I went to an event at the Hower House one year prior to my wedding and fell in love with the gorgeous Victorian home that was meticulously restored and maintained. When we got engaged I knew that is where I wanted to have our small, intimate wedding and dinner. We got married in the rotunda and held our dinner in the formal dining room. Linda, the executive director, is friendly, easy to work with and attentive. She made it easy for us to visit and plan in the space. We had food set up in the music room and the library. Now, normally you have to use the University of Akron catering, but we were lucky and the school was closed and we could bring in our own food. You can not surpass the beauty of this home and at this price point. It is worth it! I wouldn't change a thing.
