The vintage barn is open-air.

There are two large sliding barn doors, two sets of double doors and a Big A$$ fan that keep airflow comfortable even in the heat of summer.

Space heaters are available in the cooler months.

For 2025:
Venue access will begin at 11am for Saturday weddings and noon for Friday weddings for all vendors, including your decor team.

Access to the bridal suite only is available as early as 8am if you would like the extra prep time at no additional charge.

Festivities must end by 11pm for Saturday weddings and 10pm for Friday weddings per our sound ordinances.

We ask that cleanup be completed and everyone off the property by midnight.

We do not provide an event coordinator.

You have the option to add our professional coordinator to your package. See here.

We do have a member(s) of our team on site for the duration of your rental.

They are there to maintain the facility and grounds and answer any questions you may have.

They also greet the vendors and direct them to where they need to go.

You may provide your own alcohol as long as you have a licensed/insured bartender to serve.

Hard liquor is allowed. We prefer a nice cocktail to beer and wine ourselves anyday. You are adults and have the right to decide what is best for you and your guests. However, hard alcohol can have some downside. There is a greater chance you will lose a portion of your damage deposit due to a guest that goes too far. As a result, we do not allow shots.

The responsibility is yours. So if you are prepared for that, then we are good.

You may use the licensed full-service caterer of your choice.

For single day rentals:
We provide a one-hour rehearsal on the Thursday before your event, between 5-9pm. Fridays may be an option, depending on availability. Rehearsal days/times are finalized two months out from your wedding date.

For two-day rentals:
Your rehearsal is guaranteed on the day before your wedding date.

We are not able to accommodate rehearsal dinners. There are many amazing restaurant options in nearby communities.

Our number one recommendation is an easy 25 minute drive straight down State Route 257 to Bridge Park in Dublin, Ohio.

Another option is Marysville, a 20 minute drive.

There are many Airbnb and VRBO options in Delaware, Marysville and Dublin.

Yes, Aspen & Alston is wheelchair friendly, featuring special loading and unloading locations as well as access to an ADA-compliant restroom.

At Aspen & Alston, we only host one wedding each day, to ensure that each couple's event is special and receives our full attention.

There are 75 spaces in the main parking lot and 20 additional in the overflow.

No. Aspen & Alston provides an gorgeous garden venue, tables, upgraded wedding chairs, and many decor pieces for the allotted amount of time. Linens can be rented through us, but are NOT included in the rental fee. You are also welcome to bring your own linens. For details regarding our linen package please click here.

In the case of rain we have a beautiful drapery backdrop for use in the reception space. Guests sit at their tables and the A&A team moves the few (usually 3 - 5) tables down the middle of the room to create a beautiful aisle. This is a beautiful option in case the weather truly is not cooperating. It does not require the room flip that other venues require, which would be disruptive to your event. Anything you had planned for your garden ceremony is reworked by our team for your indoor ceremony.

Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.

Real flames are permitted but must be surrounded by glass. There are some gorgeous artificial flame options as well.
