We got married at Canyon Run Ranch on 9/10/23 and our day felt like a fairytale due to this amazing venue. The ceremony site in the woods was straight out of a dream and the reception light filled with fairy lights felt magical. Amy was amazing to work with and it is not hard to tell how dedicated and passionate she is about this venue and the couples that choose it to host the most important day of their lives. Minimal decorations are required because the venue itself is so beautiful. I could not recommend Canyon Run Ranch enough to anyone wishing to get married there. Also Sara with craft events is a must! She made our day seamless, perfect and stress free. The only thing that left us feeling disappointed was how fast the day flew by, I think both of us wish we could live in the moments of our dreamy Canyon Run Ranch wedding forever.

I really can't say enough positive things about this venue. It's a wonderful, beautiful, intimate place. Working with the owners and there recommended vendors was a breeze. It all made for a fantasy wedding!

We simply cannot say enough positive things about this venue, it's owner, and our experience! To say that it was the wedding of our dreams would be a complete and total understatement. Amy & Gary (the owners) were unbelievable throughout the entire process. They made everything incredibly easy for us and made our day the most magical, special day possible. Every guest was obsessed with our venue calling it "the most beautiful wedding they've ever seen" and anyone who met Amy had nothing but positive things to say. Would 10000% get married here again and truly have nothing that we would've changed about our day or experience with them! If you're on the fence about getting married here - this is your sign to do it!

The most perfect venue! Canyon Run Ranch is such a special and unique place - you can't go wrong in choosing it ! Each and every one of guests was so impressed - from the ceremony in the woods to the reception and cocktail hour in a historic barn. Amy was also great to work with. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to the logistics of planning a wedding and offers great advice and input along the way. She also responds quickly to email/questions, which we greatly appreciated!

We had a destination wedding and chose this location without even seeing it in person, based on pictures and reviews. The venue is absolutely stunning, it did not disappoint!

Canyon Run Ranch is THE place to book your wedding venue. From the first tour of the grounds right up to the end of the reception, Amy and Gary were present and ready to lend a helping hand. It began to rain an hour before my ceremony was supposed to begin and when it seemed like all hope of having the ceremony outside was lost, they took me up to the venue and left the choice up to me. Rain cleared up and we had the most beautiful outdoor wedding. There were even rainbows, which just added to the natural awe of the venue itself. They made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable and I will recommend this space to all my friends and families for their blessed events!

The venue is gorgeous! Even though we got married during the pandemic, Amy and Gary really helped to make our wedding special. Champagne was provided for myself and my bridesmaids, and beer for my husband and his groomsmen. Amy allowed me to use one of her priceless vintage crystal champagne flutes (which I really appreciated). My parents really enjoyed conversing with Amy and Gary and were impressed by a private tour of the facility. Gary went the extra mile to help our grandparents out to the ceremony site. They put forth a lot of effort to make the day everything we hoped it would be. Their daughter Carly with Craft Event Bar did a great job as a DJ/Emcee and the "water lily" drink was amazing! Carly and her crew were more than accommodating and especially excited to help us serve our handmade craft beer, cider, and seltzer. Everyone was very kind! Carly even brought a pitcher of the signature cocktail to the wedding party and family during pictures to ensure that we did not miss out! If you can afford to rent Olive, we highly recommend it! The Olive photo booth was a hit! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

We absolutely LOVED Canyon Run Ranch! The venue was unique and everything we could have ever wanted for our outdoor summer wedding!! It was a venue enjoyed by all and we are still getting compliments, from our guests, about our choice of venue. On top of a beautiful venue spot, Amy and Cheyenne (wedding coordinator recommended by them) were quick to respond to all emails and questions. They made the planning process simple and stress free! And although I didn't meet Gary (Amy's husband), he was instrumental in helping everything run smoothly - I'm sure! I was also told that he was very helpful at the end of the night when one of my bridesmaids locked her keys in her trunk :) FYI: We also took our winter engagement pictures at Canyon Run and the property all covered in snow was equally as beautiful - something to keep in mind if you end up booking with them.

