Historic Ashland is the perfect wedding venue that’s truly beautiful throughout! From the first time we met with Leah, she went above and beyond to help us have the perfect wedding day. Leah and Kirsten happily answered all of our questions and...
worked so hard to make sure eveything was perfect. They gave recommendations on vendors, planned our timeline, decorated the space for us, and even made sure a tree that feel down the night before our wedding was cleared in time for us to get amazing photos! They far exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy our day with our family and friends without any stress because we knew we could trust them to make sure it came together beautifully.

er and it definitely shows. The owner Leah and our day of coordinator Amanda truly were amazing. They both went above and beyond to make everything perfect. There customer service is a huge reason why we chose Historic Ashland for our big day. They take so much pride in the venue and the HA brand that they hold everything to such a high standard and make sure that it’s perfect. They don’t let the couple lift a finger and they literally handle EVERYTHING on your big day, even the small details you don’t think about. Which for us was a huge relief. It allowed us to truly sit back and enjoy the day. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team, look no further, Historic Ashland should be your first pick.

Throughout the planning process, Leah and Kirsten had thought of everything we could need. They went the extra length to take away any wedding day stress so we could focus on celebrating. Kirsten put up our decor, made sure our ceremony ran smoothly, repurposed florals from the ceremony, made sure my husband and I had drinks... she did everything to make sure our day ran smoothly and we were taken care of. They are amazing!

My Husband and I got married at Historic Ashland on 4/16/23. I can not recommend this venue enough! This venue was a top contender right from the very start. They had several different packages that appealed to us as we were not sure how big ...
of a wedding we were going to have initially. Right off the bat they were quick to follow-up with our inquiry and answer any questions that we had. Once you see this venue in person you realize how incredible and versatile it is and left no room for doubt. For the staff: Leah is extremely attentive and personable to work with. You can tell that this venue is her baby and invests all the love and care that is evident through out the entire grounds and all the details. She is an incredible resource and I would also recommend reaching out early after you have booked this venue as she has great insights on the different vendors you can use to stay within your budget. It is one area I wish I utilized earlier on in the process. Amanda was our Day of Coordinator and was incredible from preplanning, rehearsal and day of the wedding. She had everything and anything on hand that you would need. I have no idea if anything didn't go according to plan because she handled things effortlessly and from our perspective it was the perfect day with no hiccups. We actually were ahead of schedule all day which made for a very relaxed bride, groom and wedding party. We never felt rushed which I think really helped us soak in the whole day to its fullest. Additionally, Leah and Amanda invited us to their private facebook group for couples getting married that which is a valuable resource on your own. They post updates regularly in there and you are able to connect and ask questions of other brides and grooms who are getting married or were married at HA. For the venue: The mansion to get ready was amazing; very spacious, filled with light, convenient for our hair and make-up vendors and was a beautiful back drop for photos. The cottage which my husband and his groomsman/family used to get ready was the perfect size. They played darts, had a couple of pre-ceremony drinks and relaxed comfortably. There are so many ceremony sites and back-up options to cater to your wedding vision. We had our April/Spring ceremony outdoors under the trees and pergola, had cocktail hour outside on the patio and lower lodge and then the reception upstairs in the lodge. Each location had their own feel and vibe that flowed effortlessly. It also was so convenient to have all 3 events in the same location. Leah, Amanda and the whole Historic Ashland Staff really make you feel like family throughout the entire process and after. Following the day, I forgot my customized hanger that Leah so kindly found and mailed back along with a small gift that my husband and I both cherish and wear. You can not go wrong with Historic Ashland and if you choose them you will be forever grateful and happy that you did. Thank you!!

