Beautiful setup! I attended a wedding and was very impressed by the barn itself, which even on a hot day was airy and cool. The view was stunning, with a pond nearby, including a willow tree as well as a lovely open air shed for snacks after the reception. The venue itself was larger and had a nice bar featuring beautiful lighting. I was very impressed by the mix of industrial and barn - some rebar, some old metal pullies, etc. At the same time, it had a lovely bathroom and was very current. read more

Would not recommend if you have older guests, especially in a wheel chair. It is not accessible and lots of steps over 3 stories. It is a beautiful venue, the location of the bar / food is awkward you have to walk through the dance floor to get anything. Plus you have steep stairs to carry your food up which was very difficult for those with small kids and older guests. read more

Wish I could say more than 'Attractive Venue'. But I never got the opportunity to go further than the tour. After my initial tour, NO ONE EVER RESPONDED TO MY PHONE CALLS NOR EMAILS for an entire month!!! read more

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this venue or Sam and Eric. Absolutely amazing people to work with - they helped with any situation that came up! I didn't have a coordinator and Sam stepped in to help the bridal party during our ceremony. The venue is absolutely stunning - all of our wedding guests complimented it! I was told they are opening as a winery sometime in the future and we will definitely make that drive to go here again once they do! If you're looking for a laid back barn wedding - have it at White Birch Barn!! read more

White Birch Barn - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Medina, Ohio

It breaks my heart to write this review because I wanted to absolutely love my experience at White Birch Barn. However, it didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped and had a pretty sad ending. I am writing this review simply because everyone says that my story needs to be told. After picking our wedding date, they double booked us - twice. We finally ended up booking our Sept. 30th wedding and the venue gave us a discount and assured us it wouldn't happen again. (Which we greatly appreciated) However, this was just the beginning. The planning phase was fine, the real problems didn't occur until the day of the wedding. Because we weren't allowed into the venue until 8am the day of, I had friends and family set up for us because I had to be at the salon at 8am. Although I had told my family where I wanted things, the owner was very demanding in where all decorations needed to be. I was under the impression that we were renting a venue, not an interior designer. A friend was actually told that she shouldn't hang up something she had made me because it looked bad. My family (who was from out of state) was unfortunately treated VERY poorly the entire morning and in return weren't very happy with me (the bride) for putting them through that. I was also informed by other vendors how horrible the owner was to deal with during the set up process. This made me incredibly sad to hear, as we go to the same church as the owners and expected more hospitality towards our guests. There was a wooden plank that I rented from the owner to be hung as a statement piece in front of the double doors. I paid $50 dollars and it was going to be my favorite part about the decor!! When I arrived at the venue, it was hung upstairs instead of downstairs and it was over my head table. (Which I already had decor for) I really didn't like it there because it was too much with the other GORGEOUS floral decor I had purchased, which made all of our dinner pictures look tacky. I told the owner as soon as I found her, and she told me it was too late to fix it. I asked for some sort of refund as I was very sad that it was going to be in all of my pictures and not where we wanted it for our grand entrance. She said she'd talk to her husband. However no refund was given. Although I'm not to the worst of it yet, the venue did have a lot of positives. We LOVED our ceremony and reception. It was actually a beautiful day and the wedding I always dreamed of. Disregarding everything that went wrong that day, we loved the actual barn and ceremony spot and were very thankful for everything the owners and venue's assistant did for us to set up and clean up. At the end of the night we had planned a sparkler send off. Before my husband and I had our grand exit, I asked the venue owner if she minded if we did it outside on the turf, she responded, "no! I don't care where you do it, as long as you don't do it in the barn!" We hugged goodbye, thanked them, and ran out the door. We left for our hotel right away, as we weren't going on a honeymoon. About 30 minutes into our wedding night at the hotel room...the owner texted me stating that there was an incident with the sparklers and that there had been a fire. We immediately felt horrible. I couldn't believe that there had been a fire. I felt like it was all my fault. I spent my entire wedding night sobbing in the hotel room. (My groom was obviously not thrilled, as it had without a doubt ruined our one and only wedding night.) I immediately texted the venue back and she said she "just wanted you to know and we will talk about it tomorrow." Obviously we couldn't sleep, it was gut wrenching that such a picture perfect day had such a horrible ending. The next morning our family informed us that it was in fact not a fire, but someone was being dumb and lit a group of sparklers that blew up in a girl's face. So it didn't catch her hair OR face on fire, she dropped it and it burnt a few spots on their turf. (Which has a fire pit on it by the way.) Although I was extremely disappointed that happened, my family stepped up and paid for it out of their pocket. They felt very strongly that it was at no fault to the bride and groom, as we had been gone for 30 minutes by the time it happened. It was an honest accident. (Unfortunately, this is something that happens when you own a venue.) After my family paid for the damages, they shook hands with the owner who said "we're good!" Which makes me believe that the owners texted us out of spite, just to ruin our wedding night. In my opinion, this was the most unprofessional thing they could have done. There was no reason they couldn't have contacted us the next day. But they didn't, in fact they never contacted us again. Because they didnt need to...everything was taken care of. To the venue, your turf was replaced. We can't fix what you ruined. read more
