    August 28th 2021 Same-sex wedding

    Amy was extremely helpful in making our day special. She was there to help with last minute details but let us have our space as well. She surprised my now wife and I with mimosas to celebrate the day of. We got so many compliments on the choice of venue from family. It was so worth it.

    Beautiful Venue

    This ceremony site was a dream come true. Everything about it is so naturally beautiful that you barely need to decorate. Amy was great to work with and was so kind and understanding. I'm really glad I found this venue!
    One downside is that the area where the bridal party gets ready is not the biggest and where the men get ready, there is no A/C. Even where the ladies get ready, it gets pretty hot as well.

    A dream come true

    We are so grateful and blessed for being able to spend our special day at Canyon Run Ranch. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and perfect the venue is. The moment we saw Canyon Run Ranch, we knew it was our place. The owner Amy made us feel welcomed right from the start, and we can not begin to express how grateful we are. Amy made selecting a venue easy. The property is a hidden piece of heaven! Our special day could not have been more beautiful, and we are so thankful to have been able to make memories at Canyon Run Ranch. Amy and Gary gave us a place to spend our special day that we never dreamed could be possible!

    Wonderful place for your beautiful Wedding

    I am a Wedding Officiant and I love doing weddings at Canyon Run Ranch. The area on top of the hill in a grove of trees is perfect for the outdoor ceremony. The barn is a great area for a wonderful reception/party. Amy and the staff are wonderful to work with. I go to lots of venues in the area and Canyon Run Ranch is one of my favorites. It is a great place to have your beautiful wedding.

    Viva la Strings LOVES Canyon Run Ranch!

    Canyon Run Ranch is one of our favorite venues for performing weddings and cocktail/dinner music. Viva la Strings regularly plays in the woods or at the rustic barn. Amy and her team very accommodating to our needs and the needs of their clients. Viva la Strings highly recommends Canyon Run Ranch!

    An Incredible Experience Worth Writing About

    As an October 2019 bride, I would give Canyon Run Ranch + Amy (owner) 10 stars if possible, as a perfect 5/5 doesn’t even begin to touch our satisfaction with the venue itself, and the people who have made it their business to ensure a wonderful wedding for those who choose to get married at Canyon Run. From the first inquiry e-mail, Amy was Johnny-on-the-spot to get back with us to arrange a tour and meeting. Falling in love with the forest, the barn, and the energy here is the easy part. Somehow, working alongside Amy was even easier. From linen advice, incredible vendor recommendations, allowing us to use the property for engagement photos, prompt response times, her attentive and positive attitude, and genuine warmth, we were impressed with her from our first meeting, until the sun had long gone down on our dream day. The forest + ceremony site are simply ethereal, and the barn has a charm that starts speaking before you even walk through the doors.

    I would like to take the time to address some of the things brought up in past reviews by simply sharing my own personal experience.

    1) The path to the ceremony site from the barn could not be more beautiful, or more straight forward. If you do not prefer to walk, or have your guests walk, there are golf carts available to anyone who needs them for transportation between ceremony and reception. This caused zero strife for us during our wedding day.

    2) There was never a time that my husband and I, nor or guests, felt that the music was not able to be played loud enough. It’s important to keep in mind that although the venue is secluded, the area surrounding the property include other residential pockets — just as you wouldn’t want to disturb your own neighbors, you won’t want to disturb someone else’s. We partied at full blast until nearly 11PM, and were able to hear the music all the way down to the fire pit and beyond.

    3) With just over 100 guests in attendance, those invited did not experience any parking congestion. There are multiple areas of the property for your loved ones to park, all within a very reasonable distance of the barn/golf carts.

    4) Amy is an actual angel. I consider myself an easy-going person, and I was met with the same attitude from my first exchange with her. You can see in everything she does and just the way she speaks, that Canyon Run is her home and her heart. There are rules in place in order to maintain the natural beauty that they have worked so carefully to make available to those that want to dabble in the true magic of a forest + rustic barn wedding. If you are willing to follow those very few, simple rules — I promise any potential bride and groom that you are in for a true treat with this owner and venue. Amy worked tirelessly to make our day run seamlessly, and deserves a true pat on the back for all she does.

