Dreamy Winter Wedding in a Glasshouse Near Columbus, Ohio

When it comes to winter weddings, few places offer the magic of a glass-enclosed venue surrounded by snow-covered landscapes. This breathtaking winter wedding at Jorgensen Farms' Oak Grove, near Columbus, Ohio, felt like stepping into a snow globe. From the ice-covered pond and glistening icicles to the dreamy winter light streaming through the glass, every detail created an unforgettable setting for the couple's special day.

Winter weddings at Jorgensen Farms offer a unique charm that differs from traditional summer or fall celebrations. The natural beauty of the season transforms Oak Grove into a fairytale-like setting, where fresh snow blankets the landscape, adding an extra layer of romance. The greenhouse structure provides a stunning contrast between the cozy indoor warmth and the serene winter wonderland outside, making it an ideal venue for couples who want a dreamy and intimate celebration without sacrificing the beauty of the outdoors.

One of the most remarkable aspects of a glasshouse wedding in winter is the way light interacts with the space. The floor-to-ceiling glass panels allow soft, golden daylight to filter in throughout the day, creating a natural, airy atmosphere that makes every moment feel magical. The transition from day to evening is especially breathtaking, as the setting sun casts a warm glow over the ceremony and reception, setting the tone for an enchanting evening of celebration. The snow outside acts as a natural reflector, enhancing the brightness and making every photo look like a winter dream.

Beyond the aesthetics, there are practical advantages to choosing a glass-enclosed venue like Oak Grove for a winter wedding. Unlike traditional outdoor winter ceremonies, couples and guests can enjoy the beauty of the season while staying comfortably warm. The space is designed to feel open and inviting while maintaining the necessary warmth to keep guests cozy. Additionally, the venue’s design ensures that no matter the weather—whether it's gently falling snow or a crisp, clear evening—the wedding day remains uninterrupted, allowing for a smooth and seamless experience.

For couples looking for a venue that blends natural beauty, stunning light, and year-round comfort, Jorgensen Farms' Oak Grove greenhouse is an unparalleled choice. Whether you envision a soft, romantic winter aesthetic or a vibrant, festive celebration, this venue provides the perfect canvas for an unforgettable wedding day.

Emotional Moments to Remember

Some of the most heartfelt moments of the day happened before the ceremony even began. The father-daughter first look was filled with tears as the bride’s father saw his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time. Then, as the bride walked down the aisle, her groom couldn’t hold back his own tears, overwhelmed with love and emotion.

Newlywed Portraits in the Winter Landscape

After the ceremony, the couple ventured outside the warmth of the greenhouse for portraits in the snow-covered surroundings. The frozen pond shimmered beside them as they stood hand in hand beneath a towering oak tree, its bare branches etched against the winter sky. The air was crisp and cold, but their laughter and closeness brought undeniable warmth to the scene.

Snow crunched underfoot as they walked through the open space, the bride’s dress trailing behind her in the white landscape. These quiet moments, surrounded by the natural beauty of winter, became some of the most intimate and romantic images of the day. The way they held each other close, cheeks pink from the cold, made the contrast between the icy setting and the warmth of their love feel even more poetic.

This natural setting—so peaceful, so still—was the perfect canvas for their newlywed portraits. The snow reflected soft light all around them, highlighting each expression and every little touch. It was a beautiful reminder that even in the coldest seasons, love has a way of bringing light and warmth.

Sunset Magic & a Night of Celebration

Laughter and tears filled the space as friends and family shared stories, making the evening even more memorable.

As a fun and personal touch, the couple’s wedding cake featured a custom cake topper that looked just like the bride’s beloved dog. And to top off the night, Brutus, the Ohio State Buckeye mascot, made a surprise appearance, joining the dance floor and energizing the celebration.

To keep the party going, the bride and groom embraced ultimate comfort by changing into matching sweatsuits, letting loose, and dancing the night away with their guests. The combination of elegance, heartfelt moments, and fun-filled surprises made this winter wedding a truly unforgettable event.
