An affordable and beautiful space

This is one of my favorite places to photograph at for the cool, laid back wedding. It vibes well with a couple who is woodsy but can't have a full outdoor wedding. The indoor space is lovely and always photographs well and there are multiple areas to have your ceremony.

Pros:

Very affordable (particularly on a Sunday!)

Multiple lovely spaces

Beautiful in winter and summer

You can bring in anything you like! No restrictions on that.

Anywhere and everywhere!

Some of my favorite venues have been creative alternatives. Peoples backyards, in the middle of the woods, aribnbs and so much more.

Pros

Full control over planning

Less decorations if you choose an outdoor venue

Laid back and maybe more you

In the country

But actually...not in the country! This beautiful venue is in the heart Westerville, hidden away from view. It's so lovely, you don't have to go anywhere else for photos if you don't want to. Multiple historical buildings, a gorgeous farmhouse with huge windows and a barn that gives you just enough of a rustic feel.

Easy to decorate such a lovely place

Great areas to get ready in

You can bring in alot of your own stuff

Easy parking
