Around Ravenna: New boutique event space opens in historic building
- Angie Reedy
Introducing The Yellow House in Ravenna, a boutique event space! The new owners, Regina and Matthew Heon, saw this old beauty and fell in love … soaring ceilings; French doors; long, sunny, wavy glass windows; big molding; marble hearths; and an original wood floor.
In 2025, this repurposed 1840s mansion received a top-to-bottom, inside-and-out refresh. The event space is composed of the entire first floor, featuring a welcoming lobby, new catering kitchen, dining hall, drawing room, sun parlor and front porch.
It is the perfect place for all types of gatherings: intimate wedding, family dinner party, baby or bridal shower, business presentation, off-site meeting, instructional class, open mic nite, art exhibit, pop-up market, celebration of life, quiet workspace, music recital, the options are endless.
Here is what people are saying:
“We recently celebrated my grandfather’s birthday at The Yellow House in Ravenna, and it could not have been more perfect. From start to finish, it was such a special experience that our whole family will remember. If you’re looking for a place that combines a unique setting with genuine hospitality, The Yellow House is an absolute gem!” Eventective user - Stow, OH.
“Absolutely one of the most beautiful, historic, warm and charming-beyond-words locations we’ve seen. Regina and Matthew are truly one of a kind, an inspiring couple whose attention to the details is exquisite. Truly, we cannot wait to come back.” Eventective user - Upper Black Eddy, PA.
