If you've been searching for a Columbus area wedding venue that genuinely feels unlike anything else in Central Ohio, Jorgensen Farms in New Albany deserves to be at the top of your list. Sitting on 100 acres of working organic farmland on the northeast edge of Columbus, this fifth-generation family farm offers two completely distinct venue experiences — Oak Grove and The Gardens — surrounded by cultivated floral gardens, rolling hills, and seasonal beauty that changes with every month of the year. Photographers consistently describe it as one of their favorite venues in Ohio. Couples who get married here tend to say the same thing: they can't imagine it happening anywhere else.

Jorgensen Farms Wedding Receptions
Jorgensen Farms offers two separate wedding venues on opposite sides of the property, connected by the working farm at the center. Both accommodate up to 250 guests and each has its own distinct character.
Oak Grove centers on a historic Lord & Burnham greenhouse — a stunning iron and virgin cypress glass structure from the early twentieth century that floods the interior with natural light. The greenhouse is attached to the Cottage and Main Hall, creating a seamless flow between intimate indoor spaces and the lush outdoor grounds. It's the kind of venue that photographs like something out of a botanical garden, and couples who choose it often describe it as feeling both romantic and completely original.
The Gardens has a different feel — more open and expansive, with a whimsical landscape built around the Arboretum, the Meadows, the Hedgerow Terrace, and the Arena — the Arena being the primary dinner and dancing space. Tree-lined paths, flowering shrubs, and seasonal plantings create a sense of being surrounded by nature without sacrificing the structure and polish of a well-run event venue.
What makes both venues particularly special is the food. Jorgensen Farms operates its own certified organic culinary program, sourcing directly from the farm and partnering with like-minded local producers. Couples consistently say their guests raved about the food — not as "good for wedding food" but genuinely outstanding in its own right. In-house floral design using flowers and herbs grown on the property is also available, which means your ceremony flowers can literally come from the ground you're standing on.
The venue includes professional event coordination, full setup and teardown of tables, chairs, and linens, and complimentary parking with staffed attendants — a comprehensive package that takes real logistical weight off the couple's shoulders.

Wedding Ceremonies At The Jorgensen Farms
Both Oak Grove and The Gardens offer outdoor ceremony options that take full advantage of the farm's natural beauty.
At Oak Grove, the ceremony typically takes place on the lush grounds surrounding the greenhouse, with the glass structure itself serving as a stunning backdrop. The combination of cultivated gardens, mature trees, and the historic greenhouse creates an atmosphere that feels simultaneously intimate and grand. The natural light at Oak Grove is something photographers mention repeatedly — it's soft, directional, and consistently beautiful throughout the day.
At The Gardens, the outdoor ceremony spaces within the Arboretum and Meadows areas provide a more open, pastoral setting with sweeping views of the farmland. The venue's flower and herb gardens are often in full bloom during the peak wedding season, adding color and fragrance that you simply can't replicate with purchased florals.
Both venues offer indoor ceremony options as well, and the Jorgensen team has coordinated enough events to handle weather contingencies smoothly. There are quiet, private areas on the property ideal for first looks and private vow exchanges before the main ceremony.

Wedding Pictures At The Jorgensen Farms
Jorgensen Farms is genuinely one of the most photographed wedding venues in the Columbus area — and the variety of settings within a single property is exceptional.
At Oak Grove, the greenhouse itself is the signature shot. The large window panes, iron framework, and natural light create images that look timeless rather than trendy. Outside, the cultivated gardens, mature trees, and pastoral fields provide a range of backdrops from lush and green to wide-open and golden.
At The Gardens, the tree-lined paths and seasonal florals create a naturally romantic setting that works beautifully in every season. Spring blooms, summer greenery, fall color, and even winter's quiet elegance all photograph distinctively here.
Both venues are on a working farm, which means there are unexpected details everywhere — weathered structures, garden beds, natural textures — that give creative photographers something to work with beyond the standard portrait locations. Couples with pets can often incorporate them comfortably given the property's open, relaxed atmosphere.
Insider Tips For Your Jorgensen Farms Wedding
A few things worth knowing before you visit or book:
Oak Grove and The Gardens are separate venues on opposite sides of the property. When you tour, make sure you see both before deciding — they have genuinely different aesthetics and the right choice depends entirely on your vision.
The in-house floral design is worth serious consideration. Having ceremony flowers sourced from the same farm where you're getting married is a unique and meaningful detail that guests notice. The Jorgensen floral team is experienced and works directly with you on your vision.
Book early. Jorgensen Farms is consistently one of the most sought-after venues in Central Ohio and popular dates fill well in advance — often more than a year out.
The catering is farm-to-table in the most literal sense. The culinary team uses organic produce grown on the Jorgensen property. If farm-fresh, seasonal, locally sourced food matters to you, this venue delivers on that promise authentically — not as a marketing claim.
The venue is located in New Albany on the northeast edge of Columbus, close to I-270 and with several hotel options in the New Albany and Easton area for out-of-town guests.

