The Old Blue Rooster really exceeded our expectations in every way! It's a beautiful venue and was an amazing experience all around. They were super easy to work with from day 1.
The price was very reasonable and they offer a lot of different options to fit your budget.

From the moment I contacted Lorraine at The Old Blue Rooster, she was very prompt every time and answered all my questions. She was able to work and accommodate around my schedule to be able for my husband and I to come and tour the venue. From the moment we pulled up we knew this was where we were going to get married. It is absolutely stunning. I really wanted a rustic yet industrial modern feel and the venue really hit on those for me. The added grooms suite and very spacious bridal suite was an extra bonus on top on that, and made the getting ready part so much fun with plenty of space. To plan with Lorraine during the months leading up to our wedding was wonderful. She really makes things so effortless and easy and again was so accommodating to our schedules, she was always there to answer any questions I had as well. The staff on our wedding day was incredible, Lisa was the most kind and sweet woman when my day was not going to plan, ( yay, rain), she really stepped up to make sure I was doing okay, to see if I needed anything and helped tremendously with answering questions and helping me with ideas to move our ceremony inside. She reassured me my ideas would go off with out any issues and she even offered to help if we needed it. She was truly my little saving grace when I felt like my whole world was falling apart. The wedding looked so beautiful when it all came together, the barn is truly a magical space that I will always cherish in my memories. The rainy day made it even more beautiful by providing such moody lighting and atmosphere inside and out, exactly what I was going for. Any way you look at it The Old Blue Rooster is so beautiful and romantic and there are so many different ways you can make it your own for your big day. The team here is so AWESOME, thank you for providing such a wonderful experience and remarkable space for my husband and I to get married! Everyone is still telling us how beautiful it was, truly a special place!
P.S. The bartenders are awesome, kept the line moving and make amazing drinks and even added in some seasonal fall specialty drinks to the menu.

Had my wedding here in 2023. Lorraine is so hands on, present, and accommodating. One of the best priced venues in central Ohio by far and now has so many amazing new additions like the grooms suite the revamped Bridal suite and so much more. I would have a wedding here again 100x over

My husband and I actually got married here back in 2022 and I still rave about this venue! Especially after seeing all of the updates made to the property! We greatly appreciated all of the help from the staff leading up to the wedding day and on the day of. This venue was affordable in every sense and the best part was that it allowed us to completely customize our day without breaking the bank. We paid for the venue, linens, and the drink packages. Can’t remember how much the bar was in total but we did an open bar for lower shelf liquor, beer and wine and a cash bar for anything higher. It was so special to be able to bring in our own caterer, florals and DJ. They did a fabulous job bartending for us as well! Lorraine was so kind in getting all of our questions answered, even before we booked! Touring the Barn was even better and as soon as we saw the outdoor ceremony space, we were sold! We will be recommending this venue for a lifetime! And will likely be back to utilize the lodge at some point in our lives. We adored it here, you will too!!

If I could leave 10 stars I would. I am so incredibly happy that my husband and I chose OBR for our wedding. Lorraine was so accommodating, quick to reply, laid back, and easy to talk to if we ever had any questions. We weren't able to rehearse the day before so we opted for an extra hour and to rehearse the day of which worked out perfectly. The bar tender was equally amazing and went out of her way to help me and my 6 year old nephew before we walked down the aisle (he had to potty and she fixed his shirt and suspenders as well as fluffed my train before I walked out with my dad). EVERYTHING was perfect and the foundation of it all was the ease of getting married at The Old Blue Rooster!! I could go on and on but I will just end it with: if you are looking for a beautiful place to get married and the most accommodating and caring staff, CHOOSE THE OLD B LUE ROOSTER!!!!