We got married at the Canyon Run Ranch in June 2019 and it truly was amazing. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful it was and how amazing they were, and Amy was so helpful. No one expected the ceremony site to be as exceptionally unique as it was, perfect for my husband and I. The property was just large enough where people could walk around and not be crammed into the barn, but it was very comfortable and so beautifully decorated, we did not add much. Everything is so lush and green. 10/10 would recommend

My husband and I were married at Canyon Run Ranch on 10-13-2018 and wish we could rewind and go back to this magical place. We were blown away by our overall experience. This gorgeous location is better than any place we could have imagined. Without question, Canyon Run Ranch gives you a truly intimate feel, along with feeling as if you are completely off the map, which is more than enough to make you never want to leave. Not to mention the owners, Amy and Gary, who were beyond delightful and nothing but helpful and accommodating. Amy even provided us with recommendations for different vendors, a handful of which we hired (whom we LOVE!) and offered such hospitality and warmth each time we visited for a walk-through. Amy was always ready and willing to answer any and every question we had during our nearly 2-year planning process and she was always quick to reply! On the day of the wedding, we had use of a beautiful bridal suite at one end of their home on the property. It was tranquil and just what was needed before the true hustle and bustle started! Canyon Run Ranch played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is testament to that. Amy and Gary, thank you for everything! It was a privilege and an honor to work with you and make our wedding day a dream come true!

Hi Amy, Just wanted to drop a note of thanks to Gary and yourself for the wonderful experience we had at Canyon Run Ranch, even love the name, kind of rolls off your tongue.
Right from the start you were very helpful to us, and all through the journey. You were very kind and nice with the many emails, texts, phone calls, and visit we made to the ranch.
The day of the wedding Gary and yourself were really nothing short of amazing. You both helped us along the way during the day, and so appreciated Gary's help getting people back and forth from the wedding site.
You may remember I was against the venue at the start, only because of the logistics, but the beauty of the Ranch won me over too! And it did not disappoint on the wedding day. The hassle of the logistics, transportation buses, hotels quite a ways away, and a couple other things, did not keep us all from pulling off a magical evening.
So we thank you both so much, from the bottom of our hearts!

Canyon Run is a dream location for a rustic wedding. Canyon Run has a beautiful woods ceremony location that is so serene. Amy is great to work with, so accommodating and really has an eye for making the place look spectacular. We had grandparents that needed assistance getting back in the woods and Amy was more than willing to assist however we needed. This venue was the perfect location for us, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a barn location with a rustic feel. It looks like a venue right out of Pinterest according to our groomsmen

The venue is the most gorgeous one I've ever seen (my caterers, too!). It was the first one we saw and it was love at first sight. Every venue thereafter just couldn't stack up. My guests described it as something "right out of Pinterest". Amy was really responsive and easy to get into contact. The altar is in the woods complete with benches for the guests. The walk is beautiful, or they also provide parking near the ceremony, as well as two golf carts for us to use. They provided all the tables and chairs, and the lighting of the barn is beautiful. Even in May, it was nice and cool in the barn. Toward the end of the night, they came around and took my in-laws to the middle of the woods to listen to the frogs croak. It was a story-book wedding and perfectly rustic. The bartenders are contracted through the venue and did a great job.

I first started looking at Venues a year and a few months before my wedding date. I knew I wanted a rustic wedding and so I started searching for barn weddings. All of the venues I first looked at were booked on the day I wanted, so instead of moving my wedding day, I searched for more venues. Finally, one day, my matron-of-honor and I stumbled across Canyon Run Ranch and never looked back. I went and met with Amy within two weeks of discovering the venue and booked right away. I went on a dreary, late winter day and I just trusted the property would be beautiful. Throughout the year, Amy was very responsive to my e-mails and answered all of my questions within a day, but usually within hours. The venue is just absolutely stunning and provides so many different options for photographs. We were not able to use the ceremony location in the woods because it rained for a day straight prior to our wedding, but we set up in the barn and it was just stunning. All of my guests were blown away and we loved the fire pit that night. Such a great touch. The ONE AND ONLY negative thing I have to say is that they do not have many buffet style tables and I had to bring some of my own 6" tables for the caterer to use. It really was not that big of a deal. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend booking Canyon Run Ranch. You will not regret it! Not to mention, Amy and her husband offer their house for use for the bride and her girls to get dressed in. I did not notice Amy and her family but my husband said they were very helpful the day of the wedding. Anyway, BOOK CANYON RUN RANCH. Stunning is the only word I can think to describe it.

