About The Swan Lake Event Center Wedding Venue

5900 Liberty Road, Powell, Ohio 43065

Located on 20 private acres, Swan Lake Event Center offers a stunning space for weddings of all styles. Since the center first opened its doors in 2019, they have quickly become the best hidden gem in the Columbus area. While the scenic exterior might be the biggest draw for most folks, the wedding service is what takes this venue and puts it in a league of its own!

With Swan Lake Event Center, you are going to have everything you need for your day. Your morning will start in the get-ready rooms located on either side of the building. The venue offers two spacious parlors with vanity lighting and plenty of lounging space. You can put on all those finishing touches before relaxing over a bottle of champagne!

The exterior offers several spots for ceremonies across its 20 acres. The Waterfall features a green lawn with a paved space where you can exchange your vows. The namesake waterfall will be in the background, offering a serene ambiance to your service. For those who would prefer something a bit more woodsy, The Forest is your spot. This space offers a clearing surrounded by mature trees. You will still be steps away from the venue for added convenience. The Meadow is a bit more secluded, offering nature-filled views every way you turn.

Once you have finished exchanging your vows, you can head to The Terrace just outside of the Main Hall, where your guests can enjoy drinks with a view. 

Once it’s time for your reception, your guests can head inside the Main Hall, where you will have plenty of space for up to 300 guests. The venue offers a large, rounded white ceiling with crystal chandeliers and neutral gray paint. There’s even a balcony where you can share a kiss!

Photography Opportunities

The Swan Lake Event Center interior offers several picture-perfect spots for your day including the Main Hall balcony. I always encourage my clients to head outside and explore the exteriors for portraits. The pond is especially picturesque with live swans that swim around. They also have accessible forests and fields ideal for couples’ portraits.