We are so so thankful that we booked with The Old Blue Rooster! The venue is absolutely gorgeous!! I also envisioned a rustic/woodsy wedding and we got just that! The venue and property is beautiful in itself and did not require a lot of decorating which definitely relived a lot of stress! Not to mention the cost is very affordable and did not seem real with just how beautiful it is and how reliable Lorraine is. We could not have asked for anything more or different.
Lorraine is absolutely amazing! She was able to answer all of the questions we had quickly and was very informative. Anytime we had a question and emailed or texted her, she responded very quickly and we did not have to wait for a response. She is very accommodating and we could not have asked for a better person to help us make our day perfect!
We rented the groomsmen area, the lodge and the barn and had plenty of room for our wedding party and guests! The day of, it POURED down rain in the morning but cleared up within hours of the wedding and the outside area was dry and we were able to have our wedding outside. Due to the rain, we were not able to decorate outside in time but thankfully due to the property being so beautiful, it wasn't even needed.
We will always recommend the venue for future weddings for friends, baby showers, bridal showers and parties!

The Old Blue Rooster Event Center was the perfect place for our country wedding reception! We were married in a historic park near the event center and spent the afternoon/evening at the Old Blue Rooster for our reception. Lorraine was wonderful to work with - she made our wedding easy to plan! She was open to meeting our requests for specific wines/beers, as well as room setup. She makes everything seamless by providing optional linens, bartender, and list of potential caterers. We utilized the smaller building since our reception was small and it was perfect for our reception. I highly recommend this venue!

I could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding. Lorraine was great at communication and made me feel comfortable asking her questions along the way. The venue was clean and well-organized. We had our ceremony outside and it was well kept up with. The benches and the archway and in good condition. We were able to decorate wherever we felt like the day of the wedding. I would recommend this venue!

Lorraine and the entire OBR team were FANTASTIC to work with! The entire planning process and communication with them seriously could not have been easier. I was able to visit the venue twice before booking. Lorraine answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns throughout the planning process and in the months leading up to the wedding. We had a blast using the lodge and grooms' suite to get ready the morning of the wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning -- inside and outside! If I could go back and do it all over again, I would absolutely make the same decision and get married at the OBR. 10/10 recommend, for sure!!

This place is beyond beautiful, especially if you are getting married in the fall. There is a beautiful outside ceremony area, but with Ohio if it doesn't cooperate, they have made a beautiful alternative inside for you as well. From start to finish Lorraine and her team were so helpful in every step of this process. If we had any questions, Lorraine was just a text message away. They have extremely affordable packages and even allow you to bring in your own outside food. They have a bar onsite that comes with staff to serve you day of. If you have specific alchol preferences, they are able to order that for you. Also they have a lodge onsite that came with our package, that we used for the bridal party to get ready in. We also left all of our stuff we used to get ready and set up decor wise in that lodge during our wedding. I loved that we were able to have both the ceremony and the reception in the same place. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone getting married.

We couldn’t have asked for a better vendor to work with!! Highly recommend to any future brides!

This venue was exactly what we were looking for. Rustic barn style with a modern large reception space to cool down from the summer afternoon. There are multiple packages to choose from to stay within your budget. From the lodge (where the girls get ready) to the new grooms getting ready suite, it has everything you could ask for. Lorraine, the owner, was very informative, helpful and responsive with any of our concerns or questions.

OBR was the perfect place to have our wedding! We got married in May 2023 and it was so important to us to find a flexible space as we planned our day! It ended up raining the morning of our wedding and we were able to wait until the last possible minute to set the reception hall up and got to have our beautiful outdoor ceremony!! Lorraine was so helpful and we even met several of our other vendors at their open house. Lots of different package options, so easy to stay in budget and well worth the price!! The staff member, Ashley on site during our event was also kind and willing to help us, highly recommend!!!

I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Old Blue Rooster! My husband and I got married at the barn in June of 2022- After touring the barn in 2021, we immediately canceled all of our other venue tours because we knew we found our perfect spot! Lorraine was very hands-on and readily available to answer any questions/ concerns we had in the planning process. The rest of the staff was friendly, professional, and overall amazing, as wel!
The outdoor ceremony space required very minimal decor because it is already set up so beautifully- which I loved as a “DIY” bride on a budget! The inside was very spacious and worked very well for our small wedding of 75 guests, but can comfortably accommodate many more people. The property itself is perfect for outdoor activities such as cornhole, s’mores, and lawn games. To say Old Blue Rooster fulfilled my “fairytale” wedding vision would be an absolute understatement. Almost 1 year later and I’m still in awe of how perfect the day went.

