About Crown Point Ecology Center
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by woodlands, prairies, and ponds, then dancing the night away in a historic barn. At Crown Point Ecology Center, our 115-acre organic farm in Akron gives you a secluded, one-of-a-kind setting for the wedding you’ve pictured, with room to wander, scenic spots for portraits, and a 1910 century barn fitted with vintage Edison lighting that can be configured to fit your celebration.
We host weddings May through October. While our barn can accommodate up to 150 guests, a tent can be rented at an additional cost to accommodate gatherings up to 300 guests.
Our experienced staff will guide you through planning, and our network of experienced local vendors makes it easy to build the team you need.
And because Crown Point is a nonprofit, your wedding does more than create a day to remember. It helps support our organic farm, farmer training program, and environmental education programs, so your celebration leaves something lasting behind.

Additional Information
Crown Point is located at 3220 Ira Road in Akron, about 20 minutes from downtown Akron and 40 minutes from downtown Cleveland, which makes it easy for guests traveling from both cities. We host weddings May through October, and each season gives the property a different look, from spring blooms and green prairies to golden fall color. Popular Saturdays book up early, so we recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date in mind.
Your rental includes 12 hours of access between two days (Friday/Saturday or Thursday/Sunday), with rehearsal, setup and cleanup built in, and our staff will walk you through the timeline, layout options, and any décor guidelines before the big day.
