Ivory Meadows LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear, constant, and incredibly helpful. The venue itself was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a lovely country-chic style. When we had an isolated issue with the shuttle buses (unrelated to Ivory Meadows), our coordinator handled it efficiently before we could even ask for their help! The Ivory Meadows team was kind, professional, and knowledgeable, treating us like family from the day we booked until the night we left. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful, family-owned business to host our special day.

So so so pleased with my experience at The Retreat!! Our wedding turned out better than we could have imagined thanks to the staff's hard work and attention to detail. We had a very specific vision for our wedding and they were communicative, accommodating, and went above and beyond to help us have our DREAM day!!!! We also stayed the night in the house and there was plenty of room for us and our whole bridal party and it made a perfect and stunning space for both bride and groom's sides to get ready. The house (and entire property) felt like home, exactly what we wanted and could not have asked for more!!!

The Big Barn Venue 
Englewood, OH
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,500

We first used our barn for our daughter's wedding because she wanted to have her magical day in the barn and backyard she grew up in. During our wedding, guests kept telling us "what a great idea to use this for a wedding". We had our first Big Barn Venue wedding in 2018 and we continued to book more dates throughout the wedding season. Our barn does not have heating or air so we cannot accommodate much farther outside of the months of June - October. Our brides, grooms, family and friends that have visited the barn for a wedding have truly enjoyed the country scenery we offer and also the amount of space the wedding has to use for a reception and ceremony. Photographers love the fields and they enjoy using almost all of the 200 acres for beautiful photos and videos.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Has a dance floor for celebration
