What’s Included & Investment
Alton Farmstead couples love the value that comes with all the extras that do not cost extra when you’re celebrating at our Ohio barn wedding venue!

We are so excited to include this charming, vintage 1970’s converted horse trailer as part of the Alton Farmstead rental package! It was converted by another central Ohio couple for their own wedding, and now Alton Farmstead couples get to use it for their big day!
The possibilities are endless … bar, photo booth, ice cream bar, coffee bar, late night snacks … how will you use it for your day?

Comfortable
When the farm was a working dairy farm, fresh cows’ milk would be stored and kept cool in a below-ground pit in the milk house. The milk house was recently restored, re-purposed and converted into a charming, quaint dressing room!
It includes A/C and heat, and is a cozy, private and comfortable place to ‘hide’ as guests arrive prior to the ceremony
Some have even used it as their getting-ready space, getting their hair and makeup done right on-site
It also includes a garment steamer and a wedding-day ‘emergency’ kit
