Retreat 21 provides modern luxury amenities for a weekend celebration in Columbus, Ohio

6 Reasons This Is A Must See Venue

Selecting the venue for your wedding is one of the first decisions in wedding planning and sets the tone for future planning and investment decisions. With so many venue options, Retreat 21 is a must see venue! Located just outside of Columbus, Ohio, Retreat 21 has covered all the must haves and additional amenities you won’t find at other venues! Below are my top six reasons Retreat 21 is unlike any other venue in Central Ohio!

On-site Winery and Private Tap House

Looking for a rehearsal dinner space to match your wedding celebration? The Tap House, located at the entrance of the property, is available for private rental. It includes an indoor and a spacious, outdoor patio to celebrate with your closest family and friends. Coming Spring 2023, enjoy Retreat 21’s handcrafted wine and cider in addition to local beer and cocktails.

Epic Getting Ready Spaces

The bridal suite at Retreat 21 includes everything needed for a smooth, easy morning. The large bridal suite with two story ceilings, has four defined spaces to comfortably fit a 12+ member bridal party. The kitchen includes a full size fridge, sink and table for all food and beverage needs. Hair and Make Up teams have abundant natural light at the make up bar with floor to ceiling windows. A spacious, lounge area anchors the inside space with oversized chairs. My favorite feature of the bridal suite is the private patio space attached to the bridal suite – perfect for bridal party photos!

The main house, positioned with a waterfront view of the natural swimming pool, is the perfect location for the gentlemen to relax while getting ready. A warp around porch provides outdoor seating with a spacious living area and full kitchen inside. Added bonus for golfer is the onsite golf course located steps from the main venue space. It has never been easier to play a round 9 or 18 holes before saying “I do”!

Versatile Ceremony Spaces

Selecting a venue with a beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony space is a must (especially in Ohio)!  Retreat 21 offers three beautiful ceremony options – under an old oak tree, waterfront or an open, inside space with oversized windows for natural light. Whether planning an outdoor ceremony, winter wedding or in need of an inclement weather back up plan, Retreat 21 has a beautiful ceremony space for all Ohio weather.

Onsite Cabins, Natural Swimming Pool & Golf

Make a weekend celebration of your wedding with your closest family and friends by staying onsite. Retreat 21 offers six cabins and one main house steps away from the main venue building and Tap House. Each cabin includes a full kitchen, full bathroom, hot tub, fire pit, two separate sleeping spaces and a living space to create a home away from home. The main house is located steps away from the natural swimming pool with a back patio, three sleeping areas, full bath, kitchen and living space.

During your weekend, golf and lounge on the beach while enjoying crystal clear water and no concerns about chemicals! It is 100% chemical free with paradise clear water, in the middle of Ohio! The natural swimming pool is one of my favorite, jaw dropping features at Retreat 21.

Dreamy Portrait Areas

Dreaming of open fields of wild flowers?  Long rows of lavender?  Vineyard vines while sipping a glass of wine?  All these are found on Retreat 21’s 64 acre property and ready for your wedding day portraits. With so much variety in backdrops for portraits, Retreat 21 offers couples to hold their engagement session on location in addition to wedding day portraits.
