Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Forbidden Lake Farm, Marysville

A wedding at Forbidden Lake Farm in Marysville happens on the shore of a sparkling lake, just outside Columbus. The event barn sits by the water, so your wedding photos can have the lake and the surrounding countryside behind you, and your videographer has open sky and reflections to frame the moment you walk down the aisle.

You can plan a grand lakeside wedding ceremony or a small one with close family, and indoor spaces are there if the weather turns. A full-day rental includes exclusive use of the event barn with tables and chairs, use of the outdoor pergola, and use of the Bridal House for getting ready on your wedding day, plus a one-hour rehearsal with coordination the evening before. The pergola and the water's edge are natural places for portraits, and the farm's you-pick wildflowers and seasonal flowers add color to the grounds in season.

The barn hosts your wedding reception after the ceremony. Catering, bartending and wedding planning come from outside companies, and the farm will put you in touch with trusted partners for each. You can also stay over: a lakeview master suite on the main floor is designed for the couple after the celebration, and an extra master suite and a pair of Jack and Jill rooms upstairs can house family or members of the wedding party, so getting-ready pictures can happen without anyone driving in that morning.

• Call the farm to schedule a consultation and check dates.
• Visit at the hour your ceremony will start to see the light on the lake, and bring your photographer if you can.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and which parts of the grounds you can use for pictures.
