Everal Barn & Homestead

This place is an awesome place to have an event that will work with the space. We went to a friend’s wedding that was hosted here, and it was a great success. The feeling you get from this place is warm and a down-​home feeling that you can’t get in many places around the area, if any others. It also had a natural advantage for a wedding, since there was a nice loft area where the taping of the ceremony can take place as well as a dramatic entrance. Surprisingly the place did not have issues with sound, which I thought it may have. There was also a nice quaint area downstairs where we had appetizers while waiting for the dinner service to be setup. Plus the outside areas are very well kept and give very good backdrops.
If you are looking for a very nice place for your wedding I would highly recommend, just from the experience of an attendee of a wedding.

The Everal Barn & Homestead are a set of beautifully restored buildings that date back to the late 1800s. Located right off Cleveland Avenue in northern Westerville, they’re available for rent as a public space for weddings, dinners, meetings, and events. The grounds are well kept and features a beautiful pond and bridge in addition to the restored structures, plus the park as a whole has several nice picnic shelters available.
We made use of the barn and grounds for our wedding, and the staff at Everal, particularly Kim Sipe, were incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with through the whole planning process, and the entire event felt like it went off almost seamlessly thanks to their help. Some advice — the space will only hold 100 people at most, and even with the addition of A/​C in the main barn, it gets VERY hot. Parking is still public, so you may be forced to compete for parking space, and the price for renting the barn is MUCH higher for non-​Westerville citizens. If you know a friend who lives in Westerville proper (they must pay local taxes to Westerville, not Columbus or one of the surrounding townships, even if they live in the Westerville zip code), it’s worth having them reserve the barn in their name so you can save money.
