The space
Each area of the house has been intentionally designed to be an experience! We've kept as many of the original elements of the home as possible, as a nod to its 1870 origin. We've salvaged the original wood beam ceilings, oak floors and brick throughout.

Born in the 80s
My work: Wedding Venue Owner
I was born and raised in SW Ohio, and after 5 years in both Los Angeles and Chicago, we've made our way back 'home'. We love our city: the food and brewery scene, museums, live music and sports (although the sports teams have seen better days). We also love the small community of the Village of Newtown and managing our wedding venue Mojave East; Inspired by where we met. In our free time, you'll find us hanging with our dog Millie, working in the garden or planning our next trip together!
