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 the knot 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.
The level of service we received was not at all what I was expecting or worth what we paid for. Everything felt very transactional. Your wedding is a very important, emotional, significant event, but we felt like just another transaction to the owners. Leading up to the wedding, we were offered many extra services for additional charges, which we declined. Each time we would decline an extra add-on, it felt like the quality of service would decrease and that we were treated as not-so-valuable customers. We paid $250 for the rehearsal at the venue, only to show up and no one is there, no lights are on, and no golf carts are ready to go (ceremony site is a long steep walk). Us, the whole wedding party, officiant, and our parents had no direction and no possibility of getting any questions answered as no staff were present. I tried calling the owner - no answer. I had communicated with the owner 1 week prior to our rehearsal, to which I told her I would see her in a week at the rehearsal. She could have used that opportunity to let me know no one would be present, which would have been fine if we would've been notified, but she didn't. - Also, the barn (reception site) was completely unlocked/open the night of our rehearsal, with the next evening's wedding decor out in the open. I would not have wanted my decor/items unsecure and ready for anyone who comes onto the property to mess with or take. Shortly before the wedding, we had a final consultation with the owner to go over day-of details. She took notes on which of their tables we needed where, where other items were needed, what linens to order, etc. I also provided an exact seating chart layout for the barn (reception site) so that their staff could set up tables/chairs accordingly. Fast forward to wedding day, and there aren't enough chairs set up in the barn for our guests, the correct tables weren't at the ceremony site, and we had the wrong linens. Owner claimed I had sent her the wrong numbers, but I made sure to triple-check what I sent her, and it was 100% correct. The morning of our wedding, the owner was giving tour(s) of the property to prospective customers while everyone was running around setting things up. It felt kind of inappropriate for tours to be happening on someone's wedding day. This furthers my point about feeling like just a transaction. We were told there would be staff present to direct guests when they arrived on where to park and where to go for the ceremony (which is imperative, as it's a very large property with multiple sites). But several guests got lost on the property, walking around trying to figure out where to go. Our two golf cart drivers (for shuttling guests to the ceremony site) were told by the owner to drop guests off at the wrong location, because \"we are running behind\ Reviewed on 06-11-2023

We got married 9/9/23 at Canyon Run Ranch. The weather was perfect and we got so many compliments on how beautiful and unique the venue was! Amy and Gary's property is unlike any other. Our guests loved riding the golf carts to and from the ceremony site to the barn where the reception was. They were able to enjoy the wildflowers and beautiful scenery along the way. We decided to go with Amy's recommended DJ, Bar, Floral/Decor and wedding coordination services which made it super easy to plan our day. They all know the property very well, have lots of experience, and work great together! Sarah, our coordinator, was the best!!! She kept everything organized and on time. She reached out to all of our vendors to ensure they knew where to go and what time to be there. We did not have a rehearsal so she told people when to walk/how to walk/and where to stand during the ceremony. She organized the entire day and made sure it all went smoothly. Hiring Sarah is a must!! Overall, we had a great time and our guests did too! Reviewed on 17-09-2023

From the first tour of the grounds right up to the end of the reception, Amy and Gary were present and ready to lend a helping hand. It began to rain an hour before my ceremony was supposed to begin and when it seemed like all hope of having the ceremony outside was lost, they took me up to the venue and left the choice up to me. Rain cleared up and we had the most beautiful outdoor wedding. There were even rainbows, which just added to the natural awe of the venue itself.

Jessica Banes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-08-2021 We are nature people so we knew we wanted a summer outdoor wedding in the woods. We toured Mohican, loved it, and then found Canyon Run Ranch and thought we should check it out \"just in case.\" It blew us away and felt much more us than the other venue. There is a beautiful energy in the forest ceremony site and the barn is gorgeous. Our guests loved this venue. Our theme was organic woodland with greenery and white flowers and dusty blue and gold accents. I wanted to feel like a forest goddess and I did :) As an animal lover, one of my favorite parts of the day was hanging out and taking pictures with Lightening, one of the stunning (15 hands high) resident horses. The pictures from this venue will be unreal. Everything was breathtaking and I would do it all again. The only downside was that we lost a lot of money in 2020 when we had to reschedule with this venue due to COVID-19, and that was a major stressor for us but we did not want to risk anyone getting sick. All of our other vendors rescheduled with no charge. Without this unforeseen issue, this was the perfect venue. I would, and have, recommended this venue to others and would love to go back someday. Thanks, Amy and Gary! Reviewed on 30-08-2021

And although I didn't meet Gary (Amy's husband), he was instrumental in helping everything run smoothly - I'm sure! I was also told that he was very helpful at the end of the night when one of my bridesmaids locked her keys in her trunk :) FYI: We also took our winter engagement pictures at Canyon Run and the property all covered in snow was equally as beautiful - something to keep in mind if you end up booking with them.