really made us feel like she would make sure we had an incredible day. Throughout the wedding planning process, Leah and her team were always available to answer questions in a reasonable amount of time. The couples only Facebook group was really beneficial for connecting with other couples, asking questions, and getting ideas. Leah and Amanda were so helpful with checking in throughout the planning process and reminding us of important dates. They have an incredible list of vendor recommendations which is where we found most of our vendors who were all also amazing. We felt so at ease and ready to go by the time of our final walkthrough in October 2022. Our wedding day was truly flawless. Leah and Amanda made sure things were set up how we wanted and that everything was running smoothly and on time. They helped communicate with vendors throughout the day to ensure everyone knew where they needed to be. The venue itself is absolute perfection. We knew we wanted a location where there was a groom getting ready space, bride getting ready space, beautiful indoor ceremony option, and a reception area that was different from the ceremony area. Historic Ashland has all of that! We loved the two separate getting ready houses along with the separate lodge with spaces for the ceremony and reception. Our guests were so surprised when they walked up the stairs to the reception on the second level. While we chose to have our ceremony indoors in front of the downstairs fireplace, there are several outdoor options as well. We were so lucky that we had a 70 degree sunny November day and were able to utilize the outdoor patio space for our cocktail hour. The amount of locations around the property for taking photos is phenomenal as well. It was an incredible day that I would do it a thousand times over! If you are in search of a venue, contact Historic Ashland right now!

We had our wedding day at Historic Ashland and absolutely loved it. Leah and Amanda made sure the day of went perfectly but we’re also there for every question we had along the way. You can tell Leah truly cares about the couples having the day...
they want. We got ready in the bridal suite in site. We had 7 people and 4 vendors at once in the suite. So it’s big! There was so much space! The groom’s suite was also nice for the guys to be tucked into. They were able to get ready and not run the risk of seeing us. One of our guests mentioned her son got married there in the summer 2021 and we got married in January 2023. She said that it looked like two completely different venues. The versatility of this venue is amazing. With the three spaces to choose from for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, you can really use this venue to build your wedding dream. Things ran so smoothly with the day of coordinator, Amanda, directing everyone and making sure that we were left to just enjoy the day. I seriously cannot appreciate the HA team enough for helping us have a perfect day! I couldn’t recommend a better venue!!

When we had our final walk through with Leah and Amanda, I had questions that they immediately had the guidance for and put all of my worries to rest. Amanda did amazing work the day of the wedding! She ran the day so smoothly from our arrival to the end of the night and I had no worry at all!

I will never forget… I forgot all of my sparklers for our sparkler exit (150 to be exact) & I just thought okay… we won’t be able to do that & went about the rest of the wedding. Little did I know that Leah gathered up all the extra sparklers she’s accumulated from other weddings & came up to me while I was dancing trying to forget about it and said “I think we can pull this off & have enough to still do the exit… do you want to use these?” I could’ve cried! It just goes to show that they really will try to go above & beyond for you to have the wedding you imagine! Their expectations are super up front with you from the beginning so you do not have to worry about anything coming up along the way. Amanda was an amazing coordinator & I can’t thank her enough for all she did! Love these ladies & this wedding venue. This place will always be so so special to me and my husband.

our families found this hidden gem of a wedding venue and quickly scheduled a site tour and within a few days, booked it for our wedding day in May of 2022. We were immediately welcomed with excitement, joy, and transparency by Leah and her team which was such a breath of fresh air & stress-relieving experience that allowed us to both slow down and actually enjoy our marriage & wedding planning process. From the moment we booked to even now, Leah and her team have treated us with such kindness and have consistently made us feel like we were not just another client. They are advocates and supporters for their couples which is truly special! As an indecisive bride, Leah and her team helped me think through and gave me professional insight into every part of the wedding including vendors, timeline, decor, etc. They handled everything from communicating with all of our vendors, creating the timeline & layout of the day, assisting with the rehearsal, helping the day run smoothly, setting up and cleaning up wedding decor, and beyond. They hold open houses for the couples, run a Facebook page for Historic Ashland couples, are prompt to answer emails, provided various signage decor and other rental options for couples, hold a final planning meeting, and so much more. In addition to all of this, there was a lot during my wedding day that happened behind the scenes that I didn't even know about & that was handled by them in communication with my Maid of Honor and family rather than me. They were not afraid to be an advocate and speak up for me when our photographer & videographer were stressing me out on the morning of our wedding. All of our family and friends were blown away by the beauty of the wedding venue, but were even more impressed by the welcoming and accommodating employees of the venue. As far as the venue goes, it is worth every dollar that you spend and they are constantly making improvements (even though the venue is already amazing)! With a mansion & cottage for the couple and their wedding parties to get ready in and relax, multiple indoor/outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour/reception venues, planning portals, and beyond, it is a venue that can match various couples wedding styles & visions. We are so grateful that we were able to get married at Historic Ashland and would recommend it to anyone and everyone we know! There is certainly a reason that they have won "Best Wedding Venue" multiple times! Do not hesitate to visit and book Historic Ashland for your wedding as they are exceptional at what they do, plus the story behind the creation of Historic Ashland (a women-owned business) is freaking awesome and inspiring!

