Krippendorf Lodge at Cincinnati Nature Center Overview

Nestled among resplendent woodland gardens, the impressive Krippendorf Lodge provides a unique location for stylish weddings. Built in 1900 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, Krippendorf Lodge is sited on more than 1,000 acres of spectacular forests, fields, streams and ponds. Guests enjoy the option of including time for a relaxing hike through the woods as part of a wedding weekend. From enchanting spring wildflowers to the dazzling colors of autumn, the ever-changing beauty of nature will provide you and your guests with an unforgettable event. Krippendorf Lodge features exceptional indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate groups of eight to 220. An expansive stone terrace remains protected from the elements from spring through autumn with a custom-designed awning allowing for views into the adjacent forest. A stunning, covered porch wraps around three sides of the home and offers additional space for many different event options. Several wood-paneled rooms can be flexibly joined together as one open area or remain as separate, more intimate enclosures. Experience an unforgettable wedding at Krippendorf Lodge.
