The Haven at Cedar Grove 

4.7

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.

The Haven Crew did such a great job helping us plan our wedding & helped us keep it running smoothly day-of. They answered all of our many questions during the planning process. The venue itself is beautiful, too! Even though it rained, and we had to have our ceremony under their covered patio, the surroundings were still gorgeous! We and some of our family were even able to rent cabins on the property, and those were beautiful and cozy as well.

I do not think that I could say enough good things about this place and about this venue. First, Lauren is one of the best humans on this planet and I hope every bride has someone like her if they are planning on doing all of the planning themselves. I chose the package Lauren offers where I got to have her as the "Day of Coordinator" and she was on top of EVERYTHING. Any question, any idea, and every anxiety I had over this past year about this day, I would even go to her. She would help talk me through everything I needed and made sure any of my extra ideas that she could arrange for me prior to the day of, she did. I think there is a responsibility on every brides end, to have a good understanding at what a venue has to offer when choosing one. There is also a responsibility for a bride to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page to make the day perfect. You cannot assume anything. If you are looking for a place that has great staff, the prettiest view and everything in between- I would highly recommend Bell Manor. My wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I truly felt like I made a great friend in the process. Thank you again Lauren and Bell Manor! Love, Adam and Tiffany
