Rivercrest Farm is a small family-run working farm and event space located in a valley on 120 acres of undulating hills close to the Tuscarawas River. Currently owned by the third and fourth generations of the same family, Rivercrest Farm has changed over the years from a dairy barn and truck weigh station to a venue for weddings and other events all year long. The farm's owner and chandelier junkie, Deanna Vickery, lives there with her menagerie of animals. This region, hidden in the hills of the Midwest, is brimming with history, culture, and magic. The memories of a century ago are kept in the barn, which has been handed down through the generations. The old barn served as a dairy farm after it was constructed in 1918. We started organizing weddings and parties for couples from all around the region in 2013. From the beginning of April to the middle of December, we host events. From the Sunday before Christmas through the end of March, we are closed for events.

Mountain Run Station is a 32-acre Geauga Park District park in Hambden Township, Ohio, serving as the gateway to the central section of The Maple Highlands Trail.

Chardon Run Way, a 0.36-mile asphalt trail, keeps the grounds accessible for walking, biking, and cross-country skiing, and a free-to-use bicycle repair station donated by the Cleveland Touring Club stands ready for riders coming off the trail.

Founded in 1930 when industrialist Al Wenrick set out to turn 150 acres of Dayton-area farmland into a golf course, Walnut Grove Country Club has grown into one of the area's established private clubs. The course opened in 1935, operating initially as Green-Mont Country Club before taking its current name as the property came to straddle county lines. While the golf course remains the club's cornerstone, Walnut Grove also welcomes weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, bridal and baby showers, anniversary parties, retirement celebrations, fundraisers, and holiday gatherings across six distinct venues. The Main Dining Room, the club's largest space, overlooks the golf course and opens onto a patio, making it a natural fit for wedding receptions and larger events. Smaller gatherings can move to the more casual Greenmont Room or the intimate Walnut Room, while corporate groups have use of the Mixed Grille for meetings with audio/visual support. Outdoors, The Grove offers a covered, tree-shaded setting for ceremonies and reunions, and the Terrace — an open-air patio off the Main Dining Room — looks out over the landscaped grounds and swimming pool for casual dining and cocktails.
