Jorgensen Farms
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.
