Wedding Party

I'm having trouble finding my name under the RSVPYou have to enter your first and last name. Once you do this your invite group will pop up. Only click on who is coming. Is the wedding outdoors?Yes! Our ceremony will be held outdoors beneath the trees, followed by a reception inside the barn and on the connected outdoor deck. Guests will be able to move between indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the evening, so we recommend dressing comfortably for both and choosing footwear suitable for grass. What should I wear?Garden cocktail attire is perfect. Think summer dresses, dressy shirts, and comfortable shoes for grass. Is there parking?Yes—there is free on-site parking available at The Barn at Wolf Creek, with multiple parking areas for guests. There are two main parking locations: one behind the barn off Summit Road, and another to the left of the main house off Cleveland Massillon Road. Signage and attendants will help guide you upon arrival. Please note that some areas of the property include gravel or natural paths, so we recommend choosing footwear accordingly Please note that some areas of the property include gravel or natural paths, so we recommend choosing footwear accordingly. Can I bring a guest?Please refer to your invitation for your specific guest count. What time should I arrive?We recommend arriving around 5:00 PM to enjoy a welcome drink before the ceremony begins at 5:30. What happens if it rains?In the event of rain, the ceremony and reception will be held inside the barn. The space is just as beautiful indoors, and we’ll still be able to celebrate together in a warm and comfortable setting.

Garden Formal Attire. We recommend semi-formal to formal attire suited for an outdoor ceremony and barn reception. Think light, romantic, and comfortable—flowy dresses, dressy separates, suits, or button-downs. If you’d like, feel free to lean into the romantic, old-world feel of the evening—soft textures, vintage-inspired pieces, and timeless styles are always welcome. Please keep in mind the ceremony will be held on grass, so choose footwear accordingly.