On the day of the wedding, amidst all the craziness, I actually stopped and looked at my husband and said “today is absolutely perfect and we’ve been so lucky to have the most amazing vendors” The venue is gorgeous, the price is more than fair, and they are willing to work with you to make sure it’s everything you want and more. I can’t say enough great things about it!! You can’t go wrong with the Old Blue Rooster!

Lorraine and her staff were absolutely amazing for the entire wedding process! I was able to ask as many questions as I needed to whenever I needed to and someone was always accessible to answer them. The venue was very y priced compared to other barn venues and it even comes with the bar and bartenders (open bar for a fee). The property at the barn was absolutely stunning. Even though it rained, there were still plenty of spaces available to take pictures! The bartenders day of, even had fun with us! They let us bring in a shot ski and were laughing and interacting with us the entire time. Definitely ask about having Jenn with JCM Events to coordinate your big day! Overall I would actually give OBR and the staff 10/5 stars because I am honestly that glad we had our wedding here. It was absolutely a day to remember and the people and the place made it as wonderful as it was.

I would absolutely recommend the OBR to anyone looking for a wedding venue! I had the most magical experience on my wedding day, October 1, 2021. Lorraine was absolutely fantastic and helped us every step of the way. She and the entire staff made the day absolutely perfect! We rented the Lodge for the bridesmaids to get ready and I would do it all over again. The outdoor venue area is easily accessible and absolutely gorgeous, the inside worked perfectly - we rented our own white chairs and it ended up being so wonderful. 10/10!

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my experience at the OBR Barn! Not only is the venue incredibly beautiful, but the staff are unbeatable! Lorraine, event manager, is so kind, accommodating, and easy to get ahold of. She was always quick to answer questions, make changes to our plan as needed, and always tried hard to accommodate any requests we had. Our experience with Lorraine alone would have been enough for me to recommend this venue to anyone & everyone! However, the night of our wedding, we got to meet even more staff who helped us set up and clean up and ran the bar for the event, and they were just as wonderful! I am so incredibly grateful to OBR for the perfect wedding experience.
A few tips on the Barn: 1. Rent the lodge! It’s worth the extra money to have extra space right there on the property! And it’s a great getaway space if you need a break or a quiet moment alone with your new spouse.
2. They have a liquor license, so you must purchase alcohol through the venue and cannot bring outside alcohol. But they have so many options! & when we realized the night before that we wanted champagne for mimosas during our morning of getting ready, it was so easy for me to reach out and ask them to have some available for us and add it to our bar tab!
3. Ask them about their associate vendors! They have a Day of Coordinator/Planner that does weddings there all the time, so she is very knowledgeable about the venue & best way to do things. They also work closely with a linens company, that was so hassle-free! They had the linens there for us when we arrived, and all we had to do at the end of the night was leave them in a bag at the venue! Both of these vendors were extremely affordable and made all the difference in our day!
4. Don’t second guess it, just book here!! They have two beautiful locations to choose from, & the incredible staff will make your day so stress free and wonderful. You won’t regret it!

The Old Blue Rooster was a beautiful place to hold our wedding. The people there were so kind and were quick to answer any questions that we had about setting up and getting ready for our special day.

Wonderful venue space! The staff was so friendly & helpful to myself (the photographer) & the couple. Plenty of getting ready space in the lodge. The outdoor ceremony space is so lovely and it’s surrounded by the best backdrops of large grass fields and cornfields. So cute! Hope to shoot another wedding here again.

We used the venue for a graduation party; however, it would be a great facility for a wedding/reception. We had approximately 200 people and it didn't feel crowded. The grounds are well kept with a covered bridge, pond, swing, and gazebo. Tons of photo opportunities. The prep area in the back of the bar is perfect for storing/prepping food. Staff was responsive and punctual always. We'll definitely use the venue in the future.
