Darby House

Located on a 1200 acre estate in Columbus, Ohio, Darby House is a serene location with rich history to celebrate the beginning of your marriage. Inspiration from the idyllic Kentucky horse farms are found through out the property and venue space. One of the most notable is the mile long drive, lined with mature trees and white fencing. The Darby House includes three areas for hosting for your wedding – The Waterside Terrace, The Racing Room and The Dining Room. The use of all three areas provides flexibility for rain plans and a relaxing guest experience with no travel needed between the ceremony and reception. In addition to the event space, both getting ready suites are newly remodeled and there are endless locations for stunning portraits!
