Wedding planning

Barn, ballroom or vineyard? Choosing an Ohio wedding venue

Ohio couples have a wide range of venue styles to choose from. Here's how the most popular options compare, so you can narrow your search on Ohio weddings.

Ballrooms and hotels

Great for larger guest lists and guests traveling in, since rooms are on site. Many include catering, tables and staff in a package. Browse ballrooms and hotels.

Barns and farms

Rustic and roomy, often with outdoor ceremony space. Ask whether you'll need to bring in rentals, lighting or a caterer, and what the rain plan is. Browse barns and farms.

Vineyards and wineries

Beautiful scenery and built-in drinks, though some have rules about outside alcohol and end times. Browse vineyards and wineries.

Before you sign

Ask about capacity, what's included, required vendor lists, insurance, setup and cleanup times, and the payment schedule. Then shortlist your favorites together in your shared wedding workspace.
