The Old Blue Rooster Event Center hosts ceremonies and receptions as well as elopements, civil unions, vow renewals, second weddings, bridal showers, and other celebrations. We would love to help make your wedding dream a reality!
The Old Blue Rooster Event Center was the perfect place for our country wedding reception! We were married in a historic park near the event center and spent the afternoon/evening at the Old Blue Rooster for our reception. Lorraine was wonderful to work with - she made our wedding easy to plan! She was open to meeting our requests for specific wines/beers, as well as room setup. She makes everything seamless by providing optional linens, bartender, and list of potential caterers. We utilized the smaller building since our reception was small and it was perfect for our reception. I highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 11-12-2023

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!! Reviewed on 07-11-2023

This place is beyond beautiful, especially if you are getting married in the fall. There is a beautiful outside ceremony area, but with Ohio if it doesn't cooperate, they have made a beautiful alternative inside for you as well. From start to finish Lorraine and her team were so helpful in every step of this process. If we had any questions, Lorraine was just a text message away. They have extremely affordable packages and even allow you to bring in your own outside food. They have a bar onsite that comes with staff to serve you day of. If you have specific alchol preferences, they are able to order that for you. Also they have a lodge onsite that came with our package, that we used for the bridal party to get ready in. We also left all of our stuff we used to get ready and set up decor wise in that lodge during our wedding. I loved that we were able to have both the ceremony and the reception in the same place. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone getting married. Reviewed on 22-10-2023

I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Old Blue Rooster! My husband and I got married at the barn in June of 2022- After touring the barn in 2021, we immediately canceled all of our other venue tours because we knew we found our perfect spot! Lorraine was very hands-on and readily available to answer any questions/ concerns we had in the planning process. The rest of the staff was friendly, professional, and overall amazing, as wel!The outdoor ceremony space required very minimal decor because it is already set up so beautifully- which I loved as a āDIYā bride on a budget! The inside was very spacious and worked very well for our small wedding of 75 guests, but can comfortably accommodate many more people. The property itself is perfect for outdoor activities such as cornhole, sāmores, and lawn games. To say Old Blue Rooster fulfilled my āfairytaleā wedding vision would be an absolute understatement. Almost 1 year later and Iām still in awe of how perfect the day went. Reviewed on 19-05-2023

Not only is the venue incredibly beautiful, but the staff are unbeatable! Lorraine, event manager, is so kind, accommodating, and easy to get ahold of. She was always quick to answer questions, make changes to our plan as needed, and always tried hard to accommodate any requests we had. Our experience with Lorraine alone would have been enough for me to recommend this venue to anyone & everyone! However, the night of our wedding, we got to meet even more staff who helped us set up and clean up and ran the bar for the event, and they were just as wonderful! I am so incredibly grateful to OBR for the perfect wedding experience.A few tips on the Barn: 1. Rent the lodge! Itās worth the extra money to have extra space right there on the property! And itās a great getaway space if you need a break or a quiet moment alone with your new spouse. 2. They have a liquor license, so you must purchase alcohol through the venue and cannot bring outside alcohol. But they have so many options! & when we realized the night before that we wanted champagne for mimosas during our morning of getting ready, it was so easy for me to reach out and ask them to have some available for us and add it to our bar tab!3. Ask them about their associate vendors! They have a Day of Coordinator/Planner that does weddings there all the time, so she is very knowledgeable about the venue & best way to do things. They also work closely with a linens company, that was so hassle-free! They had the linens there for us when we arrived, and all we had to do at the end of the night was leave them in a bag at the venue! Both of these vendors were extremely affordable and made all the difference in our day!4. Donāt second guess it, just book here!! They have two beautiful locations to choose from, & the incredible staff will make your day so stress free and wonderful. You wonāt regret it! Reviewed on 27-09-2021

Even things I never would have thought of! Jessica was with me the day of and was so helpful if I need anything. Overall- We are completely satisfied with the entire process but especially our day! We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Reviewed on 14-09-2019

Lorraine was so helpful throughout the entire planning process by answering all of our questions and making helpful suggestions to personalize everything for us! Everything was perfect for our wedding! Our bartenders were fantastic at our wedding and everything looked so beautiful! Air conditioning for a mid July wedding was a must and the lodge was a perfect space to get ready in! Our photographer, videographer, and makeup artist loved the lodge and the location with all the natural light. I can't say enough good things about this venue and their staff! Reviewed on 16-07-2019
Katherine Rodriguez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2019 Couldnt have asked for a better venue. Great staff, flexible and responsive. Gorgeous venue with an outdoor ceremony space that we used AND the reception space literally right next to each other. Extensive array of alcoholic beverage choices, have to buy through them because of their liquor license. Can work with ALL budgets.

