in Ohio-Cincinnati
 am looking for a nice venue around the cincinnati area. I am on a small budget ( my family is giving us $5000 ) thats all the money we have so far ( beyond our small contribution) I enjoy an rural area somewhere nwith a nice feel to it. I have contacted lake lyndsay and will be visiting them but they have the type of feel i am going for. the savannah center is over budget for what i would like to spend. Anyone have any other ideas? I will have roughly 150-175 people ( i could cut it down more if needed but would not like to  cut people out) O it is also for a November wedding. I would like to be able to still get pictures taken outside....any help would be great

    Our venue is the fop event center (fop lodge) in Joyce park in Fairfield. Rental is $700 an includes alot then you pick the food per person price. Definitely worth looking into!

    Laky Lyndsay is great but very pricey! $4000 for the main lodge and they offer no discounts. they also have some pretty strict rules. Its not a rural area, but i am having mine at the courtyard by marriott in hamilton and they are great for working with a budget!

    Lake Lyndsay is BEAUTIFUL - but a huge money suck. It's SOOO expensive just to rent the facility.

    You get a LOT of bang for your buck at Embassy Suites Rivercenter. There minimum for Friday nights is 3,500.

    Also - hamilton county parks isn't a bad option - though your guest list is a bit high.

    If you do go through Hamilton County Parks, be aware that you will need to work with Premire Park Events for alcohol and catering at some locations.  They have a prefered list. The space isn't too expensive, but all the little things can add up!  Happy searching!  :)

    Take a look at Voice of America Park. The Ronald Reagan Lakeview Room is VERY reasonable to rent! The room overlooks a lake & they have beautiful places for outside pictures, too!

    That's for Cincinnati Parks - Hamilton County Parks have their own catering service. :o)

    Have you found a venue yet?
    I am from the westside of cincinnati and have been to plenty of weddings at Mariner's Inn.  If I was having my wedding in cincy it would probably be there.  but i live in dayton now so I am going in the middle to VOA park in west chester.

    Mariner's Inn also has a north location but you have to use their catering which is more expensive than the river location. 

    good luck!
