiful with a huge, super spacious barn with really unique décor inside that made setting up a bar, dance floor, and tables super easy. The layout kept the flow of guests smooth and uncluttered, which made the whole party feel relaxed and comfortable. We also rented the three-bedroom brick house separately, which was great for getting ready and having a quiet spot away from the party for a bit. The side patio was wide and extremely well spaced for serving food, and since it was covered, it worked perfectly even when it rained with no interruptions at all. The golf carts for getting around were a fun bonus, and everyone loved cruising the grounds. And those sunsets? Absolutely gorgeous. They made the whole evening feel magical. Renting it was a seamless process and the staff was amazing! they really made everything easy and were super helpful. We’ve had so many friends say how much they loved the venue. If you’re thinking about a wedding, graduation, or any big get-together, this place is a total gem. We can’t recommend it enough!
