Wedgewood Golf & Country Club is a private, member-owned club in Powell, Ohio, built around a championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Since 1991, the course has been regarded as one of the more challenging in Central Ohio, routed through rolling terrain, creeks, bluffs, and mature stands of trees. The 49,500-square-foot Georgian-style clubhouse overlooks the ninth and eighteenth greens and anchors the club's event offerings. For weddings, the club's Grand Ballroom pairs updated interiors with design details that nod to Wedgewood's history, giving the space a modern, romantic feel. Ceremonies can move outdoors to the Celebration Garden, a hillside space with landscaped blossoms and views across the golf course. Both members and non-members can book weddings at the club, supported by an in-house team of catering and wedding professionals. Beyond weddings, the clubhouse offers additional event spaces — including the Gathering Room, the Executive Room, and the Legacy Room — for luncheons, dinners, meetings, and celebrations, accommodating groups from 20 to 320 people. An in-house events team tailors catering and event planning to each booking.

The Ohio Timber Framers Guild completed the hand-raising of the timber frame in 2010. The 3,700-square-foot main hall accommodates up to 150 guests for weddings, family reunions, business retreats, birthday parties, and civic gatherings.
