How to choose the perfect wedding venue
Choosing the perfect venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning an event. The space sets the tone, creates the atmosphere, and often becomes the backdrop for your most meaningful memories — whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or family celebration. So, how do you choose the right one? Here’s what to consider (and how The Farmhouse checks every box).
Location, Location, Location
You want a venue that feels tucked away but easy to find — peaceful, yet accessible. The Farmhouse at Emmett Ridge Farm sits just outside Cincinnati, surrounded by rolling hills, open skies, and the charm of the countryside. Guests love that it’s close enough for convenience, but far enough to feel like an escape.
Atmosphere & Style
Every event tells a story — and your venue should match the one you’re writing. At The Farmhouse, timeless farmhouse architecture meets rustic-elegant design. From the wraparound porch and glowing chandeliers to the panoramic views of our Highland cow pastures, the setting offers a naturally beautiful backdrop that transforms effortlessly for weddings, parties, and corporate gatherings alike.
Capacity & Flexibility
When choosing your venue, think beyond just guest count. You’ll want a space that can flex with your vision — intimate dinners or large celebrations alike. The Farmhouse offers both indoor and outdoor options, comfortable seating layouts, and open spaces for mingling, dining, and dancing under the stars. We work with you to mold the space to fit your needs.
Amenities & Services
Great events feel effortless, and that’s usually thanks to the behind-the-scenes details. The Farmhouse offers full-service catering with farm-to-table menus, curated bar packages, tables, chairs, linens, décor, and on-site coordination. That means fewer vendors to juggle — and more peace of mind on event day.
Experience & Support
The best venues don’t just rent you space — they partner with you. Our team at The Farmhouse has hosted countless weddings and events, guiding couples and planners through every step. From your first tour to your last dance, we’re there to make sure it’s seamless, memorable, and relaxing.
The Farmhouse Difference
Choosing a venue is about more than just square footage — it’s about finding a place that feels like you. Here, the beauty of the farm, the warmth of our team, and the attention to every thoughtful detail come together to create something truly special.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, holiday party, or corporate retreat, we’d love to welcome you to The Farmhouse at Emmett Ridge Farm — where celebrations feel genuine, beautiful, and exactly you.
