A Beautiful Country Wedding Venue Just Outside Columbus

When couples begin searching for the perfect Columbus, Ohio wedding venue, they often find themselves choosing between the convenience of the city and the beauty of the countryside.

What if you didn’t have to choose?

Located at 5455 Davis Drive in Newark, Ohio, 22 Acres Farm offers couples a peaceful country setting while remaining close enough to Columbus for an easy drive for you and your wedding guests.

Our 22-acre farm is home to a beautiful barn, outdoor ceremony spaces, fields, a covered patio, a grain-bin gazebo, Bridal & Groom suites, photo opportunities, and so much more.

But what really makes 22 Acres Farm different is that we don’t just provide a beautiful place to get married.

We help make planning your wedding easier, too.

Here are 10 reasons Columbus-area couples should put 22 Acres Farm on their wedding venue tour list.

1. Closer Than You Think

One of the first questions couples ask is:

“How far is your wedding venue from Columbus?”

22 Acres Farm is located in Newark, Ohio, just outside the Columbus metropolitan area.

That means you can escape the traffic, noise and busy feeling of the city without asking your guests to travel hours into the country.

For couples who have family and friends coming from Columbus, Westerville, Gahanna, New Albany, Pickerington, Pataskala and other Central Ohio communities, Newark offers a convenient destination for a beautiful countryside wedding.

And your guests don’t have to sacrifice convenience.

There are numerous hotels nearby, restaurants, shopping, attractions and things to do throughout the Newark and Heath area.

The result?

A wedding that feels like a destination wedding without actually having to travel.

2. A Beautiful Barn Wedding Venue With Indoor & Outdoor Options

At the heart of 22 Acres Farm is The Barn, a versatile wedding space designed to give couples the freedom to create a wedding that feels like their own.

Your wedding can include an outdoor ceremony, indoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, depending on your vision and the weather.

Our property includes:

• The Big Barn
• Smaller Barn/Bridal Suite
• Covered patio
• 21-foot grain-bin gazebo
• Nearly 7 acres of picturesque fields
• Multiple ceremony locations
• Indoor and outdoor reception possibilities
• Beautiful photo locations throughout the farm including wildflower fields

And because you have both indoor and outdoor options, you’re not left scrambling if Mother Nature decides to make an appearance.

We have a Plan B for inclement weather so couples can enjoy their wedding day without having to make last-minute decisions.

3. Your Wedding Day Includes More Than Just a Venue

Many couples are surprised by how quickly the cost of a wedding venue can add up once they start adding tables, chairs, setup, cleanup, restrooms, getting-ready spaces and other necessities.

At 22 Acres Farm, we’ve designed our wedding experience to include many of the things couples actually need.

Wedding rentals include access to the venue and property along with:

• Tables and chairs for up to 200 guests
• Farmhouse tables
• 60-inch round tables
• Rectangle tables
• Indoor and outdoor ceremony options
• Two getting-ready/dressing rooms
• Permanent restrooms
• Caterer’s preparation area
• Commercial refrigerator
• Counter space and sink
• Dedicated bar area
• Guest drink station with ice water, lemonade and iced tea
• Parking for 100+ vehicles
• Venue team members onsite
• Security included
• Bar service included
• Something Borrowed Room items included
• Venue visits for planning
• Complimentary engagement photos on the farm by appointment

We want you to spend your wedding day celebrating—not worrying about logistics.

4. Our Something Borrowed Room Can Save You Money

One of the favorite features of 22 Acres Farm is our “something borrowed room”

Instead of purchasing every piece of wedding décor from scratch, couples can choose from our collection of décor and use it for their wedding at no additional charge.

That means you can find beautiful pieces for your tables, ceremony, reception and other areas without having to purchase everything yourself.

It can be a huge help for couples who want a beautiful wedding without spending thousands of dollars on décor they’ll only use once.

Our goal is simple:

Borrow it. Use it. Love it. Return it.

And move on to enjoying your marriage rather than figuring out where you’re going to store 47 centerpieces after the wedding.

