Our story

We know what it feels like to not find what you are looking for in your dream wedding venue.

Aspen & Alston was created to bring a more refined experience to the rural wedding scene.

That’s why you will see great attention to detail— whether it’s the grand entrance, or the elegant courtyard, or the fine finishes in the restrooms. Aspen & Alston is a marriage of both the quaintness of a rural setting and the sophistication of the English countryside.

Our goal is to provide a beautiful backdrop for the day your family’s story begins.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 136:1 (ESV)

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

John 10:14 (NIV)

  • Amie Druehl

    FOUNDER

    Amie has a background in marketing, events and interior design. But her greatest accomplishments come with the titles Wife, to Erick for over 29 years, and Mom to their three children. She believes in the power to create beautiful life experiences in the everyday — both large and small. She prides herself in the ability to hone in on the fine details that come together to create a masterpiece experience.

    Aspen & Alston is her dream.

  • Erick Druehl

    TREASURER/CO-FOUNDER

    Erick manages the finances and groundskeeping at Aspen & Alston. He has a background in commercial real estate finance, having spent 25 years in banking as a relationship manager and senior credit officer. However, his true aspiration was always to leave the corporate world to start a business with his wife and best friend. Aspen & Alston represents the fulfillment of that dream.

    Faith and family are very important to Erick, and he hopes that everyone that enters Aspen & Alston will feel welcomed and valued. Erick enjoys being outdoors and working on the beautiful property that God has graciously put under his care. His goal is to provide a venue characterized by a heart of service that serves as the backdrop for lifelong memories.

    While he is American through and through, Erick loves British culture and sport, including the English Premier League. His favorite team is Tottenham Hotspur, which is like rooting for the EPL equivalent of the Cleveland Browns (coincidentally, Erick’s favorite NFL team), as Spurs haven’t won the league championship for 62 years. Thankfully, his alma mater Ohio State provides some sporting success to celebrate.
