  • Wedding

    Words cannot describe how PERFECT our wedding day was. The house was perfect from putting my dress on and final touches, the ceremony and reception were just as we envisioned, with a few added touches to make our day so special. The staff are truly “Fairy God Mothers” with decorating. My husband and I highly reccommend your venue to anyone we meet.

    Thank you so much for your help in making our event such a success. It seemed like the first time I talked to you I knew this was going to be the perfect place for us. You took your time explaining everything and answering all the questions we had. Friday night could not have gone any better. When we arrived the tables looked great and the room was totally perfect! Your servers immediately made sure we had drinks and the bartender was also great. I cannot say enough about the food - not one complaint. It was served in great fashion. Everything was delicious.

    The Davis-Shai House is such a blessing for Heath. The fact that it is run by volunteers is so amazing. Most of our group are from Pataskala, Kirkersville and Etna and we will be spreading the word about the best kept secret in Licking County.