Historic Ashland was the best wedding venue Matthew and I ever could have chosen! ❤️ When we were taking tours, we were looking for something timeless, classic, and unique with a view. :) The land was something that was important to my husband ...
when choosing a venue, and HA does NOT disappoint when it comes to views! Their property is private and beautiful - overlooking a gorgeous field of green that makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. The mature greenery and private land was a huge deal for both of us that really set HA apart from other venues! Not only is the outside of the venue gorgeous, but the mansion, lodge, and cottage are each BEAUTIFULLY restored and provided amazing photo opportunities for our first look and entire wedding day! The inside of each building is modern and sleek, but the original character and timeless touches were kept in tact when restoring them! Getting ready in the mansion was such a fun experience for me and my bridesmaids, and we loved how much space we had to do hair and makeup! We also loved the indoor ceremony options HA offered, as our wedding in June was extremely hot (like 96 degrees and full sun) and we did not want to be sweating through the ceremony!! The lodge was the perfect indoor ceremony space - fully air conditioned, comfortable for our guests, and beautiful against the fireplace! We couldn’t have been happier. Historic Ashland was the first venue we toured, and the perfect mix of Matthew and I. :) After touring several other venues that week, it was such an easy decision that HA was the one for us! Leah & Amanda made booking our wedding day simple too! They are organized and professional, and they made us feel like we were in good hands throughout the whole planning process! Meeting with them for a final timeline and seating chart overview helped ease my nerves about all the vendors being on the same page. They took the reigns to ensure everyone worked together to make our day run smoothly!! Leah, Amanda, & their team are the sweetest and were so much fun to work with. They made our day so special and we are grateful we chose HA. We still have friends and family tell us how beautiful our venue was. We will cherish our wedding day memories there forever ❤️ Thank you Leah, Amanda, & Team 🥰

seeing it in person (only via FaceTime), but when we saw it for the first time in person it was exactly as the pictures show. Leah was SO accommodating each time I was in state and asked to come by and see the venue and even allowed us to come the week of our wedding to practice our first dance. Leah was always extremely quick at getting back to us and we could ask her a million questions and she'd never seem annoyed by them. The day of our wedding Leah came to me and asked me to look at something from a vendor she was afraid I wouldn't be happy with and took it upon herself to "fix it". She also helped coordinate with our other vendors and never hesitated or put it on us if it was something she could take care of for us. Our caterer had recently had some issues at another wedding and Leah was very open and upfront with us about it. Not only is Ashland gorgeous, but you will get A+++ service. We still have guests telling us how beautiful our wedding was!

The barn is absolutely beautiful offers plenty of room for dancing, tables and vendors. The mansion is STUNNING. It was so nice to have an area that the girls were able to get ready in at the venue while also having a separate area for the guys.

my husband being a UPS driver, the option to reschedule for later in the year was next to impossible and we didn’t want to wait until 2021. We decided to reach out to local venues and see what they could offer us for an intimate elopement as neither of us really wanted a big wedding anyway. From the first time I viewed Historic Ashland’s website, I was hooked. The venue is absolutely beautiful! Leah is just as wonderful, she checked in on us weekly to see how everything was going and kept us up to date on the governs COVID19 rules which truly kept us at ease. My husband and I decided we wanted our elopement to feel as real as possible, including a bride and groom suite to get ready in, a first dance, cake cutting and champagne toast. And... you guessed it, Leah made that happen! She did everything she could to make our wedding dreams come true. Now here we are, two months later and couldn't be happier with the way our wedding turned out. Everything about our big day was perfect and everything I dreamed of as a little girl. Even after our wedding, Leah has kept in touch. She has become more than our wedding venue’s owner, she has become a friend. We look forward to hosting future events at Historic Ashland and getting the pleasure to work with Leah again. We cannot recommend Leah and her venue enough! If we had to plan our wedding all over again, We’d still pick Historic Ashland.

