We Do More Than Just Weddings

While The Davis-Shai House is a beautiful setting for weddings, our historic venue has also been the backdrop for countless other memorable events. From baby showers, birthday parties, and corporate gatherings to community celebrations, fundraisers, and annual traditions, we love bringing people together for every occasion.

Over the years, we've hosted local high school proms, business meetings, daddy-daughter dances, the Heath Taste of Summer Car Show, Hospice's Butterfly Release, holiday celebrations, Celebrations of Life, and much more. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a grand affair, you'll find the charm, sophistication, and personalized attention that make every event truly unforgettable.

The Davis-Shai House is a nonprofit arts and cultural event center serving Heath, Newark, Granville, and the greater Columbus area.
