A Private Wedding & Event Venue · Holmes County, Ohio

Say Yes Beneath the Timbers

Vows at a private lake, a reception under soaring timber trusses, and cabins for your people to stay — one extraordinary venue in Ohio's Amish Country.

The Venue

A Celebration Woven into the Woods

Tucked into the rolling hills of Holmes County, Barn at Laurel Creek is a private event venue unlike any other. Mature forest wraps around a spring-fed lake, and a collection of beautifully crafted buildings — a modern cabin, a storybook guest cabin, and a soaring timber-frame barn — give a celebration a setting for every moment: the getting-ready morning, the vows, dinner, dancing, and the slow morning after.

Every structure has been finished with care — knotty pine interiors, stone accents, and craftsmanship that honors the land it sits on.

The Cabin

The Cabin

A modern woodland cabin — vaulted great room, loft suite, bunk room, and spa-style bath — the getting-ready suite and on-site lodging for the wedding party.

The Lake

The Lake

A private spring-fed lake with a wooden dock and lakeside deck — the ceremony site, cocktail-hour spot, and golden-hour portrait backdrop.

The Barn

The Barn

A grand timber-frame barn with a gathering hall, handcrafted bar, stone walls, and polished concrete floors — dinner and dancing under the trusses.

Getting Ready & Stays

Getting Ready, Wrapped in Pine

On the morning of the celebration, the great room and glass-wrapped sunroom become hair-and-makeup central — soft light, space for the whole party, and the forest as backdrop. A ships-ladder leads to the loft suite, a built-in bunk room sleeps the crew, and the chef's kitchen keeps everyone fed until the rehearsal is done.

And the Guest Cabin

A second, storybook cabin sits deeper in the woods — its own living space, kitchenette, and sleeping loft beneath the rafters. Room for the wedding party, visiting family, or a quiet hideaway on the big day.

The Ceremony

Vows at the Water's Edge

The heart of the venue is its private lake — still water ringed by hardwoods. Say your vows on the lawn or the wooden dock, host cocktail hour on the shaded lakeside deck, and slip away for portraits at golden hour, herons and all.

The Reception

A Reception Hall Among the Timbers

The crown of the venue: a grand timber-frame barn with soaring open trusses, a handcrafted bar, stone accent walls, polished concrete floors, and finished bath facilities. Long tables for dinner, a dance floor under the timbers, and room for the celebration to spill outside at dusk.
