Venues near Dayton

I am looking for some suggestions on venues near Dayton.  I want to have the ceremony and reception at the same place(not in the same room).  We were thinking outdoors, but its not necessary.  Cheaper the better!

I have been looking at Benham's Grove and Polen Farms does anyone have any opinions on either of those?

Thanks!!!

    Benhams Grove is beautiful!!  Another place that you might check is Shaker Run Golf Club (www.shakerrungolfclub.com)  It's awesome...that is actually the place we picked for our wedding.  They have amazing views from the Ballroom, and the option of another beautiful building or outside for the reception.   I've been dealing with Julie Gutzwiller, and I can not even tell you how much I love her.  She has been fantastic, and she can give you a ton of ideas on how to save money, as well as give recomendations for other vendors. Location is great, but Julie is probably the main reason that we chose Shaker Run.  It's located at the edge of Lebanon and Middletown, about 10 mins off of I-75

    You could look at Beavercreek Golf Club. That's where we're having our wedding. There is an outdoor Gazebo and then the ceremony is inside. Everyone I've talked to who had an event there loves it.

    I've heard good things about both Benham's Grove and Polen Farms. In Springboro There is a beautiful Victorian Home that now hosts special events. Here is the information.  They don't have a website but if you live close by I would recommend driving by to see it! 

    The Aron Wright House 
    155 West Central Avenue 
    Springboro, OH 45066 
    (937) 748-9073

    Thanks for all the recommendations.  We went to tour Benham's Grove and they forgot about our meeting, after calling to remind them they showed us the barn and it was trashed.  They seemed to not care at all if we booked, he kept telling us, "we do a lot of weddings here."  really snooty!  Now they aren't replying to emails, I am so over them!  

    Oh and Polen Farms has a wedding already scheduled on our date...the search continues...

    The Mandalay Banquet Center does both. It's right near Dayton/Moraine. Packages are decent pricing for what you get. The remodeled a lot of their banquet area. Good food. Work close with a few vendors. I've been pleased with the process so far
