The Gahanna Sanctuary Overview

The Gahanna Sanctuary is an affordable, non-profit venue located in Gahanna, Ohio. We distinguish ourselves from our competition because we are historic– 127 years old in 2022–we are charming and unique, and very affordable for anyone who wants to have an unforgettable event but not break the bank. We're located near the beautiful Creekside area (great for picture taking), with ample free parking, just minutes from I-270, Easton Town Center and The John Glenn Columbus International Airport. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, our beautiful one-of-a-kind space features gorgeous Tudor stained-glass windows, ambient bistro string lights, an outdoor patio, a large prep kitchen, a spacious private suite for getting ready, and so much more. The Sanctuary, as it's known locally, is a popular and affordable site for wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, receptions and more. A Sanctuary associate is happy to help you throughout the planning process.