5. Free Wedding Website + Free Wedding RSVP System

Wedding planning has changed—and we believe your wedding venue should change with it.

That’s why 22 Acres Farm offers couples access to a free customizable wedding website and wedding guest RSVP system.

Your wedding website gives you one central place to share important information with your guests, including your date, ceremony and reception details, directions, hotel information, registry links, FAQs, and RSVP information from The Peak Venue.

And instead of trying to keep track of RSVP cards, texts, emails and phone calls separately, your guests can use the online RSVP system.

This makes it easier for both you and your guests. Your wedding website can become the central information hub for your entire wedding—and it’s included as part of your 22 Acres Farm wedding experience.

6. Hotel Planning Made Easier With Hotel Planner

Planning accommodations for wedding guests can become one of those unexpected wedding headaches. Where should everyone stay? How many rooms do you need? Which hotels are closest? Can you get a group rate?

We want to make this part easier, too.

Through our Hotel Planner option, couples can coordinate hotel accommodations and make it easier for their guests to find lodging near the venue.

There are multiple hotels in the Newark/Heath area, including national hotel brands, and our location makes it convenient for guests to stay nearby while enjoying everything the area has to offer.

For guests traveling from Columbus or out of town, this can turn your wedding into an entire weekend experience instead of simply a few hours at a reception.

7. You Get Flexibility to Choose Your Wedding Vendors

Your wedding should reflect you. That’s why we don’t believe you should be forced to choose from a tiny list of vendors simply because you’ve chosen a venue.

At 22 Acres Farm, couples have the flexibility to select their own caterer, DJ or band, photographer, videographer, cake or dessert company, florist and other wedding professionals.

All vendors must carry liability insurance and be submitted for approval ahead of the wedding — a simple step that helps us keep the day running smoothly for everyone. We also provide couples with a preferred vendor list and planning resources to help make those decisions easier.

And because there are no food, beverage or guest-count minimums, you have more control over how you build your wedding budget.

8. Your Wedding Day Has Plenty of Time

At 22 Acres Farm, our standard wedding hours are designed to give you plenty of time to enjoy your day.

Day	Hours
Friday	9:00 AM – 11:00 PM
Saturday	9:00 AM – 11:00 PM
Monday–Thursday	9:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Day-Before Rental (when available)	3:00 PM – 9:00 PM for setup and rehearsal

Having access to the property for the majority of the day means you’re not trying to squeeze your ceremony, photographs, cocktail hour and reception into a tiny window.

You have time to breathe. Time to get ready. Time to take photographs. Time to celebrate. And most importantly time to actually enjoy your wedding.

9. A Farm Full of Picture-Perfect Light and Scenery

Your wedding photographs shouldn’t all look like they were taken inside the same room.

Beyond the barn and gazebo, the farm itself does a lot of the work for your photographer. Open sky for golden-hour light, sunflower fields when in season, wildflowers, and rolling country scenery that changes with the seasons. It’s the kind of natural variety that’s hard to fake indoors.

Booked couples can also use the farm for engagement photos at no additional charge by appointment, so you can start building your wedding album before the big day even arrives.

10. More Than a Wedding Venue—It’s an Experience

Perhaps the biggest reason to choose 22 Acres Farm is that your wedding isn’t just taking place in a building. You’re getting married on a farm.

Our property is home to fields, flowers, farm animals, honeybees, seasonal events and the natural beauty that makes Central Ohio so special.

Your guests can come into town early, stay overnight and enjoy the surrounding Newark and Heath area, with nearby attractions including:

• Dawes Arboretum
• Buckeye Lake
• Newark Earthworks
• Blackhand Gorge
• Local shopping and downtown Newark
• Restaurants and coffee shops
• Walking and biking trails
• Local attractions and museums

This makes it easy to turn your wedding into a wedding weekend. Guests arrive Friday, explore Central Ohio, attend your rehearsal, celebrate with you Saturday, and enjoy brunch or local attractions Sunday before heading home with memories that last far beyond the wedding day.
