"I just got married yesterday, and I cannot recommend Harvest Moon enough! If you’re looking for a venue with breathtaking scenery and amazing people behind it, look no further. Harvest Moon truly has it all.
What makes this place so special are the owners, Ryleigh and Ben. They are the heart and soul of the venue and the reason my wedding was completely stress-free (yes, stress-free on a wedding day!). From the very first tour, Ryleigh was warm, welcoming, and helped us picture exactly how our day could look. Once we booked, she shared her number and was always just a text away. She answered every single question—big or small—over the year and a half of planning, and even checked in on me with thoughtful messages leading up to the big day. The morning of our wedding, she even sent me the sweetest text wishing us well and letting me know she’d be on-site if I needed anything.
On the wedding day itself, Ryleigh, Ben, and their entire team went above and beyond. The bartenders nailed our signature drinks and had the bars set up beautifully. Ben personally made sure my walk down the aisle was flawless, standing guard so I was hidden and reassuring me that everything looked perfect before my big entrance. Those small, thoughtful touches meant so much.
And then there’s the venue itself—it’s simply stunning. The natural greenery and flowers make it picture-perfect without needing much added décor. The bridal suite is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully lit, while the groom’s lounge is equally impressive. Every detail has clearly been thought through to make the day smooth and enjoyable for everyone.
At the end of the day, yes, the venue is gorgeous—but the true magic lies with Ryleigh and Ben. They genuinely care, and it shows in every detail. Because of them, I was able to relax and soak in every moment of my wedding day without an ounce of stress. You truly cannot put a price on that!"

"I honestly don’t know if words can fully express my feelings for Ryleigh, Ben, their team, and the absolutely magical experience they provided — but I’m going to try!
Ryleigh is an absolute treasure. From our very first text to every in-person interaction, she radiates warmth, joy, and a deep love for her property, her couples, and everything in between. She responds lightning-fast, calms any bride during planning, and goes above and beyond in everything she offers. Ryleigh literally “saved the day” for me on multiple occasions, always with kindness and grace, never making me feel like an inconvenience. I probably exchanged close to 200 emails with her, and each one was filled with genuine care, encouragement, and positivity.
Ben is an absolute sweetheart. Meeting him at the venue, it was clear how perfect he and Ryleigh are together. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, complimented our decor and vendors, and personally checked in with me to make sure everything was exactly as I envisioned. He is truly a “yes man,” willing to do whatever it takes to make the day perfect.
Their staff was equally wonderful — kind, sweet, and attentive. They made me feel completely at home and honored every request, no matter how small (like asking guests to use cups instead of cans so our photos would be perfect!).
Harvest Moon itself is extraordinary. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately maintained, the venue is clean and thoughtfully designed, and everything was set up exactly as promised. The property is stunning, with so many photo opportunities that you’ll have a hard time deciding which to prioritize! Ryleigh, Ben, and their team made me feel like an exceptional bride and ensured that every guest felt welcomed, cared for, and celebrated.
Looking back, working with them was one of the absolute highlights of my entire wedding and planning experience. I wish I could write this review ten times over just to fully express my gratitude and admiration. The love, dedication, and joy that Ryleigh and Ben pour into their work is truly life-changing, and I will carry the feeling of that day — and their kindness — with me for the rest of my life.
If you are considering Harvest Moon for your wedding, know that you are not just booking a venue — you are gaining a team of incredible, caring humans who will make your day unforgettable in every way. They will pour their hearts into you and your magical day, just as they would for their own! Ultimately, choosing Harvest Moon, Ben, Ryleigh, and their crew means entrusting your wedding day to a team who genuinely cares about your experience, your memories, and your joy — and that is a gift you and your guests will never forget!!"

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would!!! This was only the 2nd venue we toured and after the tour, we knew immediately we had to get married there. Not only it is absolutely stunning… from the outside ceremony area of my dreams, the cocktail area, the high light lined ceilings of the reception space, the bridal suite, AND the absolutely gorgeous land with endless photo ops, you could not ask for more. On top of the shear beauty of the entire venue - THE OWNERS AND STAFF ARE MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER ASK FOR.
I literally could not have imagined getting married anywhere else that did not have these kind souls running it all. Ryleigh was AMAZING! During the entire wedding planning process. Every single question was answered with quickness and kindness, every single time. even if I was just asking for an opinion. Even the day before she was making sure they had everything we wanted ready. Her husband, Ben was there the night of making sure everything ran smoothly and was also extremely kind and helpful. He and the rest of the staff working the day of make sure everything was perfect for our big day.
AND REEGAN!!! If you are thinking of having a day of coordinator, I’m telling you right now to do it. She was an absolute angel and I swear the reason our day was perfect in every way possible.