Canyon Run Ranch couldn't have been a more perfect venue for our woodland themed wedding, from the secluded wooded ceremony to the rustic barn reception.

· Amy and her entire family were such a pleasure to work with. I booked this venue just a few months prior to our wedding date from the other side of the country and never seeing the place. Amy was so helpful answering questions and helping however she could. The venue was MIND BLOWINGLY beautiful. It was honestly everything I had been looking for, natural, rustic, vintage, chic, so much character and charm. The woods and arch at the ceremony site are breath taking. The barn is so beautiful. There wasnt one thing I would have changed about my wedding day. If youre looking for a place that requires minimal decor because it already has it all, this is it. We cant thank you and your family enough for helping making it so perfect for us!

This might be the best wedding venue I've ever seen. We had our ceremony up in a clearing in the woods which was perfect for us as avid hikers and backpackers! There were infinite opportunities for amazing photos throughout the venue (in the woods, in the clearing withwildflowers, near the creek behind the barn, in the room where I got ready in the main house, outside the barn... you name it they had it!). Amy (the owner) was amazing not only on the day of the wedding, but also the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. Any questions we had, she answered them. She was also great about suggesting other vendors that just added to our day's perfection. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!

Canyon Run Ranch is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I are both from large families, and multiple family weddings occur each year. We wanted to do something unique to make ours stand out, and Canyon Run Ranch offered a venue that did just that! We loved the relaxed, natural feel of the barn and woods, and our families were able to get a real feel of the Midwest (many New Yorkers were in attendance). It's so secluded and rustic that we all relaxed in the uninterrupted songs of the resident birds and forgot the world for those hours. Thank you Canyon Run Ranch!!!

We got married here in 2013 and had such a perfect day. We were so grateful to Amy and Gary and their team for taking care of our families and all the last-minute details to make everything run smoothly. They are great people - friendly, organized, and with GREAT TASTE! The details throughout the barn and the gorgeous bathroom house (I never thought I'd fall in love with a bathroom until I saw these ones!) are impeccable and make this place truly one-of-a-kind. Everything is hand-picked from antique stores, built by local artisans (the arch in the woods!) or re-purposed from the original structure. It's straight out of the Pintrest board of your rustic wedding dreams. This is a truly unique venue. Our guests are still talking about how "magical" and "special" it was years later! We're so glad we made the decision to get married at Canyon Run. Thanks, Amy!

From the Knot: 5 Stars Our dream wedding venue Reviewed On 7/08/2015 Emily R
After searching for months for a venue that we felt would completely encompass our dream wedding, we found this golden nugget!!! Canyon Run Ranch is such a beautiful place. It provided venues for a ceremony AND reception, which is a rare and valuable thing while planning a wedding! It offers a romantic, rustic, secluded place for you and yours to say I do. Amy Ward has done such an amazing job bringing this place to life and she is such a pleasant person to work with. We think back on our wedding day and literally cannot think of one thing we would have changed and Canyon Run is big part of that. It is a very rustic venue, no consumable running water, bathrooms are port-a-johns, and the ceremony is outdoors with no electricity hookups. Some people may look at those things as negative qualities, but it literally made no difference in the success of our special day. Our guests were comfortable and had nothing but great things to say about the barn and the woods. I would say that the quality of this venue far exceeds the price you pay for it. And working with a jewel like Amy, only makes it that much more appealing. I HIGHLY recommend Canyon Run Ranch for a bride to be looking for a rustic venue at an affordable rate!

