Crago Farms is a family-owned event venue set on a sprawling property in Marysville, Ohio, about 30 minutes northwest of Columbus. Rick Crago purchased the farm in 1985, and over the decades the property transitioned from working agricultural land to a destination for weddings and private celebrations. Events take place in a rustic barn joined by an attached white tent and surrounded by wildflower gardens, with a pond on the property serving as a natural backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. The space accommodates up to 250 guests, with tables and chairs provided for up to 180 as part of the standard rental; additional rentals extend capacity to 250. The rental package includes setup and teardown, a cocktail area with high-top tables and whiskey barrels, a rustic bar, private bridal and groomsmen suites, a parking attendant, and a day-of wedding coordinator.

Ravenwood Castle is a medieval-themed destination resort nestled in the wooded Hocking Hills region of Ohio. Modeled after fortifications built along the England-Wales border during the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle was constructed in 1994 and 1995 by founders Sue and Jim Maxwell, who drew on their travels through the British Isles to shape the property's character. Jim and Pam Reed acquired it in June 2012, preserving the original vision while bringing their own touches to the guest experience. The property encompasses 21 guest rooms across the castle, a medieval village, and Huntsman's Hollow, and can be reserved exclusively for private celebrations. Weddings are hosted in the Drawing Room for intimate gatherings of up to 20 guests, in the Great Hall, or at outdoor locations on the grounds, with packages accommodating groups of up to 50. The castle also hosts corporate retreats, murder mystery experiences, and gaming conventions throughout the year.
