Hidden Gem

The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs is such a hidden gem! This was the first venue we looked at, and booked shortly after. Cait was personable and quick to respond to any email or text. The venue itself is tucked away from any traffic/noise and the layout itself flows perfectly. Having a venue that has a gorgeous backup ceremony space is a huge plus as well. Not many of our guests have even heard of the Washington before, but they were all impressed with its beauty and history. We couldn't have picked a better venue. Thank you so much to Cait, Beatrice, and the rest of the HYS team. Our wedding was a dream come true!

The venue itself was nothing short of amazing, providing a picturesque backdrop for our special day. Rich in history, our guests were blown away by the uniqueness of this hidden gem. Cait, the venue manager at Historic Yellow Springs, played such a pivotal role in making our wedding unforgettable. Her assistance and guidance were invaluable at every stage of the process. She was always ready and willing to answer any questions we had along the planning process, which helped keep everything so stress-free. Cait's expertise and dedication really enhanced the overall experience, and we are grateful for her support in creating a truly memorable day at Historic Yellow Springs.
