If you’re searching for the perfect wedding venue in Northwest Ohio, there are two stunning spots that absolutely deserve your attention: Arlington Acres and The Barn at Seneca Hills. These “sister” wedding venues in Tiffin, Ohio combine rustic charm, modern amenities, and personal connections. This makes them some of the most memorable places to get married!

Arlington Acres: A Rustic Barn Wedding Dream

Owned by John and Sarah Bolte, Arlington Acres has become one of the most sought-after barn wedding venues in Ohio. The property offers a timeless setting for couples who want that warm, cozy, yet elegant barn wedding feel.

For me, Arlington Acres holds a personal connection. Sarah and I go way back. We first met in 2009 on the National 4-H Congress Trip and later reconnected at The Ohio State University, where we both studied agricultural communications. It’s such a full-circle moment to now see Sarah thriving (in Seneca County, Ohio) as both the co-owner of Arlington Acres and the manager of The Barn at Seneca Hills. (If you’re curious about the full history of Arlington Acres, you can check it out on their website!)

The Barn at Seneca Hills: A New Tiffin Wedding Venue

The second venue, The Barn at Seneca Hills, is the newest addition to the Tiffin wedding scene, and it has such a cool story. Before becoming a barn wedding venue, it was actually the Seneca Hills Golf Course, established in 1966. Fun fact: I used to play there when I was on the Old Fort High School golf team! 🤪 Man, I’m getting old!!

From 2011 to 2021, the course was owned by Bobby Pollitt before being auctioned in 2022. At its peak, it was a functional 18-hole course with over 6,000 yards of greens. Today, it has been beautifully transformed into a modern wedding venue, also managed by Sarah Bolte. With its spacious layout, scenic setting, and thoughtful details, The Barn at Seneca Hills is quickly becoming one of the top choices for couples looking for a fresh and elegant wedding venue.

Why These Wedding Venues Stand Out

What makes Arlington Acres and The Barn at Seneca Hills so special is more than just their stunning backdrops…it’s the people behind them. John and Sarah Bolte have created spaces that combine beauty, functionality, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn wedding filled with twinkle lights and wooden beams, or a modern celebration in a brand-new space, these venues are true gems in the Tiffin, Ohio area.

From a photographers perspective, both venues are AWESOME to photograph. 👌🏼 The White Pavilion at Arlington Acres is PERFECT for photos. Got a rainy wedding day? Pull them inside to the White Pavilion and get those line of lights that are on the ceiling, in the background of your photo…I promise you won’t regret it! 🤤

Whether the couple is dancing inside or outside on the stamped pavement, both dance floors are plenty big for any party size. We can’t forget the stunning getting ready rooms here as as well! Perfect lighting almost everywhere at Arlington Acres. 📸

The Barn At Seneca Hills is just as pretty! This venue has a taller ceiling in the main part of the barn and then shorter in height as you walk further back in the building. This venue offers a great “getting ready area” and two beautiful bars. 🍸 The one bar can be reached from the inside AND outside…how cool is that? If you step right outside the back of this building, you will see multiple areas for outdoor seating, areas when you can have a small fire, and a large green lawn that’s perfect for an outdoor ceremony. 💍

If you’re planning your big day and searching for the best place to get married, these two sister wedding venues in Tiffin, Ohio, Arlington Acres and The Barn at Seneca Hills, are a MUST to go see! 👏🏼 They both offer charm, character, and unforgettable memories right here in the heart of Northwest Ohio.
