We had our son's graduation party at this ranch with about 100 people, and honestly, it was just perfect. The place is beautiful with a huge, super spacious barn with really unique décor inside that made setting up a bar, dance floor, and tables super easy. The layout kept the flow of guests smooth and uncluttered, which made the whole party feel relaxed and comfortable. We also rented the three-bedroom brick house separately, which was great for getting ready and having a quiet spot away from the party for a bit. The side patio was wide and extremely well spaced for serving food, and since it was covered, it worked perfectly even when it rained with no interruptions at all. The golf carts for getting around were a fun bonus, and everyone loved cruising the grounds. And those sunsets? Absolutely gorgeous. They made the whole evening feel magical. Renting it was a seamless process and the staff was amazing! they really made everything easy and were super helpful. We’ve had so many friends say how much they loved the venue. If you’re thinking about a wedding, graduation, or any big get-together, this place is a total gem. We can’t recommend it enough!

The Haven at Cedar Grove

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

In 2016, Cedar Grove’s owners, Kevin and Julie Claus, were sitting on the porch of Stillwater Lodge with some friends, gazing upon their 65-acre property. With 6 cabins and 2 lodges running smoothly, it was time to start planning for their next adventure. They talked about their 3 children growing up on the property, and reminisced on how so many milestones were celebrated. With all their kids growing up, they talked about them finding love and how wonderful it would be to see them married on the property where they shared so many memories. That was the day the dream began! Kevin quickly grabbed a napkin and feverishly started scribbling sketches of a large lodge that could hold all of their friends and family, celebrating the futures of their children. In true Claus fashion, they did not let this vision pass them by, and got to working on the lodge right away.

We invite you to watch our profile video to see why we're a Place Like Nowhere Else... The Havenstone is an 18 acre property that has been family owned for over 40 years. We've recently made this magical space available for limited engagements (weddings, photography, the arts & wellness).

We do this to allow access for all budgets - if you feel connected to the Havenstone & can't imagine your wedding anywhere else, we want to remove any obstacles. For pricing, you'll use our propriety system (the "Customizer") to build & compare multiple variations of your day to dial-in pricing - & then compare them to our "Everything Package" (absolutely everything for an entire day). This is all easily & immediately accessible through a link to our homepage we will send if you request additional information.

The Havenstone was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, Mike and Victoria were attentive, accommodating, and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The property's natural beauty is truly unmatched - our guests were in awe of the stunning scenery and grounds. They were so helpful with walking us through the booking and planning, and even came to our rescue when we had a crisis with the food, letting us use their own microwave to heat it up. I can't say enough positive things about The Havenstone and Mike & Victoria. They are such amazing people, and made our special day truly unforgettable. Isabella&Adam

Buss Farms is the best hidden gem wedding venue near Columbus. My (now) husband and I had searched for quite a few venues and just never got that perfect “feeling” that I wanted about any of them. Every place had some negatives that I couldn’t quite get past. Then, my husband found Buss Farms and we booked a tour. We immediately loved the owners, Matt and Stephanie! They were just the sweetest and made us feel so comfortable and excited about envisioning our wedding there! They just made it so personal for us! The venue itself is stunning! We barely needed any decor because the venue itself is so beautiful! It was perfect size for our wedding and I loved having separate spaces for dinner seating and cocktail hour stuff. The views from where the ceremony is held outside are the most perfect backdrop for any photos! THE PINE TREES though. When Matt and Stephanie were showing us the venue, they showed us the mini pine tree forest and that sealed the deal for me! It is absolutely breathtaking for sunset photos (or any photos really). Matt and Stephanie were the warmest people and so easy to work with. They have great experience and ideas. They make you feel like you’re part of their family. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more!
