About this vendor
Located in Wooster, OH, F.H.J. Events is a wedding venue. This historic barn sits on 135 acres of picturesque pastoral land. A working farm, it has remained in the same family for eight generations. You are even likely to see cows and calves wandering the grounds, adding a further note of rural life to the venue. They welcome you and your loved pets on your special day and offer a romantic pond for a waterfront ceremony. Their space is also open to elopements.
This land was originally bought by the Firestone Family in 1831, with construction on the barn starting in the mid-19th century. Current owners Ted and Anita first thought of the idea to open F.H.J. Events in 2017. One of their sons expressed interest in getting married on the family farm, starting with a ceremony beside the pond. After this, he wanted a reception in the barn where he could spend the day with his nearest and dearest.
With space for celebrations of 175 guests, F.H.J. Events offers a rustic, historic setting for your magical day. They want any visitors to delight in the classic simplicity of their venue and rediscover the beauty of the natural world. The barn, with white exteriors and soaring ceilings, sits right beside the lake. The tranquil waters offer a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos. A romantic arbor can be set up on the waterfront, with bales of hay acting as seats for your guests. From the pond, a reception in the barn is just a short walk away. Rustic wooden walls and floors set the scene for an unforgettable night of celebrating your love. Twinkling market lighting strung across the ceiling offers romantic illumination when natural light starts to fade. A private get-ready room is available for your use before the day starts, allowing you some time to prepare in private.

Honestly 5 stars isn't even enough. They are beyond friendly, beyond helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our day went off smoothly. If I could give them more stars I would.
Our wedding was perfect and the venue was gorgeous!! I couldn’t be more thankful for the Hershey’s for allowing our family to be joined at their farm!!
FHJ events was the perfect spot for our wedding, it gave us the simplistic, beautiful country feel we were wanting without the astronomical price. They have a beautiful pond that we had our ceremony in front of and another small pond in the back of the farm that we took some beautiful veil pictures at. We had about 150 guests and were able to spread everyone out comfortably and leave room for a dance area. The food was able to be separated so that people could come and go as they pleased to eat as well as easy access for the caterer to replenish food. Anita was very friendly and helpful in making arrangements for tours, she worked with us, our caterer, and our florist for set up, and what's not to love about getting a whole weekend for your wedding?? My only minor critique would be to somehow add another window or fans in the back of the barn to create a cross breeze and circulation as it was a bit toasty the farther away from the doors you got, however, they did have fans and big open doors in the front that did help.
