Both Jenna & her husband are awesome to work with. Super helpful, flexible and always responsive. We have been recommending them to all engaged couples because of how awesome our experience was! They helped make our reception perfect with their low prices but outstanding quality of venue and customer service. After being disappointed with other venue options in our area, finding Forget Me Knot was such a blessing. Glad we were able to find this venue to have such an enjoyable day to look back on!

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 was exactly what I was looking for in a venue! We decided to use The Haven because they had so many options for our ceremony location. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but Ohio weather is unpredictable, so we wanted some backup options too. The outdoor spaces are beautiful. We originally planned for the alcove with the paved path (which was great because it was accessible), but rain moved us to the covered patio which was still beautiful! We used the building to get ready in the bridal suite, and for dinner and dancing. The paved, lighted patio was perfect for our faux exit (we had planned to use it for cornhole but rain/snow had other plans). We used many items from The Haven's borrowed decor collection, which saved us time and money. The decorations were beautiful, and with some minor touches (we added white pumpkins) became just what my Pinterest vision board created in my mind! The catering company (The Feed) that The Haven connected me with was an excellent choice. The staff at The Haven managed to set up our taste testing, help arrange our menu, and helped make sure that everything with the caterer ran smoothly on our wedding day. The bar service at The Haven was also top-notch! All my guests (even the kids) enjoyed the beverage choices at the open bar. The fall mocktails were phenomenal! The staff at The Haven were knowledgeable and professional in all areas of wedding planning. The online planning tools helped organize things and keep everyone on the same page. We are so glad we chose The Haven for our wedding and highly recommend checking them out!

White Willow Meadows was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we inquired, the team was fast, efficient and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and guiding us through the planning process. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, with stunning landscaping and well-maintained facilities. We received so many compliments about how beautiful our venue was. We loved having the option to host our ceremony in the beautiful gardens or covered patio. The on-site overnight lodging at the dairy barn was also a huge perk that we really enjoyed. The White Willow Meadows team was wonderful to work with and truly made our special day perfect in every way.
