Weekday and micro weddings in Hocking Hills: the big day for a smaller price
A micro wedding (usually under 50 guests) or an elopement puts the money into the experience instead of the headcount. In Hocking Hills, it can also mean a whole weekend away with the people who matter most.
Why weekdays make sense
- Lower venue pricing. Our Monday to Thursday package is the lowest price we offer, and it still includes The Barn, the grounds, tables and chairs for 150 and two golf carts from 11 AM to 11 PM.
- Better vendor availability. Your first-choice photographer is more likely to be free on a Thursday.
- A built-in vacation. Guests take a long weekend and explore the caves and waterfalls.

Elopement ideas
Exchange vows with two witnesses, have your photographer catch the sunset across the meadow, and spend the night in the Brick House hot tub. Ohio marriage licenses come from a county probate court; check the court's current requirements before your date.
Stack the savings with the season
Winter weekdays are the best value of the year: December to March dates are 30% less than peak season. See every package on the pricing page.
