Barn on the Hill

We are currently pausing the scheduling of weddings as we make some improvements to the grounds. We look forward to offering an even better experience in the future.

In the meantime, visit us for the Bazaar at the Barn.

The Barn on the Hill is a versatile venue to make your wedding celebration an event to remember.

 The Barn on the Hill was built for one purpose, weddings. The design and layout is perfect for wedding parties up to 150 guests. Operating three seasons a year, from April to November, the Barn on the Hill is located 40 minutes east of downtown Columbus. Contact us today to begin planning your special event!

The Barn

Our barn is a private club with over 6,000 square feet of covered space and four distinct areas to make your wedding day unforgettable: the grand main floor, the elegant loft, the open-air porch, and the charming gazebo by the pond. From the Barn, sweeping views stretch across rolling valleys and the sparkling fountain pond, creating a backdrop as timeless as your love. Whether you’re preparing with your bridal party in the loft, sharing cocktails on the porch, or gathering with loved ones by the firepit and gazebo, every corner of the property is designed to surround your celebration with beauty, comfort, and romance.

The Barn

The heart of the property, the Barn’s grand main floor measures 50' by 70' and can welcome up to 150 guests for dining, dancing, and celebration. Its rustic charm pairs effortlessly with your personal style, whether adorned with elegant florals and draping or left to shine in its own natural beauty. Guests will enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped caterer’s kitchen, two modern restrooms, and a portable bar—all designed to keep your day flowing smoothly while you focus on the moments that matter most.

THe Loft

Tucked above the main floor, the 50' by 30' loft offers a beautiful and elegant retreat for the bridal party. With soft light and a spacious layout, it provides the perfect backdrop for quiet reflection, laughter with friends, and those special getting-ready moments before you walk down the aisle. From its warmth and charm to the anticipation it holds, the loft is where your wedding day story begins.

THe Porch

The 15' by 70' open-air porch invites guests to step outside and soak in the sweeping views of the valleys and the pond. It’s a dreamy setting for your cocktail hour, filled with the glow of romantic string lights as the evening sets in. Outfitted with picnic tables and surrounded by fresh country air, it’s the perfect place for conversation, laughter, and quiet reflection before the night’s festivities unfold.

THE GAZEBO

Nestled beside the pond and its sparkling fountain, just steps from the firepit, the gazebo offers a cozy and romantic gathering place. Fully furnished and centered around a glowing fire table, it invites guests to linger under the stars, sharing stories, toasts, and laughter late into the evening. It’s the kind of space that naturally draws people together, wrapping your celebration in warmth and charm.

The Land

The Barn rests on over 35 acres of rolling countryside, lovingly owned and maintained by Tammy and Bill Koerner. Nestled within green valleys that invite soft summer breezes, the property offers wide-open space for your wedding activities along with the charm of grazing cows in their fenced pastures. Just five miles from downtown Thornville and only 40 minutes from the heart of Columbus, it feels worlds away—yet remains close enough for guests to arrive with ease. Every view, every breeze, and every corner of this land is meant to surround your celebration with natural beauty and tranquility.

Included Amenities

Our barn is more than a venue—it’s a place where your love story takes center stage. Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by the rustic beauty of the Barn, then wandering hand in hand through the flower garden as it blooms beside you. As the evening sets in, laughter carries across the pond while guests gather by the firepit, with a fully furnished gazebo nearby offering a cozy retreat. Here, every corner is designed to feel warm, welcoming, and timeless—ready to be filled with the people and moments that mean the most. Free membership is included in all pricing options.
