Amelita Mirolo Barn

4 hours on another night. When I met with them originally they told me we would have access to do the rehearsal no problem and that was not the case. We were only able to do the rehearsal outside which we managed but it was very odd. Otherwise it is a great venue backing up to a park but if you are getting married there I would be prepared for the additional costs for the rehearsal time.

d serene and everyone loved it! We highly recommend it!

ng meetings, and up until the day of event- everything was perfect. communication was always quickly returned, everything was organized. the day of was great and truly everything I could have asked for. I highly recommend this venue to anyone!

nd!!

visiting during the reception. Couldn't have asked for better staff than Charlotte and her assistant, they were wonderfully patient and helped our special day go smoothly!

insider knowledge on the best local vendors and decor/setup strategies to make the best use of the space. When it came to our big day, Charlotte went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything I needed, and that our vendors were able to set up and tear down smoothly. Oh, and our guests raved about the barn itself!!! Great lighting, great amenities, and a perfect showcase for our laid-back afternoon wedding.

aff when booking the barn to after the reception as they helped clean everything up. The barn is such a beautiful location and perfect for those who would like to get married outside but have an indoor reception. One thing we wanted was to make sure our guests didn't travel after the ceremony, so all they had to do was walk inside! I highly recommend not going overboard with decorations because the barn itself is beautiful on the inside, and too many decorations would have masked the uniqueness of the facility. Anyway, the staff here literally went above and beyond our expectations. Special shout-out to Charlotte, who answered all of our questions at the planning meeting and did so much extra work to help us out on the wedding day. They even found extra decorations that complemented our theme (like a wooden platform for our cake). I literally did not have to worry about anything on my wedding day, and I felt stress-free thanks to the amazing staff at Amelita Mirolo Barn! I know my mom was raving about them as well! Highly recommended!!! :)

S open to answering questions! Charlotte, Jodi and Sarah were a total dream to work with and I HIGHLY recommend this location!!

s, the price is incredibly affordable. I would highly recommend the Amelita Mirolo Barn to anyone looking for an event space.

and made everything just as we wanted.

ing, helping me update the contract when we had changes and giving me good advice. We were lucky enough to have a UA sponsor so we got the city discount, and at an already affordable price! I chose this venue because it already had a lot of natural beauty and it was very relaxed, allowing me to design my dream wedding kind of from scratch. John helped us plan our layout for guests, buffets, etc. and on the day of the event he was a lifesaver. He went above and beyond his duty as a venue representative, and helped make sure everything went perfectly. I don't think it could've been pulled off without him. He also was a huge help during cleanup and helped to make sure we got out of the barn within our time frame. Thank you so much to everyone at Amelita who helped us out! You all truly made it a fantastic day.

the day went very smoothly. Charlotte helped create my perfect day, and couldn't have been more kind. There are plenty of beautiful picture areas, great parking, and if it's a nice day, a beautiful fountain with patios to enjoy. Beautiful venue!

-August. We decided to have it outside the morning of the wedding and they worked to accommodate the change. The initial planning was done with Jodie, who was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions/calls/emails. The rehearsal & wedding day we worked with John, who was also very friendly and helped us with set up, as well as suggestions on where to place stuff. Overall our experience with the venue was really good. It's a great location if you are looking for a rustic/barn feel but still want the luxuries of a full kitchen, air conditioning, and indoor restrooms. It's also really nice that they have an outdoor patio for the option of outdoor ceremony. The venue is smaller (holds 150 max I believe) but was perfect for the size wedding we were planning.

y you want. I worked with Jodi quite a bit, and she was great to work with- very friendly and responsive to e-mails and phone calls. The staff there on our wedding day did a great job as well. Also, this is probably one of the most affordable places in Columbus to have a reception (that is actually nice). Highly recommend the Barn if you're looking for an affordable reception site that you want to decorate your own way!

ery pretty. We would recommend this venue to anyone.

e reception. It has great outdoor and indoor space. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding venue.

comfortably in their location. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were very prompt with responding to my many questions and were a great help before and on the day of the wedding. One thing though, I will warn brides who want everything to be planned to hire a planner and someone to decorate the location because they do not do that. As for myself, I organized and planned our entire wedding and provided those who helped with decorating with a notebook of how everything should look. This place was a wonderful site, it gave us the barn feeling we were looking for while also maintaining a true building so it had lights, heat, air conditioning, and a kitchen. I highly suggest anyone that is wanting to do a Country Wedding to consider renting this place.

solutely stunning! We loved the rustic, yet sophisticated feel. The staff at the barn is incredibly responsive and made the planning process so easy! Michael, Jodi and team were absolutely a delight and thought of everything! Thank you to the entire team!

but they accidentally overbooked us. However, they were so kind and compensated us by allowing us to come in early and decorate without charge for our Friday wedding. Someone was there when my family got there to decorate and helped them immensely. We used the outdoor patio and were able to fit 180 guests and everyone could not get over how beautiful it was. Very simple and clean, and you can really personalize it any way you want!

nd we got many compliments on the location.

, too! Our only issue was that it was a HOT day, and it would have been nice to have some ceiling or floor fans on site to keep it cooler.

tandable in preserving the barn. john was very helpful and offered suggestions based on what worked well or not so well for other weddings while at the same time letting me still have the set up I was going for. as far as rules of the venue some can be a hassle but in the end everything worked out just fine for us. also UA residents can rent the barn at a lower price.

ern and rustic. The pond and park created beautiful back drops for pictures. The outdoor patios were great for people to gather and get some fresh air. Michael was our primary contact and did a great job in answering any questions we had, and meeting with us to go over every detail that was necessary. He even helped us fix some lights that burnt out the morning before the ceremony! John was on hand to complete the layout and he also worked the wedding. He was AMAZING!!! He quickly became apart of the family! From running to the gas station to get us drinks ( catering wasnt there yet!) to helping guests with seating, he was there for anything and everything we needed. I cannot say enough how happy we are with the attention we were given. Michael and John went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect! Thanks guys!

terior complemented the park setting. The addition of the fence and arbor around the large flagstone patio was great for us, as we held our ceremony out there! All in all, it was a great venue - BUT it was a bit more expensive than we anticipated. The rental fee is an hourly rate, which is convenient, but it adds up quickly because you have to reserve the building for both set-up & tear-down. There are also different prices based on whether or not you are an Upper Arlington resident. What you get for your money: use of the venue (including kitchen area) during your reserved time, your choice of round or rectangular tables with chairs (~175), and a wonderful site coordinator that will have the venue materials set up for you upon your arrival and work with your group and/or vendors for whatever they need. Ours was John - he was the most helpful person and made our day PERFECT!

ementary school, and we both liked the variations of settings that the area provided. As we both work in schools, we were excited to take fun wedding pictures at the school and timeless pictures in the old wooden barn. Michael at the parks department was so accommodating. We were very thankful to meet with the parks staff before the wedding to talk through the event. Everything felt personalized and special. Unfortunately, the barn's power was out the whole week before our wedding due to severe storms. The staff at the barn worked hard to get the power back on as quickly as possible. They even helped us set-up to have Columbus zoo animals come as a surprise for our guests!

ur planning and was a pleasure to work with! This location is gorgeous for a wedding and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a casual, park wedding!

e contracts you have to sign but everything worked out in the end. Make sure you read everything before you book this venue and make sure the rules won't change 3 weeks before your event. Overall it was a lovely place and perfect for weddings.

ance floor, buffet line, etc. But we made it work. The exterior is surrounded by a park and fountains. Very fun!
