My husband and I actually got married here back in 2022 and I still rave about this venue! Especially after seeing all of the updates made to the property! We greatly appreciated all of the help from the staff leading up to the wedding day and on the day of. This venue was affordable in every sense and the best part was that it allowed us to completely customize our day without breaking the bank. We paid for the venue, linens, and the drink packages. Can’t remember how much the bar was in total but we did an open bar for lower shelf liquor, beer and wine and a cash bar for anything higher. It was so special to be able to bring in our own caterer, florals and DJ. They did a fabulous job bartending for us as well! Lorraine was so kind in getting all of our questions answered, even before we booked! Touring the Barn was even better and as soon as we saw the outdoor ceremony space, we were sold! We will be recommending this venue for a lifetime! And will likely be back to utilize the lodge at some point in our lives. We adored it here, you will too!!

If I could leave 10 stars I would. I am so incredibly happy that my husband and I chose OBR for our wedding. Lorraine was so accommodating, quick to reply, laid back, and easy to talk to if we ever had any questions. We weren't able to rehearse the day before so we opted for an extra hour and to rehearse the day of which worked out perfectly. The bar tender was equally amazing and went out of her way to help me and my 6 year old nephew before we walked down the aisle (he had to potty and she fixed his shirt and suspenders as well as fluffed my train before I walked out with my dad). EVERYTHING was perfect and the foundation of it all was the ease of getting married at The Old Blue Rooster!! I could go on and on but I will just end it with: if you are looking for a beautiful place to get married and the most accommodating and caring staff, CHOOSE THE OLD BLUE ROOSTER!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Old Blue Rooster, and I can't say enough good things about this venue! The outdoor ceremony space is simply stunning, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful trees that created a perfect natural backdrop. Inside, the reception area is spacious and well-designed, ensuring that all guests have a clear view of the main events.
As a photographer, I was particularly impressed with the photo opportunities this venue offers. The greenery and trees are ideal for capturing beautiful, natural shots, and the venue's location provides a fantastic sightline for those dreamy golden hour sunset photos.
Logistically, The Old Blue Rooster is top-notch. The on-site parking is convenient, and the venue is easily accessible with ramps, which is great for older guests. I also appreciated the two separate getting-ready rooms, allowing each spouse to have their own space to prepare for the big day.
What really stood out to me, though, was the staff. They were incredibly helpful and genuinely caring towards the couple, ensuring that their wedding day was as special as possible. I highly recommend The Old Blue Rooster to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue in Columbus!

Had my wedding here in 2023. Lorraine is so hands on, present, and accommodating. One of the best priced venues in central Ohio by far and now has so many amazing new additions like the grooms suite the revamped Bridal suite and so much more. I would have a wedding here again 100x over

10/10! Best day of our lives. We loved the staff and couldn’t have been treated better. The venue is gorgeous and despite being a “barn” it isnt too rustic and is a perfect clean slate for any of your design ideas. The price is also good compared to other venues in the area. They allow you to personalize your day and vendors in so many ways and it really is a great venue to cater to your own ideas and wishes. They have great, ample getting ready space and it feels so secluded and beautiful.

I just got married here on Oct 5th and I could not reccomend this venue more! I would rate it 6 stars if I could. Every single aspect was so beautiful and functional. The staff was amazing. We worked with Ashley the day of, and she was the absolute best!
