How Does Your Event Rental Work?

1. Four-Hour Rental

Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Perfect for celebrations that require only light preparation while still leaving ample time to enjoy a brunch or gathering afterward. This rental includes access to the garden and use of the pavilion.

2. Four-Hour Rental with Villa Overnight Stay for Two

Celebrate your special occasion, then relax and enjoy the remainder of your day together in the garden. The rental begins at 11:00 AM, with the event concluding and guests departing by 3:00 PM, villa check-out is by 11:00 AM the following day. This rental includes access to the garden and pavilion for your event, as well as use of the villa for your overnight stay.

3. Full-Day Rental with Villa Overnight Stay for Two

Our most popular package for weddings that include both a ceremony and a reception.

The villa is available as a preparation space before the event and for an overnight stay afterward for the newlyweds.

Vendors are welcome; however, each vendor's trade must be pre-approved by us, and they must carry professional insurance to work on the property.

Are photographers allowed for my event?
Our garden and landscaping are designed and engineered to be the perfect photography backdrop. No one knows more about the special photo spots and lighting than we do. We are pleased to offer you special photography packages to choose from, or you are welcome to bring your own professional photographer.

How do we go about food and drinks for my event?
You can prepare your own meals using your secret family recipes, hire a personal chef, or have a professional caterer handle the reception.

Are all outdoor amenities available throughout the year?
The ideal outdoor activity season in Columbus, Ohio typically spans from early May through late October. During this period, all outdoor amenities, including the outdoor tub, will be fully available for our villa guests (not event) to enjoy. Please note that these amenities will be winterized during other months when outdoor activities are less feasible.

How soon should I book my event?
Each event request is carefully considered based on the type of event, number of guests, and the availability of our hosts and support staff. Please note that our Airbnb calendar is not an accurate reflection of event availability. Certain dates are reserved exclusively for overnight stays, while others are designated for events.

Popular wedding months, particularly May, June, and September, are often booked 6 to 12 months in advance so we recommend contacting us as soon as you have a specific date(s) in mind. The most reliable way to check availability is to reach out directly, and we will be happy to discuss your event and available options.
