The Barn at Pineridge was a wonderful venue for our wedding! The owners, Jeremy and Melissa, were incredibly professional, efficient, and kind throughout the entire planning process. Their communication was top-notch, and they were always available to answer our questions, no matter how last-minute. On the day of, Jeremy drove guests around in the golf cart, which was a huge help, and Melissa was available to address any concerns we had. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a beautiful lake and creek nearby. It was a great value for the price, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to create beautiful memories on our special day.

Heartland on Heritage 

5.0

Magnolia, OH

  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,995

Fun, Energy, Great Vibes! 5.0 Stars: A Truly Amazing Venue! BOOK IT!! Heartland is a wonderful location for a wedding. The barn was beautifully decorated (not to mention the amount of other decorations they already had on-site was a great way to save money), and the rolling hills made a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and pictures (especially the photo-bombing alpacas). They were so incredibly kind and wonderful to work with throughout the process. They made time to answer all of our questions and were incredibly accommodating by allowing us to take tours and re-visit as we started planning for our wedding. One of the biggest perks was having the venue for the entire weekend, which made setting up and enjoying our day that much easier. Everyone we've spoken to after the wedding have continued to say how beautiful the venue was and how it made for the absolute perfect wedding. I highly recommend Heartland to any bride looking for a beautiful wedding that's truly one-of-a-kind!

From the moment we first reached out, the team at Heartland on Heritage impressed us with their fast, honest, and thoughtful communication. They made the planning process easy, and were incredibly open to customizing the space to fit our vision. The venue itself is beautifully rustic and clean, with a lovely natural setting that our guests adored - many even spent time exploring the grounds and snapping photos of the scenery. We especially loved that they have animals on site, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed meeting them. When I decided I wanted to use the garage for some extra space, Jenny and her husband went above and beyond to help us rig up a curtain system. The end result was a stunning, personalized wedding that exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Heartland on Heritage.

I got married at Rivercrest Farm in August and I cannot recommend it enough!! The beautiful barn and scenery, the people who work there, the animals - its all perfect! From my very first visit to the farm in June 2023 I have been wow'ed by how terrific the team is! Alex, Deanna and everyone they have working for them are SO kind, helpful, creative and just truly incredible. Once seeing the beautiful venue and meeting Alex/Deanna I quickly changed my ideal date so that I could get married at this spot and have their help with planning. They make it so easy with their planning guide including every vendor suggestion you could ever need and their decor closet is a life saver! Alex held a planning meeting with us where she walked us through every detail of the day and helped me remember small details I had missed so we avoided any issues day of. The day of the wedding I had a team of family/bridesmaids/groomsmen ready to help set up and they were not needed. Alex and her team handled everything for us and it made the day so stress free. Also - the cows and mini donkeys are a huge plus! The place is truly magical and I can't thank them enough for all they did for us.

If you are stuck between wanting a classic, old fashioned and a modern, sleek wedding, you can have BOTH at Sun Valley! The completely renovated inside mixed with the charming covered patio and pond outside creates the perfect blend; let's not forget that it sits on 25 acres of land in a very secluded area. This truly is a hidden gem! I never knew SV existed until my fiancé (now husband) and I decided to change our wedding venue TWO months before the big day (Covid-19 played a major role in that). I can honestly say that changing our venue was the best decision we made! Not only did Jennifer accommodate our wedding date but she worked with us up until the very day to make sure everything was just how we had envisioned it to be (we were also very fortunate to be the FIRST wedding under the ownership of Jennifer, Melissa and Scott)! When I walked into SV on my wedding day, I was blown away at how spot on every little detail was. Everything from the entrance table to the layout of the guest tables to the décor was exactly how I wanted it. I love that SV gave me access to their online seating chart so I could do my own layout and make changes up until a couple days before the wedding. Jennifer had very minimal questions for me the week of which is crucial because, as a bride, the week of the wedding is very overwhelming; the last thing you need to worry about is your setup at the venue. SV also provides a spacious bridal suite with a code generated lock where you and your bridal party can store all of your belongings throughout the night. Let's also not forget about the mirrors in the suite that light up at the touch of your finger; I wish I'd spent more time in there but, as everyone always says, the night flies by - and they are right! Another benefit of having your wedding at SV is that the grounds and pond make for beautiful photos! Some of my best photos were captured right next to the pond under a beautiful tree. While having photos taken, it was so refreshing to look over and see our guests fully enjoying cocktail hour that was setup outside with an open bar and delicious appetizers provided by Flour. If you are able to, splurge and rent some colorful linen from Event Source and hire an acoustic musician to play during cocktail hour. It really makes for a magical evening for your friends and family. I cannot tell you how many people commented on how SV was the most beautiful venue they'd ever been to. I couldn't agree more and I can't believe I almost didn't get married there! I really could not have pictured having my wedding anywhere else. If you are stuck between a few venues, do yourself a favor and just go with Sun Valley! Between Jennifer (wedding planner), Melissa (photographer) & Scott (DJ), you are working with three seasoned industry professionals who know how to put on a party! You will not regret your decision!
