Case Barlow Farm, located in the charming town of Hudson, OH, is a historic gem that offers a unique and picturesque setting for weddings. With its rich history, rustic elegance, and beautiful surroundings, it provides an ideal backdrop for a memorable wedding celebration.
Established in 1814, Case Barlow Farm is one of Hudson’s oldest and most treasured landmarks. The farm was initially a working farm and homestead for the Case family, who were among the early settlers in the area. The property has been meticulously preserved and restored to maintain its historical integrity.
The centerpiece of the venue is the historic barn, which dates back to the 1830s. This iconic structure features traditional timber-frame construction. The high vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams create a warm and inviting atmosphere as natural light filters through the barn’s large windows. The opened barn doors let in fresh air and allow guests to enjoy the scenic views and the outdoor firepit area for evening gatherings; the open fields are perfect for lawn games and other outdoor activities.
The five acres of Case Barlow Farm offer several beautiful outdoor ceremony sites as well as the option for an indoor ceremony within the barn. The farmhouse can become a cozy bridal suite for the bride and her party to prepare for the big day. Furnished with antique pieces and comfortable seating, the suite provides a private and relaxing space for final preparation. The groom and his party can get ready in a separate room, which is styled with rustic decor and offers plenty of space for getting dressed and relaxing before the ceremony.
Case Barlow Farm is a beloved community landmark, hosting various events throughout the year, including seasonal festivals and educational tours. Couples who choose to get married here become part of the farm’s rich history and community legacy.

This venue was absolutely amazing!!! It's the perfect elegant rustic feeling as this was a real dairy barn and farm that was converted into a beautiful modern barn with some histor...
y. You can also book the historic farmhouse to hang out and get ready in as well. We had the bridal parties share the farmhouse as there are two different rooms and we were able to not see each other before the ceremony. As for the ceremony we did this on property for no extra fee. The background of the ceremony area was stunning. There is a brick walkway that leads to a stone fireplace and area to stand and have the ceremony with the barn in the background. You can rent your own chairs or use the chairs that that barn has as they can go indoor or outdoor depending on how many chairs you need.
There are also sooo many great spots for wedding photos right on property! We had some different backdrops for bridesmaid pics, groomsman pics, father first looks and us! We never left the property all day which was so nice. The venue has a list of caterers that they have used but you can bring in your food, drinks, decor, vendors, etc. (just no open flames due to the wooden barn). You can really make this venue exactly what you want it to be! Additionally, we booked the set up, take down and day of coordinator, Lisa! I highly recommend all of this!! The team did an amazing job setting up our day and we didn't have to worry about cleaning up or packing up which was great! Lisa was fantastic and took care of all the details the day of!!! She is so experienced and knew exactly what to do and how to help make the day run SO smooth! She also helped with the planning, itinerary and layouts!! (Due to our DJ we had to change his location on the fly and Lisa took care of everything)! There is also an option to block the weekend so you can just drop off stuff the day before and pick up the day after, very convenient. We even used the barn the night before to host our rehearsal dinner! We just cleaned up the dinner after and then the team set up our wedding the next day (events should be set up the day of). I could go on and on about how much we and our guests loved this venue! There is a huge ceiling fan if it's a hot day and heat inside the barn if it is a cold day. The barn comes with beautiful lights inside and outside the barn! If the weather is nice, Lisa and team will set up the fire pit outside which was such a nice touch and a great dance break area (our guest enjoyed the inside and outside of the barn and the big door makes it so open)! The venue is also in a great location, with hotel options and downtown Hudson close. There is parking options on site for guests and things to keep your guests busy nearby. Booking this venue helps preserve the historical site! Highly recommend!!

We are so thrilled we chose Case-Barlow Farm for our wedding reception! The venue is absolutely beautiful and Lisa made sure things came together perfectly. I definitely recommend ...
adding Lisa as your day of coordinator, working with her really eliminated a lot of stress from the planning process and made it possible to enjoy the day. Our guests were also very complimentary of the venue.

Our wedding at Case Barlow Farm was truly a dream come true.
The moment we pulled up to the property, we were blown away by how stunning and peaceful everything was. The grounds we...
re beautifully maintained, the historic barn was full of charm and character, and the natural surroundings made for the most picturesque setting. Even though our wedding day was warm, there was a perfect breeze flowing through the barn and outdoor spaces, keeping everything comfortable and airy—it was like nature knew we were getting married!
What truly made our day so seamless, though, were the incredible people behind the scenes. Lisa, the day-of coordinator at Case Barlow Farm, was an absolute angel. From the planning process to the final moments of the night, she was kind, calm, and incredibly organized. She took care of every little detail, anticipated our needs before we even thought of them, and made sure the entire day ran smoothly. I genuinely don’t know how we would have pulled it off without her. She made me feel so supported and at ease, and I’m forever grateful for her help and dedication.
City Social was equally amazing! Their team worked hand-in-hand with Lisa and the rest of our vendors to make sure every transition throughout the day felt effortless. They were attentive, professional, and kept everything on schedule while making sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. Thanks to them, we were able to truly be present and soak in every second of our big day without worrying about a thing.
The barn itself was the perfect size for our 155 guests—there was plenty of space for everyone to dance the night away inside while also enjoying the fresh air and views outside. The combination of indoor and outdoor space gave our guests a relaxed, joyful atmosphere and made everything feel just right.
I also highly recommend booking the farmhouse for getting ready—it was such a special and convenient touch. My bridal party and I had the best time there getting ready in the morning, and it really added to the whole experience.
This venue is truly something special, and it now holds such a meaningful place in our hearts. If you’re looking for a beautiful, unique, and heartwarming location with a team that goes above and beyond—Case Barlow Farm is it.

We recently had our wedding at this venue and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Booking was super easy, and the pricing was very reasonable for both the venue itself...
and the add-ons we selected—setup and cleanup services, a bartender, and a day-of coordinator.
Our coordinator, Lisa, started working with us about a month before the big day to help create our day-of timeline. She was organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. A week before the wedding, she stepped in to assist with coordinating vendors, which took a huge load off our shoulders.
On the wedding day, Lisa went above and beyond. She made a last-minute call to move decorations indoors due to weather, and everything was perfectly in place before guests arrived. Later in the evening, she helped move decor to open up the dance floor, keeping everything flowing smoothly.
The entire experience was stress-free, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. We’re so glad we chose this venue and highly recommend both the space and their amazing team—especially Lisa!

ng turned out great. We love the barn aesthetic and did both our ceremony and reception inside the barn.Our theme was vintage love and the bones of the barn really set the stage for that.

The grounds of Case Barlow were beautiful. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. A big reason we booked with them was a woman named Jen who was our day of coordinator...
, but I don’t think she works there anymore. There was a separate house on the grounds for the girls to get ready in. It was very convenient, but it didn’t have AC. Jen got fans and an AC unit for us which was amazing but it was still pretty hot. The barn itself had a good air flow and tons of room for dancing. It was spacious we loved the indoor/outdoor feel.

eous. The staff were wonderful to work with. We communicated with Lisa for all our needs. Lisa was prompt, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, helpful and very understanding. We contracted the venue staff to complete our set-up and clean-up for the day of the wedding and they did an amazing job. As a bride, I was so nervous having someone else set-up my wedding but they did a phenomenal job.The set-up was exactly as I wanted it to be. I am so glad I took the step to contract them for set-up and clean-up because it took that off my plate as a bride. I could not be any happier with our experience at Case-Barlow Farm and with the staff. We had so many compliments on the venue from our guests. I would definitely recommend having an event at Case-Barlow Farm.
