I do not think that I could say enough good things about this place and about this venue. First, Lauren is one of the best humans on this planet and I hope every bride has someone like her if they are planning on doing all of the planning themselves. I chose the package Lauren offers where I got to have her as the "Day of Coordinator" and she was on top of EVERYTHING. Any question, any idea, and every anxiety I had over this past year about this day, I would even go to her. She would help talk me through everything I needed and made sure any of my extra ideas that she could arrange for me prior to the day of, she did. I think there is a responsibility on every brides end, to have a good understanding at what a venue has to offer when choosing one. There is also a responsibility for a bride to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page to make the day perfect. You cannot assume anything. If you are looking for a place that has great staff, the prettiest view and everything in between- I would highly recommend Bell Manor. My wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I truly felt like I made a great friend in the process. Thank you again Lauren and Bell Manor! Love, Adam and Tiffany

The Haven at Cedar Grove 

4.7

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • 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!

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 Havenstone was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, Mike and Victoria were attentive, accommodating, and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The property's natural beauty is truly unmatched - our guests were in awe of the stunning scenery and grounds. They were so helpful with walking us through the booking and planning, and even came to our rescue when we had a crisis with the food, letting us use their own microwave to heat it up. I can't say enough positive things about The Havenstone and Mike & Victoria. They are such amazing people, and made our special day truly unforgettable. Isabella&Adam
