A venue for both ceremony and reception

girlazn1

Does anyone know of a place where I can do an outdoor ceremony in Nov and a reception site all in one location for under 3000

Hamilton county parks has the "wedding Setting" outside and it is 395.00. The you can go to one of their banquet facilities for the reception. The price of the reception is based on your need, but the major bonus is that becasue they are Hamilton County Parks and a nonprofit government organization, there are no gratuities and fees. Most places charge a 18-22% gratuties and fees charge. I am using the wedding setting for my own wedding.

Oh wait I missed the November part. They close for the season in October. Sorry.

Check out the The Embassy River Center in Covington.

Embassy Suites Covington has a $7000 food and beverage minimum, however there are no fees to use their rooms.

Only for Saturday nights.

We're having out reception there on a Saturday afternoon and our minimum was 2,500.

The minimum for a Friday night is 3,500 - but Shannon was willing to lower it to 2,500 since I asked real nice - but instead we went with Saturday afternoon.

my friend got married last October - (2011) in this brand new facility. it isn't outdoors, but overlooks downtown Cincinnati -fountain square. large enough to do both wedding and reception and they don't charge 18% or any other fees. bring your own caterer and vendors - I guess because they are so new. they took outdoor pictures on fountain square and just walked over to the venue. very pretty. the rental fee was around $2000 for the space. seemed like a deal...

Krippendorf Lodge is so pretty. The setting would be just beautiful in November. Another place that came to mind was Manor House, for an afternoon wedding.

We looked at Lake Lyndsay  kirdendoh and manor house and thought it was very beautiful but its way out of the way we will be having alot of out of towners so something either downtown or on the east side of 275 this week we will be going to the anderson center on five mile and the center downtown but thanks for the suggestions ladies greatly appreciated