I'm actually on the opposite end of how I interact with the kind folks at Canyon Run Ranch. I'm often behind the scenes because, rather than a blushing bride, I'm a florist. I partner with couples to design and style fresh flowers for their wedding days at Canyon Run Ranch. In my many weddings at Canyon Run, I've always felt that the owners of venue and I are seeing eye-to-eye on creating a remarkable day for the couples. They are always in step with going above and beyond. Every wedding day is different, every couple is different, but Canyon Run Ranch is consistently the same is terms of quality, hospitality, and breath taking beauty. Reviewed on 21-10-2019

Canyon Run Ranch is a beautiful and magical wedding and event venue north of Dayton, OH outside of a darling town called Pleasant Hill. Viva la Strings has performed the music for MANY wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. We truly enjoy the venue with the beautiful woods and rustic barn, however, that would mean nothing if it were not for the owners who take care of every detail for their clients as well as the vendors. Even one cold Oct. (almost too cold for our violin, viola and cello to be safe for our instruments and our comfort to play) Amy and her staff pulled out a massive gas heater and brought it to the woods for us to play under to keep warm. We highly recommend Canyon Run Ranch for the rustic and romantic wedding or event! Viva la Strings returns often and it's one of our fav wedding gigs! Reviewed on 10-10-2019

There are many beautiful places for photographs. The barn is a 19th century historic structure, beautifully lit on the main level and the lower level. The owners have arranged the parking and facilities to accommodate those who need extra assistance, including having off road vehicles to transport people to the wooded ceremony site. The property's natural beauty is varied, with hills, meadows, wooded areas, gorges, and a stream.

Aesthetic - the structures and land at Canyon Run Ranch are absolutely beautiful in every season. If you don't want to spend a ton of money on decorating, this is a great option for you. Also, don't be worried about it feeling too \"country\" if that's not what you're going for.Owners - Amy was so helpful on the day of the wedding as well as being responsive to emails in the months leading up to the wedding. I really wanted to hang cascading paper flowers and she took my vision a step further by artistically hanging the strands I had made from a branch. She also took it upon herself to put flowers on the arch when we noticed to florist had not.Considerations - It's great that they provide golf carts for guests to use as it would have been very difficult for our grandparents to get around. Do keep this in mind as there is a stretch in the woods to the ceremony site that the golf carts don't go.

It has so much character and charm that we fell in love immediately. The owner, Amy, is so easy to work with and I could always count on her to get back with me in a timely manner with whatever questions that I had. The ceremony was beautiful!!! It’s tucked away in the woods and just so dreamy and peaceful. The reception was held in their amazing historic barn with cocktail hour being held right underneath it. We got so many compliments on our venue from our guests, the night was just perfect. Having the golf carts available to transport guests to and from the ceremony cite was so helpful. The ONLY thing that I would change about the venue would be the bridal suite. We were only able to get into it 2 1/2 hours before the ceremony began, which made it stressful to get to the venue at 9am to start decorating, back to the hotel for hair/makeup for the bridal party, then back again to the venue to begin pictures. It would’ve been nice to relax in one spot the entire day without having to do a lot of driving. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect!

I was worried that planning a wedding 2 hours away would be stressful, but they were always an email or phone call away for whatever we needed. We truly cannot thank you Canyon Run enough for allowing us to have our dream wedding. Reviewed on 06-12-2017
Alyse Fitzpatrick(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2017 Our wedding at Canyon Run was out of a magazine. Amy and Gary really are so easy to work with and their property is drop dead gorgeous- our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. From mimosas at the house to driving us to a field of wildflowers to pictures, I could tell that they really wanted us to have a great experience and I really appreciated that. However, we did have some seriously major issues with their required bartending company (a family member) and I really think that requiring their couples to use this company really puts a damper on what could be a truly magical experience. Hopefully they will change this in the future. Reviewed on 21-11-2017
Nina Weiss(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2017 Canyon Run Ranch was magical!! Our ceremony was held in the woods and we were married under this whimsical curly willow arch. Our reception was held inside a beautiful barn made in the 1800's with twinkle lights! All of the wedding guests were in awe of the venue and we kept getting complimented on choosing this! The venue made it perfect for our wedding theme which was an enchanted, fairytale wedding. Amy and Gary are awesome people. They take great pride and care of their property. The bartenders they provide are awesome too! They genuinely care about all the wedding guests! The venue is perfect. I cannot express how grateful I am for choosing Canyon Run Ranch. Thank you for making our dreams come true, Amy!! Reviewed on 22-10-2017
Alissa Schafer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2017 This was a breath taking venue.. and we knew it as soon as you turn down the drive way. From the gorgeous bridge you cross to their large stone house to the unique barn and magical Ceremony site in the woods.. it just seems you're entering into a dream. Couldn't be more thankful that they opened up their property for others to make such valuable memories at. Amy and her husband were very helpful and accommodating. My wedding planning brought a horribly wrinkled aisle runner and Amy knew that was unacceptable and put her own out there and stapled it down to stay nice. That meant so much and she didn't have to do that. We couldn't be happier, and feel so grateful! Thanks again Canyon Run!! Reviewed on 19-10-2017
Erika Tolson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-07-2017 Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect location for our rustic barn wedding.