Beautiful rustic barn, with outside ceremony sites Reviewed On 6/05/2015 Jessica W
This venue made my fairytale wedding come true. I love being out in nature so the ceremony in the woods was absolutely PERFECT! They provide hay bales with cloth over them (for an additional cost) to continue the barn/country/rustic vibe. They really let you do a lot that venues in larger cities (I'm from Columbus) won't allow. We bought and brought all of our own alcohol- and had an experienced bartender bartend. The catering was also perfect and was a great price as well. The whole vibe of the venue and ceremony site is truly magical, I wish I could do my special day all over again! Check out the pictures on their site and you'll know what I'm saying. It was perfect

Great, rustic location From the Knot: 4 Stars Reviewed On 9/23/2015 Jill M
We had a great experience at Canyon Run Ranch. The location is private and is perfect for a DIY bride. It is a private property, and the owners open their space for events. We chose to have our ceremony in a garden area near the main house rather than the woods. This proved ideal for us and our guests rather than the woods, which is a bit of a hike from the main house. We found the owner, Amy, to be prompt and responsive to communications. We were able to use all of our own vendors except the bartenders, which must be used through the venue. We were married on a very warm day and found the barn to be rather warm. Canyon Run has "portable" AC units available to rent, which we did, however, we found the barn to still be quite warm once the people and food were in the barn. Luckily, the barn cooled off significantly once the sun went down. There are several "add ons" available such as the large drapes for the barn, a golf cart for photos, access to a bridal suite shortly before the wedding, portable bathroom unit (highly recommend!!!), and bonfire area near the reception barn. Overall, it proved to be a perfect setting for our wedding.
The venue is the most gorgeous one I've ever seen (my caterers, too!). It was the first one we saw and it was love at first sight. Every venue thereafter just couldn't stack up. My guests described it as something "right out of Pinterest". Amy was really responsive and easy to get into contact. The altar is in the woods complete with benches for the guests.

It was honestly everything I had been looking for, natural, rustic, vintage, chic, so much character and charm. The woods and arch at the ceremony site are breath taking. The barn is so beautiful. There wasnt one thing I would have changed about my wedding day. If youre looking for a place that requires minimal decor because it already has it all, this is it. We cant thank you and your family enough for helping making it so perfect for us!

You will absolutely love Canyon Run Ranch! My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. Everyone was great to work with, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful Canyon Run is. If you are looking for a rustic wedding venue with a touch of elegance, this is it!

This might be the best wedding venue I've ever seen. We had our ceremony up in a clearing in the woods which was perfect for us as avid hikers and backpackers! There were infinite opportunities for amazing photos throughout the venue (in the woods, in the clearing withwildflowers, near the creek behind the barn, in the room where I got ready in the main house, outside the barn... you name it they had it!). Amy (the owner) was amazing not only on the day of the wedding, but also the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. Any questions we had, she answered them. She was also great about suggesting other vendors that just added to our day's perfection. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!

We could not have found a more beautiful place to get married. From the first time we met Amy, we found her extremely easy to work with and she treated us like family. All of guests were in awe of how unique the ranch is. We received countless comments from our guests saying that it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Not only is Amy a pleasure to work with, but the bartending service was also top notch. They made sure all of our guests were pleased and that we didn't have to worry about anything at our reception. We spent countless hours on The Knot looking for a wedding venue. If you are looking for a rustic venue with natural beauty, there is no other place that compares!

Canyon Run Ranch was the perfect venue for our day. The owners made everything a breeze and the day went as smoothly as possible. I didn't have to think about a thing. Not only is there a gorgeous barn, but there are multiple ceremony sites, we opted for the woods. Additionally, the owners were kind enough to welcome us into their home to get ready in a bridal suite. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Canyon Run Ranch is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I are both from large families, and multiple family weddings occur each year. We wanted to do something unique to make ours stand out, and Canyon Run Ranch offered a venue that did just that! We loved the relaxed, natural feel of the barn and woods, and our families were able to get a real feel of the Midwest (many New Yorkers were in attendance). It's so secluded and rustic that we all relaxed in the uninterrupted songs of the resident birds and forgot the world for those hours. Thank you Canyon Run Ranch!!!

