barn or farm wedding?

finney.28

I'm trying to find some type of barn or farm where I can have a reception. We both grew up on farms but on the opposite sides of the state and would like to get married in the central ohio area as a compromise between our two families. I have looked into the Everal Barn in Westerville - which I'm in love with - but concerned about the no alcohol policy as that's a little atypical for us and our families/friends. needs to fit between 175-200 people. Anyone have some ideas?
Thanks in advane for any help. !

I had looked at this: http://www.white-star-farm.com/redbarn.htm but it's in London which is a slight hike. The Everal Barn no alcohol thing was a bummer for us,  too.

I thought of White Star Farms too.  Another idea is Darby House which is on the grounds of the Galbreath family's Darby Dan Farms estate.  I think I've seen pictures in Columbus Bride where guests were on a hay ride from the ceremony to the reception.  They have the minimums/rental rates on their website.  It can be pricey, but if it fits your budget, the events there are beautiful.

On another post, someone mentioned they were getting married at Barn at the Backwoods.... I have never heard of it, and it is kinda far out, southeast of Buckeye Lake, but it is definitely a barn. http://www.barnatthebackwoods.com/

Dorral Farm in Marysville might be worth checking out.  Not quite as "rustic" looking as some of the others, though.

Thanks so much, that acutally might be JUST what we wanted and London's not too bad! Appreciate all the help ladies!!

London is not far at all from Columbus. That is actually where FI is from and we are getting married. The Darby House is beatiful, btw, but pretty pricey. Have you tried Oakhurst country club? I know it is a country club, but it has lots of outdoor space like the Darby House. Good luck.