Olivia Auvil(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2017 We had our wedding reception here just a couple weeks ago & I have nothing but amazing things to say about the venue/staff. Amy was so helpful with any & all of my questions throughout the whole year of planning the wedding. She was quick to respond and always had an answer. The venue itself, there are no words to describe it. Exactly what I envisioned my wedding day to be like. The warm lights hanging all over the barn give it such and intimate feel. I have received nothing but amazing comments from all our guests who attended. A true fairytale place to be married & hold your reception! Reviewed on 21-06-2017
Kayla Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2017 Canyon Run is a dream location for a rustic wedding. Canyon Run has a beautiful woods ceremony location that is so serene. Amy is great to work with, so accommodating and really has an eye for making the place look spectacular. We had grandparents that needed assistance getting back in the woods and Amy was more than willing to assist however we needed. This venue was the perfect location for us, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a barn location with a rustic feel. It looks like a venue right out of Pinterest according to our groomsmen Reviewed on 10-06-2017
Sara Cummings(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-04-2017 I first started looking at Venues a year and a few months before my wedding date. I knew I wanted a rustic wedding and so I started searching for barn weddings. All of the venues I first looked at were booked on the day I wanted, so instead of moving my wedding day, I searched for more venues. Finally, one day, my matron-of-honor and I stumbled across Canyon Run Ranch and never looked back. I went and met with Amy within two weeks of discovering the venue and booked right away. I went on a dreary, late winter day and I just trusted the property would be beautiful. Throughout the year, Amy was very responsive to my e-mails and answered all of my questions within a day, but usually within hours. The venue is just absolutely stunning and provides so many different options for photographs. We were not able to use the ceremony location in the woods because it rained for a day straight prior to our wedding, but we set up in the barn and it was just stunning. All of my guests were blown away and we loved the fire pit that night. Such a great touch. The ONE AND ONLY negative thing I have to say is that they do not have many buffet style tables and I had to bring some of my own 6\" tables for the caterer to use. It really was not that big of a deal. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend booking Canyon Run Ranch. You will not regret it! Not to mention, Amy and her husband offer their house for use for the bride and her girls to get dressed in. I did not notice Amy and her family but my husband said they were very helpful the day of the wedding. Anyway, BOOK CANYON RUN RANCH. Stunning is the only word I can think to describe it.

Sherry crockett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2016 Canyon Run Ranch couldn't have been a more perfect venue for our woodland themed wedding, from the secluded wooded ceremony to the rustic barn reception. The family owned venue makes you feel right at home and the owners and staff are a delight to work with. Amy is very responsive and accommodated us in several visits to finalize details. If you are looking for a unique wedding experience then this venue is for you and your guest will fall in love. Did I mention how fantastic our wedding photos turned out!?!?! Reviewed on 22-12-2016

Ellie Malchow(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2016 This might be the best wedding venue I've ever seen. We had our ceremony up in a clearing in the woods which was perfect for us as avid hikers and backpackers! There were infinite opportunities for amazing photos throughout the venue (in the woods, in the clearing with wildflowers, near the creek behind the barn, in the room where I got ready in the main house, outside the barn... you name it they had it!). Amy (the owner) was amazing not only on the day of the wedding, but also the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. Any questions we had, she answered them. She was also great about suggesting other vendors that just added to our day's perfection. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Reviewed on 16-10-2016
Tracey Baker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-09-2016 We could not have found a more beautiful place to get married. From the first time we met Amy, we found her extremely easy to work with and she treated us like family. All of guests were in awe of how unique the ranch is. We received countless comments from our guests saying that it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Not only is Amy a pleasure to work with, but the bartending service was also top notch. They made sure all of our guests were pleased and that we didn't have to worry about anything at our reception. We spent countless hours on The Knot looking for a wedding venue.