g. After a few sleepless nights, searching and trying to figure out what we were going to do, we stumbled upon Historic Ashland. My sister (MOH) made the first call and spoke with Leah. She immediately called me and said “Kelly- you are going to love it here. Leah is so awesome and is going to help you pull this off without people even knowing you’re doing this all in a matter of days.” Boy was she right! I got to meet Leah & Amanda the following week (2weeks out from wedding day) and they were so warm and inviting. I knew from the moment I met them that this was all meant to happen. Amanda, the day-of-coordinator through HA was the SWEETEST! She ensured everything was sorted out ahead of time and that everyone was on the same page leading up to and including the day of. Both Leah & Amanda were always available whenever I had a question/comment/concern. Now for the actual venue space. HOLY. SMOKES. Historic Ashland is absolutely beautiful! There is very minimal decor that the bride & groom have to bring because the space is so beautiful on its own. We had our ceremony indoors on the first floor and it was so romantic and intimate. That space then become cocktail hour which flowed very smoothly thanks to the HA Team! The reception space upstairs was great because we could do what we wanted with the space. We decided on a head table in the middle amongst the guest tables which really made my husband and I feel like we were including everyone in our day as opposed to just sitting by ourselves away from everyone. The dance floor was HUGE which was great for our dancing crowd ;) The loft area overlooking the reception space was also a nice size area. We chose to use it for a “Kids Zone” where the little ones could run around, sit and draw, or just be in their own space supervised by babysitters that we hired so that the parents could be downstairs enjoying the evening with the adults. All in all, Historic Ashland really solidified my belief that “everything happens for a reason.” Thank you so much to Leah, Amanda, and the Historic Ashland family for sharing your venue with my husband, family, friends and I for an unforgettable night!

For the groomsmen, their lodge was also one of the most spacious and thought out options for men that we’ve toured as well. If you are considering HA, know that your day will be taken care of by the most accommodating, helpful staff- and my husband and I consider Leah as a friend after this whole process!

Leah, the GM of Historic Ashland. Before we even got to talking about venue/wedding details, she was asking us about our story and just about us, which was a huge hit! We loved that Leah was so interested and invested in us as a couple and not just another pair of people looking to use the space for the wedding. Once we began talking about our day, details and feels that we wanted, and we toured the venue, there were zero questions in our minds that we were going to use Historic Ashland as our venue. It is absolutely stunning!! Even though the venue hadn't hosted its first wedding until a few months later, we could envision ourselves and guests in the space. Leah had thought of EVERYTHING , even down to the door knobs and toilet paper holders (haha!). My husband and I fell in love with the idea that we could both be on the property to get ready but in totally separate spaces; the men in the original (restored) cottage to the property and the ladies in the updated mansion. As Leah has gotten into the swing of a full-time wedding venue, she has continued to build upon beautifying the space and by the time April came for our wedding, we were BLOWN AWAY with many additional features including lights draped throughout the beams in the reception hall and the addition of the patio/pergola outside for the cocktail hour (we were inside, upstairs in front of the grand fireplace for our wedding due to rain, but it wasn't an "option B", more like "option A inside" vs "option A outside"). My husband and I are also so thankful for Leah's dad, who not only directed parking traffic, but also helped move my grandmother from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception; she couldn't stop talking about how kind and thoughtful he was! Leah has literally thought (and continues to think) of everything you could possibly want in a venue! She knows what she wants to do, how she wants to do it or have it completed and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Leah was also wonderful with communication which my husband and I truly couldn't be more thankful for. You will not be disappointed with Leah at Historic Ashland!!

We also worked with Amanda of Elysian Event Company and Ashland’s coordinator- she was a dream and handled every little set up and tear down detail.