    To conclude this review, I just want to reiterate that our big day was made so special by a culmination of scenery, good people, and hard work. We cannot say enough good things about our experience here.

    A Dream Come True!

    My husband and I were married at Canyon Run Ranch on 10-13-2018 and wish we could rewind and go back to this magical place. We were blown away by our overall experience. This gorgeous location is better than any place we could have imagined. Without question, Canyon Run Ranch gives you a truly intimate feel, along with feeling as if you are completely off the map, which is more than enough to make you never want to leave. Not to mention the owners, Amy and Gary, who were beyond delightful and nothing but helpful and accommodating. Amy even provided us with recommendations for different vendors, a handful of which we hired (whom we LOVE!) and offered such hospitality and warmth each time we visited for a walk-through. Amy was always ready and willing to answer any and every question we had during our nearly 2-year planning process and she was always quick to reply! On the day of the wedding, we had use of a beautiful bridal suite at one end of their home on the property. It was tranquil and just what was needed before the true hustle and bustle started!

    Canyon Run Ranch played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is testament to that.

    Amy and Gary, thank you for everything! It was a privilege and an honor to work with you and make our wedding day a dream come true!

    Fairytale wedding

    We got married at Canyon Run Ranch on 9/10/23 and our day felt like a fairytale due to this amazing venue. The ceremony site in the woods was straight out of a dream and the reception light filled with fairy lights felt magical. Amy was amazing to work with and it is not hard to tell how dedicated and passionate she is about this venue and the couples that choose it to host the most important day of their lives. Minimal decorations are required because the venue itself is so beautiful. I could not recommend Canyon Run Ranch enough to anyone wishing to get married there. Also Sara with craft events is a must! She made our day seamless, perfect and stress free. The only thing that left us feeling disappointed was how fast the day flew by, I think both of us wish we could live in the moments of our dreamy Canyon Run Ranch wedding forever.

    A dream come true

    Amy and Gary made our wedding day completely stress free! They host vendor showcases that made envisioning our big day so easy and we picked most of our vendors from this event and their recommended vendor list. Everyone was lovely and they were in communication with us to understand what we pictured and how they can help execute it. Canyon Run is a stunning property and their willingness to share it with the world speaks volumes about the type of people they are. Couldn’t ask for a better venue!

    One of a Kind

    This venue is truly one-of-a-kind! I had always dreamed of a wedding IN the forest (Twilight-inspired), and this was the perfect venue for it. My guests described the venue and our wedding as "magical" and "like a fairytale". Every aspect of this location is perfect, from the beautiful meadow path, to the forest ceremony site, to the barn filled with twinkling lights for the reception. Amy was wonderful to work with, and was always happy to help and answers all of my questions. The bar and DJ service were amazing too, and I HIGHLY recommend hiring Sara Studebaker for your wedding planner in order to have your day be as stress-free as possible. If you want to have a magical wedding, this venue and the Wards provide you with everything you need to make it happen.

    Beautiful Venue!

    We got married 9/9/23 at Canyon Run Ranch. The weather was perfect and we got so many compliments on how beautiful and unique the venue was! Amy and Gary's property is unlike any other. Our guests loved riding the golf carts to and from the ceremony site to the barn where the reception was. They were able to enjoy the wildflowers and beautiful scenery along the way. We decided to go with Amy's recommended DJ, Bar, Floral/Decor and wedding coordination services which made it super easy to plan our day. They all know the property very well, have lots of experience, and work great together! Sarah, our coordinator, was the best!!! She kept everything organized and on time. She reached out to all of our vendors to ensure they knew where to go and what time to be there. We did not have a rehearsal so she told people when to walk/how to walk/and where to stand during the ceremony. She organized the entire day and made sure it all went smoothly. Hiring Sarah is a must!! Overall, we had a great time and our guests did too!

