Reception Venue without the catering

teentall4

Hey!

I am looking for a great venue for my reception, but I want to bring in my own caterer.  Do you know of places that let you bring in whoever you want?  Thanks for your help!

Pick up a copy of Columbus Bride magazine. I found it very helpful when I was planning my wedding.

Swim and Racquet Club in Upper Arlington off Kenny Rd. You get to bring your own alcohol too.

I think most places you can talk to about the option of bringing in your own caterer.  I know that the venue I work at has a chef, but we have had outside caterers come in to prepare for weddings. It never hurts to ask possible venues.

My suggestion would be find a venue that you love and talk to the manager/coordinator or the place about outside catering options. If they want your business bad enough, they will be flexible.  HTH!

Northbank Park and Bryn Du Mansion. Maybe Jeffrey Mansion too.

Valley Dale Ballroom... You can pretty much bring any caterer

How much does the Valley Dale cost? I couldn't find anything on the website about it. TIA

I tour the Valley Dale on Tuesday.  They don't give you prices =/ But I have heard you have to pay $300 to hire police because of the area. I'll let you know how Tuesday goes.

You do have to hire 1 security guard per 300 people. My wedding will be held at the Valley Dale next June For drinks, rental, etc. we paid about 3k. If you need more details feel free to PM me, I have a copy of their contract and prices and such. Oh, and my wedding is on a Friday. Saturday has a 3,750 minimum, and we actually switched our date so we could afford it. You get 5 hrs, $200 per extra hour.
