What can you tell me about the on-site lodging?
That’s a great idea! You can have your friends & family within walking distance, and make your wedding a weekend getaway!! Check out the Cedar Grove Lodging website for all the details.

Do you have any decorations that we could borrow?
YES!!!  We have a “Borrowed” décor collection in our base package, with the option to upgrade to our “Signature Borrowed” collection, too. Couples love the ease of eliminating all that searching and transportation of décor. Let us help you!

Are children welcomed?
Yes, children are welcome! For their safety, we ask that children remain under adult supervision at all times and not wander around the facilities. Children under 2 are free, but please notify us if high chairs will be required.

Are our furry family members allowed to attend?
Absolutely!!!  Our event space and lodging are pet-friendly for well-behaved and leashed dogs or cats.

Can I add additional hours to my package?
If available, additional hours may be added to your rental period. We also offer rental options for the day before and the day after your big day. Booking blackout periods may exist.

Are there any additional fees?
We do not believe in hidden service fees. Package pricing (see Investment page) is not subject to any additional service fees. State and local taxes, as well as our Damage Deposit, will be detailed on your invoice. Gratuities are not included.  Gratuity for our event coordination and bar services is greatly appreciated.

Are holiday rentals available?
Yes, holiday rentals are available, subject to the venue’s discretion, and may include additional fees. 

Do you allow outside caterers?
For the safety of your guests and to comply with our food license, all food must be provided by licensed and insured caterers approved by Cedar Grove.

Is Alcohol permitted at a Cedar Grove wedding?
Yes!  We can provide a fully licensed bar including wine, draft and canned beer, canned spirit drinks, mixed spirits, and our very popular signature drinks! Our bar services provide you maximum flexibility without the stress, liability, and hidden expenses of a BYOB service. All alcoholic beverages consumed in The Haven must be purchased from Cedar Grove. By law, no outside alcohol may be brought into a licensed facility. Per Ohio liquor laws, no outside alcohol may be brought into the licensed areas. Bar services must close 30 minutes before the end of the music and 90 minutes before the end of the rental period. 

Do you have space for the wedding party to get ready?
Our wedding packages include use of our bridal suite, complete with mirrors and seating for make-up, hair, etc. We also have various-sized cabins available for rent, which most groups use for additional space to get ready.

What’s your favorite hike?
Oh, that’s a tough one! In Hocking Hills, the Grandma Gatewood trail is between Old Man’s and Cedar Falls. Outside of Ohio, our favorite hike is Half Dome in Yosemite. Hope to see you on the trails!
