Kettering’s Polen Farm, a wide-open park surrounded by neighborhoods, is a community treasure. This 19th-century farmstead, with its rustic barn, historic home, and large green space, offers a perfect small indoor and outdoor wedding venue. Today, Polen is a vibrant cultural center, hosting a myriad of events, workshops, and gatherings throughout the year. Its setting provides the perfect backdrop for weddings, festivals, educational programs, and artistic endeavors. Polen Farm can host weddings near the outdoor gazebo or inside the barn. The choice is yours! Receptions are mainly held in the barn with the catering being set up on the ground floor.
Weddings at Polen Farm have always been smart and sweet for me. This historic Kettering Ohio wedding venue features a beautiful house that doubles as the getting ready area for the wedding party as well as a staging area for the vendors. Outside is a wedding gazebo with permanent bench seating. The preserved and restored barn (also sealed from the cold) is a nice space for small weddings in Dayton. There is ample space for the catering company and buffet on the ground floor away from the party area.
This is an adequate Kettering venue that is good for smaller weddings. The barn is comfortable in the fall and winter but can get hot on warm days. Good and reliable!
