A Local Landmark Steeped in History

Known around these parts as "The Shepard Place" this homestead was built in 1920 and was trade and residence to the Shepard family for over 90 years. Four generations worked this beautiful southwestern Ohio farmland. Living and loving through good times and hard times, the Shepards created a magnificent "place" and made a home for their family's memories and traditions. Recent renovations have brought this property up to date without losing its original charm. The 3500 square foot barn is now a wedding and event venue unmatched in its rustic elegance. Renovations to the home have added modern conveniences to this country masterpiece while preserving the dignity and history of rural living in the 1900s. Today the tradition continues; The Shepard Place is STILL a place where everlasting memories are born.

Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and its owners. This setting is beautiful and a great value. You have the venue for the entire weekend, not just one day. You won't find that at other venues. This is a great perk and was awesome for prep and rehearsal. Even better for us since we are not from this area. The owners and their family are accommodating and go above and beyond to make your day perfect. They are hard working, kind and make it happen. They work to ensure everything goes as planned. They make helpful suggestions and allow you to use items they have at the venue. They make sure the venue is clean and ready from covering the tables to wiping the chairs down. Things you wouldn't think about. They even helped with the clean up. The vendors they work with are fantastic - from chair rental, sanitation services, accommodations to food. Listen to their suggestions. You won't go wrong. I would highly recommend The Shepard Place. Thanks for helping make my daughter's wedding the day of her dreams. She loved it and we did as well. We received so many compliments. Thanks for accommodating our family and friends. Your service is outstanding. You are awesome!!! Mary Ellen Eckel Watts

We have our date set for October 2016 set for here. I already know that it is going to be the perfect day. The barn and house are just gorgeous! But that isn't even the best part in my opinion, the absolute best part of this venue and why we are so happy to have our wedding here is that the people that own it you can just tell that they honestly enjoy hosting the weddings and are very willing to help you out with making your day the best that it can be. So thank you , and we look forward to having our day and sharing it with you.

Seriously, we could not have booked our wedding at a better place. The Shepard Place is a gorgeous venue! The value of what they offer is so worth every penny we spent. The people behind this entire place are what make the experience worth it. I didn't worry about a dang thing my entire wedding day, because these people had it all figured out. They go above and beyond, and were so so kind and accommodating. It's not just a business to them. They truly put their heart and souls into this beautiful farmhouse and barn, and I'm so lucky that I was a part of that in some way! I would recommend The Shepard Place to anyone! Rozen Radaker
