Hey Cleveland brides and grooms. Chat here about the best tips, Knottie GTGs, and wedding planning in your area.
I am having trouble finding a rustic venue (I'm all about wood beams). I've looked at barns, but can't bring myself to pay just to rent the facility, plus chairs, tables, and linens... and then

I am having trouble finding a rustic venue (I'm all about wood beams). I've looked at barns, but can't bring myself to pay just to rent the facility, plus chairs, tables, and linens... and then going through the hassle to find a perfect caterer. Does anyone know of a place that has a lodge/barn feel and does their own food? The ceremony will likely be at St. Mary's in Hudson, so I'd like the reception to be around half an hour away or closer. Thanks!

Happy Days does not offer catering. Its a BYOC venue. I am looking for the same type of venue, but I am looking for someplace that will let me BYOC. Old Carolina BBQ is excellent food, and the quote we recieved is $3,500 for 150 people. We are looking for a barn type feel, so will probably be going with Conrad Botzum Farmstead. Thats about $2,000 to book. Our rentals wil be done through Sully's in Akron, and cost $1,000 for all tables, chairs, bars, and heaters. It is so beautiful that decorations, uplighting, etc isnt needed.
So all together that costs us $6,500. That is anywhere from $1,000 - $4,000 less then what the other "all inclusive" venues could offer for the same exact thing.

Thank you both! Maybe I will start looking at catering options and rentals since it would be comparable to (or cheaper than) doing all-inclusive. If you don't mind me asking, Kelli, what is included with Old Carolina for the price you're paying?

Another place in CVNP is Hines Hills Conference Center...for the rental fee you get the use of the Conference Center, Stone Cottage, rustic barn AND the grounds. Quite a deal if you ask me. You have to use a list of their caterers, but they do include Old Carolina. We are having both the ceremony and recption at Hines Hills this summer and couldn't be happier. The place is so beautiful that you don;t need much in the way of decorations. We are paying $1,800 for 10 hours.

Thanks everyone... I did look at Hines Hill and it's too small for what we're thinking (125-150). It does look really beautiful, though.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but have you looked at the new Tudor Arms Hotel in Cleveland? It's located at 10660 Carnegie Avenue, Cleveland, near Case Western Reserve University. Below are some pictures of the rental space.

A little farther away, but the Fieldcrest in North Canton has a lodge feel and does their own catering. http://www.fieldcrestofnc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=10#wedding IIRC, I think the all inclusive prices started in the $25/pp range? They also have beautiful grounds for pictures.

Fieldcrest is a little far for us. We have family coming from the Cleveland area, so we would prefer a place between Akron and Cleveland rather than out towards Canton. Jenjs4- I love the look of the Tudor Hotel! Do you know the cost per person? It's not listed online, but I could do some emailing. Thanks everyone!

What about Skyview Lodge in Brunswick? It's beautiful! It's very simple and it's the log cabin feel with a beautiful view and there a gazebo for the ceremony as well. I know people who have had weddings there and to me it's perfect and not overly done. Having said that, most of the weddings I've been to there were on a smaller budget much like my own wedding.

Book Happy Days and have Robert J Events and Catering do your food! They do everything from bar, plated or buffet dinners, food stations, cake cutting, everything! Bob is WONDERFUL to work with, I have used him for many, many events. They know how your guests want to be treated, can work with any budget to create whatever menu you would like and I guarantee if you book him, you have nothing to worry about!!!
