Our Property

Highfields is a thoughtfully designed property nestled on rolling land in Northeast Ohio that celebrates natural beauty, timeless design, and intentional living. Rooted in values of sustainability and community, every detail—from the landscape to the layout—reflects a vision of elegance, warmth, and connection to nature. The atmosphere is serene yet sophisticated, creating a perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings.

Design Vision & Inspiration

The vision for Highfields began with a deep appreciation for meaningful gatherings—both indoors and out. During time spent in the English countryside, the owner explored estates and event spaces that blended natural beauty with refined architectural design. These experiences shaped a desire to create something similar back home: a venue where guests could move effortlessly between open-air terraces, garden pathways, and modern interiors. Through months of research, she discovered visual inspirations—images of warm wood structures, open breezeways, and architecture that honored its surroundings. These references helped guide the design of Highfields into what it is today: a place where nature and structure exist in balance, and every celebration feels both elevated and grounded.

Then & Now

Since 1959, the Kuryla family has owned the property where Highfields now stands. They tended livestock and made a life around raising horses for recreational enjoyment. Preserving the mature woods, taking advantage of open space and remembering the past as we design for the future has been a part of the vision for Highfields Event Center since the beginning. These family photos from the 60's capture the essence of the beautiful wooded property and natural private setting for what is now an elegant wedding and meeting venue site all conveniently located in Hudson, Ohio.

Pollinator Partnership & Sustainability

Highfields is proud to support pollinator-friendly practices as part of our commitment to sustainability and land stewardship. Our gardens and meadows are planted with native species that provide vital habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Through our partnership with national and local initiatives, we help protect these essential species while offering couples and guests the opportunity to celebrate in a living, breathing landscape that gives back to the environment.