The actual building is gorgeous with beautiful golf club scenery that the windows (which are pretty much 3 of the 4 walls) look out to, and classy chandeliers with a high ceilings which makes any room more breathtaking.
There are several hotels a short distance away from Pinnacle, just off I-71 exit, for your guests to stay at. This allows them to be very close even though they are not at the actual location.
The decor inside is neutral and it goes with any theme or color pallet you choose.
The ballroom is large and can accommodate almost anything you wish to do for a wedding. It can turn into a romantic and beautiful dance floor at night.
If you are planning on spending most of the day there, consider having your lunch at Cimi's (a restaurant in the golf club). It has a great view and it your wedding party will enjoy sitting out on the patio for a few hours before the ceremony.
We recommend this venue to any bride that is looking for an elegant/classic/vintage style for their wedding.

Medallion Club Wedding Receptions
The Medallion Club's ballroom is one of the most versatile in the Westerville area. At 7,500 square feet it can comfortably seat up to 400 guests, but it divides easily if your guest list is smaller — so the room always feels appropriately sized rather than empty or cramped. That's a detail a lot of couples don't think about until they're standing in a half-filled ballroom.
The center dance floor is a real advantage here. Having the dance floor in the middle of the room creates a natural focal point for the whole reception — your guests surround it from all sides, which means more energy on the floor and a better party atmosphere all night long.
One detail that makes the Medallion Club stand out among golf club venues: they only book one wedding at a time. That means the entire staff, the entire facility, and all of their attention is focused exclusively on your wedding. You're not sharing the venue — or their focus — with another couple.
Wedding Ceremonies At The Medallion Club
You have two genuinely excellent ceremony options here, and both are worth considering.
The outdoor ceremony space is on the side the ballroom is the more popular choice, and it's easy to see why. The backdrop is the golf course — rolling green fairways, mature trees, and water features that look like they were designed specifically for wedding photography. The space feels private and peaceful, even though your guests transition easily from cocktail area to ceremony site to reception without any logistical headaches.
If the weather doesn't cooperate, or if you simply prefer an indoor ceremony, the ballroom itself works beautifully for ceremonies as well. After the ceremony concludes, guests move to the lobby area for cocktails and appetizers while the staff resets the room for your reception. The flow is seamless and the staff handles the transition smoothly.
Wedding Pictures At The Medallion Club
The Medallion Club gives your photographer a lot to work with. The combination of manicured greens, fountains, ponds, and wooded areas means you can get a wide variety of shots without ever leaving the property.
The bridge over the pond is consistently one of the most popular photo spots — the reflections and framing make for dramatic, memorable images. The veranda overlooking the golf course is another favorite, especially for wedding party shots at golden hour.
One of the more fun perks: the club allows your wedding party to take golf carts out on the course for photos. It adds a fun, relaxed energy to the photo session that your bridal party will enjoy, and the candid shots you get between posed portraits are often the ones couples treasure most.
Don't overlook the ballroom itself for photos either — the warm lighting and spacious layout make it a great backdrop before guests arrive.
Insight Wedding Information About At The Medallion Club
The Medallion Club's ballroom is clean and well-appointed enough that you don't need to over-decorate to make it look beautiful. The room does a lot of the work on its own.
A few things worth knowing going in:
Tall floral centerpieces work particularly well given the ceiling height — they fill the vertical space elegantly without overwhelming the tables.
The center dance floor placement is a genuine advantage. Unlike venues where the dance floor is pushed to a wall or corner, being in the center of the room keeps energy high from all sides.
If you're considering décor uplighting, this room responds well to it. The right color wash on the walls can completely transform the feel of the space to match your wedding palette.
Free, plentiful parking is something guests always appreciate — especially the ones driving in from out of town. No valet, no parking garage fees, no stress.
The Medallion Club is located in Westerville, which puts it in a convenient northeast Columbus location — easy to reach from I-270, and close to hotel options for out-of-town guests.
Medallion Club Westerville Wedding FAQ

New Albany Links Wedding Receptions
The centerpiece of a New Albany Links wedding is the large reception tent, and it's worth understanding what makes it different from what most people picture when they hear "tent wedding."
This isn't a temporary structure thrown up for your event. It's a permanent, beautifully appointed tent venue with full lighting, a dance floor, and elegant finishing details that make it feel as polished as any indoor ballroom — while still delivering the open-air feel that draws couples to this venue in the first place. On a warm summer evening with the lights strung overhead and the golf course visible beyond the edges, it's a genuinely magical setting.
For smaller receptions up to 125 guests, the indoor clubhouse provides a comfortable, traditional country club atmosphere. For larger events up to 300 guests, the tent is the main event. The two options give New Albany Links a flexibility that many golf course venues lack.
The venue is located in New Albany — one of the most upscale and scenic communities in Central Ohio — which means your guests are arriving in a setting that already feels like a special occasion before they even walk in.

