MAIN Party Ideas Weddings Wedding Receptions Ohio

Planning a wedding and reception in the Buckeye State? Whether it's formal or casual, indoor or outdoor, Ohio has everything you need to make your wedding one to remember.

From Columbus and Cleveland to Toledo and Dayton — and indeed throughout the Ohio — you'll find some of America's top choices in hotels and resorts, country clubs, catering and reception halls.

However, also keep in mind unusual OH reception venues like historic mansions, parks and gardens, museums, art galleries, waterfront locations and, especially in the Toledo and Cleveland area — even yacht cruises on Lake Erie.

While traditional venues like hotel ballrooms have staff with the most experience in hosting a fancy wedding reception "package", the extra effort in finding a venue that reflects your unique style may be well worth it.

If choosing out-of-the-ordinary locations that offer wedding reception space, be prepared to work with an event coordinator who has experience in connecting you with trusted outside vendors. These might include everything from caterers to local DJs, bridal shops and florists, or even the expert advice of a wedding planner on staff.

If this is the case, don't be afraid to express what you want, but then sit back and let them guide you to the wedding reception of your dreams!
