Small Intimate Venue???

kbriner

My fiance and I are planning on having a morning wedding (11am) and then a brunch afterwards (12pm) and are looking for a reasonably priced venue that is still unique but personal (app. 100 people). We don't want a hotel or ballroom or large reception site. We were thinking more of a mansion or manor? Any ideas or help? I've looked at all of the big name mansions in the are and they're outrageously priced... Any ideas are more than welcome! Thanks!!

We are getting married at Wiedemann Hill Mansion but it's a limit of 60 people but if you choose to cut your list then I would highly recommend it

You should look into the chapel at Heritage Village in Sharon Woods Park.  My fiance and I are having our ceremony there.  It's an old chapel from the mid-19th century that they moved to the park and restored. It's adorable.   I don't know what month you're looking at or what feel you're going for, but I believe you can set up an outdoor reception afterward outside the manor house on the property.  www.heritagevillagecincinnati.org  Good luck!

We're just looking for somewhere to do the brunch at- not the ceremony.

Try The View restaurant in the Edgecliff highrise in Eden Park.  It has a very nice room that comfortably accomodates ~100 and their food is great.  I love the fact that it's conveniently located and they offer free indoor parking for guests.  We attended a small wedding there earlier this year and I was surprised the meeting room even existed (I'd been to the restaurant itself multiple times but it was my first time experiencing the private room).  This wedding had a buffet; I don't know if they offer sit down/served accomodations.   Good luck and let us know where you end up.

Try the Carnegie Center in Columbia Tusculum (not the one in Covington)

Another idea, have you tried the French House in French park?

One more to try is Memorial Hall. We looked there and they seat 100 people. It's not a mansion, but still really beautiful and intimate. They let you choose your own caterer and do your own bar, which can save some money!

Take a look at Pebble Creek, as well. Not at all banquet-hall-like. It actually looks like a southern mansion. There are a few rooms there that would definitely be appropriate for your event. www.pebblecreekgc.com, if you call ask for Mary Padro- she's the event coordinator there, very helpful!
