My husband and I got married here a couple weeks ago. The place is beautiful and our pictures turned out amazing, but it is not worth the headache. The wedding coordinator did not do her job during the reception, my husband and I ended up directing the entire reception. It was laid out in our contract everything she is responsible for, which included directing the reception and making sure we stuck to our timeline. On top of that, we left with our entire sheet cake because she never cut it for our guests. When all of this was explained to the owner her response was, well the wedding coordinator is not in charge of coordinating the reception, even though it was laid out in our contract that she is. I also told the owner that I am extremely unhappy with their services and am very upset that my day did not go as planned because her coordinator could not do her job correctly, and she has yet to reach out to me and apologize for this. Finally, they were so rude to everyone, our DJ said that this was his first and last time going to that venue because of how they treated him. Do not book this venue.
We are beyond blessed to have been connected with Little Brook Meadows for our wedding in September! Despite the year of 2020 being so unpredictable, this venue provided excellent communication and we were still able to have a perfect wedding! We were excited that the house became available and we ended up booking the house for 2 nights too allow our entire bridal party and a few additional friends to stay with us, as this was a way for everyone to get to spend the 2 days together. Family could come and eat with us following rehearsal and it was a safe option so we didnt have to figure out how we were all getting from point A to B. Plus it saved ample amounts of time the day of the wedding, as we didnt have to factor in drive time. The house was perfect for us! Everyone had a place to sleep and space to get ready. The master bedroom/bathroom was absolutely perfect for all of us girls to get ready and just hang out. Our photographer was loving the features in and around the house! We loved that it still had the old charm to it and we continue to reminisce about our stories together from the rehearsal and wedding nights! The wedding day was flawless! Everything was set up exactly how I envisioned. We got married near the red barn and moved into the big white barn for the reception. City BBQ catered for us and they did a magnificent job! They know the venue and understand the expectations as they are there A LOT catering. We were able to set up a buffet on both ends of the barn along with the cupcakes. This kept things spread out and no one was waiting a lifetime to get their food. The entrance was perfect to decorate with pictures, an in-memory section and gifts/cards area. We were able to order our linens through the venue, so that was 1 thing checked off my list that I didnt need to worry about. DECORATIONS!! They have TONS!!! We saved so much money because we didnt have to buy decorations. Little Brook has ample amounts of items that you choose from and they put it all away at the end of the night so they stay organized, so that is one less thing you have to worry about. Our DJ had his own station near the bar and everything worked out perfectly and presented beautifully. I honestly cant think of anything that I disliked about this venue and the staff. We continue to receive compliments about everything, as it all went smoothly and everyone was able to have fun! The bartender was a lot of fun and so nice! We loved being able to bring in our own drinks, as this is a huge money saver as well. The wedding coordinator knows what she is doing and Im blessed to have worked with her at the venue! She is there for the bride and groom to make sure everything is on the straight and narrow. Before the wedding day, we met and talked about our expectations and the venues. She listens and makes the day exactly how the bride and groom want it to go (within guidelines). She helped with with the All Seated chart that made it super easy to formulate a seating chart for all of the guests and this helped to make sure tables, chairs etc. were all set up perfectly for when we did our set up with the decorations! Herself and the owner are the women behind the scenes making sure the day goes smoothly! I cant thank Little Brook Meadows and the staff enough for such a wonderful experience and we are beyond happy that we chose to have our wedding and reception at this venue!!
Wedding ceremonies are performed here. The nature is beautiful, we even managed to come across a doe with two fawns. The hall is also very beautiful. The property also has a large house with a kitchen and numerous rooms suitable for overnight stays. All in all, I have very good impressions.

2022-06-30As a Father of the Bride I was super pleased and proud to invite all our guests to this venue. The property is very well maintained. Grass, edging, plants, etc. There are multiple places for pictures, a house you can rent which we used to host the rehearsal dinner and allowed some guests and out of town family to stay. We also used the home to give extra space for the bridal party to get ready as well as the groomsmen. My daughter created most all decorations and when put together in the barn or reception area was beautiful. They have plenty of props and easels to use. We used their cupcake display. I personally enjoyed all the staff from the owner, wedding planner, and awesome bartenders. I also appreciated the wedding gift from the venue, their help getting us ready to host 160 guests was much appreciated. I had nothing short of a great experience and had so many guests tell me how much they loved the setting. I am so happy we chose Little Brook, I hope my wife or daughter take time to leave a review. I uploaded some pictures!

2022-06-21This was an amazing venue for a wedding. Our son and daughter-in-law were married here. The owner was great to work with and Sue, the wedding coordinator was so kind and helpful! She provided so much advice, which helped everything run smoothly.The venue itself is beautiful. The barn has been fixed up in a way that allows for a elegant setting for the reception. They also provide decorations to use or you can rent your own. The surrounding yards are scenic and perfect for an outdoor wedding.The mansion can also be reserved for the bridal party to have a place to stay. This is an awesome offering, especially if you have several people in your party who are coming in from out of town. It is close enough to Columbus to take advantage of some of the city’s amenities.I highly recommend this venue!

They were very accommodating and made sure our special day was perfect. They always knew to help us out and was always in spot with everything. I highly recommend Little Brook Meadows if you want an amazing wedding day.

2022-06-10From hosting my own wedding at Little Brook Meadows 10 year ago, to now working with them professionally as a wedding vendor, they are a top-notch wedding venue in the Lancaster area! The management is fantastic, and the buildings and grounds set the tone for any memorable event!

2022-07-31Little Brook Meadows is a wonderful venue, with even better staff. My husband and I were blown away with not only how beautiful the venue is, but also how organized and effective Therese (the owner) and Sue (the coordinator) are with the entire wedding-planning process. They truly took care of every. single. detail. and made the wedding day smooth and drama-free. Our wedding party and families loved talking and working with them as well, as they truly added the personal touch to our wedding day and we felt very special. In addition, if you are thinking about renting the mansion, DO IT. We decided to rent the mansion for two nights (the night before the wedding + the night after), and had our wedding party stay with us. This was an excellent choice, as we were able to have our rehearsal dinner there, and spend time with our people without the pressure of 100 other wedding guests around us. This made for a very fun and positive wedding day, as we were able to all be together before and after the wedding itself. With that, we were able to get ready in the house (professional hair stylists & makeup traveled to the house) and we have so many beautiful pictures, as the house itself is gorgeous. Having our wedding at Little Brook Meadows was the best choice we could have made, and we absolutely loved working with Therese, Sue, and Deb (our wedding-day bartender).

2022-07-23I LOVE this venue. My daughter was married here on July 16th. The property is stunning and the barn where the reception occurred is beautiful. Therese was so responsive to my emails for months leading up to the wedding. And Sue...I cant say enough wonderful things about her. She is Little Brooks wedding coordinator and I would trust her with my life! She helped so much in the planning process and was also very responsive to any questions I had. She literally ran the show the day of the wedding, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The day was perfect and the wedding turned out to be even more wonderful than I had imagined.

This place was literally a 1 stop shop as they have all the extras to use for decor. Our guests gave us so many compliments about this hidden gem. The location is perfect, there are so many gorgeous photo opportunities for the photographer. Little Brook Meadows encompassed the venue of our dreams!