We got married here in 2013 and had such a perfect day. We were so grateful to Amy and Gary and their team for taking care of our families and all the last-minute details to make everything run smoothly. They are great people - friendly, organized, and with GREAT TASTE! The details throughout the barn and the gorgeous bathroom house (I never thought I'd fall in love with a bathroom until I saw these ones!) are impeccable and make this place truly one-of-a-kind. Everything is hand-picked from antique stores, built by local artisans (the arch in the woods!) or re-purposed from the original structure. It's straight out of the Pintrest board of your rustic wedding dreams. This is a truly unique venue. Our guests are still talking about how "magical" and "special" it was years later! We're so glad we made the decision to get married at Canyon Run. Thanks, Amy!

We attended a wedding and had a great experience! The site is beautiful - it is very rustic, yet classy and elegant - the grounds were beautiful in mid-late May. The site for the wedding was a short hike through the woods, but a perfect setting under a canopy of maple trees.The barn is set up very nicely - the Milk Parlor was great for pre-reception and the main barn above for the reception was great. Perfect atmosphere and great character. Beautiful place for a wedding!

From the Knot: 5 Stars Our dream wedding venue Reviewed On 7/08/2015 Emily R
After searching for months for a venue that we felt would completely encompass our dream wedding, we found this golden nugget!!! Canyon Run Ranch is such a beautiful place. It provided venues for a ceremony AND reception, which is a rare and valuable thing while planning a wedding! It offers a romantic, rustic, secluded place for you and yours to say I do. Amy Ward has done such an amazing job bringing this place to life and she is such a pleasant person to work with. We think back on our wedding day and literally cannot think of one thing we would have changed and Canyon Run is big part of that. It is a very rustic venue, no consumable running water, bathrooms are port-a-johns, and the ceremony is outdoors with no electricity hookups. Some people may look at those things as negative qualities, but it literally made no difference in the success of our special day. Our guests were comfortable and had nothing but great things to say about the barn and the woods. I would say that the quality of this venue far exceeds the price you pay for it. And working with a jewel like Amy, only makes it that much more appealing. I HIGHLY recommend Canyon Run Ranch for a bride to be looking for a rustic venue at an affordable rate!

Beautiful rustic barn, with outside ceremony sites Reviewed On 6/05/2015 Jessica W
This venue made my fairytale wedding come true. I love being out in nature so the ceremony in the woods was absolutely PERFECT! They provide hay bales with cloth over them (for an additional cost) to continue the barn/country/rustic vibe. They really let you do a lot that venues in larger cities (I'm from Columbus) won't allow. We bought and brought all of our own alcohol- and had an experienced bartender bartend. The catering was also perfect and was a great price as well. The whole vibe of the venue and ceremony site is truly magical, I wish I could do my special day all over again! Check out the pictures on their site and you'll know what I'm saying. It was perfect

My name is Scott Sullivan - my band and I played Canyon Run this past weekend for the Smith wedding. I've gotta say, I was really impressed with your venue and especially with how well we were treated while there. I am requesting any info you can send to us so we can add you to our preferred vendors catalog (biz cards, brochure).
We'd happily recommend you to anyone looking for a venue in your area.

Hey Amy! Here are all the images you selected! I absolutely loved your venue and would love to do another wedding there! It was just so amazing! And I can only imagine how much fun I'd have there if it wasn't raining we could really explore :) But even with being limited on where we could go with the rain, it was one of my favorite weddings ever :) Enjoy! - Leah
Great, rustic location From the Knot: 4 Stars Reviewed On 9/23/2015 Jill M
We had a great experience at Canyon Run Ranch. The location is private and is perfect for a DIY bride. It is a private property, and the owners open their space for events. We chose to have our ceremony in a garden area near the main house rather than the woods. This proved ideal for us and our guests rather than the woods, which is a bit of a hike from the main house. We found the owner, Amy, to be prompt and responsive to communications. We were able to use all of our own vendors except the bartenders, which must be used through the venue. We were married on a very warm day and found the barn to be rather warm. Canyon Run has "portable" AC units available to rent, which we did, however, we found the barn to still be quite warm once the people and food were in the barn. Luckily, the barn cooled off significantly once the sun went down. There are several "add ons" available such as the large drapes for the barn, a golf cart for photos, access to a bridal suite shortly before the wedding, portable bathroom unit (highly recommend!!!), and bonfire area near the reception barn. Overall, it proved to be a perfect setting for our wedding.