Lorraine and Jessica were so kind, flexible, and organized. Everything was beautiful and perfect, and I would definitely recommend having your wedding here! The scenery was gorgeous, there was plenty of space, and the staff was amazing. All of our vendors had plenty of space, there were plenty of tables for our guests and food and vendors. They had linens on site to be rented as well as a drink trough, a drink stand with plenty of drinks and ice, and beautiful decor like a hoop for greenery. I am so pleased! Reviewed on 03-07-2019
Brooke Klute(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2019 Where do I begin. Choosing the Old Blue Rooster for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and the inside of the venue speaks for itself with minimal decorations. The staff was more than accommodating and worked so hard to make sure our day was perfect. Lorraine was quick to return any calls and texts and made our wedding planning process a breeze. We hired Alisa, our coordinator, for all our day of wedding needs. I'm 100% positive we wouldn't have made it through our wedding day without her. She discreetly handled any issues to ensure that we were fully focused on having the most fun. I will forever cherish our wedding day at OBR and highly recommend this venue to any future brides.

Blakely Cheatham(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 The Old Blue Rooster was the perfect place for our Wedding. We started planning a little over a year beforehand with Lorraine, and she was so helpful through the entire process. She is continually working with several brides at a time and was able to respond to any of my emails within the day I sent it. The venue is beautiful and super affordable. The day we set up, we realized we were missing a table and Alyssa was our go to person for that day and the day of the wedding. She was able to work so well with us and rolled with everything we asked for and even made suggestion that made our day even more perfect. I think it would be hard to find a better, more reliable staff for our wedding. There's no way we could thank them enough! Reviewed on 10-10-2018
Kirsten Denney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 The shelterhouse was great with many options for photos and ceremony needs. The staff was very helpful and informative and willing to work with our special requests (using our horses in the ceremony) and accommodating changes to the original plan. The various package options helped us decide on the venue to fit within our budget needs and the availability of extra items for rental use came to our rescue as well. They were flexible with meeting times and able to keep us on track for everything to run smoothly. Use of a bridal suite was also an option and was very handy for prep the day of and comfortable for relaxing after a very busy day. Reviewed on 02-10-2018

I highly recommend The Old Blue Rooster and specifically the Barn. Not only is the space beautiful but the staff are so great! Lorraine was so easy to work with and helped every step of the way to ensure that our big day would go smoothly. Our favorite thing was flexibility in making it our wedding and exactly how we wanted it rather than having to only select from a list of caterers or vendors. A special touch that blew my husband and I away was that their staff took the time to write a card for us and add it to our box :) You canāt go wrong choosing this for your big day!!!

courtne kilby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2018 i had my wedding at the Old Blue Rooster- Shelter House location in June 2018. This venue was extremely beautiful and the scenery was incredible. My bridal party and I stayed at the venue the night before in the suits located at the venue and it made it tremendously convenient to have my hair and make up girls come to us. We spent the whole day getting ready and enjoying time together instead of worrying about running around and being certain places at specific times. Lorraine, the manager of the venue, was very helpful that day as well. She was helpful the entire journey of my wedding planning. When I needed questions or wanted to go over and look at the venue so I could come up with decoration ideas she was always willing to work with me so I could see the venue. She made the planning a little less stressful because come on now, wedding planning is nerve wracking because you just want the PERFECT wedding. My ceremony was so beautiful and the reception was fun and everyone had a great time. So many people told me how much they loved the venue and how remarkable it turned out.

To star,t the venue itself is gorgeous. It was the only place in our price range that my husband and I felt we could have an indoor or outdoor wedding and still love it. The outdoor part of the venue originally was all grass which made me nervous but it is now a beautiful cobblestone walkway so if you are worried about it, don't be. It was beautiful and the new arbor that replaced the metal half gazebo thing is gorgeous as well. Lorraine was amazing to work with on every level - she was quick to return texts, calls, or emails and was extremely flexible in every way. We literally changed our rehearsal dinner time three times that night (within like 30 minutes of our original time mind you) and she was very very accommodating. When we were clearly frazzled over setting up appetizers the day of she and her colleague helped my super stressed mother with the process. The two of them were also our bartenders and they were extremely nice to everyone and even extended the bar time last minute because we hadn't even come close to hitting our limit. The bar service itself is super wonderful and the margarita machine they have was a big hit with our guests. I would highly recommend this venue and encourage you to ignore the one star reviews from the disgruntled customers. Lorraine is amazing, the venue is beautiful, that is all. Reviewed on 25-04-2017
Kelsey Tinkler(wedding party)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 The barn location's garden outside is a muddy mess. It's on an incline. Everyone was slipping up and down the aisle way. We asked if hay or gravel could be laid down, but we were refused. We ran over 30 minutes during rehearsal due to the fact no one could walk anywhere in the mud. The bride was busy speaking to the caterer, while the manager was tapping her foot and pointing to her watch telling us she would have to charge us for the extra time. I understand it was in the contract but there was no reason for the interruption. Or she could have spoken to the groom/parents. The next day we got a message saying hay had been laid down and they would not be charging us. Wedding day: The brides dress was covered in mud as she walked down the aisle. (If you want a clean dress, this is not the place for you!) The owner used profanity to our bridal party when she approached us during our photography session. Apparently, her wedding manager had not told her we had paid to take photos on the site, so we were kicked off the main site by the bridal suite. Communication was horrible with these people. Profanity was unacceptable. Even our limo driver said he had never had such a horrible experience with wedding venue staff before. I would STAY AWAY from this venue. Reviewed on 02-10-2016
