Nestled among the rolling hills of Northeast Ohio farmland and just 10 minutes from the Medina Square is the rustic chic wedding venue and event space White Birch Barn & Vineyard. The family-owned venue boasts a meticulously manicured property that includes an array of charming features — from a dreamy outdoor ceremony space complete with a gazebo to a scenic pond surrounded by white birch and willow trees.

One thing truly so special about White Birch Barn is its history. The venue sits on over 300 acres of pristine Ohio farmland that was purchased by fourth generation owner Eric Gasser's grandfather in 1892. For decades, the property was a functioning dairy farm — Eric even grew up milking cows on the farm. Then, in 2015, Eric and his wife Samantha took the leap to renovate and restore the property into a wedding venue. 

Now, White Birch Barn is celebrating its ninth year as a premier Northeast Ohio wedding venue, proving that you don't have to travel far for the barn wedding of your dreams. In fact, White Birch Barn boasts the perfect balance between convenience and seclusion. The venue's undeniable rustic charm makes it hard to believe that popular hotel options are just 15 minutes down the road. 

When it comes to stand-out features and amenities, White Birch Barns has all that and more. The below are always included in the price of the venue rental:

  • A 4,200-square-foot historic open framed barn that can accommodate up to 200 guests for the reception
  • A dreamy open courtyard area below the barn with a fire pit and patio
  • A magazine-worthy outdoor reception space complete with a charming gazebo (with an indoor space offered as a backup in case of rain or inclement weather)
  • A gorgeous lake and pavilion area next to the barn for pictures
  • Two newly renovated indoor restrooms in the original milking parlor
  • Coordination of vendor deliveries and setup
  • A gorgeous bridal suite in the main barn
  • A catering kitchen
  • Day of set up of tables and chairs 
  • Ceremony rehearsal 1-2 days before the wedding

White Birch Barn also has optional add-ons, like linen rentals, barn drapery and day-of event coordination — all of which are available for a fee.