    A dream come true

    Amy & Gary’s venue and home is an absolute dream come true. This was the very first and last place I toured. The moment I pulled into their driveway I knew it was the one. There is nothing lacking and I can’t possibly think of anything that needs improvement. Amy has been an absolute gem to work with from start to finish. I would do anything in the world to relive my beautiful wedding. I encourage everyone to have their wedding here, you will not be disappointed. The ceremony in the woods with the willow branch arch is pure perfection. The barn and milk parlor are perfect for the party! The wildflower fields offer the perfect photo opp! We opted to offer our guests honey from Amy’s bee farm and it was an absolute hit. We cannot thank Amy and Gary enough.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Absolutely perfect! Cannot recommend this venue enough! Amy is amazing and an even better person. She and her husband Gary were very helpful in the planning process. Also her daughter Carly was our DJ and our bar service. Carly killed it as well! Keeping the party going with fast service at the bar. The woods ceremony is the best part. We received so many compliments about the woods and the ranch in general. Would highly recommend Canyon Run Ranch

    The perfect venue

    My husband and I got married here 9/12/2020 and everything about the day and leading up to it was absolutely perfect! Amy was helpful throughout the entire process giving us tons of insight and helpful hints. Gary was so good the day of the wedding making sure everyone got up to the ceremony site safely. Even with COVID-19 in place, our day was an absolute dream. This venue is tucked away quietly in the woods and if you don't know it's there you may miss it, so be sure to look it's absolutely worth it! After our day we have received so many compliments from our guest about the beauty, accommodations and overall feel this venue has to offer. I will forever recommend Amy & Gary's place to any friends or family looking for their perfect venue.

    Perfect Rustic Wedding

    Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect choice for an out of state (or country!) couple who knows how unpredictable Ohio weather can be. Luckily our day was beautiful! However, the option for a barn wedding in case of rain was exactly the reason we chose this venue. Everything else was an added bonus! The vendor suggestions on their website were extremely helpful and all of the staff were excellent. Amy and Gary were easy to work with and made the actual wedding day breezy and enjoyable. They even introduced our guests to one of their horses! Super unique touch and definitely one of the highlights from our wedding.

    Canyon Run Ranch was Perfect

    I fell in love with Canyon Run the instant I saw the willow branch arch in the woods, and our entire experience only went up from there. Amy, the owner, was friendly, professional, and made planning and our day of go as smoothly as possible.
    Our October wedding was absolutely beautiful- the woods were stunning as they changed color for the fall. The barn was perfect for us and our guests. While us ladies were getting ready in the bridal suite, Amy served us mimosas and made sure we were taken care of.
    When hiccups with our planner happened, Amy and her husband stepped up seamlessly and made sure that my husband and I could enjoy our night. Every vendor we picked from their preferred vendor list were just as amazing and professional.
    We ended up also purchasing Olive, their photobooth, and it was perfect. Our guests loved it and we now have a beautiful guest book filled with amazing photo prints of our family and friends.
    I cannot recommend Canyon Run and Amy enough. Alone, the property is perfect, but the service and support we received from Amy and her husband put our day above and beyond what it could have been. It was absolutely worth every penny. All of my guests were in awe of the magical setting and I couldn't tell you how many people asked me how I even found this gem.

    Rustic Barn Hideaway!

    Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect place to have our wedding! Amy has been nothing but accommodating and went above and beyond making our day perfect. The Ranch comes alive at night with the beautiful lights! Our family gave endless compliments for Canyon Run Ranch especially for the photo booth named Olive that Amy created. Canyon Run Ranch will not disappoint!

    A Barn that Bends Over Backward to Make you Happy!

    I've always felt that the owners of Canyon Run Ranch and I are seeing eye-to-eye on creating a remarkable day for the couples. They are always in step with going above and beyond. Every wedding day is different, every couple is different, but Canyon Run Ranch is consistently the same is terms of quality, hospitality, and breath taking beauty.