I could go on and on about this venue. It is stunning, the fairy tail wedding venue, our guests told me all night how amazing it was. So many people asked how I found it.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT HARVEST MOON FOR YOUR BIG DAY, I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe how amazing Ryleigh and Ben were, and how breathtaking this venue is. We toured dozens of venues and none of them quite checked all the boxes until Harvest Moon. I vividly remember leaving our showing and looking at my now husband and saying “this is the one right?” You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful venue. The ceremony space outside is large and surrounded by beautiful trees that was so easy to personalize to ourselves. The separate areas for cocktail hour and the reception are uniquely their own yet fit together beautifully at the same time. Both the bridal and grooms suites provided enough space for everyone to be comfortable and relax before the wedding started. Not to mention the beauty of the entire property, and how many different backgrounds were available for photos. We were married on October 4, 2025 and I have people weeks later still texting me on how beautiful of a venue we chose. Ryleigh and Ben, as well as the rest of their team, were some of the most delightful people to work with. Ryleigh was attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had, and I’m sure answered the same question multiple times as scatterbrained as I could get during the planning process. Ben was just as personable and helpful, offering any assistance we needed when setting up the venue for our day. Their staff day of was also amazing, and their help to ensure our timeline was still on track was beyond helpful. I absolutely cannot recommend this venue enough. It truly was the most perfect space for our day, and I will forever be grateful to Ryleigh and Ben for making our wedding planning so seamless and easy.

"Could not recommend Harvest Moon Venue enough!! The staff is so helpful throughout the whole process - with planning and throughout the actual day and weekend. Our wedding pictures were stunning and we had to plan minimal decor wise because the property is absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part about Harvest Moon Venue is not only the staff but also how there is a seperate area for each part of your day - bridal suite, groomsmen cabin, ceremony area, cocktail hour area, reception area, and even an area for pictures. There are multiple areas for guests to socialize throughout the evening. If I could leave this venue 10 stars, I would!!
The Faust's
"This venue is GORGEOUS. The first time I arrived I knew this place was where I wanted to get married. Day of our wedding, everybody kept raving how beautiful it was. It’s such a bonus how the owners have decor already up throughout the venue so I did not have to get as much. The bridal suite and the groomsmen cabin were both amazing- we loved having each of our own spaces to get ready in. The owners were very accommodating and were quick to reply to any questions I had. They helped made our day go absolutely perfect!"
The Jarrett's
"Words cannot describe how perfect Harvest Moon was for my husband and I's wedding. We just had a fall wedding in October, and the outdoor ceremony space was beyond beautiful with the fall leaves as our background. The lower barn was an absolute hit for our cocktail hour and the upper barn with its stringed lights is what first sold us on the venue! Harvest Moon, in its entirety, holds so much beauty that there is truly very little decor we used as the venue is enough of a statement in itself.
While the venue was a showstopper, the real win at Harvest Moon is getting to work with Ryleigh and Ben. Through every step of the planning process, Ryleigh was always a text or email away to answer any questions and to give her advice on whatever was needed. We hadn't met Ben until the day of the wedding, but instantly he took care of us and anytime he saw me he would check in to see how I was doing/if I needed anything both before and after the ceremony. From beginning to end, it was clear how much Ryleigh and Ben cared for us and wanted our wedding to be the most special day for us; the appreciation and love we have for them and the venue is something we can't put into words. Leaving the wedding was one of the hardest moments because we truly didn't want it to end. We will never forget how Ben encouraged us to take the time of our private last dance to soak it in and then encouraging us before we walked out for our sparkler exit. It was all of these little moments with Ryleigh and Ben that made our time with them at Harvest Moon so special. They aren't just the owners; they quickly will become your biggest supporters! I wish everyone could experience this venue and working with Ryleigh and Ben because for us it was the biggest blessing we could ever ask for."
The Ashley's
"We had the absolute BEST day at Harvest Moon. It was truly everything we wanted and more. From the beautiful ceremony space to the open concept of cocktail hour and reception it was perfect in every way. Our guest loved having both the inside/outside spaces. My guests who weren’t able to or didn’t like dancing enjoyed having the choice of sitting by the multiple fire pits with couches! The owners go above and beyond for the guest, they truly care and want you to have the best day possible! I couldn’t recommend this venue more, it was a DREAM."
The Elam's
"From the moment we walked onto this property we fell in love. We had toured many other venues & felt like only a paycheck to others. Here, they made us feel like they cared about us and our special day. The moment we walked into the reception hall, we knew we couldn't pass up this opportunity.
