About Us

Where History Meets Celebration

Nestled in the heart of Fort Recovery, Ohio, Elm & Ivy is a beautifully repurposed chapel that honors its rich history while embracing the needs of today. Originally built in the 1890s, this historic chapel was lovingly rebuilt by the community after a fire in the 1940s. Today, it serves as a unique event venue, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern versatility.

A Family Legacy, A Community Gathering Place

Elm & Ivy is more than just a venue—it's a reflection of our family's deep-rooted connection to both history and community. The Wyerick family, consisting of Brandon, Amanda, and their daughters Brooklyn and Jadyn, are proud to welcome guests into this special space. As a family-owned and operated venue, we understand the importance of connection and tradition. We invite you to be a part of that tradition, whether you're here to celebrate a milestone or simply to create new memories with loved ones.

A Thoughtful Blend of Past and Present

Our design aesthetic strikes a perfect balance between historical charm and modern elegance. With a color palette of black, white, deep forest green, and vintage gold accents, the venue exudes timeless sophistication. The warm walnut wood details and carefully chosen finishes ensure that every event feels luxurious, while still honoring the past.

A Place to Gather, a Place to Remember

Elm & Ivy is centrally located at 105 S Elm Street, right at the crossroads of State Route 49 and State Route 119, making it easily accessible yet full of small-town charm.
