A VENUE GUIDE BY:
AMBER DAWSON PHOTOGRAPHY
A unique historical setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Located in Cincinnati, Ohio
There are many beautiful wedding venues in the Cincinnati area, but there’s just something about these historical wedding venues that adds a classic touch, effortless romance and timeless joy to your wedding day. Hope you enjoy this small peek into one of my favorite historical wedding venues.
note from photographer:
The greenacres art center is a beautiful historic estate that once belonged to the fleischmann family of cincinnati.
Two interesting facts:
1. all flowers and plants in the beds throughout the gardens & Arts center property are grown in their greenhouse & changed out seasonally.
2. they have an organ that is original to the home, is 93 years old, contains 1531 pipes & still works to this day!
Photo opportunities:
Located in the heart of Indian hill & on 600 acres, there are plenty of beautiful photo locations for couples who have booked the venue on the property: terrace. inside estate house. formal gardens with fountains, beautiful flowers, greenery & wrought iron gates.
“The venue is absolutely stunning. From the moment the guests arrived, they were in awe of the beautiful setting. The staff are very courteous, professional and made sure everything was just right. It was perfect for our daughter’s wedding.” The Knot Review, Wedding 10/5/2018
”The place to host your wedding. Go down the beautiful drive and be transported to the most beautiful European estate. There is no other place like it in the state. Absolute perfection!”

Planning Tips from a pro
I
The Dress
Bustles often break, so ask for a French “under” bustle vs. an American “over” bustle if you like to dance and want to avoid carrying your dress over your arm all night.
II
Invitations
Before mailing, assign a number to each response card that corresponds with an actual guest…then write that number on the back of each response card – people sometimes send blank RSVP’s and these numbers prevent “mystery” guests.
III
Flowers
Ask your florist to label your “personal flowers” (bouquets, corsages & boutonnieres) with actual names of recipients to avoid confusion before the ceremony when they are distributed.

FAQ's
Originally called Winding Creek Farm, the Fleishmann family built the property in the mid 1920’s. The Fleishmann’s resided on the property until around the late 80’s. It then sat vacant for quite some time and was eventually purchased by our founder Louise Nippert in 1998 with repairs taking until 2007. At this point, it was renamed the Greenacres Arts Center because of its use as a hands on arts education center for local school children to visit during weekdays throughout the school year. It is also a host to summer camps and various special events throughout the year. On weekends the venue is used for weddings, fundraisers and other private events.
Our Indian Hill campus is 602 acres. We recently expanded into Brown County with another 400+ acres for research and education.
They host 10-12 wedding rentals each year.
The Grand Tent is available for rental on weekends May 1 – October 31 each year. If you have a smaller wedding party and would like an indoor wedding, the Arts Center (house) is available year round.
400 people can fit inside the tent during an event but we recommend a maximum of 350 if you are planning on having a stage and dance floor.
