Whether you are planning a wedding, reunion, corporate retreat or large gathering, these are some of the area’s most memorable places to bring people together.
Where the Setting Is Part of the Celebration
Special occasions deserve a setting where the surroundings invite guests to stay awhile. Here are just a few of the Ohio Amish Country venues that draw their character from the landscape, distinctive architecture and experiences offered on-site.
Hummingbird Hill Flower Farm — Created to “plant hope and create joy,” the farm fills six acres with dahlias, zinnias, gardens, a gazebo, an art walk and long country views. Small gatherings can add flower picking, while the hosts or couple can extend the visit in a stylish tiny home.
The Eliot Estate — Provence-inspired lavender fields lead to an 1800s barn dismantled and rebuilt beam by beam. Up to 50 guests can move between its refined European-inspired interior, patio and fields, making the estate feel like a private escape on the backroads of Ohio Amish Country.
Winesburg Farm — The celebration extends well beyond the ceremony. A beautifully restored 1800s barn, peaceful pond, apple orchard and gardens create a memorable setting for weddings and special events, while on-site lodging invites guests to turn a single day into a relaxed countryside weekend.
Places to Slow Down and Reconnect
These stays are built around time together. Lodging, meals, outdoor activities and quiet spaces are all close at hand, giving reunions and retreats room to unfold at an easy pace.
The Inn at Honey Run — Art, nature and food shape this adults-only boutique resort. Guests can sleep in architecturally distinct Honeycomb rooms built into the hillside, encounter large-scale work along the Open Air Art Museum trails and come together over fine dining at Tarragon.
The Barn Inn — Reserving this century-old, 11-room barn gives up to 22 adults exclusive use of the great room and dining area. Old beams, full country breakfasts and personal hospitality create the atmosphere of a country house gathering rather than a conventional hotel stay.
Guggisberg Swiss Inn — Peaceful country lodging, estate wine and seasonal guided trail rides make this a perfect group retreat. Guests can linger over breakfast overlooking Doughty Valley, visit the onsite winery and enjoy time together without a packed itinerary.
Big Gatherings Made Easy
Searching for a place that makes larger gatherings easier to manage? Ohio Amish Country brings the essential pieces of the trip closer together, giving planners more control over the schedule and guests more freedom to settle in and enjoy the visit.
Amish Door Village — A gateway to local tradition, the village brings an inn, Amish-style dining, bakery, market and event spaces onto one campus. A group can move from a meeting or banquet to a comfort-food meal and shopping without boarding the bus again.
Berlin Resort — “More than a hotel” fits this property with a children’s village, private movie theater, pitch-and-putt greens, walking paths, ponds, fire pits, pool and meeting spaces. Different generations can choose their own fun and still reunite for meals, games and family videos.
Encore Hall and Berlin Encore Hotel — The attached hotel and 16,000-square-foot hall keep a major event under one roof. Indoor, outdoor and lakeside settings, onsite planning support, catering and room for up to 600 suit large weddings, conferences and banquets.
Berlin Grande Hotel — This popular stay promises a balance of modern amenities and Amish Country hospitality. More than 3,500 square feet of gathering space, guest rooms, breakfast and an indoor pool give tours, retreats and social groups a comfortable base in Berlin.
