Welcome to The Wellspring! Situated on fifteen bucolic acres in Northeast Ohio, The Wellspring offers a one-of-a-kind venue experience that marries rural, rustic outdoor scenery with modern, light-filled architecture. Featuring a large pond, creek, evergreen forest, mature woods, and nature trails, our natural setting can’t be beat. Indoors, guests have access to our intimate, window-lined chapel building as well as a separate reception hall with a feature wall of windows and attached party patios. And because design is at the top of our mind, we intentionally crafted bright and airy interiors to serve as the perfect blank canvas and backdrop for your big day.
When you trust us with hosting your big day, you can be sure we’ve thought of everything. Curious about what’s included in our wedding package? Below is an overview of features and amenities we offer to help make your wedding day as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Our intimate chapel building was designed for indoor ceremonies and holds up to 170 people. Perfect as a year-round ceremony space, or as a convenient backup location in the case of inclement weather.
Our main reception hall holds up to 200 people and was designed for parties and large gatherings. Both buildings are heated and cooled all year, and feature light, bright interiors with more windows than you can count. Our main hall features six sets of modern glass doors that open completely to a full 10-foot width onto two timber-framed party patios with lights and fans so that guests can stay comfortable indoors and out. On a pleasant day, throw the doors open and bring the outdoors in!
Our professional prep kitchen and commercial refrigerator are equipped for your catering and cuisine needs. Our custom-made mobile bar is included and ready for use anywhere on the property. We provide all tables and chairs, including six 24-inch round cocktail tables, 25 eight-foot wooden tables, and 210 matching wooden crossback chairs. Your wedding package includes a personalized floor plan and all tables and chairs set up for your event. Need privacy, storage, or space to get your group ready? We offer two private, beautiful bridal party suites to use as needed on your big day.
Have you always dreamed of an outdoor wedding? Are you wanting unbeatable natural backdrops with a variety of photo ops? Looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors? We’re situated on 15 private acres of land where you’ll find a spacious pond, mature woods, an evergreen forest, babbling brook, spring wildflowers, summer berries, fall foliage, and winter snowfalls - truly the perfect natural setting for incredible photo opportunities all year long. In between our buildings, we’ve designed a courtyard of green space for fresh air, mingling, outdoor cocktail hour, and yard games. High-speed internet and wi-fi are available. Our entire property is ADA compliant. Trash, recycling, and on-site parking available.

Brad & The Wellspring team are the most personable, kind, & genuine people you could find to host your wedding day!
From the very beginning, we felt welcome during our tour, and af...
terward, their communication was respectful & quick. You can they love the Lord & honor Him in the way they live.
Brad was quick to offer vendor recommendations, work around a payment plan, & thoroughly provide us with any details we needed while planning.
On the day itself, our venue coordinator, Vanessa, served as a helpful extra pair of hands, & she was incredibly sweet to everyone.
This was our first booking decision, and by far our favorite. Thank you to the whole team for making our dreams come true!!! 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants a clean, beautiful space full of natural light & scenery.

We had our wedding at The Wellspring on November 22, 2024 and it could not have been more perfect. From the beginning the owner/manager were great to work with and were very quick ...
to respond to any questions we had or recommendations. We were looking for a venue that was modern, beautiful, cost effective, and had a dedicated ceremony space aside from the reception space. This Wellspring checked all those boxes. We liked that they did not have exclusive vendors and you could have the choice to pick what fit in your budget. We had about 140 guests attend which felt perfect for the space. They can accommodate more than this though. We are very happy we had our wedding here and could not say enough good things. Thank you Brad and Tory!

The Wellspring was the first place my husband and I visited for our wedding and knew right away that we wanted to get married there. Not only is the space simply beautiful, it was ...
really easy to find and it was great to have the ceremony and reception in the same place. Brad was great in replying to emails and answering all of the questions we had. The big windows let in so much natural light and being able to open the sliding glass doors allowed for an indoor/outdoor experience. During dinner, the sun was shining directly into the reception area and it did get hot but it only lasted for a little. We had 140 guests and I think that was the perfect amount to fit in the space while also having a decent sized dancefloor. I cannot speak highly enough of this space!

The Wellspring was recommended to my now husband and I through The Knot after hours of paging through venues. We were looking for a place with wheelchair access and the ability to ...
host a ceremony and reception indoors as we planned to marry in March. Brad and Emily were responsive from day 1 to our many questions. They allowed us to bring both our decorator and photographer and explore how to put everything together for the day of, even offering some advice and ideas (Thank you so much Brad!). I personally am very grateful for the sound mufflers that were hung before our wedding. The buildings had had a echoing sound until that point. We had planned to hang tulle in hopes of that muffling sound, but were unsure how to make it all come together. The sound mufflers did the job wonderfully! And the audio the day of was perfect! Thank you.
We did decide to hang some paper lanterns from the ceiling and those Brad willingly hung for us. He also moved the chairs for us so the guests could sit during cocktail hour. The venue design lent itself wonderfully to our decor ideas! We hosted a little over 120 people, and still had more than enough space for the dance floor and buffet. The foyer was spacious and allowed for an easy flow of people transitioning from the chapel to the reception. Even though the weather was chilly, there were more than enough spaces for our photographer to get the most amazing photos (pond, woods, grassy areas, and the minimalist architecture!).
Thank you again Brad and Emily! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you.

r. We were very impressed by their attention to detail, and their willingness to work with us to make our day special to us. From the moment we toured the venue I knew that is where I wanted my special day to be - and construction wasn’t even done yet!! There are so many windows providing natural light and the venue is so bright and clean. Brad and Emily thought through every detail and they decorated the place so beautifully! My bridesmaids and I had a blast getting ready in the bridal suite, and our whole wedding party hung out in there during the transition time between the ceremony and reception. The tables they provide are absolutely beautiful and the whole venue acts like a blank canvas to add your own decor to. I was able to make it my dream wedding! We had 127 guests and the venue was a perfect size (but we definitely could have fit a few more tables in if needed). Brad had the tables put where we wanted them to go and was there for the majority of our day to see if we needed anything from them! 10/10 would recommend this venue to any bride in the area!!