Dana Armington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2016 Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect venue for our day. The owners made everything a breeze and the day went as smoothly as possible. I didn't have to think about a thing. Not only is there a gorgeous barn, but there are multiple ceremony sites, we opted for the woods. Additionally, the owners were kind enough to welcome us into their home to get ready in a bridal suite. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Reviewed on 07-09-2016
Carly Witmer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2017 Canyon Run Ranch is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I are both from large families, and multiple family weddings occur each year. We wanted to do something unique to make ours stand out, and Canyon Run Ranch offered a venue that did just that! We loved the relaxed, natural feel of the barn and woods, and our families were able to get a real feel of the Midwest (many New Yorkers were in attendance). It's so secluded and rustic that we all relaxed in the uninterrupted songs of the resident birds and forgot the world for those hours. Thank you Canyon Run Ranch!!! Reviewed on 22-08-2016
Lindsey Collins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2017 We got married here in 2013 and had such a perfect day. We were so grateful to Amy and Gary and their team for taking care of our families and all the last-minute details to make everything run smoothly. They are great people - friendly, organized, and with GREAT TASTE!The details throughout the barn and the gorgeous bathroom house (I never thought I'd fall in love with a bathroom until I saw these ones!) are impeccable and make this place truly one-of-a-kind. Everything is hand-picked from antique stores, built by local artisans (the arch in the woods!) or re-purposed from the original structure. It's straight out of the Pintrest board of your rustic wedding dreams. This is a truly unique venue. Our guests are still talking about how \"magical\" and \"special\" it was years later! We're so glad we made the decision to get married at Canyon Run. Thanks, Amy! Reviewed on 22-08-2016
Anonymous (wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2017 We attended a wedding and had a great experience! The site is beautiful - it is very rustic, yet classy and elegant - the grounds were beautiful in mid-late May. The site for the wedding was a short hike through the woods, but a perfect setting under a canopy of maple trees. The barn is set up very nicely - the Milk Parlor was great for pre-reception and the main barn above for the reception was great. Perfect atmosphere and great character. Beautiful place for a wedding! Reviewed on 04-06-2016
Beth Sellen(wedding party)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-05-2008 We attended a wedding there in late May. It was lovely! The building was beautiful. Due to the weather the ceremony needed to be moved inside but it flowed beautifully. Warm, romantic and cozy! Reviewed on 09-05-2016
Jill McDonald(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2015 We had a great experience at Canyon Run Ranch. The location is private and is perfect for a DIY bride. It is a private property, and the owners open their space for events. We chose to have our ceremony in a garden area near the main house rather than the woods. This proved ideal for us and our guests rather than the woods, which is a bit of a hike from the main house. We found the owner, Amy, to be prompt and responsive to communications. We were able to use all of our own vendors except the bartenders, which must be used through the venue. We were married on a very warm day and found the barn to be rather warm. Canyon Run has \"portable\" AC units available to rent, which we did, however, we found the barn to still be quite warm once the people and food were in the barn. Luckily, the barn cooled off significantly once the sun went down. There are several \"add ons\" available such as the large drapes for the barn, a golf cart for photos, access to a bridal suite shortly before the wedding, portable bathroom unit (highly recommend!!!), and bonfire area near the reception barn. Overall, it proved to be a perfect setting for our wedding. Reviewed on 23-09-2015
Emily Riley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2015 After searching for months for a venue that we felt would completely encompass our dream wedding, we found this golden nugget!!! Canyon Run Ranch is such a beautiful place. It provided venues for a ceremony AND reception, which is a rare and valuable thing while planning a wedding! It offers a romantic, rustic, secluded place for you and yours to say I do. Amy Ward has done such an amazing job bringing this place to life and she is such a pleasant person to work with. We think back on our wedding day and literally cannot think of one thing we would have changed and Canyon Run is big part of that. It is a very rustic venue, no consumable running water, bathrooms are port-a-johns, and the ceremony is outdoors with no electricity hookups. Some people may look at those things as negative qualities, but it literally made no difference in the success of our special day. Our guests were comfortable and had nothing but great things to say about the barn and the woods. I would say that the quality of this venue far exceeds the price you pay for it. And working with a jewel like Amy, only makes it that much more appealing. I HIGHLY recommend Canyon Run Ranch for a bride to be looking for a rustic venue at an affordable rate!

Jessica Watters(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-05-2015 This venue made my fairytale wedding come true. I love being out in nature so the ceremony in the woods was absolutely PERFECT! They provide hay bales with cloth over them (for an additional cost) to continue the barn/country/rustic vibe. They really let you do a lot that venues in larger cities (I'm from Columbus) won't allow. We bought and brought all of our own alcohol- and had an experienced bartender of our choice bartend. The catering was also perfect and was a great price as well. The whole vibe of the venue and ceremony site is truly magical, I wish I could do my special day all over again! Check out the pictures on their site and you'll know what I'm saying. It was perfect Reviewed on 05-06-2015
