I simply cannot say enough AMAZING things about Heart of it All Cabins. From very first finding them online, to our visit, and to our actual wedding day- it was PERFECT. The property is gorgeous and absolutely made for a dream wedding back drop. Communication was flawless and I always had all the answers before I could even think of a question! We had a small family ceremony and it was the perfect set up. I truly believe it would accommodate any size wedding beautifully. I was able to get ready in the Pinnacle and my husband got ready in the Alto. With the cabins so close together it was a perfect distance to be close enough while being separate but have zero logistical worries. We were able to hang out for the weekend and enjoy both cabins before our big day. Both A-Frames played a huge part in making our photos beautiful and making our wedding day as perfect as I imagined. Additionally, we have a place to come back for future anniversaries or special occasions which makes it that much more special. I will ALWAYS be so thankful and grateful for Heart of it All and we cannot wait to return time and time again. If you need any convincing to have your wedding here- this is it. You will not be disappointed.

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!

The Haven at Cedar Grove

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 Crew did such a great job helping us plan our wedding & helped us keep it running smoothly day-of. They answered all of our many questions during the planning process. The venue itself is beautiful, too! Even though it rained, and we had to have our ceremony under their covered patio, the surroundings were still gorgeous! We and some of our family were even able to rent cabins on the property, and those were beautiful and cozy as well.

For pricing, you'll use our propriety system (the "Customizer") to build & compare multiple variations of your day to dial-in pricing - & then compare them to our "Everything Package" (absolutely everything for an entire day).

From the moment we booked The Havenstone for our wedding, Mike and Victoria were incredibly communicative, professional, and warm. They felt like family members, always going above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - idyllic, intimate, and with stunning scenic views. Mike and Victoria were there for us every step of the way, even helping to transport our mother who has mobility issues.

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
