Catering off-site events can be difficult, but Jeanne Fleming made it a breeze. We, as caterers, were able to communicate easily with her from when the wedding planning began through the day and evening of the event. We were able to work together in a way that gave the bride and groom nothing to worry about on their special day. I have been recommending The Christy House after discovering how great they are to work with!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Oakwood Lane Weddings on November 9th and it was the PERFECT day! The property is stunning, and the owners, Amanda and Jesh, are so welcoming, kind, helpful, and overall just the most incredible people. Amanda was always checking in with us from the time we first visited the venue until we were cleaning up the morning after the ceremony and helped us every step of the way. She kept us up to date on any offerings they had available and was quick to offer additional services if she felt it would make the day better.

We had a lovely stay at Plaz Vilka for our college couples-only reunion. We had a mix of couples and singles and the cottages gave us flexibility for people to choose their sleeping arrangements and allowed for privacy. The property also had plenty of spaces to gather together as a large group which was the goal! We even did a special outdoor dinner event with a private chef which was the highlight of the weekend. The chef had multiple kitchen options to prepare and serve dinner at the property with plenty of supplies. We had the best weekend complete with beautiful sunsets! Highly recommend this property and the owners were great to work with - absolutely no issues at all! Thank you!

From the moment we inquired about Arlington Acres, Sarah and her team were extremely tentative, kind, and thoughtful in their communication. The venue itself is spacious, clean, and easy to decorate, providing excellent value for our wedding. When the weather unexpectedly turned for the worse, I couldn't thank Sarah enough for giving us time to see if it would change, and then being so kind and supportive in quickly shifting everything to the stunning Old Barn at the last minute. The smooth transition and beautiful, versatile spaces with a rustic-modern feel made our day even more perfect than we could have imagined. Our guests raved about the seamless flow from ceremony to reception.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of being the first wedding held at The Barn at Seneca Hills, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We knew there would be challenges as the venue was still being finalized, but Sarah Bolte went above and beyond to ensure everything was ready for our big day. She answered all of our questions promptly, often going the extra mile to coordinate with her team during renovations. Her dedication and care for the couples she works with are truly unmatched. The venue itself is breathtaking—rustic, modern, and newly renovated. We intentionally kept our decorations minimal to let the beauty of the space shine through. The garage doors were a highlight, giving us seamless indoor-outdoor flow for cocktail hour and access to the bar. Our guests loved the fire pits scattered throughout the property, allowing them to enjoy the beautiful grounds and move freely between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The bartenders were fantastic, providing excellent service and ensuring our guests were happy with the drink selections we had chosen. Every detail about the space contributed to a smooth, memorable experience. For couples planning their ceremony, I highly recommend hosting it on-site. The grounds provided a stunning setting, and being able to transition effortlessly from ceremony to reception on the same property allowed us to fully enjoy our day without the stress of travel. Our sunset photos were magical and some of our favorites from the day. Sarah’s organization and thoughtful approach were especially helpful since we planned everything ourselves. She provided us with all the tools and support we needed for a seamless wedding. It’s clear she genuinely cares about making each couple’s experience special. The Barn at Seneca Hills is a gem in Northwest Ohio. From its incredible property to Sarah’s dedication and kindness, the experience was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, versatile, and run by someone who truly loves what they do, this is the place for you. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and will cherish the memories forever.