Everything leading up to the wedding day was so smooth, very well communicated & organized. Between not only our coordinator but also the owners of the venue. When it came to our actual wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better day. Our coordinator kept everything running smoothly. All the staff were so helpful and kind. We have gotten nothing but compliments from all our guests on how amazing everything was. We are forever grateful and thankful to Harvest Moon & all of their staff for making our day unforgettable. We would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone looking for a memorable wedding day ."
The Holliday's
"My husband and I got married at Harvest Moon Venue this past weekend and we cannot recommend it enough!!! This venue is absolutely STUNNING and the staff made the day absolutely perfect… from making sure we were good throughout the day, bringing the wedding party a snack platter after the ceremony during pictures, to helping everyone get lined up for the ceremony!!! They seriously blew all of our expectations way out of the water!! We got compliments literally all night long about how stunning your venue is!!! I pretty much recommend your venue to anyone I know getting married haha! If we could re do our wedding day over again we would choose your venue every single time!!!"
The Stasiak's
"Harvest Moon will forever hold a special place in my heart. From the moment I saw the reel on Instagram, I knew deep down this was the place I was meant to get married. When I finally saw it in person, it took my breath away! The peaceful, tucked-away beauty of Midwest Ohio became the backdrop for my rustic, romantic dream wedding. Having the entire property to ourselves for the day felt like stepping into a fairytale. Ryleigh and Ben were nothing short of a blessing. Their responsiveness, patience, and genuine care made the entire journey so easy and filled with joy. Ryleigh especially became such a source of reassurance and support. Her kindness carried me through the planning process, and I will always remember how she made me feel like more than just another bride(especially with the many emails and text messages I sent to her). At 45 years old, she gave me the fairytale wedding I had dreamed of, and that is a gift I’ll never forget. Reagan, our day-of coordinator, was amazing as well—everything ran so smoothly that if there were any hiccups, I never knew. The entire team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so I could simply soak in every precious moment. I was had a great wedding coordinator that the team worked so beautifully with. Thanks to Harvest Moon, I didn’t just have a wedding I lived out my dream day surrounded by beauty, love, and peace. I will always be grateful for the memories made here, and for the people who helped turn my dream into reality."
The Vecchio's
"Harvest Moon is the most PERFECT place to get married. The owners and all of the workers are absolutely amazing and answer all your questions leading up to the wedding as well as the day of. Ryleigh and Ben were phenomenal in helping everything go smoothly and Regan was amazing as the coordinator. The property is seriously a hidden gem! All the spaces are beautiful and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the venue was. The is the best place to get married!!!"
The McKnights
"My husband and I recently got married here on the 28th of June. Ironically, we toured this venue on the 28th of June last year and it was the first venue we toured. We told ourselves not to fall in love with the first venue we toured but sure enough, every other venue fell short after viewing Harvest Moon’s unique outdoor ceremony and gorgeous lit-up barn.
Leading up to our wedding and on the day of our wedding, Ryleigh, Reegan, Ben and the rest of their crew were incredibly helpful! They were so kind. You can tell that they love what they do. They made sure that our day was truly the best it could be and it was! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and all of our guests had such great things to say about it. I wish I could relive our wedding day all over again. If you are considering Harvest Moon Venue, you will not be disappointed. It’s a wonderful place!"
The Kuntz's
"Harvest Moon Venue was an amazing place to get married and we appreciated all the help from the owners with bartending and accommodating to our needs at times. They had so many cute picture spots and a couple places to choose to have the ceremony. They even had a back up plan for if it rained and we needed to move inside. It was so nice to move from the ceremony to the barn/ reception. I heard from so many people the day of and even before the wedding how pretty everything was. Ughhh and the bridal area to get ready is luxury. it had plenty of space for me and my 6 bridesmaids. Would recommend to anyone for a party, wedding, reception, etc. Our wedding was truly a dream!"
The Nesloney's
"I recently had my wedding at Harvest moon and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The layout is beautiful, they recently have made a ton of renovations on their property with updated bathrooms, AC, and spaces. Ryleigh has been super helpful throughout the planning process and is always on top of communication. She will always answer any questions you have in a timely manner. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. It really is the most beautiful venue and everyone you work with will be very accommodating!"
The White's
"We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue experience. From the moment we booked, they guided us through every step of the planning process with expertise and care. On the big day, the Roger’s (owners) were there to assist whenever needed, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the stunning beauty of the venue, both for the ceremony and reception. We're incredibly grateful for their attention to detail and dedication to making our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!"

"This venue is gorgeous! Not to mention it covers all your needs for your wedding day! Separate ceremony and reception areas that are in close proximity of each other, bride/groom suites on the property, a wonderful cocktail lounge with decor that brings it all together, a bar downstairs and upstairs, men and women’s bathrooms, acreage of country beauty, and of course the incredible, rustic reception area.
