The Barnstone is a rustic wedding venue nestled on a country farm in Wayne County, Wooster, Ohio. The century-old Barnstone has been carefully renovated to provide gorgeous wedding and reception events for couples seeking a rustic barn experience for their milestone celebration. This venue features the Barnstone barn and three other traditional farm buildings to accommodate every couple's wishes for their unique, memorable day. The barn and property boast a classic country appearance, with white buildings and endless fields of crops. Located near The College of Wooster, with hotels nearby, this venue is about an hour's drive from Cleveland.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can invite up to 175 guests on their special day at The Barnstone. This idyllic escape is available to couples from late April through summer to the last weekend of October. The century-old Slate Barn features two-story-high cathedral ceilings and exposed wood with a weathered texture in every direction. The hayloft ladder and wagon wheel chandelier add to the authentic, rustic atmosphere of the barn. Each building has electricity and ceiling fans to keep guests cool during summer wedding celebrations. The Carriage House sets the scene for your cocktail hour or the bar area for your reception, with plenty of space for tasty nibbles and appetizers. Also included on the property are The Summer House and The Chicken House. The Summer House is the old farmhouse cottage used for summer living, now especially suited for the nearlyweds and their party. The Chicken House has been repurposed into dapper get-ready quarters. Both buildings are air-conditioned and ideal for getting ready for the big day ahead.

Services Offered

The Barnstone is available to host ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, and rehearsal dinners. If available, couples who reserve the Barnstone for Saturdays may utilize the facilities on Friday for setup and rehearsal events. Guests are welcome to select professional services to provide food, drinks, and music for their special day. The Barnstone staff can recommend local vendors if requested. Owner Doug and his crew are available to help couples prepare for their momentous occasion and will ensure a smooth and flawless celebration.

The perfect hidden gem of a venue!

From the first visit to the tear down after the wedding, we had the best experience with Doug and the Barnstone. This venue has so much to offer and at a fantastic price. Doug was great at communicating and helping answer questions each step of the way. The venue itself is beautiful with so much original, rustic beauty that doesn’t require much decoration to make for a great event. All of our guests raved about the experience they had at the venue. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Doug was an awesome person to work with! He let us visit throughout our planning period to get refreshers and fall in love with the venue all over again. Having the entire day before our wedding to set up was so stress relieving!! He was even so helpful the day of :) We continuously get compliments of how beautiful everything was.

The Barnstone

Doug was amazing to work with! He allowed us to visit the barn whenever needed before the wedding and was so helpful during set up and the actual day! He allowed us to be creative with the venue, was EXTREMELY kind to our guests, and offered help in any way he could. The barn/restrooms/rooms where the bridal parties got ready were clean and amazing! I would recommend the Barnstone to anyone!

The Barnstone is an awesome venue to be a part of an event with! The owner is great to work with, and has always been so accommodating to any request from both us, as a caterer, and our clients who book there... Unlike a lot of other rustic venues, the floor is new and absolutely beautiful. Imagine a gorgeous hardwood floor...in a barn setting! Perfect for any wedding.
