(66)

The Colonnade is a full-service event venue known for very-tailored wedding events, formal dinner parties, and special gatherings of all kinds (celebrating 900+ events this year!). WHAT WE DO

We take care of everything according to your vision– the dinner, the drinks, the decor–or more. Eight weeks prior to event date, she'll help detail your preferences along a broad array of categories, and iro

n out any wrinkles you might’ve missed. This information guides our chefs, bakers, bar service, and in-house decor/design studio craft an experience suited to YOU— not someone similar, celebrating something generally...



OUR 3 LOCATIONS

1. The Colonnade
www.thecolonnadeohio.com
Our homebase in Milan, Ohio is climate-controlled and seats 50 to 700 guests. Best for hosting traditional 5-hour events (any time of year; rain or shine!). Usually the best option for corporate or community functions and wedding parties with larger guest counts.


2. Millsite Lodge
www.millsitelodge.com
Tucked away from the road tucked away from the city, historic Millsite Lodge is world of its own. Our 25-acre countryside location features full-weekend wedding experiences with full-weekend lodging for up to 30 VIP guests, catered rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony itself, and reception. Castalia/Sandusky, Ohio.


3. The Oak at Millsite Farm
www.theoakatmillsite.com
Immaculate 1880s grain barn seating 175 guests, and home to a majestic 390-year-old Ohio oak tree (we think it’s the perfect canopy for staging wedding ceremonies)! Available lodging accommodations for nine (9) in the guesthouse, with supplemental lodging at the next door manorhouse up to 22 persons. Castalia/Sandusky, Ohio. In-House Ultimate Décor

Everybody knows about our event design/decor option. Our designer studies the Pinterest board you’ll submit, and synthesizes a visual concept for your party or reception. We'll handle the flowers, the centerpieces, the linens and table draping, etc. We set the scene and we take it down. It's never the same twice, and it's got a stellar reputation for artistry— it’s also scandalously convenient for our clients. More info, or schedule a visit!
