Where is Maple Lane Farm Located?

We’re tucked between Columbus and Urbana, surrounded by rolling countryside. Our address is 3483 E US 29 in Urbana, Ohio. We are conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown.

How far in advance should we book our date?

Prime Saturdays typically book 12–18 months ahead, while Fridays and Sundays are a bit more flexible. If you have a special date in mind, we recommend securing it early! We still have weekends open in 2026 and 2027, but they won’t last long!

How do we schedule a tour or request pricing?

Tours are offered by appointment only. Fill out the contact form on our website, email info@maplelanefarm.org, or text or call us at 937-484-7222.

What’s the retainer to secure our date?

A minimum of $1,000 retainer (applied toward your total) officially reserves your date and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is divided into payments due throughout the coming months and final payment is due 60 days before the event.

Do you offer payment plans or split payments?

Yes! We can tailor your payment schedule to your timeline. Many couples prefer smaller, monthly installments — just ask and we’ll outline options.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept credit or debit via online invoice, ACH transfer, or check.

Can we hold a date before booking?

We offer a short complementary “soft hold” for couples actively touring and finalizing their decision. A retainer must be received to guarantee the date.

How many guests can the venue accommodate?

Our main event hall comfortably seats up to 200 guests for dinner, with space for dancing, bar service, and décor.

What’s included in the rental package?

All rentals include the climate-controlled event hall, outdoor ceremony locations, use of the getting ready areas, tables and chairs, on-site parking, and access to the prep kitchen beginning at 9:00am on the day of the event until midnight.

Is the event hall climate controlled?

Yes — the hall is fully heated and cooled for year-round comfort.

Do you have getting ready areas?

We do! Our onsite suite offers natural light, mirrors, and seating for getting ready, as well as an attached kitchenette, living area, and full bathroom, while the loft lounge includes a TV, soft seating, and plenty of space for suits and snacks.

What’s the parking situation for guests and vendors?

On-site parking is complimentary and plentiful, with around 100 parking spaces, additional greenspace, and accessible spots near the entrance.

Are tables and chairs included?

Yes — round and rectangular tables, plus padded white folding chairs, are included with your rental. You’re welcome to bring or rent additional specialty pieces if desired. Linens are not included.

Do you have indoor and outdoor ceremony options?

Absolutely. Most couples exchange vows on the boat dock overlooking our pond with a fountain, but the lawn surrounded by the farm’s trees and open skies is another popular option. If you can dream it, we can set up chairs for you there. The hall transitions beautifully for indoor ceremonies during colder months or inclement weather.

Can we bring our own decorations?

Yes! We love seeing your personality come through. You’re welcome to bring personal décor items or rent through a vendor. We simply ask that all décor be removed by the end of your rental period.

Are candles allowed?

Real candles are welcome as long as the flame is enclosed in glass, such as a hurricane, glass cylinder, or lantern. LED candles are also a great option for outdoor setups.

Can we choose our own vendors for catering, florals, and entertainment?

Yes — we’re an open-vendor venue. You can bring your own licensed caterer, florist, DJ, or planner. We also have a curated preferred vendor list available to help you get started.

Do you require we use your preferred vendor list?

No — it’s optional, not required. You’re free to choose your own team!

Do you allow DIY decor setups the day before our event?

Depending on the weekend schedule, we offer early access and a rehearsal-setup option for an additional hourly fee. If the property is already booked, you’ll have access beginning at 9:00am on your event day.

What are the setup and tear-down times?

Full-day rentals include access to the venue and getting ready areas from 9 a.m. to midnight. Setup and teardown must happen within that window. We ask that your ceremony and reception last no longer than 6 hours within that timeframe.

What is your alcohol policy?

You’re welcome to provide your own alcohol as long as it’s served by a licensed bartender. We require a $250 non-*refundable deposit if there will be alcohol at your event.

Do you allow pets on site?

Yes — well-behaved pets are welcome for ceremonies and photos, with prior approval. We ask that they be leashed and accompanied by a designated handler.

Are there noise or music restrictions?

Entertainment is required to stay within legal and permitted volume limits and avoid unnecessary disruptions.

Is smoking allowed on the property?

Smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas only.

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

We’ll chat on the day before you event about the forecast and what plans need to be made. We can seamlessly transition to an indoor ceremony setup in the event hall or rearrange the schedule of events for the day to allow weather to pass.

Is the venue accessible for guests with mobility needs?

Yes — our hall, restrooms, and entrances are all accessibility-friendly. Some guests may find our outdoor ceremony locations to be a challenge to navigate.

Do you have on-site staff during our event?

Yes — a Maple Lane team member will be available to oversee the property, answer questions, and assist vendors during your ceremony and reception.

Do you offer early access for decor or vendor deliveries?

Yes — early access can be added by the hour, pending availability. The facility does not open prior to 9:00am.

What time does our event need to end?

All events and tear down must conclude by 12 a.m., unless additional time has been purchased and prearranged.

Can we leave items overnight?

Out of respect for next-day events, we ask that all belongings and décor be removed by the end of your rental period.

Can Maple Lane Farm host baby showers, corporate events, or markets?

Absolutely — we host private celebrations, corporate retreats, vendor markets, and seasonal community events throughout the year.

Are there weekday or off-season discounts?

Yes! Reduced rates are available for weekday events. Contact us for a personalized quote.

How do we inquire about hosting a public event or vendor market?

Email info@mapelanefarm.org with your concept and preferred date, and we’ll follow up with availability and vendor guidelines.

Do you offer virtual tours or Zoom consults?

Yes! We’re happy to schedule a virtual walkthrough and Q&A if you’re planning from out of town.

What should we prepare before our tour or booking meeting?

Bring your preferred date range, estimated guest count, and any must-have details. Photos or Pinterest boards are always welcome — we love seeing your vision. And wear good shoes. We love to show off all angles of our beautiful property.