Wedding Ceremonies At The New Albany Links
The ceremony patio behind the clubhouse is the most popular choice, and it's a strong one. The space offers the privacy of a secluded outdoor setting while keeping logistics simple for guests — they can enjoy a pre-ceremony drink, take a short walk to the ceremony patio, and then transition directly into the cocktail hour before moving to the tent for the reception. The entire flow of the day feels natural and unhurried.
The ceremony area also benefits from the natural beauty of the golf course surroundings — mature trees, open fairways, and the kind of landscaping that photographs beautifully in any season. Your officiant won't be competing with the backdrop.
If weather becomes a factor, the tent's side panels work effectively to keep out rain and wind, which means your rain plan does not require a complete venue pivot.
Wedding Pictures At The New Albany Links
New Albany Links is a photographer's favorite for outdoor wedding photography, and it's not hard to see why. The golf course fairways, natural light, and open landscape provide a clean, uncluttered backdrop that lets the couple be the focus of every shot.
The ceremony patio area works well for both formal portraits and candid ceremony shots. The tent itself, once lit up for the reception, creates a warm and dramatic evening photography setting — especially for first dance and reception coverage.
The New Albany area itself is also worth noting for photography. The community is beautifully maintained, and if your photographer wants to venture just slightly off the property for engagement-style shots before the reception begins, the surroundings are ideal.
Don't overlook the transition moments either — guests walking from ceremony to cocktail hour, the wedding party stepping out of the clubhouse, the first look at the lit tent as evening falls. These are the shots that end up in the frame on the wall.

Inside Advice About At The New Albany Links
A few practical things worth knowing before your wedding day:
The tent sides work well in rain, but ask the venue to have them secured before guests arrive if the forecast looks uncertain. Better to have them closed and open them if the weather clears than to scramble mid-event.
Temperature matters for tent events. Even in summer, Ohio evenings can cool down after 9 PM. Ask the venue to turn on the tent heaters early — at least an hour before guests move into that space — so the temperature is comfortable when they arrive rather than playing catch-up.
New Albany is close to Easton Town Center, which means there are strong hotel options for out-of-town guests within a very short drive. This makes the logistics of a destination-style wedding significantly easier.
The free parking on site is a genuine guest experience win — especially for larger weddings where parking logistics can become a headache at other venues.
If you're doing a summer or early fall wedding, the tent's open sides at sunset create a beautiful golden-hour lighting effect that happens naturally around cocktail hour. Worth timing your photography around if possible.

Scioto Reserve Country Club Wedding Receptions
The reception ballroom at Scioto Reserve is modern, bright, and genuinely stunning. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the room, delivering a panoramic view of the ceremony garden and golf course that changes beautifully as the day moves from afternoon light to evening glow. Unlike venues where you're sealed away from the outdoors, the view here becomes part of your décor — and it doesn't cost you a single dollar in florals or uplighting.
The ballroom comfortably handles up to 200 guests for a seated reception, and the dance floor is spacious enough to keep the energy going all night. The layout flows naturally — guests move from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing without the awkward shuffling that happens in some venues.
But the real conversation piece at Scioto Reserve — the thing couples talk about more than almost anything else — is the getting-ready suites. The bridal suite is genuinely luxurious: a large, comfortable space with dedicated mirror stations for hair and makeup, soft seating, and an atmosphere that actually helps the wedding morning feel calm rather than chaotic. The groom's suite is equally impressive in a completely different way — it has a pool table, poker table, and multiple flat screens. The groomsmen are usually very happy here.
Both suites have private keypad entry with codes set specifically for your wedding party. It's a thoughtful touch that not many venues bother with.

One of the strongest arguments for booking Scioto Reserve is how good your ceremony options are — both of them.
The outdoor ceremony garden is surrounded by flowers and built around a beautiful pergola. Despite being easily accessible for guests, it feels genuinely private and secluded — like a space that was designed for the ceremony rather than just an available patch of grass. The pergola framing makes for beautiful photos, and power is conveniently accessible for your ceremony music setup.
If you prefer an indoor ceremony, or if the weather makes the decision for you, the ballroom with its dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows provides a beautiful backdrop. The natural light and golf course views create an atmosphere that doesn't need much additional decoration to feel special.
After the ceremony, guests move easily into the cocktail hour while the wedding party heads out for photos — a smooth transition that the Scioto Reserve staff handles with experience.
Wedding Pictures At The Scioto Reserve Country Club
Scioto Reserve gives your photographer an exceptional variety of settings without ever leaving the property.
The outdoor ceremony garden and pergola are obvious first stops — the floral surroundings and natural framing are made for portraits. From there, the golf course opens up a wide range of scenic options. The club allows your wedding party to take golf carts out on the course for photos, which is both practical (covers more ground quickly) and genuinely fun for your bridal party.
Inside, the floor-to-ceiling windows create dramatic natural light that photographers love. The ballroom is one of the better-lit indoor reception spaces in the Powell area, which means your reception photos will benefit whether you have a photographer shooting during cocktail hour or later in the evening.
And don't forget the suites. The bridal suite in particular — with its large mirrors, warm lighting, and elegant setup — makes for beautiful getting-ready photos that tell the story of the morning.
