Wolf Run Acres

Washington Court House, OH
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,500

We are the Boswell family. Wolf Run Acres is concept that came about after hosting our daughters weddings and struggling to find the country setting they wanted. After hosting one on this site under a tent we rented, we decided this is a beautiful setting for a wedding venue. We wanted to give our guests a beautiful dream country wedding, but design it to be more industrial and modern and less rustic than comparable venues. Our hope is to give each couple, a unique, beautiful setting while ensuring they have the wedding of their dreams. We work with each couple from the time we meet them through their day, making sure we meet all their needs and coordinating with their vendors to ensure they have as stress free and enjoyable day as possible.

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

Whispering Hearts Event Center was an amazing venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Lauren and her family were laid-back, helpful and incredibly friendly. They made everything feel so easy and anticipated needs that we didn't think of, and even provided us with a sweet customized gift that was completely unexpected. The property is absolutely beautiful, with lots of great spots outside for guests and photos, so we were able to keep the decor simple and let the natural setting shine. The venue is truly relatively affordable considering the size of the building (we had 130 guests and plenty of space without it feeling too empty), the scheduling (we had the venue from 9am to midnight!), and amenities (an amazing kitchen with plenty of fridge and oven space, ice on site, a bar with ample fridge space, plenty of parking, etc.). We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our special day at Whispering Hearts and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an stress-free, beautiful wedding experience. We also utilized the on-site rental house and were SO happy with our decision!

Darby House was a beautiful property to host our wedding. While their communication style was a bit slow, with emails typically taking 3-5 days to respond, the venue itself was perfect. My wedding coordinator, who was different than originally planned, was absolutely fantastic and made everything smooth and enjoyable. I never had to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The only downside was that I accidentally left a locket of my deceased brother on my bouquet at the venue, and when I emailed both my original coordinator and the florist provided by Darby House, I did not receive a response. Overall, though, Darby House provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day.

Lorraine and the entire OBR team were FANTASTIC to work with! The entire planning process and communication with them seriously could not have been easier. I was able to visit the venue twice before booking. Lorraine answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns throughout the planning process and in the months leading up to the wedding. We had a blast using the lodge and grooms' suite to get ready the morning of the wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning -- inside and outside! If I could go back and do it all over again, I would absolutely make the same decision and get married at the OBR. 10/10 recommend, for sure!!

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.

They were flexible and easy to plan with out-of-state, and they were accommodating for me to visit and see the new renovations.

My wife and I held our wedding reception at The Grand in September 2023, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome! We had booked the space about 18 months prior in early 2022 and at that time, there was a different chef and day-of coordinator than those we ended up with by the time of our wedding. While these and some other changes were a bit stressful in the months leading up to our big day, this space has a lot to offer, and we ended up in good hands with Olivia, who was far better at communicating than the prior DoC. Everything came together beautifully on our wedding day, and we received a lot of compliments about the food (prepared onsite by Chef Travis) from our guests. The event center's immediate connection to the adjoining hotel is also a bonus for guests' peace of mind, and we appreciated the free parking. Grandview Yard has definitely elevated its status in recent years with new shops, housing, and food options, and we enjoyed being close to downtown where many of our photo locations and our ceremony space were also located. It's also worth noting that this space felt more authentic than a lot of the other places we looked at around town. There are a lot of "cookie-cutter" venues out there, but we felt that we had a uniquely tailored experience at The Grand. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough, and I think it's a fair value for the money!

Heritage golf club was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Liz and her team were so professional and kind to us throughout the whole experience. Liz was very quick to respond to emails and the staff help to not only set up, but tear down the venue which alleviates a lot of stress on the couple. The team was very cooperative in making our dream vision come to life and checking in on the couple and their guests throughout the night. The food, drinks, atmosphere, service and all around experience could not have been better. If you are considering heritage for your event, especially your wedding, look no further as they are amazing and will make sure your special day goes off without a hitch. -The Sheline’s

This place has a beautiful rustic feel, bar games, and just all around great atmosphere. We didn't even decorate anything! They had plenty of tables with nice black covers to make them more upscale. The murals bring so much life into the room. I had so many compliments on the space! Josh was very easy to work with throughout the planning process! The drinks were delicious, the staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating! I would choose this place all over again in a heartbeat.

Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!