    June 2019 wedding

    We got married at the Canyon Run Ranch in June 2019 and it truly was amazing. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful it was and how amazing they were, and Amy was so helpful. No one expected the ceremony site to be as exceptionally unique as it was, perfect for my husband and I, I think the wooded area was really the selling point for us because we wanted a wedding in the woods, but the whole property is gorgeous. The property was just large enough where people could walk around and not be crammed into the barn, but it was very comfortable and so beautifully decorated, we did not add much. Everything is so lush and green. 10/10 would recommend

    The perfect outdoor venue

    My Husband and I were married on June 7,2019 at Canyon Run Ranch. It was the perfect venue for us, it was everything we could have dreamt of. Not only was the venue perfect but Amy was the perfect host and really helped make our wedding as perfect as she could. Even months later I still have people asking me about the venue and saying how perfect it was and how it was the prettiest venue they have seen. I would definitely recommend booking Canyon Run Ranch to anyone who is considering.

    Natural Beauty and Tranquil Historic Setting

    Our daughter and her fiance got married 5/24/2019 at Canyon Run Ranch. They elected to get married in the wooded setting and have the reception in the barn, which was beautifully arranged for our gathering of nearly 150. As you come on the property, your first sight is the owners' beautiful stone house, built in the early 20th century. This is available for the bride and bridesmaids for preparation. There are many beautiful places for photographs. The barn is a 19th century historic structure, beautifully lit on the main level and the lower level. The owners have arranged the parking and facilities to accommodate those who need extra assistance, including having off road vehicles to transport people to the wooded ceremony site. The property's natural beauty is varied, with hills, meadows, wooded areas, gorges, and a stream. This venue is for those who want to enjoy the beauty of nature, with the house and barn providing a fabulous historic, vintage vibe.

    The perfect venue

    We had our wedding at Canyon Run Ranch 10/20/18. It was truly a "fairytale” wedding and everything I had ever dreamed of! Amy (the proprietor) and her crew were so wonderful to help do everything to make the day as perfect as possible. If you are a fan of the outdoors, and rustic style weddings, you have found the place for you. Once you step foot on the grounds, I have no doubt your search will be over. Amy was very professional during the entire process. She is very responsive to all messages and accommodating with any questions or requests that you may have. She made the entire booking, organization, and execution of the wedding so easy and stress free. She is also very helpful in coordinating with vendors. Her staff is very flexible, helpful, and professional as well. Amy and her crew are very helpful and sensitive to the needs of the guests. Golf carts and closer parking are available for use for more delicate guests. Amy also has a significant amount of tables/decorations such as wood log slices that are available for use as decorations. The bridal party was able to get ready in The Ward’s beautiful, stately stone home, where the groomsmen got dressed in a separate part of the barn. The rustic barn itself is breathtaking; as beautiful as pictures of it are, nothing could do it justice to the magic it holds when you step inside. After a trip along wildflower fields and entering the woods, a winding path leads you to the ceremony site, which may be one of the most stunning parts of the entire property. A twisting willow arbor awaits you at the end of a path lined with wooden benches, covered in picturesque trees. The entire property is a photographers dream. You will not find a shortage of places to take amazing photos, with a variety of choices, from their wildflower fields, woods, quaint flower garden, even a stream during certain seasons. The bartending services and Emcee services performed by Craft Event Bar was excellent, enthusiastic, easy to work with, and once again, very professional.
    We have also received wonderful feedback from guests and vendors alike, who loved the unique, serene experience that this venue is able to provide. We are so happy that we chose Canyon Run Ranch for our wedding. The entire process and evening was spectacular and something that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

    Best. Day. Ever.

    I wish I could give my venue ten stars! Absolutely the best venue we could have picked. It was truly the wedding of my dreams. Helpful staff, it couldn’t have been better.
