Earthy, sustainable, wild and handcrafted weddings
The Woods at Canyon Run Ranch is a world apart from other wedding venues providing an authentic experience in a solar-powered, eco-friendly setting. Described as wild and handcrafted, we have been featured in say yes ai magazine as a Real Weddings for the past four years. Columbus magazine has nominated us as Ohio's Top Destination Wedding Venue, and HGTV's David Bromstadt did a photoshoot here. There are good reasons for all the attention for this nature-based venue. The rustic, casual warmth of the barn is a welcoming spot for your reception and can accommodate up to 150 guests. Near the stunning stone home is a charming, private apartment for getting dressed, with a large outdoor deck. The formal knot garden is a great setting for first look and other portraits, a photographer’s dream. But the real magic happens in the woods, where ceremonies are held. Located in the scenic Stillwater River Valley near Troy, OH, CRR encompasses 153 acres of lush woodlands and wildflower fields. The Woods on a ridge overlooking the valley is where couples exchange their wedding vows under a canopy of trees in total privacy. The bench seating in the woods is handmade from the trees on the property with space for wheelchairs. The curly willow arbor can be adorned with flowers or left bare, for a touch of whimsy. Two new electric 6-passenger limo golf carts, and a gas-powered 8-passenger Polaris Ranger are provided to shuttle guests from the parking area to the woods. The Canyon Run creek is the namesake of CRR and meanders through the property, pass the barn, flowing to a series of sparkling waterfalls. Perfect for outdoor lovers, with trees, the sound of trickling water, and vast fields of wildflowers all in a very private, secluded setting within 15 minutes of hotels and 30 minutes from an international airport. The Milk Parlor is separate from the reception area, a rustic space with original log ceiling beams and hand-hewn supports lit by Edison bulbs on antique pulleys that act a centerpiece for the long wood table that runs down the center of the Milk Parlor. The spacious Barn has high ceilings with original wood beams lit by thousands of fairy lights. There is a charming bar and DJ/Emcee loft. CRR’s package includes all the tables, cushioned Chiavari chairs, and a variety of decorative tables for your cake, guest book, desserts, etc. Various decor pieces are also included as is a venue coordinator and complimentary consultation prior to your wedding day. Catering is not provided. Any licensed caterer is welcome, allowing you the freedom to bring along your culinary team of choice. CRR works in collaboration with Craft Event Bar whose team offers friendly, professional bartending, fun DJ/Emcee service and a full spectrum of event planning. Due to the outdoor nature of Canyon Run, the season runs May through October, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only.
